the committee to the fact that if
the work Of the Dawes commission
was TO be continued. as il bad in
the past, and he would beexpecied
by the secretary of the interior to

Three-eighths Mark.

LEXINGTON, Ky. Oct &c F. Hill,
trainer for Clarence II. Mackay. was
here last week and looked over some
youngsters at the Kentucky Association
track. He left without making any pur-
chases and is said to have received tip
that the three-eighths mile pole had been
tampered with. Upon investigation yes
terday it was found that the three-eighths
pole formerly known throughout the
country as the "Old walnut tree" had
been set forty-two feet nearer the finish.
The inves tiSation vas made at the ir-
stance of 81 Hughes, whose colt. by
Major Richards, dam Miss Preston, had
covered the distance in 81 seconds. He
said the work as too fast for a green
yOuEgster, and then upon examination
found that the mark referred to had been
tampered with He and Dan O'Brien had
worked two youngsters for Hill. \ local

timed the youngsters in O:s6A. That I
bold attempt was made to swindle Mac

exactly at the end of the whitewashed
portion of the fence and that O'Brien re-
quested the track superintendent, John
Farris, to have the fence whitewashed
farther up the track. Although the re-
quest was a strange one Harris did not
enquire the reason, being in a hurry. and
had a negro use whitewash the next
morning after O'Brien requested it.
II. Engemen and Trevis Wilkerson,,
who own the colt, say they gave OBrien
an option on the youngster for 81. 500 and
were requested by him not to meet the
men who were coming TO examine the
colt When Mr.. Mackays trainer, G. F.
Hill, arrived to see the youngster Wilker-
son remembered his promise and refused
to be introduced
After the work which delighted Hill, he

deal would be completed by wire. The
short distance was discovered. however

Messrs. Engt man and Wilkerson wired

ON GOOD TERMS WITH MR.. HAY
Slight Friction, However, the Cause
of Mr.. CridIer's Withdrawal.

Since the resignation was announced
Saturday of Thomas w. Cridler. Third
Assistant Secretary of State. reports have
been published that his withdrawal is due
to friction between him and Secretary
Hay during the late negotiations to set
tie claims against the Sultan of Morocco.
Although this was not tie direct cause
of the resignation it is known that for
sor1e time, Mr.. Cr.dler's relations with
the State Department have not been al
together satisfactory.
Nearly two years ago Mr.. Cridlers
views in regard to the negotiations with
the Sultan of Morocco clashed with those
of the Secretary of State. Since that time
other incidents have occurred in which
the acts of the Third Assistant Secretary
| were at variance with the chief Depart
ment officials. Some of the members of
| the Diplomatic Corps also have not had
the pleasautest relations with Mr.. Grid
Ter, although it has been necessary for
them to have frequent official relations
with him.
Although Mr.. Cridler's resignation has
not yet been formally rendered, it will be
made at once. He will accept the place
of European representative of the St.
Louis Exposition. This position was Of
fered to him at the suggestion OF SecTe-
tary Hay. and it has been said plainly
that there is no personal ill-feeiing be-
tween the Secretary and the Third As
si5tant. Mr.. Cridler said last night that
he could not discuss the subject OF his
expected withdrawal from the State De-
partment further than TO say that his re-
lations with Secretary Hay are pleasant,
and that they are perfectly in accord in
regard TO the proposition 10 withdraw
for the purpose of accepting the place
with the st. Louis EXPO Sition
Mr.. Cridler has been In the State De-
partment since 1875. He served as clerk
until April 1897, when he was appointed
Third Assistant by President Mckinley.
