fOOO or $25,000 and then spend tlio balnnce

Indiana Hell Callle.
That tho Indian In advancing In civiliza
tion was evidenced at the stock yards thla
wook by the arrival of a delegation of two
dozen Sioux bucks from tho Iloscbud
agency. These red men of the north
brought down twenty-one cars of cattle
from tho reservation, which were sold hero.
With all the keenness of their nature these
warriors and sons of warriors sat on the
fences at tho yards and watched with In
terest tho salo of their stock. Not a
movement of tho buyers or sellers escaped
them. Whllo tho younger men of the
party woro the dress of the white man, the
older men went without hats and sat on
tho fences with a blanket wrapped around
them. The sight was certainly picturesque
and was qui to a change from the usual
humdrum scenes at tho yards. At the Ex
change building tho Indians attracted more
or less attention. Quite a number of those
who made tho Journey to this market are
reputed to bo quite successful stock
raisers, whllo others came along because
the opportunity offered.
After tho sale of tho stock, which brought
good figures, some of the learcrs left for
their homes, whllo others remained hero to
see tho sights and Invest the proceeds as
tbclr fancies dictated.
A bunch of b.ilf a dozen enjoyed them
nclves yesterday In meandering about the
ntrcots looking Into store windows. In
nomo Instances amall purchases were made.
As tho rule the Indians were well behaved,
although a few nianuged lu some way to
procuro samples of "sheep dip," tho effects
of which prevented them from navigating
without a pilot.
It Is only recently that the Indians have
taken sorlously to the cattle raising projojt.
For years past It has been the cuttom of
the government to Issue beef to the Indians
on the Rosebud and I'lno Itldgo agencies on
tho hoof.jthcrcfore there "Wis no Incentive
to accumulate a hord. With the change from
tho old system the more civilized Indians
' commenced the raising of cattlo with the
result that now shipments from there ranges
nro mado to snmo market a couplo of times
a year.
Thoso of tho party who arc familiar with
tho way of the white man. expressed ihem
srlven an well pleased with this market
and tho prices their cattle brought,
Tho party was mado up as follows:
Chief Four Horns, Alexander Stlllcwny,

Diniei Iaterrltw on Echlej Inquiry Alleged
in Boston Dlipatchti.
OFFERS TO WITHDRAW FROM THE COURT
If Iteinnlnn ?a He Can Do Duly on
III Conscience nnd Onth nnd
Without Partiality, aa Law
lleiiulrea.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. Acting Secre
tary of the Navy Hackett today made pub
lic personal correspondence between Rear
Admiral Howlson and himself In relation
to tho fitness of the admiral to serve upon
the court of Inquiry, Admiral Howlson
having consented that his personal letter
should be given the public.
A copy of Rear Admiral Howlson's let
ter has been sent to Renr Admiral 8chlcy.
The correspondence Is aa follows:
VONKER8, N. Y Aug. SI, Wl.-Dcar Sir:
1 have Just returned to my home nftcr a
short visit to Saratoga and Lake George.
Owing to my detail as a member of tho
court of Inquiry, ordered to meet on Sep
tember 12 next, I find that many newspa
pers are giving me credit for hnvlng served
my country In the United States navy for
nearly half a century with honor.
I seo also that I um thought to be ob
jectionable nn a member of this court of
inquiry, It being stnted that 1 publicly ex
prenned oplnlonx on the conduct of the bat
tle of Santiago while serving nn command
ant at the HoHton navy yard, shortly after
the result of that engagement was known.
I believe the service knows, an I do, that
I do not attempt to make public speeches,
write for magazines or pnpern or make nub
ile utterances on naval or others sub.eJ.n.
It ban been Impossible for mo tu nvom the
visltB nnd iiucHllona of reprenentntlven ot
newspapers while nerving nt Important sta
tions and nt times when tho navy has been
so busily employed.
The letter here refors to the writer's
pbasant relations with newspapers at Mart?
Island, llostou and other stations and
continues no follows:
When the news of our navy's succeis r.t
Manila nnd again at Santiago reached Bos
ton, the people there were not behind tho
rest of the United States In giving honor
and praise to the navy and to the com-mnndcrs-ln-chlcf
of the Meets.
Tho enthusiasm of tho population In
praise nnd honor for the oftlcera nnd men
engnged nt Santiago lasted for some time,
until later, when the troubles commenced
ns to where the credit and honors should go
for tbo success of this engagement.
It is no news to the navy to say that
where nil do their duty the first hon
ors for success go to the officer In chief
command. Censure for failure nlso be
longs to Jilm.
Thin newspaper cutting contains a ques
tion In which It stutes that I made u com
parison between Schley nnd Sampson, un
favorable to Schloy.
Tho word "respected," nn used by tho
reporter, is seldom or never employed by
navy men in comparing the qualities pos
sessed by officers, nnd I nm sure 1 could
never have nald this ns he reports, nor nald
thnt Schley had the reputation of being
ncrvou nnd hot-headed in the naval acad
emy. .... .
One may nay an officer ntnnds higher In
his class, If true: another mny stand higher
In scientific attainments, while another lu
distinguished fur eminent diplomatic un.l
social qualities, while nil under discussion
are of good standing and proficient In their
necessary professional calling.
I have no recollection of the gentleman
reporting tho Boston Record, and I don t
approve of his public statement as mine. I
cannot say that I have not discussed with
acquaintances matters published In the
newspapers relating to our navy's success
as well an tho unfortunate disputes so
widely commented upon.
There nro a few, or no persons. In the
navy or In bur country who have not dally
dlscunscd these newspaper articles.
From the papers It appears that Admiral
Schley ha strong doubta an to my lltne.'s
to fairly Judge this case with Admirals
Dewey and Benhnm.
An It la n case of grave Importance to
those concerned and to the country, I nm
desirous of giving my little help to clear
nway tho troubles.
The duties of member of courts-martial
and courts of Inquiry are mot sought or
desired by officers.
While I feel highly honored by the de
partment's selection of myself for thli
duty. It la anything but n pleasant task
to sit In Judgment on brother officers.
However, tho honor of the tolection, nor
the unplensantness of court duties do not
enter Into the rensons for my now writing
to say to you, personally, three things, viz.:
1. To reassure you that I nm not re
sponsible for nnd did not give out pitch
nn Interview as Is ntlcged In tho dispatches
from Boston nnd ns stated In. the news
pnpers to have been mentioned by Admiral
Schley In a recent letter to the depart-
i. If, however, the department feels that
tho cause of the nuvy and of Justice will
be better served by relieving me from duty
on the court. I am entirely ready to with
draw voluntarily, or to have the depart
ment relieve me upon Itn own fnltlntlve.
S. If, on the other hand, the department,
knowing nil the clrcumstnnccs, desires tint
I should perform tho duty, I nm entlre'y
ready to perform It, nnd can, upon my
connclenco nnd onth, do my duty as a
member of tho court, "without partiality."
nn the law requires. Yours sincerely and
respectfully, H. L. HOWISON.

Mr. Hackott replied as follows:
WABIimilTUN, D. C, Aug. 26. Dear
Admiral: lour personal letter of 21th de
serves nn Immediate reply.
You nay substantially that thero Is no
foundation for tnc stntrmentn attrlbutod
to you an having been set forth In an In
terview afterward published In tho Boston
Record nnd lately mado the subject of a
communication from Rear Admiral Schley
to the department. You evidently havo
read tho correspondence between the ad
miral nnd tho department ns published last
week In the nowspupcrs.
'the department, let mo assure you, has
no purpose of relieving you of thin duty.
It has Implicit confidence in your nonso
of Justice and folr-mlndedness.
Should tho counsel for Rear Admiral
Schley proceed to offer to the court ob
jection to you It will be for the court
Itself lo tlecldo tho qucstlcn of your com
petency to nit nn n momber.
Were your letter oftlc.al Instead of
being merely personal, I should refer it
to tho Judge ndvocatn of tho court, lo
bo Initt betore the court. I would like to
know If you navo any objection to rny
k..uig lu iiiu pjulio your frnnk nnd manly
lotter. In tho event that li shall senn
dexlrable to do so.
Wbtn you have said only confirms me In
the belief thtn the department hna been
fortunate In selecting you aa the thl'd
member of the court.
Kindly accept tho nssurnncc of my per
sonal esteem and believe me. your truly
FRANK W. HACKKTT.'

Coward,
NEW YORK, Aug. 30. Admiral John C.
Watson Is quoted In the World as having
said In the course ot a private conversa
tion lu Washington:
"If any nuvnl officer asserts that Admiral
Schley Is a coward and the fact comes to
my knowledge I will eeo that the delinquent
Is given n chance to vindicate his opinion

FROM OMAHA TO FORT CROOK
Mennlnr Mllliird Will Renew the HITnrt
(or Kalnlillahnieut of Military
llnad.
The effort made some time ago to have
a paved road between Omaha nnd Fort
Crook Is to be renewed. At the time tho
post was established across the lino In
Sarpy county the proportion for a piv.'d
road was brought up, but not carried
through. Among tho things Senator Mil
lard will undertake will be tho construction
of such a road. Ho hopes to succerd In
having It declared a military road from thi
town to tho post, to be maintained by thi
government.
"I hope to hnvc the road established and
maintained by the government," told
the senntor, "but It cannot bo
done without the co-operation of
the city. The government will not main
tain a city street and tho object cannot bo
accomplished until the street which wttl
Join this road Is paved to tho corporation
lino. When this Is done nnd tho Importance
of means of communication other than by
railroad Is ahown the depnttmont I do nt
think that It will bo Impossible to secure
tholr approval of the plan.
"Fort Crook Is In time to be one of the
big posts of tho west, and It In essential to
tho good of both the city and the post that
such a road bo established, In addition to
Its usefulness It will afford a beautiful
drive, ns It will undoubtedly bo parked by
tho residents along tho route nnd can bo
mado to be one ot the most beautiful drives
tn the country. In addition to this there
should be some effort mado to got n lino of
street cars from the fort to the city. Kfforts
should bo made to bilng them closer to
