TENSION aELAxEs IN GUIANA.
Probable Peaceful settlement Hailed
with Delight.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-The mail from
British Guiana just to hand indicates that
the effect Of the prospective arrangements of
the boundary difficulty with Venezuela has
been to relax the tension which prevailed
there and permit the British colonial
authorities to diminish the precautions that
had been taken to prevent the possible
forcible seizure of territory claimed by the
British in the uruan section. Heretofore a
police guard has been maintained at Uruan,
but 1t ID announced that when the term Of
the present police contingent shall have
expired an Indian postholder will be sub
stituted for service at this outlying station.
Such an official will, II is said, be able to
maintain the British territorial title not the
less effectively than the police, While the
men will not be exposed to the malarial in
fuence that has so often proven fatal.
H. Is also announced that the Venezuelan
government has paid over the indemnity
demanded In respect Cf what is known as the
Uruan incident when certain OF the British
colonial police stationed there were arrested
by Venezuelan guards. thereby causing some
heated feeling for a time and even threat
cning to defeat the consummation Of the
peaceful settlement OF the whole boundary
dispute by arbitration. The money paid over
has been allotted as follows; To Inspectors
Barnes and Baker, who were the principal
victims, $500 each, and to the police con-
stables composing the garrison flOO each.
The terms of the treaty arranged between
the United States and Great Britain for the
settlement of the boundary dispute are
regarded in the colony OF Guiana as on the
whole very favorable for Great Britain, and
il il confidently expected that the result OF
the arbitral investigation will be to confirm
the British claim in every material
particular The colonss have been warned
to prepare themselves for possible de-
parture from the Schomburgk line in the
upper basin of the Cuyuni. but it is said there
Is no fear of their retaining the whole of
the northwest district, which after all, is
the most important territory in dispute

TO-DAY'S MATINEE.
Professor Gleason Will Guido All His
Previous EeatS.

One of the best shows yet given by
Professor Gleason was at the New Pa
vqlion last night and he had something
tough to handle.
The Professor does not like a mild,
gentle animal whom anyone can control.
He wants a terror. He got one last
night, and for time he had all he could
do to keep a mild-looking but vicious
roam from Waiting over the chairs and
jumping into the gallery.
This afternoon he will have special
matinee and has agreed to tame the
most vicious brute in Sacramento
County if it takes him all day to do it.
He is on his mettle. He feels that he has
met with a foeman worthy of his steel
and he is going to conquer or die in the
attempt.
He will commence the performance
by entering a 24-foot pen, nine feet high,
with a vicious biting stallion loose in it
one of the most dangerous featS in
horse-taming ever attempted. He will
also handle the BLACK Demon" the
gray horse and number of others.
To-day closes the Professors engage
ment and the only chance to see a really
good exhibition of horse tanning is at the
matinee this afternoon and at the regu-
lar show in the evening.

Everybody seemed to be loaded for

no intermission. They tried to stop and
take coffee and other good things, but
whenever man got a cup of coffee to
his lips some other comrade would get

would splutter away.

TWO ARRESTED.
Suspected of Taking Part in the
OrangevaIe Outrage.

Yesterday morning witnessed a Sc
quel to the Orangevale White Cap oc-
currence, two men being arrested on a
charge of false imprisonment by Con-
stable Whitney and brought TO this
city, where they gave bail and were
released.
1t Will be remembered that some time
ago six masked men went to the house
OF *. G. Raaf, who had employed two
japanese to do some pruning for him.
They put ropes around the necks of the
japanese and drove them away, warn
ing them not to come back, and also
terrorized Raafs wife, and, it is said,
shutting her up in the barn, he being
away from home When he came back
he expressed his Indignation at the
way in which his wife had been treated,
and the poisoning of his dog and de-
struction of some property followed.
1t is stated that he has also been
threatened with personal injury by the
members of the gang.
These things have resulted in de-
termination on the part Of the law
officers of the county to thoroughly in
Vestigate the matter and to show the
men who have been concerned in the
outrage that citizens are entitled to and
will receive protection from such treat
