POINTS ABOUT MR. YOUNG'S SCHEDULE Races at C. A. C. Bowiers Defeated at Bal- timore. ALBANY WHISTERS WIN At a conference Saturéay afternoon at the Reform Club in New York the ques- tions in regard to this year’s interuniversity boat races were finally and harmoniously settled. The idea of the quirtangular race was abandoned, while Cornell took upon herself the double task of rowing against Yale and Harvard and a week later against Columbia and the University of Pennsyl- vania. The representatives at the conference were Prof. B. I. Wheeler of Cornell, Capt. Goodrich of the Harvard crew, Thomas Reach of the University of Pennsyivania and F. 8. Bangs and Justus A. B. Cowles of Columbia. Capt. Goodrich presented a statement from the Harvard end of the matter to the effect that the five-cornered race could net be undertaken, inasmuch, as for Harvard to admit Columbia and Uni- versity of Pennsylvania would be a direct violation of her agreement with Yale. That, of course, settled the entire question, and the remaining business was merely in con- nection with the choosing of dates and other arrangements. Two sets of races, university and fresh- men, will be held at Poughkeepsie. Friday, June 25, was selected for the universliy race between Harvard, Yale and Cornell, though if the Harvard men wish it the date miay be changed to June 24. It was anyhow a@ very considerable concession on Har- vard’s part to entertain the idea of choosing June 25, for it is a class day at Cambridge. The freshmen’s race will be rowed Wednes- day, June 23. The university race between Cornell, Co- lumbia and the University of Pennsylvania will be decided Friday, July 2, and the freshmen’s race Wednesday, June 30. No written agreements were made, the ar- rangements being completed in merely ver- | bal term. The utmost harmony existed. Mr. F. S. Bangs of Columbia was chosen chairman of the regatta committee, and will proceed to take the initlatory steps to making arrangements at an early date. The arrangements with the government as to using the Poughkeepsie course on the dates selected are the same as those of last year. In reference to the big task that Cornell is undertaking, Prof. Wheeler said: “Yes, it is a short time between two such long races, but we can only try. We may be beaten, but we shall do our best, and there are other years. Everything went off most amicably today and the ideas finally adopt- ed seemed to suit every one.” Accerding to advices from Harvard, the athletic committee concluded that it would be an unwise move on their part to force the crew into an unpopular race. The ques tion whether Columbia and University of Pennsylvania should be admitted into a quintangular race was accordingly left to he crew, and it was virtually their decision that Cept. Goodrich announced. WILL NOT CUT THE RATE, Position on the Fight Taken by the Burlington, CHICAGO, February 22.—The Burlington route will not make any reduction in the rate to Carson, Nev., on account of the prize fight. This stand was taken today, utter a conference between the officials. Eustis, general passenger agent, said decision was arrived at because the officials of the Burlington concluded that @ prize fight was not an event which would justify them in making such a concession as a reduction in rate. Points About the Schedule. From the Baltimore Sun. A number of things have leaked out about the schedule, though President Young usually keeps it very close. As predicted weeks ago in the Sun, the regular season will begin on April 22. Boston will be the opening attraction in Baltimore. The sea- son in Boston, however, will begin on Con- cord day—a local holiday—April 19, with Philadelphia. The Orioles played in Bos- ton on Concord day last year to an im- mense crowd. There will be intersectional games until about May 1, when the west comes east and will stay until after Decoration day, May Baltimore and Washington will, however, go west on Decoration day, Wash- ington probably going to Pittsburg and Baltimore te Cincinnati or Chicago. The eastern clubs will be in the west in June, and will also close the season in the west, as in 1894, not as in ’95 and '96, when the season closed with the western clubs in the east. William Steinitz Dead. A dispatch from Paris says that Dr. Wil- liam Steinitz, the famous chess player, is dead at Moscow. Dr. Steinitz had been suffering from a mental disorder and was in the Morosoff private hospital at Mos- cow. He was born at Prague, Bohemtia, May 14, 1836, and early attained fame as a chess player. By his defeat of the late Prof. Andressen in 1866 he first won the match championship of the world. Since that time he had won and lost it several times. Last month he was defeated by Lasker, who won the championship. Albany Whisters Win Again. The Albeny Club, which had the honor of carrying the cup to the west, was the victor Saturday at Detroit with St. Paul in the contest for the American Whist League trophy. From the first hand in the afternoon until the last of the second and third at night the team from Albany had a comfortable majority of gains at the end of every third. The last third gave St. Paul a lead of one score, the only lead which it was able to get in the play. The regular St. Paul team is considered by whist experts to be the strongest in the country. The team which came to meet the gentlemen from Albany, however, was not the strongest combination of the St. Paul Club. St. Paul, 12; Albany, 24. Catholic Club Bowlers Win. The Columbia Athletic Club bowling team of this city was defeated three straight games by Catholic Club bowlers in Baltimore Saturday night. James E. Farrell of the Catholic Club made the high- est average, 182%. The teams were: Catholic Club—Lemkuhl, Curran, Wheeler, Farrell, Norman. Columbia Club—Jones, Stiles, Deyo, Coombs, Harman. The scores of the three anes were: 2 Catholic Club. Columbia A. C. Southern Lengue Reorganized. The Southeastern Base Ball League, con- sisting of Charleston, Augusta, Atlanta, Macon, Savannah and Columbus, has been reorganized. Judge J. G. Bloodworth of Atlanta was elected president and a sched- ule committee appointed to draft schedule and report at meeting to be held March 1. President Powers of the Southern League made overtures for an amalgamation of the Southeastern and the Southern, but ‘was “turned down.” Te Leave the L. A. W. BUTTE, Mont., February’ 22.—Bioycle men of Butte and other points in Mon- tana ere determined to join with Colorado and other far western states in secession frcm the League of American Wheelmen. A meeting will be held tonight in this city to form a Montana branch of a new or- ganization. The cause of secession is the refusal of the older body to allow division- al option as to Sunday racing. Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, ‘Washington, n, fornia, Arizona and New Mexico ure expected to join the new league. Chairman Bell Wii Prevent the Sale of Any but the Authorized Copies. BROOKLYN 10 SEND A BATTALION The Oriole Stafe Will Be Finely Represented.iin the Parade. NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST Chairman Bell has received information that several persons other than those duly accredited to do the work are contempiat- ing issuing “‘official” programs of the in- augural ceremonies. “I wish you would announce in The Evening Star as positively as possible,” said Mr. Bell to The Star reporter this morning, “that the only official program of the inaugural ceremonies will be issued by the Brett Lithographing Company of New York, which paid handsomely for the privilege. We shall most certainly protect the company in its rights, and will prevent the sale of any other publication which pur- ports to be an official program, no matter who may Issue it, because it will be issued under false pretenses and be a fraud on the face of it. The adornment of the correct and authorized official program has been copyrighted, and if that {s not sufficient to protect it and its publishers, means will be taken to do so. Of that the public and the parties who are sald to be contemplating publications such as I allude to may rest assured.” Private Secretary Porter. Mr. J. Addison Porter, who will be pri- vate secretary to President McKinley, was a visitor at inaugural headquarters this morning, where he consulted with Chair- man Bell and Secretaries Brackett and Walker over the inaugural arrangements, and particularly those affecting the par- ticipation of the President-elect and his party. After the conference was conclud- ed Mr. Bell introduced Mr. Porter to sev- eral members of the executive committee, the press and visitors who happened to be present. The Star reporter assured Mr. Porter he would not ask him for an in- terview, and Mr. Porter expressed appre- ciation. He said he hoped newspaper men would never put him in quotation marks even when he reached the interviewable stage, because they could report him so much stronger and better without using the inverted tadpoles that indicate. verbatim reproduction of another's conversation. Mr. Porter is of very pleasant manner, and, like most other newspaper men, good looking. He wears a mustache and _ his forehead is broad and high. His fine dark eyes are assisted by glasses. He is highly spoken of by all his friends as a man of affable disposition, excellent executive abil- ity and a never-tiring capacity for work. A Battalion From Brooklyn. A provisional battalion of the New York National Guard of Brooklyn will partici- pate in the inauguration. It will consist of one company from each Brooklyn regi- ment—the 13th, 14th, 234 and 47th, 225 men and twenty-five officers. The command will leave Brooklyn the night of March 2, and arrive in Baltimore March 3, and be the guests of the Maryland 5th Regiment. The battalion will escort the 5th to the depot March 3 at night and return to the “arrolton Hotel, where it will remain until rning and then come to Washington, reaching here at an early hour. The active Hook and Ladder Company of Cobbleskill, Schoharie county, N.Y., has. applied for a position in line for twenty-six men, under command of P. S. Clark and C. K. Frazier. The men will wéar white Prince Albert coats, blue trousers, nickel helmets, with plumes. _ The New York Seventy-First. Adjt. William G. Bates, Quartermaster John Kensett Olyphant and Commissary John Kennedy Tod. ef,.the Tist Regiment, who are arranging all the details in con- nection with the regiment's taking part in the inauguration ceremonies, are here to perfect certain details. The regiment will assemble at its armory about 9 o'clock on the evening of March 3, and will take train via foot of Liberty street at 11 o'clock. Upon arrival at Washington, on the morn- ing of March 4, it will be escorted by local military to the armory of Washington Light Infantry, which will be the regiment's headquarters. Following the parade the members will have the time to themselves to visit points of interest until 3:30 o'clock p-m. of March 5, at which time the regi- ment will assemble to make the return trip. The regiment is due in New York at 11 o'clock in the evening of Friday, March 5. The colonel commanding the 71st is well and favorably known in Washington,where he was on duty in connection with the en- gineer’s office of the District government for several years as Capt. Francis V. Greene of the United States army. He re- signed to undertake private business in New York, in which he has been signally successful. The Lengue of Republican Clubs. While the Maryland division of the League of Republican Clubs seems to have gone ahead with inaugural arrangements, nothing has been heard from President D. D. Woodmansee, the head of the entire league, about the representation from other states. Several weeks ago, when Mr. Woodmansee first came to Washington re- garding the league's participation in the parade, he declared it would have 15,0v0 men In line, and it was- decided to have them in a separate. division of the civic grand division, with President Woodmansee as marshal. He was authorized to appoint fifty aids. Since then little has been heard from him, until a letter, under date of February 17, was received from him saying that he would be in Washington February 25, and surposed that would be soon enough to assign clubs to their positions. Chairman Warner of the civic committee wrote him Saturday night that February 28 would be entirely too late, and notified him to telegraph as early as possible Monday (today) the number of clubs the league would have, their names, etc., or otherwise they would not be included in the general orders announcing the formation of the parade. ‘The probabilities are that owing to the delay on President Woodmansee's part there will be no separate division allotted to the league, but that political clubs be- longing to it will march with other organi- zations, according to states. President Woodmansee said when here that there were 8,000 clubs belonging to the league, but as only fifty-six civic or- ganizations have so far notified the com- mittee of their intentign to participate in the parade, and nof more than twenty of these, at the outside, belong to the league, the inaugural autkprities are inclined to think that Mr. Wogdmansee’s figures were a little too large. : Inaugural Sigzgestions. A correspondent: of +The Star writes: “Why not have patriotje airs played on the chime bells of the ME. Church, corner of 4% and C streets, for one hour, from 12 o'clock, on day ipauguration?” of Another Snetaey drops into verse, as follows: Major McKinley, allo tion (lo bo sare, 1 many sate EO aeonteduestion): On the 4th-of March next, ‘Bheak the record in that, * Aud wear your bat, It is not the custom, ou will say. © bother the custom {y thid-senulble day.

Regrets, Congratulations and Prayers In a recent letter to Chairman B. H. Warner of the civic committeee, announc- ing that the McKinley and Hobart Colored Republican Club of Annapolis, Md., would not attend the inauguration, President Richard E. King writes as follows: “The McKinley and Hobart Colored Re- publican Club of Annapolis, Md., has with many regrets recently decided by a major- ity vote that the club was pec! un- able to attend in a body the inauguration on March 4, 1807. Also the club. has by a unanimous vote congratulated the exée tive, committee sn obarge of the inangu- hloeke’s Big Inaugural Sale. We shall begin tomorrow morning a special sale of just such things as will be brought into household use during the sojourn of the inaugural visitors as your guests. The best compliment that can be paid the values is to say they do Hoeke’s reputation credit. The most tempting thing that can be said of the prices at which we shall quote these specials is to say that they are lower than any previous offering we have made—lower than Hoeke’s usual low prices.

Maryland will make a splendid showing in the inaugural parade. It is probable that the total strength of the Maryland brigade will reach 1,800 or 1,900, officers and men. Gen. Lawrason Riggs, brigadiér general of the Maryland brigade, will be in command. The brigade will consist of the 4th Regiment, Col. Willard Howard; 5th Regiment, Col. Frank Markoe; Ist Regi- ment, Col. William P. Lane; Maryland Naval Battalion, Commander Isaac E. Emerson, and the ist Separate Company (colored), Capt. Wm. Spencer. Most of the troops, especially the 4th and Sth Regi- ments, will come to Washington on the night of March 3 in order to give the men a good night’s rest, so that they will be in condition for the long march of the next day. Gen. Riggs, accompanied by the bri- gade staff, will also cme over the night be- fore. Gov. Lowndes and staff will ride at the head of the Marylanders. The Baltimore Sun today says arrange- ments for the great majority of the politi- cal clubs will be made by the officers of the league of republican clubs of Mary- land to which they belong. Congressman W. S. Booze, the president of the league, will make preparations for looking after the comfort of the men while at the capital. The league clubs have been separated by congrcssional districts, each district to form one division, with a marshal and his alds. The several divisions will proceed to Washington in any man- ner they may determine, but the entire league will be mobilized east of the Capi- tol building. Arrangements for Coming. The clubs of the third and fourth con- gressional districts will leave by the Balti- more and Ohio railroad between 7 and 8 o’clock on the morning of March 4. Pas- senger coaches to carry them will be run upon the Eutaw street side of Camden sta- tion, and as fast as a train Is filled it will be started out. The league will wear no distinct uniform, but the various clubs represented will wear some distinguishing dress. Every league member will, how- ever, be expected to wear as a boutonniere a McKinley button, to which will be at- t@:hed two small ribbons—one orange and the other black—the Maryland colors. The Young Men’s Republican Club will hold the right of line and will head the league in the parade. Its officers have made arrargements for individual head- quarters while in Washington. In these headquarters the club will entertain its members and their friends. The Colum- bian Club, which is also a member of the league, but is mainly composed of follow- ers of W. T. Malster, will attend the in- augural ceremenies, but will not take part in the parade. It has also secured head- quarters in Washington, at which it will entertain the 400 persons whom It expects to carry from Baltimore. The fifth division of the league, made up of clubs from the fifth congressional dis- trict, will be one of the largest and most intercsting divisions in the line. Capt. Wm. M. Potter the marshal, has organized a troop of mounted men for the parade. All the horsemen will be dressed alike and the bridle and saddle mountings will be similar. President Booze of the league will ap- point the executive committee as his spe- cial aids, thereby giving himself a personal staff of fifteen. All of them, as well as the division marshals and aids, will be mount- ed and wear high hats, dark clothes and sashes of orange and black. The demand for horses for the parade has about ex- hausted the supply in Washington, and horses for the use of the league officers will be sent over from Baltimore on March 8, 80 as to be fresh for use the following day. ‘The president aud staff and each division of the league's line will be assigned a spe- cial band of music, while a majority of the clubs will carry their own bands of music. Vice President Hobart’s State. The action of the New Jersey senate in Gefeating the bill to apprépriate funds for sending the 2d Regiment of Paterson, the Essex Troop and the Camden Gatling Gun Company to Washington is the chief topic of discussion in the New Jersey National Guard, and has occasioned considerable ad- verse comment. It is learned from a most responsible and reliable source that a mo- tion will be made in the senate tomorrow to reconsider the vote, with probably an amendment increasing the appropriation to $10,000, or tkat a new bill will be intro- duced. Pennsylvania Troops May Come. The Philadelphia Press this morning states that the question as to whether the Pennsylvania National Guard will come to the inauguration is still an open one. There appears to be a very decided difference of opinicn between Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart and General George R. Snowden. Gen. Stewart has announced positively that “not one single soldier of the guard will be in line in Washington on March 4." Gen- eral Snowden, on the other hand, said to a Press reporier last night: “If the adjutant general speaks with the autherity of the governor of the state as his guide, his announcement would seem to be conclusive; but I have reason to believe that ro official announcement has been authorized. I also know that the inaugu- ral committee at Washington want to see the Pennsylvania National Guard repre- sented in the line, and that they are still moving heaven and earth to bring it about. I am incjined to belfeve, also, that trans- portation for at least 1,500 men can be pro- vided.” ~ In regard to the advisabilty of having a detail made in this connection from all parts of the state, General Snowden said it was done at the time.of the Yorktown cele- bration, in 1881, and he-saw no reason why it could not be done now. Governor Hast- irgs and General Snowden will meet, and it is expected that some offi decision will then be promulgated. Public Building Illumination. The executive committee meeting Satur- day night was well attended, and a number of interesting reports were made, It was announced that the State, War and Navy Department building will be handsomely decorated at government expense, but the electric current for illumination must be Flags for decoration, Bedding, Comferts, and all the things you will need. HOEKE, Furniture, Carpets, Draperies, Ave, and tol building, the White House and other | auguration ceremonies, but those who will bulidings within range, and an tmmense garrison flag, floated from the roof, will also be lighted up at intervals. Four garrison flags will be hung from the windows at the apex of the Washington monument, and the effect when the search- lights are ‘thrown will be sublime. The Agricultural Department _ building and grounds will be decorated and illumi- nated, and the National Museum and Smithsonian Institution and grounds also illuminatec. The bureau of engraving and printing will be beautifully decorated by the employes. The Treasury, Interior and Post Office officials will decorate and illu- minate their buildings, and the full power of gas and electricity in the Capitol bulld- ing will be used the night of March 4. Chairman John B. Wight of the public order committee made a report that all street car compantes had been requested to operate their systems all night, and that President Harries had said the Me- tropolitan Company would run all night March 2, 3, 4 and 5, if certain mechanical appliances could be secured, but would, in any event, run until 3 a.m. each morning, 8th St. | by John Treanor and the m price — Special —— $50.

The line of the parade has been definitely decided on, and the Norris Peters Litho- graphing Company is engaged in making the map.

The United States troops will form, as before, on Ist street northeast,facing the Capitol grounds, and the streets and avenues running east from the park will be devoted to the miil- tia of the various states. The civic division will form on the streets and avenues norti and south of the Capitol grounds.
