MINOR LEAGUE MEETING.
Presidents Will Gather at Gotham
August so.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-The meeting
of minor league presidents which will
consider the new baseball agreement
submitted by the major league mag
mates has been called for Sunday, Aug
ust 80, in New York. While the minor
league representatives who attended the
peace conference are averse to discuss
ing their probable action at the New
York meeting it is known that the new
national agreement is not looked upon
with favor. A careful study of the doc
ument by the baseball leaders today
convinced many of them that the status
of the minor leagues under the new
agreement would be less desirable than
under existing conditions.
The New York meeting will be attend
ed by representatives of the principal
minor leagues of the country. Among
those who have signified their intention
of being present are: Sexton of the
Three-I, and Hickey of the American
Association.

ter-Ocean from Minneapolis. Mimi, says:
Edith White, former wife of John A
White, general agent of the Deering di-
vision of the International Harvester Co,
died of starvation in the Klondike country
and her body probably has been devoured

dispatch from Seattle, which gives the
details of the finding of the unfortunate
woman's diary containing a history of
her life from the time she left her former
home lin Mankato sumth she. died of ex-
posture and lack of food in the heart of
the trackless Copper river country.
Mrs. White was a graduate of the den
tai school of the state university and was
practicing dentistry in Dawson City two
years ago. She wrote her relatives here
saying she was going into vie interior
and probably would not be home for
some time

BILLY BUCK BRACES UP.
E. E. Smathers' Racer Redeems a
Past Faulty Record

Readville, Mass, Aug 2S-About II, 900
persons attended the grand circuit races
at Readville. The conditions were not
perfect for extremely fast time The
track had not dried out sufficiently to be
as good as possible, while the clouds
kept the sun from shining.
With Dan Patch to go against his
worlds record of 1:59. the Massachu-
sets $4,000 stake for trotting eligible
to PIP class last spring, John A. Nc
Kerron to beat his record of 2:05A and
three other regular racing events on
the card. the crowd had a world Of en-
tertainment.
Billy Buck ruled the favorite for the
big stake. Swift won the opening heat
handily by a length from the favorite,
and looked likely to take the second
when he fell back beaten. Scott Hud
son made a stiff bid for the heat with
Hawthorn. but Billy Buck managed to
land at the wire first by a narrow mar
gin. Again in the stretch in the third
heat, the roam mare looked very dam
gerous, but at a distance she went to
a bad break Buck winning by a length
over Caspian Andrews tried Swift once
more in the fourth heat He led to the
seven-eighths pole. When Billy Buck
raced past him Swift being a half
length back when the wire was reached.
The record forathes stake Of 2:03 made
by Onward Silver in 1891 was lowered in
the second heat to 2:07A.
The judges suspended Scott Hudson
ten days for laying Hawthorne up in
the first heat Alta Mcdonald was also
given ten days suspension for laying
Kamaress up in the initial heat of the
2:20 trot. Queen Wilkes won the race.
Lou J. Mcdonald paraded the best
3-year-old out this year in Sadie Mac.
She trotted to the half, the first heat of
her race in :041s, the second quarter in
BIN seconds, fairly walking the last fifty
yards and winning in 2:12A.
Dan Patch paced each of the first
three-Quarters of his mile in exactly 30N
seconds and the final one in 291z sec
onds, making the mile in 2:005a.
John A. McKerron reduced his record
from 2:05A to 2:04$4, trotting the last
half in 1:0115

a corps of observation, to open the way
for the advance of an army. to obtain
information, to reconnoiter the country
and to repair or build roads and bridges.
Officers and men of the cavalry, artillery
and infantry, and of the quartermaster'S
and signal corps, should serve two or
four years with this corps.
The modern appliances of road-build-
ing are vastly superior to those former
~ used. Gin fact the work is now done
principally by machinery, and this
corps should be supplied with all the
recent inventions and improvements for
that purpose. 1t should constantly be
moved about through different parts of
the country, where it would have every
opportunity for experience in improving
the roads suitable for the movement OF
an army. making careful study of the
topography, surveying and mapping the
different sections as it passes over them,
making both officers and men familiar
with this most important work. and at
the same time benefitting the country
wherever the corps may be operating.
In fact such corps would be of more
important, practical and direct benefit
to the country in the time of peace than
all the rest of the army, and in time
of war would be invaluable.
The millions of dollars that are now
uselessly expended for one-third of the
mounted force could in this way be
utilized in bringing about a great i'm
provement in the army, comforting
great benefit upon the country, at the
same time training most important
corps for military service, and I urge
that this measure be recommended to
and authorized by congress.
Very respectfully.

place to enter on a business career.
The object of sending a man from
private life to inquire into conditions
is to make the investigation still more
searching still more disintereSted and
to give the finding more complete cred
ence with the public at large The sec
retary's instructions to this agent, when
secured, will be to go into all phases OF
the question without favoritism on the
one hand, or fear of public clamor on
the other. He takes the position that
while it is necessary and right to pro-
tect the Indians, it is neither necessary
nor right to punish innocent officials.
Two members of the Dawes commas
sion who were absent, from Indian ter
ritory on their annual leaves when the
charges were made by the Indian
Rights association, have been recalled
for the purpose of meeting the cIlu-
cisms published against them. Indian
Inspector Wright. who has been
trusted employee of the government for
twenty years. will be expected, like all
others, to give his attention to the in
Qui-v.
The secretary realizes that while
there may be shortcomings on the part
of some of the government officials,
there are, on the other hand, many
men not employed by the government
whom he designates as 'tgrafterS,' and
by whom any official who may oppose
their designs is certain to be made the
subject of the harshest censure. The
secretary announces his determination
to protect officials who are doing their
duty against the schemes of all such
people.
Several officials who already have
been detected in questionable trans
actions have been summarily dismissed,
while the designations of others have
been requested. The secretary takes
the position that it does not promote
the public interest to publish names of
dismissed officials. These dismissals
and others occurred before the Indian
Rights association had called attention
to Irregularities in the territory. and
most of them We're the result of per-
sOnal investigations by the secretary.

FELL INTO A CHASM.
An American Tourist and His Guide
Plunge $50 Feet. 20

New York, Aug. 2s-Herbert K. Manner,
an experienced young American Alpinist,
and his guide, have had a remarkable es-
cape near St Moritza. says Paris dis
patch to the Herald. On the MOrteratscI,
20 minutes below the summit, while as
cending the steepest ice slope. the center
caved in, forming a crevasse more than
$50 feet in depth. Both were dashed to
the bottom, with masses of ice towering
above them. Both guide and tourist lost
consciousness. They were missed by a
party ahead who lowered themselves into
the cavern and found the American unin-
jured. The guide was somewhat hurt by
ice blocks.
