Cornell Eager to Row Harvard,

Cornell is eager to row the Harvard Uni
versity eight at New London next summer,
the same week the latter rows Yale; but, as
beaten by her, she, of course wants her to
challenge. Harvard's eight this year was
very strong and fast, and only two, Messrs.
Bancroft and Schwartz. were graduated, and
one or both Of these may remain at one Of
tho professional schools. If this desire Of
Cornells seems foolhardy it must be re-
membered that she has n way Of being in
the front on race day. no matter what
the odds. What she would greatly prefer,
il there is water enough at New
London, and there is said to be, is to have
not only two. but four university eights in
a breast race for the four miles-namely,
those of Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Cor
nell. If this could be arranged the result
would be q magnificent contest, free from
all danger Of foul. as all the crews would be
coxswained, and instead Of only one race
there might actually be two or three sharp
fights oil going on at once. Columbia, with
her usual enterprise and pluck, would
doubtless jump at such q race, and IL Har-
ward would assent Yale would hardly hesi-
tate to do the same.
Cornell would also do this IL all the Others
preferred it. She would accept challenge
from Columbia to row ut New London either
the day before or after the Harvard Yale
race, or even on the same day, and then, If
she won, meet the winner OF the other con-
test in final heat the next day. The ex-
celient management of the New London
authorities this year is q good guarantee that
everything would be done to make SO brill
liant q meeting q thorough success. Now
let Harvard say the word.

The WEATHER.-The storm centre that passed
over the northern part of this State on wednes-
day is now over Nova Scotia, and is moving into
the ocean rapidly. The depression which yes
terday's HERALD reported in the West has de-
velopcd a storm centre of considerable energy
over tine Northern Missouri and Mississippi val
lcys The area Of high barometer that was over
the South Atlantic coast has extended itself
northward and now forms n barrier between
the two storm areas. Over the Gulf districts
the barometer is falling, particularly in
the western sections, aud there are indi-
cations OF the development Of another
disturbance in that region. Rain has
fallen in the lake regions, the central val-
lev districts and the South Atlantic and East
rrn Gulf States. In the latter districts the fall
has been unusually heavy. The winds have
been generally high in the West and North
west. brisk over the lakes and the New England
coast and fresh elsewhere. The temperature
has risen in all the sections except the Middle
Atlantic and New England States and some
parts Of the central valley districts, where it
has fallen decidedly. There has been but little
,hango throughout the yellow fever districts,
,ud there seems to be very little likelihood of
my cool weather for some time to come. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will be cool and cloudy or partly cloudy, posi-
bly, followed by increasing temperature and
rains. Tomorrow 1t will be warm and partly
cloud ~ With rains, followed by clearing weather.

HOW to stop Indi.a Outrsges.

A correspondent elsewhere calls atten-
tion to the grotesque revelations made In
recent dispatches from the Indian country.
It is reported thence in substance that it
will be difficult for the troops to catch the
Indians, as these are better mounted and
have more spare horses than the soldiers !;
but it is added that if the troops should be
unfortunate enough to outmarch and come
up with the savages it will probably be the
worse for them, because the Indians are
as we'll armed and are known to possess
fifty thousand rounds Of ammunition,
'given them for hunting purposes by the
Indian Agent at Fort Reno"
It would seem from these accounts that
the Indian Bureau still does its full duty
by the wards Of the nation" It has
armed and equipped them, and if they do
not whip" the United States troops the
fault will lie not with the Indian Bureau
but with the Indians themselves. Con-
sidering the way in which economy and
reform" have pared down the army and the
efficient manner in which the Indian
Bureau Is conducted, the border people are
inclined to bet on the Indians. .
How would it do to hand the Indians
over to the War Department We have
all heard how the barbarous West Point
officers would abuse them, and 80 forth !;
but it is safe to say that they would not
arm and equip them, and thus something
would be gained. We should no longer see
two departments of the federal government
engaged in open war with each other, and
shooting down each others adherents on
the Western Plains. If the Indian Bureau
were transferred to the War Department the
Indians. we may safely believe, would not
be better armed and equipped than the
soldiers and while TO the ''iriends Of the
Indians" this might look like foul play the
people at large, on the whole, we believe,
would like to see the army have at least a
fair chance.

Engiana and the Ameer.

Engiana and the Amser.
On the frontier of Afghanistan events have
not gone forward with the sort of rush that
moment to demand, though it is doubtful
whether they have not in fact gone forward
more rapidly than is consistent with the
preservation of the dignity of the Indian
government It was thought by some heed
less people, even in India it seems, that
by o rapid march of the forces of General
Ross the Khyber Pass could be occupied, and
that from the advantageous position of the
inner end of that pass the government might
take its time to consider and determine
upon further steps. But that military cal
culation has come to naught by the dis
covery that the Ameer has troops enough
in hand on the frontier to guarantee him
against any accident there. Beyond this, the
reflection that he can depend upon force
that as compared with England's Indian
army is not greatly inferior in point of
numbers and is greatly superior in point of
quality, has impressed upon the mind of
the government the fact that the success of
coup de main being unattainable, other
movements must be made only after mature
and complete preparation. It is possible
that while they are in this attentive attitude
on either side the discovery may be made
that the whole humiliation is the result Of .
piece of British arrogance or British stu
pidity. Dispatches were sent to the
Ameer with reference to the advance
of Sir Neville Chamberlain, and it
appears to have been assumed that the
Ameer's instructions would have been at
the frontier when Sir Neville arrived, but
they were not He followed the dispatches
SO closely that he was at the pass some days
earlier even than it would have been possi-
BILE for the officers there to be informed Of the
Ameer's will. Now, Sir Neville Chamber
lain went in the style of certain ancient
envoy, of whom it was said that his suite
was too large for an embassy and too small
for an army; and, as England's intention
with regard to Afghanistan is no secret.
admission was fatty refused. If the Ambas-
sador should now be eventually entertained
it may be thought the Ameer has yielded to
bravado; but the fact will be that he has
proceeded with more regularity than the
English.

Il riot to Rob the Pacifc Railroad Pay
n,asteJ at C,aajsa.
Omaha Special to Chicago Times
A detective connected with the police de-
partment of this city has unearthed a plot to
rob the office of the Union Pacific pavInas-
ter. 1t seems that, by pressing and threat.
ening notorious thief and penitentiary bird
named Harry Clayton with prosecution on
several different complaints, he made him
give up valuable information in his posses
sion. Clayton informed him that o plan had
been male up to go through the Union
Pacific paymaster's office; that tho men en-
gagged in the schemo were Tom Foster, X.
Smythe, Joe Bradley, Tom Pendergast, and
Henry Roe. The last named was IN The en-
ploy of the railroad company, and had
been gradually approached, and then taken
into the arrangement From Roe they had
learned in general way that a large amount
OF money was in the postmaster safe. Two
OF the gang, laboring under the impression
that they had secured tho combination Of the
the Office by unlocking the door, but failed
in opening the safe. Had they succeeded,
it is said they would have been rewarded
with $4,000. They then determined to
forcibly open the safe at the first favorable
opportunity, intending to procure tho SER
vices OF an expert from Chicago. Clayton
also informed the detective that, acting on
the information furnished by Roe, they had
once burglarized the Office OF tho Omaha
Elevator company, but got nothing, and at
tempted it q second time, when they thought
$1,000 were in the safe, but were scared
away by the watchman. Zoe, Pendegrast,
Smythe, and Foster have been arrested on
the charge of burglary of the elevator Office,
and Roe has confessed all. His confession
corroborates Clayton's statement, but he
charges Clayton with originating the con-
templated raid on the paymaster's dbice, and
also the elevator burglary. Clayton has dis
