WASHINGTON, June 28.-Acklen reached
here this morning, and has been en-
gagged all day with his friends and the
friends of the lady involved in tho recent
scandal in preparing statement to be pub
iished in the Post tomorrow and teiegraDhed
to the press associations North and South.
This will probably conclude the whole matter
as the statement is so explicit and ex-
haustive and so thoroughly attested
by all parties concerned or In any way
cognizant of the affair as to leave
no room for further doubt or dispute, though
tide OF public sentiment In the North, which
was ut first wildly prejudicial to Acklen, has
entirely turned and Is reacting against the
authors Of the calumny. Acklen will return
home Immediately. It Is not necessary to
send the text of the statement, as the press
dispatches will cover the material points.

Details Of the Race.

New LONDON, June 28,-A few minutes af-
ter IL o'clock the boats got away. Yale caught
water first, took slight lead and for ten
strokes held her own with her antagonist, but
the power in the Harvards stroke could not
be denied, and she gradually drew away
from the blue. The HHryards started at
thirty-seyen strokes and Yale at thirty-three.
The HarvardS drew away with wonderfully
beautiful stroke, much superior In form and
precision to that of Yale; she increased in her
lead at each stroke, aud within few minutes
from the start clear water showed between
the boats From this time the interest
ceased, for 1t was plain that Harvard had the
race in her own hands. Yale held on to her
thirty-two strokes and not once increased It
until the second mile was passed, when she
went up to thirty-four. Harvard rowed
steady ut thirty-seven, touching thirty-eight
at intervals. To q close observer behind the
crews, Yale's hang was their chief fault, their
boat losing headway In the long rest between
the final of one stroke and the catch of
another; the Harvard's catch was beautifully
taken and pulled through with great force.
The three mile point was passed and Yale
was hOpelessly behind from five to six
lengths, pulling thlrty-tour strokes on the
last part OF the mile. At the close Harvard
spurted to thirty-nine and Yale to thirty-six,
but to no purpose, and Harvard bounded over
the line twelve lengths ahead amid the din of
groans from yachts and from whistles of the
locomotives and steamboats,.

coins were captured in different parts of the
country, already accumulated, and fresh ad-
ditions to the stock are daily received. An
analysis OF the coins shows that they are
composed of block tin, antimony and glass
cast In moulds made Of plaster paris. Among
the new lot OF counterfeit coins received to-
day some were found which in appearance
and by ordinary acid tests could not be dis
tinguished from the genuine. careful ex-
animation led to the discovery that they were
manufactured by the electrotyping process
and sufficient coating of silver being placed
