The line is down beyond Cello, and no

SECRETARY SCHURz
egN - ~ a. IN
Qives His , Opinion Of. Indian
~ Affairs In Dakota.
The Plan to Entrap Dishonest Indian
Agents was Laid in his Office.

Washington, July 17.-To-day Secre
tary Schurz being asked his opinion a,
to the result Of the consultation be-
tween the commission recently sent
out to Dakota accompanied by Com.
missioner Hoyt) and the Sioux, says
Mr. Hoyt's mission has not failed,
and all the objects mentioned in his
letter Of instructions, have been com.
piled with. The removal of the Sioux
Indians would have taken place long
ago had not Congress so long delayed
the appropriations. The Department
asked for these appropriations at the
October session, and then during the
regular session, several times, by letters
addressed to the Speaker of the House,
but without result. All the promises
made to those Indians have been and
are being complied with. The Sioux
chiefs have repeatedly expressed salts
faction with the manner in which the
supplies are delivered to them, and also
to the quality and quantity OF these
supplies.
Queston.-Has not the discovery of
the swindling operations carried on at
Crow Creek Agency by DR.. Livingston
been surprise to your
Answer.-Not at all; 1 knew the de-
tails Of it several weeks ago; the fact is
that had the case transmitted to the
Department Of Justice some weeks ago
for the prosecution Of the offenders,
and 1t is now in the hands Of the Dis
trict Attorney of Dakota.
The Secretary says this campaign
against the Indian agents was planned
in his Office, and reflect not discredit
but honor on the Indian Bureau. He
declares that these discoveries vindi-
cate the Indian service, which is trying
to break up the abuses for years. He
promised further developments in the
future as the result Of pending investi-
cations. The present policy of getting
the Indians on reservations and put
ting them to farming and stock raising
Is easily framed, but difficult to carry
put. II needs the cooperation Of the
whites and patience to accomplish it.
He is confident the Indian service can

BOAT RACING.
Victory of the cornells Over the Har-
wards.

Victory Of the cornells Over the Har-
wards.
Auburn, July 1.-THE Cornell Har-
ward eight-oared freshmen race was
called by Referee Blaikie, at 4:13 p. m.
The weather was exceedingly hot and
the water not entirely calm. The Cor
nell was afioat first and padded to po-
sition on the inside of the course. The
Harvard followed soon after and halted
in position on the outside, awaiting the
word. With few precautions the ref
cree gave word from the moving grand
stand, comprised of thirty-nine cars,
well filled, which accompanied the oars
men from the start to finish on the
Southern Central railroad, not more
than eight rods from the course.
The crews seemed to take water sim
ultaneously and started at the rate of
nearly forty strokes per minute. In
the first quart ter Of mile the Cornell
had forged half a length ahead, which,
at half mile was increased to full
length; time 2:30. The Cornell rowing
forty strokes and the Harvard ten less,
the mile was made in 5:22, with Har-
ward one and one-half lengths in the
rear. The two miles was passed by the
Cornell in 11:25, and the Harvard in
1884, each pulling thirty-four per min
ute. Previous to reaching the buoy the
Harvard made a powerful squirt, but by
superior dash the Cornell maintained
commanding lead. The last mile as
sured the Cornell's victory, and the
cheers urging her on, from shore, were
tumultuous. The Cornell crossed the
finish line winner by nearly three lengths
in 17:13s; the Harvard finished at
leisurely stroke in 17:273. The Cornell
had a great majority of admirers in the
crowd and when they finished they
were greeted with tremendous cheering
and the peculiar cry of Cornell, !" from
thousands of throats. The excitement
among the Cornell students was of the
widest description; a great number of
them rushing into the lake waist deep
to carry their victorious comrades
ashore. The din of every locomotive
and steamboat whistle, added to the
general confusion and cheering, was
prolonged long after the race.
Courtney, the champion single sculler,
was the official time keeper. Each
crew was forced to row with substitutes.
1t was generally conceded that the
Cornell had the advantage in position,
as the water was smoother in shore than
outside.
