The Railroad Cnnterence-NeW Rates
Adopted.

SARATOGA, Aug. 23.-The railroad confer
ence met at IL O'Clock to-day. 1t was agreed
to advance East bound freight rates from all
Western points on the basis Of thirty-five
cents from Chicago on grain and -four. Rates
we're also increased five cents per hundred
pounds on all fourth class freight The divi-
sion OF live stock freights from st. Louis was
agreed to be settled by arbitration. It was
determined to discontinue the practice of re-
turn passes for attendants of stock shipments,
commencing from September 1. The passen-
ger rates East from st. Louis, on which there
has been SO much cutting, were restored to
the regular schedule figures.
The reformation Of the passenger commits
sion abuse will save the roads S3,000,O0O per
annum. The enormous amount has not been
paid for business. but simply for neutrality.
The advance in freight rates does not quite
bring them up to those obtained last year.
Over twenty controlling roads are repre-
sented, including all lines east from st. Louis
and Chicago, all trunk lines, and the most
important New England roads. The whole
conference has been very harmonious, every
body. showing spirit of concession and a dis
position to obtain fair rates without oppress-
ing the public. 1t will probably continue it's
sessions for two or three DAYS.

The Red Cloud and spotted Tail Sioux
Report of the Indian COmmas sion.

:, WASHINGTON, Aug; 23;-Gen; D. S. Stanley,
Riggs and Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Hoyt, the Sioux commission, had o confer
ence with the President this morning. Major
Obierne, who accompanied the commission
West as correspondent, was also present. A
general conversation was had about the re-
moval of the Spotted Tail and Red Cloud In
dians, and the members of the commission
gave the President general outline Of the
pal recommendation OF this report will be
that the Red Cloud Indians be removed to
White Clay creek and Spotted Tail located on
the Rosebud; that general depot for both be
located on the Missouri river below White
river, and that the names of the agencies be
changed to Ogallalla and Rosebud.
The President inquired as to the water on
the new reservations and the conditions Of the
country. He expressed qualification when he
learned that the country was excellent for In
dians In all respects.
In reply to his inquiries II there would be any
trouble in the removal, answers were given
that there would not be. The Indians are per-
fectly peaceable, and there would be no trou-
BILE with them. Recent reports to the contra
ry were sensational The only cause for trou-
carry out it's agreement. This would be done
promptly, commissioner Hoyt assured the
President that there would be no unnecessary
delay Three millions five hundred pounds of
freight had already been purchased and was
ready to be shipped to them. The President
expressed himself satisfied with the work Of
the commission, and that body withdrew.

Horace Whites Views ON the Commercial

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The Congressional

OF the Chicago Tribune, who claimed to have
given much attention to the labor question,
testified that be thought that the present
commercial crisis is only a similar one to
such as has occurred the whole world over
for 200 years. He thought all such crises
have been preceded by enormous speculation.
of 1878 was speculations in railroad enter
prises and not real estate investments. The
nature Of the currency, in his opinion, has
little to do with the crisis. He didn't think

CANADA,
The Single ScMlI Race at Hamilton,

HAMILTON, Ont, Aug. 23.-The water was
in good condition for the great single scull
race, which came off here this afternoon. The
attendance was large, and as each oarsman
appeared on the water he was enthusiastic
ally cheered by his admiring friends. Among
the spectators was Edward Hanlon, but he
did not take part in the race.
With the exception of Wallace Ross, who
appeared little the worse for his late illness,
the oarsmen were in good trim. Ross got off
first, McKen second. Plaisted led at the half
mile, and at the turn Hosmer took the lead
and took Morris water. Morris then tagged,
and Plaisted got into what appeared second
pace McKen pushed the pair, he
pulling in the fourth place. Hos
mer mel turned his buoy in the most
scientific manner, and, by doing so, gained a
boats length on Morris. The rest Of the race
was shallow farce. Hosmer won as he
liked; Morris was second, Wallace Ross
third, McKen fourth, Plaisted fifth, Luther
sixth, Elliott and Harry Coulter anywhere.
Edward Ross did not start, as he had nc
boat, and could not row in the one offered
him. The purse was $1,000, of which SAFE
went to first, -S275 to second, $50 to third, ST
to fourth, and S25 to fifth. Time taken by
Hanlon was twenty-four minutes and twenty
four seconds, but the course is said to be much
short of four miles. TWenty-eight minutes

trOtted without a break, after a most mag
nificent start. Time, 2:l5 2:1311a, 2:1324, the
three fastest consecutive heats ever trotted.
When the result Of the last heat was an
