Washington, Dec. THE first note
Of the anti-cXpansionists was sounded
in the senate by Senator Vest Of Mis-

resolution:
That under the constitution Of the
United States no power is given to the
federal government to acquire territory
10 be held and governed permanently
as colonies. The colonial system OF
European nations cannot be estab-
lished under our present constitution;
but all territory acquired by the gov
eminent, except such small amount as
may be necessary for coaling stations,
correction OF boundaries and similar
governmental purposes must be ac-
quired and governed with the purpose
Of ultimately organizing such terri
tories into states suitable for admis-
sion into the Union

Washington. Dec 6. - The opening

Guiding many representatives OF for

social and political life. The greetings
Of the members were most cordial and
there was no outcroppinx Of partisan
rancor to mar the occasion. One Of the
most striking incidents was the cor
dial meeting between the door leaders
Of the respective sides, Messrs. Ding

about the possibility OF Mr.. Bailey be-

The House.
Washington. Dee. 9-The urgent de-
ficiency bill 10 provide for the support
OF the military and naval establish
ments was passed by the house prac-
tically without opposition. A fear had
been expressed that the measure might
open up a prolonged debate upon the
conduct of the war, but the Democrat
ic leaders decided that such debate
would properly come later upon the
regular appropriation bills or upon the
bill for the reorganization OF the army.
There was not a word OF criticism of
the war during the debate. The only
point upon which an issue was rntSed
was as 10 whether the bin, providing
as it did. for the pay OF volunteers un-
ill July /. 1899, might not be construed
as modification OF the law under
which the volunteers were mustered
into service. Mr.. AeR2e OF Arkansas
offered an amendment providing that
1t Should not be so construed. and upon
ii there was a general debate as To the
ACCESSIBILITY Of mastering the Vosun-
tCerS out before the regular army was
increased. Mr.. Cannon finally accept
ed the McRae anne Rdmsnt and removed
the only shadow OF opposition ~ the
bill. A number OF amendments were
adopted upon the recommendation OF
the appropriation committee, which re
ceiyCd some supplemental estimates
after the bill was prepared. The hrs-

PARK BICYCLE MEET.
Schade Establishes "A Record for
Paced Mile ON New TrucIs

The inaugural bicycle race meet of The
season was held yesterday afternoon at
international Park. There have been
many improvements made at this popular
resort, the most notable being the build
ing of an entire new track of wood.
Similar tracks are in use in every big
city in America, and have been found 10
be much better adapted to bicycle racing
than any other kind. AT the meet yester-
day the utility of the structure was de-
monstrated in n very emphatic way.
After the first two events had been run
off terrific rainstorm came up, soaking
everything that was not under cover, the
new track included. An ordinary turf
track would have been covered with mud
and racing rendered impossible. Fifteen
minutes after the rain had ceased falling
racing was resumed.
The races were all of the best order,
almost every finish being close. In the
final of the two-mile handicap the first
four men were so punched that 1t was
hard to tell who had won

FOUGHT TO A DRAW.
Boys Battle Under the Shadows of
the Peace Monument

For over seventy minutes shortly before
o'clock last night, the absence of al.
signs of policeman permitted two boys
to fight uninterruptedly within the very
shadow of the peace monument. The
lads were about fourteen years of age
and an even match, and they attacked
each other fast and furious in true Fitz-
simmons-Corbett style. The friends of
the combatants acted as seconds on the
respective sides, while a large crowd of
spectators. including some women, oc-
cupied the outer circle and followed the
fight with intense interest.
One was an American lad named Nor
man, who lived on Capitol HILL and the
other was the son of foreign parents,
whom his opponents repeatedly called
''the Spaniard,' as he landed a blow on
his face or body. When the combatants
had chased each other all around the
monument and had dealt hundred or
more blows apiece and were badly pun.

DR.. Schele, as he was familiarly known

languages in the University of Virginia
about 1843, which he occupied until about

ments as an educator, his work in the
field of philology, especially its growth
and origin. was most original and in ad-
vance of similar work done elsewhere. He
was the author of a number of historical
romances. During his whole life he was
a constant contributor to reviews and en-
cyclopedias.
