SECOND RAGE MEET
 AT COLISEUM TRACK
A Large Crowd Witnessed Some
 Splendid Sport.
PURSUIT RACE A FEATURE
Watermelon Race by Little Negroes the Amusing Event-Fast Time in All Finals-New Talent for
 Tonight.

The third race of the Birmingham Cycle association was pulled off in great style last night large crowd witnessed some fine sport. Fast time was made in all the finals. Even the novice race was run in 2:2O. The riders played for time in the heats and this naturally made them a lit- tie slow.
 Possibly the most interesting race of the night was the Australian pursuit between the Roberts brothers on tandem and Ped Hickman and T. J. Strickland on single wheels. The object of the race was for either the tandem or the single wheel riders to overtake the other. The tandem was started from one side of the track and Hickman and Strickland the other. They kept the tracks length between them for some time, but the tandem was trifie too strong for the single wheels and overlook them after running a little over mle
 The amusing feature of the nights sport was a watermelon race between ten or twelve little negroes. A large watermelon was laid on the tape, and the boy who got there first and picked up the melon after running one-eighth of a mile was declared the bona fide owner of said watermelon. The smallest pickaninies were given a nam dicap of ten feet. This did them no good, however as one of the boys who started from the scratch kept the inside track and won out. He didn't stop to pick up the melon, but fell on it.
 Eugene Jones was the winner, and the last seen of him he was making his way across the back of the track, followed by the other sprinters, all clamoring for a slice.
 mil novice Rice Chrisenberry, Gardina and Harris qualified in the heats and ran the final.
 A fast clip was maintained and Harris crossed the tape first in 2:2O. with Chrlsen- berryy second and Gardna third.
 The qualified riders for the final in the 2:2o class amateur were Spencer, Hawkins, liar ris and Geis.
 On the 18th lap Geis tried to run ahead of the tandem but failed. He soon dropped be- hind and quit the track. Spencer ana Hawkins were then nip and tuck for the lead On the fifteenth lap Spencer spurteo ahead and came in first He thought 1t was the sixteenth lap and stopped his speed; Hawkins ran by him and won the race Spencer saw his mistake in time to finish second. Time, 4:2l 3-5.
 The last regular race was the one-mile open amateur. Perkins, Roberts, Harris and Spencer were started.
 The time made was 2:15. Roberts first, Perkins second and Spencer third.
 Ped Hickman ran a half-mile exhioition' or he was supposed to run half. A mis- take was made in some way an dhe and the tandem both stopped after the third lap.
 The tandem was ridden by Joe Riddle and Jack Cooper. The fact that the half-mile was not ridden was greatly regretted as some schorching time was being made. One lap, an eighth of mile, was made in A seconds.
 President Warren said after the last race last night that he would have some new talent on the track tonight, and the crowd could look for some swift riding.

CASE OF MRS. RICH.
Mexican Government Does Not Want to
 Give Her Up

Washington, June M.-The Mexican gov- ernment has designated a commissioner to present the extradtion case against Mrs. Rich, now held in Texas, on the charge of having killed her husband in Mexico. The case is of unusual interest, as 1t is tine first under the new extradition treaty between this country and Mexico and because of the peculiar circumstances of the alleged crime
 In some respects the case is like that of Mrs. Maybrick, as Mrs. Rich is an American woman chaged with killing her husband in a foreign country. For this reason the American officials are loath to surrender Mrs. Rich until the case against her is well established, as her eXtradition would mean a foreign trial and punish ment. On the other hand the Mexican authorities hold that the crime will go unpunished unless the accused Is surren- dered to Mexico, as the American courts would not have jurisdiction over a crime committed abroad. The Mexican authori- ties have been allowed until the 27th in- stant to make out their case before the court at Fl Paso, where the accused is held. The papers will then be forwarded here for final consideration Under the treaty the president has discretion to grant the extradition or refuse it without refer ence to the hearing.

Decision in Regard to TanuS De-
 cIared Valid.
MATAAFA GIVES UP RIFLES
Heavy Penalty Will be Enforced On All Natives Found With Arms-The Country Around Apia Resum-
 ing Normal Conditions

Apia, June II, via Auckland, June 2.- Mataafa has surrendered 1,650 rifles and the loyalists have given up 2,OOO After June 20 a heavy penalty will be enforced upon natives found with rifles in their possession Mataafa promises to turn in more weapons.
 The natives have returned to their homes. Malietoa Tanus was recognized as king by the commissioners of the three powers, and the decision of Chief Justice Chambers in the matter of the kingship was proclaimed valid and binding. Malietoa Tanus then abdicated in favor of the commissioners, who appointed a provisional government consisting of the consuls of the three powers, empowering a majority to act in all questions arising over the government. Chief Justice Chambers continues to hold office, and the various municipal officials are confirmed. Dr. Wilhelm Self has been authorized to act as president of the mu- nicipality of Apa.
 The commissioners expect to leave on June 2S, but they have requested Chief Jus tice Chambers to remain. Their report recommends the abolition of the kinsship and the presidency of Apia and the ap- pointment of governor with legislative council consisting of three nominees Of the interested powers assisted by a native house.
 The British cruiser Porpoise, Captain Sturdee, left via Fiji on June S. Apia and the country around are resuming normal conditions.

MEIKLEJOHN AT WORK.

II will oppeal to the country's sense OF humor
this concluding chapter in the history OF the
Dodge Investigating Commission. The reader
will no doubt recall the fact that this Commits
sion was created by the President Mt the urgent
solicitation Of the Secretary OF War. People
had been casting aspersions upon the Depart
ment's conduct of the war with Spain. The Pres
ident received letters all through the summer
loaded with complaints against the Commissary-
General. the Quartermaster-Gene and the Sur
geon- General There were tales OF needless SUI
fernc of callous cruelty, of official imbecity,
of general Encouragement in every direction.
These appeared In the newspapers, were show
cred upon the President, upon General Alger
and upon members Of both houses Of Congress-
until the Administration found the pressure
intolerable Then it was that the Secretary of
War asked the President for an investigation,
and soon afterward the President appointed the
Commission. of which General g. NJ. Dodge OF
this CITY, was the presiding officer. 1t was
purelv civil body. It's sole alleged purpose was
to INQUIRE into and pronounce upon the conduct
of the War Department. To connect IL IN any

And yet we arc now amiably informed that
as the result of an order issued by Mr.. Meikle-
John Of Nebraska. the Assistant Secretary OF
War the publication of the Commissions re-
