COMMISSIONER PRICE AND MR. PARKER BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEZ INVESTIGATING INDIAN LAND LEASES, ‘The Senate investigation of Indian leased lands was resumed to-day, Mr. M. M. Parker, of Wash- }ing, being first sworn. He testified that he did re- celve the telegram from E. B, Townsend, which the latter produced, asking witness to ascertain if the Indian commissioner would object to his (Townsend) signing a lease, !n view of the fact that he intended soon to resign; that he (witness) took the telegram to Mr. Price, who, after reading 1t, sald there would be no objection. Mr. Parker testified that upon receiving the answer of Com- Intssioner Price, he (Parker) sent to Townsend the reply which the latter produced in his testimony the other day. Commissioner Price was next called. He testi- fled that he did not remember giving Mr. Parker any such information as the latter testified. He remembered that Mr. Parker called upon him and asked something about Townsend. His recollec- tion was that Parker asked when Townsend would return. Mr. Price said that unless confronted with the testimony of Mr. Parker he would say that he never gave any eonsent to the proposition alleged to have been submitted to him. He went on to draw a distinction between what Townsend as an Indian agent might have done that,woula have been Hight and what would have been wrong. He sald that if Townsend had confined himself to pro- curing taformation about leases, with the intention of executing the leases after his resignation that would have been proper; but if he entered into any Jease while in the Indian service that would have been wrong. Mr. Price was very positive that had his attention been called to Townsend’s request, a8, conveyed in the dispatch to Parker, in a manner 50 Uhat he understood it, he would have emphatically refused to consent to an agent of the bureau enter- ing into a lease.

It is the pleasing part alloted to me to present to you the evidence that vou have enjoyed the educational advantages which terminate to-day. The cause of education 1s so im- portant in a country where the intelligence and per training of the people lle at’ tne foundation of the safety of the state that no patriotic citizen |.can fail to be interested in an occasion of this kind where an Institution so useful and so distinguished as our normal school sends forth so large a class fully equipped for the battle of life and for the dis- charge of the duties which await them as Ameri- can men and women. Some of you will, I suppose, in the capacity of teachers, guide and direct those who will look forward to a graduation Gay which shall, like yours, be full of satistac- ton aud hope. You will owe to them a sacred duty, and your parent school has the right to demand at your hands that her influence, which by your teaching will be en! and broadened, ‘Shall lose none of the salutary and benificent char- acter with which ft rests on you at this hour, and those of you who shall follow other ways of life are in duty Bound to do honor by achieving success and usefulness in the light of her inspiration. We Will not harbor the thought to-day that, the diplo- Mas which you are about to recelve will ever re- mind you of school hours wasted or opportunities unimproved; but rather we will hope that they will be souvenirs of happy days and of associations which through life you may pleasantly cherish.
