out waiting for Cornell 1t was decided 10 fre tue
signal gun again and get all the crews IN line as
soon as possible. The gun was fired again
and one of the steamers was sent to tow cornell
boat This made more DELAY, and at 7:3O the referee
said the race must be postponed or there woud hot
be light enough to it. This declaration raiseu
great excitement. The Harvard men were very
vehement i'm urging that the race be rowed without
another pOstpOnement.
Columbia backed them, aaud some other captains
begged that the race be rOwed if POSSIBLE Comlno-
kOre Brady exclaimed that another delay would
ruin the reputation of the Saratoga course" Thirty
thousand people, he said, had out on two days,
and they must not be disappointed again. III the
crews could not be got in line, he would
start them at any rate. The referee yielded
and promised to start the crews II there
was light enough when they were ready to
race, but the starters were not in their boats ana
there was good deal of delay in getting the boats
out The Dartmouth crew got in their boat at 49,
Harvard followed a few minutes after and shot
away to the line at racing pace pulling smoothly
and with power. Just before them Williams went
pulling puckily but in a ragged style, No.
9 being often out Of time. At - minutes
to g. the Princeton crew got away. rowing
swiftly and with an imperfect stroke. catching the
water loosely but keeping fair time, except No. D.
Four minutes after Columbia pulled swiftly to the
start The boat went along at rafting rate. ana
the stroke was dashng and well kept Cornell fol-
lowed with a strong pull pretty evenly followed,
but with faults in the recovers. Meanwhile Yale,
Wesleyan, and Trinity had taken to the
water, and were pulling for their places.
At o'clock the nine crews were
drawing up to line, all expecting the
signal, although it was so dark that it was inn
possible to tell one crew from another at moderate
distance. When the referee declared the race
postponed. and as the crews were coming easily mp
the lake to get out of their boats his steamer came
up among them and he called out in stentoran
tones: " declare this set for 10 o'clock to-mOr-
row morning and require all the crews to be here
at that time to row it. The captains may take what
action they like; require the crews to be ready to
start at that time" This decision suited
majority of the crews. Harvard, Columbia, Cornell
Princeton and Williams declared they would not
object to It, though some of the captains claim that
they and not the referee have the right by the AS
sociation rules to fix the time of racing. This is
the view also of part of the Regatta Committee
but they will not interfere with Mr. Woods de-
cison. Harvard, Cornell Trinity, and Princeton
left their boats for the night at the Columbia boat
house, and the crews quickly dispersed, still COM
planning that the race had not been rowed before.

THE SAFE BURGLARY INVESTIGATION.

THE SAFE BURGLARY INVESTIGATION.
SOLICITOR WILSON'S REPORT NEARLY READY-DE-
TFCIIVEs WHITLEY AND NETTLEsHIP EXONER-
ATED-THE SECRET SERVICE BUREAU SHOWN TO
BE UNNECEssARY-FUR DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE CASE EXPECTED.
WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE Solicitor of the Treas
ury has nearly finished bis investigation into the
District safe burglary and his report to the Secre
tary will be closed within day or two. Its scope
as well as its conclusions are already determined,
and II only requires the following of one two new
Developments 10 close the case The Solicitors duty
in the case was to learn if the Secret Service Bureau
Of the Treasury was concerned III the conspiracy to
rob the safe Of the District-Attoey in order to i'm
plicate Columbus Alexander in the crime, but
while this has been the main object of Solicitor
Wilson. he Las extended his duties far TO
inquire generally into the efficiency and value 10
the Department and the Government of the Bureau
Itself III has found to his satisfaction that neither
Col Whitley nor Netteship his assistant, was
fonnectcd with the burglary. and has stated, en-
phatically, in his report. As to the completely Of
Others. whose names have been mentioned. the
Solicitor has nothing to do and their cases are still
before the Grand jury.
What the Solicitor has found however. is that the
Secret Service Bureau has been managed with an
almost criminal prodiGatty and extravaganza, and
that the advantages u the Government are not
equal TO the expenditures The Solicitor therefore
recommends that the whole system as organized
be abolished and the whole machinery of its work
lug swept away. To this end he recommends that
the whole force of spies and detectives be dis
charged; that the office in New-York be closed ;
that the records books, and papers be sent TO Wash
lngton. and the accounts audited and examined.
Ire solicitor has not yet determined in his own
mind what he will recommend in place Of the present
system. A plan of giving rewards has been consid-
cred to be under the direction and supervision of
L. ;. attorneys and maTshalS. The adoption of a
system, however rests entirely with the Secretary.
who must decide as to the continuance of that now
in vogue. From Secretary Bristow's wel-knowu
opposition 10 the multiplication OF unauthorized and
Illegal divisions aud bureaus il seems probable
that be viii be very willing to dispense with the
present organization of detectives. if il can be done
10 advantage. 1t is known that Solicitor Wilson has
obtained information to-day regarding the burglary
and the detectives and he left for New-YOrk to-
night. Whether he may obtain anything that will
change his opinions of Whitley and Nettlesbip can
Only be argued when he returns.
