A HARVARD STUDENT INSANE.
Driven Crazy by Overstudy and Suisse
Quent Excitement.

The exciting scenes and danger to the Sioux
commission which Sitting Bull created in his
EFFORTS TO prevent the signing Of the treaty
which has just been concluded drove one Of
the oommission's clerks into violent insanity.
The young man is Everett Corbin, brother Of
Lieut.. Col. Corbin, attached 70 Gen. Crooks

times. The day before he escaped he struck
an attendant heavy blow with stick. II is
feared that he will injure or kill some ono in
bis wanderings or that he may commit suicide.
Corbin had been attending Harvard college
for two years and had studied 90 hard that he
had undermined his health. On the recon-
mendation OF . physician Lieut. Col. Corbin

attached to the Sioux commission as clerk
About SIX weeks ago, when the excitement was

MS band, Corbin suddenly became Q raving
maniac. He was started for Chicago in charge
OF two men, escaping from them twice before
reaching there. Each time he was recaptured
Corbin has been raving ever since his confine-
ment Of the glory and honor he could attain by
Joining the commission and returning home
with them. This idea was uppermosf in his
mind, and 1t Is thought he has started westward
to the Sioux reservation. He is undoubtedly

AT THEIR UTMOST SPEED.
Ocean Racers Thronged with Passen-
gers ON Their Way to New York.

London Special to New York World. August 10.
The ocean racers started of in fine style
from Queenstown Thursday. and the news of
their arrival at New York is being watched for
with the utmost eagerness. Thousands Of
pounds have been staked on the race princi-
pally by Americans here, who take great inter-
est in the result. Singularly enough, all offer
large odds in favor Of the City Of New York
against the Teutonic. In q group Of Ameri-
cans assembled in the smoking room of the
Hotel Metropole last night one of the men
present offered fi00 to E10 odds against the
Teutonic. He offered to increase the amount
in that proportion to any sum for which takers
could be found that the Teutonic would never
beat the present record Of the City of Paris
This gentleman was on the Teutonic during
her run to Portsmouth and bases his bets on
the results Of the trip, which he had obtained
from one OF the engineers. Steamboat men
who watched the Teutonic during her run
down to Portsmouth say that while the vessel
Is splendid one, she is not equal in speed to
the City Of Paris. The Inman people claim
that the City OF Paris has not shown as vet
what she really can do, and declare that before
the season Is over she will lower her present
record by ten hours.
The City Of New York, the City Of Rome and
the Teutonic left the Mersey almos. at the same
time and steamed down to Queenstown i'm sight
OF one another. The City of Rome arrived
there first, the City of New York second and
| the Tentonic last. In getting away from
Queenstown the Teutonic was behind the
others, IN consequence OF the fact that she had
to wait for the mails. The City of New York
had only two sacks of mail specially marke ed by
people who had faith In her getting out first,
while the Teutonic carried 769 bags of mail.
The actual time at which each ship left Queens
town was as follows; The City of Rome, nc
an; the City of New York, 1:s0 pm; the leu
tonic, 2:05 pm.
There was immense cheering by the crowd
collected along the shore when the Teutonic
got fairly Of and plunged through the sea q,
| full speed in the wake Of the two vessels pre.
eeding her. There is no doubt that the com
mander OF each viii force their speed to the
utmost. The Teutonic carried 24S saloon
