TOYED WITH VISITORS
INDIANAPOLIS EASILY WON GAME
WITH RACINE TEAM.
and Rested i'm the Third-ElwOOd
Defeated Anderson.

One period of the polo game between In
dianapolis and Racine last night at the
Cyclorama rink was interesting. The other
two periods furnished little excitement, as
indianapolis was so far in the lead that
the home players simply toyed with the
visitors and ran up score of IL to 5 in
favor of Indianapolis. In the first session
of the game Indianapolis scored four
straight goals, but the Racine players gave
them hard fight throughout the fifteen
minutes of play. With the lead of four
points Indianapolis added five in the sec
ond period while Racine made only one
point. The third period furnished some
practice for the indianapolis players, and
they did not try to increase their score
until Racine had scored four points.
Captain Hipson and his men are making
strong fight to again occupy first place
in the race. They are playing the kind of
polo that is sure to win. The team work
of the locals was excellent, while the de-
fensve play of Coggshall, Way and Berry
was superb In the first two periods they
allowed Racine to score one point, and no
doubt could have prevented the visitors
from scoring in the third period had the
score been close.
Hipson and Gavitt scored the points for
Indianapolis. Their driving was accurate
and they made a target of Sutherland, the
Racine goal tender. Eleven of the drives
and hooks got by him. while he stopped
thirty-six of the efforts made TO score
points. They worked many trick plays,
and the speed displayed by Hipson through
out the game was the feature.
Ed Mooney, late of the Anderson team.
was on the rush line for the Racine team
He secured the first rush. but Captain Hip
son had little trouble in caging the ball
after a brilliant exhibition of fast skating
Mooney also secured the second rush, and
Hipson was again successful in driving the
ball by Sutherland. Gavitt scored the other
two goals credited to Indianapolis in the
first period.
Racine's first goal was made in the early
part of the second period, Mooney caging
the ball i'm 2:01. Hipson scored the next
goal in fifty-seven seconds and then made
one of the brilliant plays of the game after
Mooney secured the rush by driving the
ball into the Racine cage in five seconds.
| The rest of the period was all In Indianap-
oliss favor three goals being added to the
home teams score.
Indianapolis took matters easy In the
last period. and after Gavitt scored the
| first goal Mooney was allowed to cage
| three goals for Racine. Gavitt scored again
! and Devlin made the last point in the game.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Secretary Hay
and Sir Michael Herbert to-day exchanged
notifications of the Alaskan boundary
treaty. The preparation of the cases Of
the two sides will proceed with all speed.
as under the treaty they must be submitted
to the arbitrator within sixty days. 1t
will require the greatest effort on the part
of the United States government TO have
its case ready within the appointed time.
The United States government has come
into possession in recent years of a vast
amount of data touching this controversy.
which, to be of use. must be thoroughly
studied. Secretary Hay has placed this
work on the shoulders of ex-Secretary
John w. Foster, who is assisted by Mr..
Lansing, who became familiar with Alask-
an matters through his connection with the
Boring sea arbitration.
Now that the ratifications have been ex-
changed it is understood the personnel of
the American commissioners will be for
mally announced. 1t is already known un-
officially that they will be Secretary Root.
Senator Lodge and Senator Turner.

Krag-Jorgensens for Militia.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-General Gro
zier. chief of ordnance. has made prelim-
mary arrangements for arming the entire
organized militia of the United States with
the Krag-Jorgensen musket of the regular
service in accordance with the provisions
of the new militia law. He already has
collected about $4,000 of these arms at the
government arsenals at Augusta, Ca;
Benecia, Cal: Rock Island, H., and San
Antonio. Tex. and more will be shipped to
those points from the armory at Spring
field, Mass, as needed. Nearly 5000 Krag-
Jorgensens have been sent to the arsenal at
Rock Island, a larger number than was
sent to any other point, Rock Island being
the central distributing point for almost the
entire middle West. These arms will re-
place the Springfield muskets which are
to be returned to the government.
According to the latest returns received
by Adjutant General Corgin, the organized
strength of the militia is lis. 749, but the i'm
preston prevails at the War Department
that the $1,000 Krag-Jorgensens already col
lected at the arsenals named will be suffi-
cient to meet all demands for several
months to come.

MEETING OF THE CABINET.


WASHINGTON, March 3-President
Roosevelt and his Cabinet were in session
to-day for nearly two hours. The status
of the Panama canal negotiations was the
most important subject discussed. Attor-
ney General Knox reported to the Cabinet
that he had received from Attorney Nelson
w. Cromwell, the American representative
of the Panama Canal Company. an accept
ance of the proposition he, on behalf of the
United States. recently had made to the
canal company to keep alive the option held
by this government on the companys prop
erty. The answer is regarded as entirely
satisfactory. 1t keeps alive the option now
held by the United States on the canal
company's property; and. as stated by. the
and fast. and II matters not whether the
treaty pending in the Senate be ratified be-
gress or afterwards. Both the President
and the members of the Cabinet received
the information with expressions of salts
faction. Secretary Hay announced the ex-
change Of Publications of the Alaskan
boundary treaty. which Vas concluded to-
day. The Cabinet spent some time i'm a
discussion of the legislative situation in
aiIupng h Of mas the the
all the bis supply bills now pending, but
the probability at IT., this time is that the
Ill.
the administration, will fail.
Later in the day Mr.. Cromwell made the
following statement: ut gives me sa it's
faction to confirm the fact that after the
fullest exchange OF views | have reached
complete understanding with the attorney
general upon the points involved I'm the
contract for the purchase by the United
States of the Panama canal and properties
/ have therefore to-day, under the full now
ers and discretion with which the COMPANY
vested me. reached satisfactory under
standing with the government upon all
points and have signed and delivered the
documents which make the contract COM
plete and binding upon the government and
the canal company. This action absolutely
assures to the United States the acquisition
and completion of the Panama canal as
rest Is only matter of detail and of time
The only delay now I'm the taking of actual
possession by the United States arises from
the necessary formalities of ratification of
the pending treaty by the United States and
Colombia but In the meantime the COM
pany will continue the work OF construction
upon the isthmus In accordance with the
plans of the fsthmian canal commission
and keep the working forces In steady
operation up to the time that the United
States takes actual charge. Action In the
United States IL assured by the converting
OF the Senate in extra session. II the ex-
ira session had not been called, as has been
so wisely done by the President, am con-
WINGED that the United States would have
lost the opportunity of securing the ex-
elusive control OF q ship canal connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. AS to
