BUILDING, COR. UTU AND DOVGLAJ IT. erew was fighting for the lead. At the end of the first half mile the alx shells had begun to assume final relative posi tions In the race, which could now easily be measured off. Cornell was leading by threa-fourtha of a length over Wisconsin, while Columbia waa barely a quarter be hind the Fadgers. Georgetown, Pennsyl vania and Syracuse were pulling In the rder named, with only a few feet separat ing the nones of tbel shells. Cornell had tarted In the race at 34 stroke, as bad Georgetown and Syracuse. Oeorgetown and Pennsylvania atarted at 37, while Wiscon sin rowed 36 strokes to the mlinute for the first quarter of a mil. At the end of the first half mile Cornell had aettled down to 22 and so had Syracuse. Oeorge town bad ralaed Ita atroke one point and o had Wisconsin. The Badgera were now lowing 37 to the minute, while Columbia and Pennsylvania had each dropped from 17 to 85. Cornell Going ' Nicely. Cornell's boat was running beautifully between strokes and so was Wisconsin's, tut the Badgera wer using more power to get their speed. The New Yorker were oln better than anyone had expected. while Pennsylvania was doing a great deal. I Georgetown big crew was slugging It ana so was Syracuse. At the end of the first mil Wisconsin bad cut down Cornell's lead by half a length and the Ithacana were barely a quarter of a length In the lead. Columbia had dropped back a half length more behind Wisconsin, Georgetown was now a quarter of a length behind Colum bia, with Pennsylvania ten feet In the rear and Syracuse halt a length behind. The Ithacana had plainly aettled to their gait and waa rowing at thirty-two. Wla oonsln had dropped her stroke down a point and so had Pennsylvania and Oeorge town. Columbia and Syracuse were still holding the same gait they had struck at the end of the first half mile. Over the next half mile Cornell began to make up what she had lost. Little by little the Ithacans pulled away from the Badzer until they were leading by a full length. Columbia clung to Wisconsin with out losing a foot, while Oeorgetown, Penn sylvania and Syracuse were once more al most even. The Badgera dropped their stroke down another point and were now rowing at thirty-five. Columbia put hors down to thirty-four. Pennsylvania ralaed hers to thirty-five and Georgetown put hera up two notches to thlrty-slx. Cornell and Syracuse were still clinging to thirty-two. The Badgers were tlll ready to bet that they would win the race, and their hopes leaped up again as their crew, rowing at two polnta lower, passed the two-mile flag with Cornell barely aeven'-elghths of a length to the good. The same distance separated the Wisconsin and Columbia boats. Two and a half lengths behind Columbia, Oeorgetown, Syracuse and Penn sylvania were still nip and tuck. Half a mile further on the Ithacana were a length and a half In the lead. Columbia was still clinging to Wisconsin, while the other three eights had all pulled up a good length M the New Yorker. Bads-era Com I'p Again. At the three-mile flag the race seemed to be over, for Cornell was now two lengths ' ahead. Columbia had dropped back to a longth and a quarter behind the Badgera and two good lengtha separated the New Yorkers from the last crews In the race. But the Badgers were not yet whipped. One more they spurted and once more Ihey cut down Cornell's lead by quarter of a length before the Ithacans had reached the three and a half mile flag. Ther waa more power left in the Cornell boat and the Ithacans simply laughed at the Badger and then let out for the finish. Cornell finished three good lengths ahead t Wisconsin. A length and a half sep arated the Wisconsin and Columbia boata, while the Quakers were nearly T length behind. Syracuae was about two teet back and eOorgetown wa less than a rafd behind Syracuae. In the Freshman race Cornell got the lead at the start and never lost It. For the first halt mile Syracuse made 4 splendid fight tor second place, but before the end bf the mile Wisconsin had pulled Into sec ond place. Syracuae waa In fourth place ' and Columbia fifth. All five boata were 'tapped and It was not until the last half mil of the race that there wa open water between any of the shell. Over the last mil Cornell and Wisconsin fought It out tor first place, but the Ithacana gradually pulled away from the Badgers. Columbia lumped upon Syracuae In the last halt mil and beat out the Syracuse boy by a length and half for third place. The Quakers remained In fifth place from beginning to sod In this race and at ths finish war four length behind Syracuse. ' In the 'varsity four-oared race Penn sylvania took the lead at the start, with ' Cornell a close second and Columbia In third place. The Ithacana gradually pulled up with the Quaker and at the half mile were leading by two boat length, with Co lumbia a length and a halt behind the Quakers.

WYET1I THE WINNER (Continued from First Psge.) they rushed round the last turn into the straight run for home Heno had still the honor of holding first place, but the effort waj costing blm dearly . and already his stride was beginning to shorten percepti bly. He ran on with bulldog courage, but could not ahake oft Otis, who had closed up much of the gap the eastern colt had opened around the turn. Belle's Com moner, Wyeth and Aladdin now appeared to be running more strongly than the two leaders and those who are quick to discern when a race horse is approaching the beaten point raised a cry that neither Heno nor Otis would get any of the money. Favorites Go Down. No sooner did it become plain that the favorite wa really in distress tbsn Otis also began to cry enough. With a furlong still to ruh both were straight as a string, and It was plain neither oould stsy la front to the wire. Then It was that Lyne made his move on Wyeth. He set the colt down and the son of Wadsworth and Fonsle came away past the leader with little ef fort, and a hundred yards from the wire was bailed as a winner. Lyne kept him go ing and at the same time had a little in reserve In case some one of the others should come behind with a rush. He was watching for this and saw Luclen Appleby and Aladdin coming fast to the finish, but all be had to do was to keep his horse go ing to stall off their furloua rush. Wood and Coburn were driving hard through the last sixteenth of a mile and they certainly got the most out of their, respective mounts, but It wa not In Luclen Appleby and Alad din to beat Wyeth and he pasaed under th wire a comfortable winner by almost two lengths. ' Otis, despite the heavy weight he was carrying, ran on to the end in the most resolute fashion and finished fourth, de priving Heno of that barren honor, but having the satisfaction of winning the duel that he and the eastern colt had fought out every Inch of the journey over the full Derby course. It was a grand struggle be tween these two colts, who were beaten by their own tremendous efforts and were far from disgraced. It Is no exaggeration to say that today's American Derby was the finest contest In the eyes of the horsemen that has been seen here since Boundless beat an equally large and high classed field in 1893.

FENCES ARE TO COME DOWN BaoTsUrj Hitchoock Annonnoei that Work Will Cammtno In July. ALL AVAILABLE DEPUTIES EMPLOYED Senator Dietrich Gives Dinner to a Nambcr of Friends anal Sap porters of the Irrlgn- Hon BUI. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, June 21. (Special Tele gram.) Secretary Hitchcock of the Inter ior department stated today that fences on the public domain would come down on July 1 and that he would throw Into the field sixty special agents to enforce the ex isting law. The secretary, In speaking generally of the moving of fences from the public domain, which have been erected by large cattle growing Interests and ranch men said he appreciated the Urge Inter ests Involved and the Immense cspltal in vested In the cattle raising business and that It was necessary to supply the needs of eighty millions of people, but he had no sympathy with the manner in which the cattle grdwer usurped the public domain and that the power of the Interior depart ment would be used In carrying out the law prohibiting the erection of fences on the public lands of the United States. "There have been charges made from time to time," said the secretary, "that the government was winking at the erection of fences by the cattle growers. This Is abso lutely Incorrect. From time to time offi cers of the Interior department have been requested to withhold action looking to the removal of fences on th ground that con gress would enact aome remedial legisla tion. Department Opposes Leasing Bill. "At each session of congress we have heard the same thing stated and at the beginning of the present cession a general land leasing bill was Introduced, providing that all the remaining vacant land of the United States In sixteen states and terri tories should be leased for grazing pur poses at 2H cents an acre for five years, with the right to extend the lease for an other period of five years. Thl bill the department thought amounted almost to the confiscation of the public domain, and it reported as being unalterably opposed to the measure. Then a plan was formed to pass a Nebraska law giving the public do main west of the 100th meridian In that state to the cattle companies under certain I restrictions for grazing purposes, but to this there was the same objection as to the general bill. The department Is In fa vor of some law that will protect the small grower of cattle, small ranchmen and homesteader against the big corporations that have millions of capital at their backs. When such a law is reported the department will be found actively engaged In helping Its passage, but the law must give it protection to the homesteader and to the email grower. No New Proposition. "The removal of the fences is no new proposition," continued ths secretary. The law has been on the statute books for many years, but no decisive action has been taken, except in Isolated cases, against the cattle growers because it has been a subject which It was thought would be taken up by congress and the' law amended.- Congress, however, has not acted and the time has come when some thing definite muBt be done to check the aggressiveness of the large growers of cat tle and on July 1 the fences will commence to come down and we will do what we can with the force at our disposal and the money appropriated to accomplish the re duction of the fences." Representative Burkett has recommended C. A. Leckllter for postmaster at Raymond, Lancaster county, vice O. W. Murphy. This office ha given Mr. Burkett a great deal of trouble. Some time ago the Postoffice de partment sent an inspector to Raymond to examine Into the workings of the office, The Inspector reported that Mr. Murphy was totally Incompetent on account of old age to perform the work of the office and be recommended Murphy's discharge. Mr. Burkett, appreciating the condition sur rounding Mr. Murphy, wa slow to act clong the lines of the Inspector's recom mendation. For some time things have gone on in this condition until the other day, when the Postoffice department made pre-emptory demand upon the repre sentativ from the First district to rec ommend a postmaster at that place, and today Mr. Leckllter' name wa sent to the fourth assistant postmaster general for appointment. Iovra Recommendations Bent In. The nomination decided upon by th Iowa delegation at it conference last Tuesday for United States district attor ney, marshal and collector were sent to the attorney general and secretary of the treasury yesterday morning, the auggeated nominations being signed by the entire Iowa delegation. The name were sub mltted to th cabinet meeting yesterday and favorable action taken thereon. Ow ing, however, to th early adjournment of the senate yesterday the cabinet officer having these nomination In charge could not prepare them for the president to be transmitted to the senate. It is thought however, that the name of those selected by th Iowa delegation for federal plaes 111 go to the senate on Monday. In this connection it is interesting to know that th name ot J. U. Sammla of Lemara went in with the rest for collector of th north ern district, although no dlreot advice baa com from Mr. Sammls Indicating whether be will or will not accept th office. Th chance are, however, that he will. Senator Dietrich Entertnlns. One ot th pleaaantest dinners of the season was given tonight at the New Wll- lard by Senator Dietrich to a number of his friends who have been enthusiastic sup porter of the Irrigation bill and it waa in commemoration ot th passage of that measure that the followln ggentlemen were drawn together: Ellhu Root, secre tary of war; 8enator Hanna, Hansbrough Fairbanks, Clark of Wyoming, Foster of Washington and Ktttredge; Representatives Burkett, Mercer, RoblnBon, Stark, Neville Newland and Mondell; ex-Senator J.

It wa learned by th authorities that he wa in th navy and Mr. Robinson waa asked to have th Navy department locate and hold th young man until requisition papers could be ob talned. It wa found that he waa on board th United State steamer Columbia a th Brooklyn navy yard and Sheriff Byrne proceeded to that place and 1 now on hi way to Nebraska with th prisoner. Th orj land Oc will la a very short time have a survey made of boundary Ines of th abandoned Fort Mcrherson military reservation In Nebraska. Efforts have been made for some time past to get resurvey made, but whenever a bill wa Introduced In congress and aubmltted to the Interior department for examination nd recommendation the department uni versally reported against such measure. Th determination of the department to re run the line of the reservation grow out of a controversy between Errlc E. Erlckson and Charles E. Falk for certain homesteads located on the eastern line of the reservation. In endeavoring to deter mine the relative merit of the parties to the controversy the department was unable to decide owing to conflicting survey and ccordlngly a resurvey was decided upon. The secretary of the Interior today af firmed the decision of the general land of- ce, rejecting th application of Fred W. Ashton to enter certain land In the Lincoln, Neb., land district.

For a distance of seven miles the Green river valley Is a sea of flames. Since noon yes terday Dr. Kloeber and the employes and guests of the Kloeber Green river hot springs bav been persistently fighting th fir to save the hotel. Steadily the fire was held bark and as sistance wa asked tor from Tacoma. which waa promptly aent by Mayor Campbell. Near Maywood, three miles below here, n lumber camp has been burned out. On each side 1 a seething furnace, so hot that the crew on the relief train was compelled o seek protection Inside the caboose while passing It. Morgan's camp, one mile down, Is partially destroyed, though It is thought th most valuable effects can be saved. At Canton, nine miles below Hot Springs, ars congregated the few settler and woods men of the vicinity. They declare th forest for miles around to be ablate. At Eagle Gorge the same condition exists and several smaller fire a'- reported within a radius of twenty-flv miles. The forest fires which caused such heavy loss yesterday had receded from Hot Springs, near the summit of the Cascade range, this morning, when the wind changed and began blowing back over the burned course. There Is no further danger unless a change ot wind occurs. The large hotel and health resort at Hot Springs were saved by the hardest kind of work on the part of the Tacoma fire department, which was sent out on a special train. The surrounding forests In th Cascade mountains are still aflame, but th most combustible material has been consumed and only the tree trunks ar left on which the fire can feed. TACOMA, Wash., June 21. The forest. ot course, will burn for several days, but the fires will not sperad unless another wind come up. The town of Buckley, containing 1,600 people,' was not out ot danger until t o'clock this morning. Three times during the night the long railroad trestle that crosses the . White river hers caught fire. Report received her (how the following propertied destroyed: Mountain Mill, Enumclaw; Morgan's lumber camp. May wood, Pierce county; railroad track and outbuildings of Kanaskat. Gould Black logging camp, Sultan, Sho- homish county. Lyman lumber camp, Hamilton Skagit county. rehm logging camp, near Shoqualmle, King county. These and many other ctmps have been burned during the progress of these fires, two of which started from locomotives and one from a blase in the Moutaln mill. At Falrharen the Homan shingle mill caught fire and burned last night and at Fern dale, near that point, Davis Bona' dry kiln, with 1,200,000 tons ot shingles, was burned. So far as can be learned no insurauce was carried on any of the lost mills, the rates being prohibitive.. Since the engines were sent away Tacoma has had four fires, one a brUBh fire ot consid erable proportions on th outskirts. The fires on the mountain, although thirty to fifty miles away, have made the weather almost unbearable in Tacoma and cloud of smoke still hang over th city.

In the pret ence ot a distinguished company of naval officers, many leading citizens from Colo rado, and a large number ot persons from New York and other nearby cities, the un- armored cruiser Denver wa sucsessfully launched this afternoon at th Neafie sY Levy shipyard. Mia Roberta M. Wright, daughter of Mayor Wright of Denver, christened the vessel. Elaborate preparations had been made tor th launching of Denver and th ship yard was gaily decorated with (lags and bunting for the occasion, but the bey ra'n spoiled the decorations. At 1 o'clock the delegation was driven to the big thlp, where they were received by President Seddlnger. Because of the heavy rainstorm the launching wa post poned until nearly 3 o clock. Mis Wright waa escorted to the platform by President Seddlnger. When all was in readiness and Just as th last blow which wa to release the new cruiser waa being atrur.k, Miss Wright stepped to th edge f .ha stand and broke the traditional '.ottle of charn pagn on the bow of the new addition to the United State navy. There wa tre mendous tooting ot whistles from tho ves sel lying at anchor close to th yard sud deafening cheer as Denver slid grace fully into th Delaware river.
