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

Quakers.

(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.

(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

Congressman Robinson received a tele
gram today dated at New York, from J. C
Byrne, sheriff of Piatt county, Nebraska,
to th effect that he had captured Alex
ander C. Cosloaskl of Duncan, Neb., who
waa wanted in Piatt county for an as
aault upon on Agne Mostlk of Duncan
aged 17. The defendant fled and enlisted
in th navy April 29, 1902. 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.
