THE INDIAN AGENT. An Official About Whom the People Know but Little. HIS LARGE RESPC SIBILITY. ‘The Varied Acquirements That He Ought to Possess in Order to Fill His Position Ac- coptably—He Gets Little Aid From the De- partment—A Sample Day's Duties. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ae “pesnvinse, Nes, July 25, 1991. Scarcely less potential than the ezar of all the Russias is the average Indian agent. Among the people who inhabit the United States and ‘the territories thereof there is in circulation a general impression to the effect that monarch- ieal institutions are unknown from the Cana- dian boundary line to the Mio Grande. This idea is erroneous, for no monarch in these modern days could ever be crowned more auto- cratic in authority than those governmental delegates who have been inappropriately styled Indian agents.” Practically there ie no limit to the agent's power, not even constitutional barrier; that great document on which the national structure stands does not recognize the red man of the forest and the rairie. The Indian is not taxed and, there- fore, has no right save the right to exist as best he can. Because of the existence of this con- dition of affairs the utmost care should be taker in selecting those in whose hands the management of Indians is placed, and it is really wonderful that so littie ground for copper colored we glance but for a moment methods employed in_ making ap; Fesponsible positions in the Indian servic very nature of thi tions must have preference, and as a conse~ quence roum! men frequently get into square les: the results in such imstances being nimously disastrous. After while, pro- viding. of course, that the Indians don’t die in je mewntine ¢ atrangement may be made by which the good agents in the service will be ermanently retained and a civil service sys- ms devised which will recognize nothing but fitness in the matter of new appointments. THE AGENt's HANDS ARE TIED. The civilian agent of these days, powerful as he may be on the reservation over which he reigns, receives but little consideration at the bands of the authorities in Washington. He may desire todo much that would be really beneficial to the Indian, but bis hands are gen y Recommendations that mean a complaint exists when at the eat deal—affecting. for not only the wage. but the material progress of the great also—are remorselessly pigeon- holed should they not be in accord (and un- they frequently are not) with the temporary policy of the Indian bureau. In the absence of other easily understood terms “policy” seems to fit the case; it has fitted “it ever since the Indian bureau Was legisluted into existence, and it will continue to be the proper term until some mighty philanth; heaval or theab- sorption of the red destroy impract eal theories and chan; onditions. Not fora moment would I have any one suppose that my criticisms are directed «pecitically at_the pres- ent adminis! They are not. I am not endeavorit J the feelings of any one.

It may be that the agent will report the matter to some of his superiors and if they pursue the investigation they invariably bump up against a greater than they—aSenator or two, perhaps, of the congressional delegations of one or more states. No agent who desires to retain bis position will ever go through that experience more than once.

On a reserva~ ton which is the bome of five or six thousand Indians these domestic troubles occupy a good deai of the agent's time. WHAT HE MUST DO AND KNOW. The agent is required to register all births, marriages and teaths: must be a financier and an expert bookkeeper, or the Indian office and the Treasury Department will swallow his sal- afy and seize upon bis official bond: he must ave « thorough knowled, of horses and cat- Ue, their wd treatment; should be both an architect and builder: ought to have the scienc 2. ailing irrigation, at Bis fingers’ ends; must have a more than or- inary insight into the mechan: Sequaintance with shoult be accurate becalled upon t mister mi ne, pull teeth ant set fractured bones; he must be chief of police end sanitary officer or hix agency will bis al trades; his on and statute law he will frequently i pe unfailing.

To formulate anything that looks like e policy and to carry it out is practically impos- | sible uniess that poter happens to meet with rare favor in the Indian bureau. A policy in which business supplants sentiment strangely enough meets with but little encouragement at headquarters and gets none from the Indians. A SPECIMEN DAY'S WORK. A specimen day's work at a big agency is pre- sented for the consideration of men who are seeking appointments to Indian agencies. This ticular agent got up on this particular day | Bt his regeiar Gour’-S30—went round ike stables, corrals and shops and saw that every one was at work. The employes are not sivas zealous; frequently they are clients of poli- ticians, who rid themselves of their importan- ities by putting them inthe Indian service. Such men are rarely efficient, and they arc | almost always more or less insubordinate, re- lying upon their influence for ‘un- questioning support. When the first [tour of inspection was over _ the agent unreasonably enough took a sufficiency of time in which to dispose of breakfast and | then he went to the office. Even at that early hour Indians were awaiting his coming. An | Indian never listens sincerely to any one but | the agent, and to him he has to go when he wants wagon or harness repaired or has any other desire. Each Indian always wants extra | rations: this never faila. ‘Then there was a | horse trade to settle. One Indian sold another a horse twelve months before and after waiting | vainly for his money appealed to the agent to help him get the cash or the horse. No sooner was this dis] of reservation applies for a permit to look for lost stock. He secures his permit and a policeman is sent with him to see that only the settler's cattle are driven off. Then more Indians appeared, all of them bent on seeing only the agent. ‘That unfortunate individual stood the increasing pressure as long as he could; then he went out to supervise the erection jof s couple of new buildings and to enjoy a general walk around. For an hour you could see him everywhere. Just about noon the mail arrived and the letters tofiched twenty subjects. Some people wanted pori- tions in the schools or at the agency. others sought contracts: all of them wanted some- thing and nearly all of them had to be an- |swered. ‘They could not be answered then, 60 | the agent stacked them upon his desk and went jtolunch. Then a special agent of the Interior Department wanted the bigger Indians in for a talk. Policemen were seut out to gather those in who were near the agency, and when the In- dians arrived there was a council, at which the agent, of course, was present. Extra rations were called forand that involved moreexertion, for no rations can be issued except on an order signed by the agent. ‘The department does not sliow extra rations, but the Indian must and ought to have them. He is officially called away from his home and his home supply o food and I don’t see why those who called him should uot feed him while he is obliging them When the council isover two- | thirds of the Indians who participated in it | will have something to say to the agent. Then two of the farmers from the outlying districts made their appearance and consulted with the , agent about needed supphes. TWO MARRIAGES AND OXE DIVORCE. Following their departure came two Indian couples to be married and while the second ceremony was being performed the parties to a divorce suit entered the office and waited for their turn. Then the multiplicity of reports— some received,some sent—bad to be attended to; bills of lading end receipts, all in_ triplicate, were closely scanned. After dinner this | agent returned to his office and there wrote | letters until 11 o’elock—he had no correspond- | ence clerk. For six days a week this was the regular program, with occasional additions— supervision of issues, inspection and weighing of beef and other such trifles. On Sunday he locks himself in his office and tries to catch up with his correspondence and balance his cash; ly he does not catch up. All the time he harassed by petty details, and he. therefore, as but little opportunity to give the broader field of Indian affairs any degree of attention. He should be thoroughly conversant with the reservation, but that is impossible; time cannot bemade in which he could visit the various dis- tricts. Whathe needsis a general superintend- ent: some one who can look after minor mat- ters in all the departments: somebody to keep eye or two on the employes. As a matter of fact each reservation should | have three agents: One to talk to the Indians, jone to wrestic with and fight the department | and oue to supervise matters at the agency and on the reservation.

The officers and directors of the Pan-Ameri- can Transportation Company, an organization | formed for the purpose of putting on lines of steamers between the southern ports of the United States and the principal ports of South America, Central America and the West Indies, are in session in Chicago, and will probably continue in consultation for several days. The purpose is to map out the work more com- pletely and perfect arrangements for the float- ing of additional aecurities to carry it on to the amount of $1,000,000. Dr. W. 0. Kulp of Gal- veston, Tex., treasurer of the company, says that | success is assured. He says it has been decided | | to move the headquarters of the company from | | Mobile, Ala.. to Chicago, which is to be made the central distributing points for all products toand from South America. The doctor de- clares that this will revolutionize the distribu- tion of meats and flour. For instance, flour which is now sent to the West Indies by way of | Liverpool will be sent from Chicago direct. “The possibilities to the United States and | the world, in fact,” said the doctor, are “enor- mous enough almost to scem visionary. Within ter the lines are established the United States will have as much carrying trade as any nation, and the American flag will be seen on all waters of the globe.” He declined to give the names of the capi- talists back of the scheme, but said that they were the ame people who were instrumental | in framing and passing the steamship mail sub- sidy bill. | Fhe original capital stock of €10,000,000 has | already been subscribed, but the company has authority to increase it to €100,000,000. ‘The officersare J. B. Clarke of Chicago, pres!- dent; H. C. Kuttan of Chicago, vice president; F. L. Dana of Galveston, ‘Tex, secretary, and | Dr. W. C. Kulp of Galveston, treasurer. The directors are A. P. Chamberlain, Des M A. Gray, Chicago: Howell Jones, Topel | with his presence. Kan.; lord Clark, Mobile, Ala.; A. 8. Bean, Gal- on. ‘he ports from whieh the lines are intended to run are Galveston, New Orleans, Mobile and ‘Tampa. There will’ be three lines from Gal- veston and Tampa each and ene and possibly two from the other ports named. The project contemplates the building of at least twenty | steel steamships under the provision#of the | mail subsidy bul. The vessels must be built of American material, by American labor and manned by Americans. By the subsidy act the last line miust be in full operation within three years and the company confidently expects to ‘accomplish this. ee MUST PRESERVE THE SALMON. Minister Tapper Explains the Reasons for Ketusing Net Licenses in Canada. In the Cunadian house last evening Mr. Fauvel, member for Bonaventure, a fishing constituency on the Baie des Chaleurs, charged ‘that the government were administering the | fishery Iaws in the interest of American spocts- men on the Restigouche and other salmon | rivers. Minister of Fisheries Tupper held that | net fishermen in the estuaries were their own | greatest enemies by the methods they em- | ployed, which prevented the run of salmon up | the streams. The policy of the department in | refusing the renewal of net licenses as they lapsed incidentally benefited American and Canadian lessees of these salmon streams, but | was primarily a matter of necessity to the preservation of fish, and therefore a benefit to the shore fishermen as well. | | Minister of Finance Foster will shortly intro- | duce # resolution providing for the payment of |® government bounty of $1 per hundred | pounds oa all beet rvot sugar made in Canada | trom one year after July 1, 1592.

At the same time, while this forced inactivity kept the Seuators at a standstill, their dire enemies, the Colonels of Louisville, took a spurt and went | ahead several points by defeating the Athletics. | Such performances as this, ted through many days, will soon bring Nationals to their old place again, despite the efforts of Shannon and his forces from Omaha. ‘There was such a small crowd in Louisvilie that so great a shock, distributed over so small asurface, must have been very tremendous in ite individual effects. ‘The additional fact that the victims were shut out was enough to bring the excitement to the point where men lose their intellects. The score was 6 to 0 agninst the Athietics. | Stratton and Cahill and Chamberlain and Milligan were in the points, and the two pitchers were very strongly contrasted. Stration was altogether beyond the reach of the Philadelphians, while Cham- berlain was just what the blue grass folks liked. Louisville made four hits and two errors and the Athletics one hit and two errors. There were 300 [wegen present. _Baltimore pulled out well in the last two in- nings, and by putting in some extra hard hits, aided by a little rattled playing on the part of Columbus, won in a gallop by the score of 7 to 5. | ‘The batteries were Knell and Donohue and Bakely, Madden, Townsend and Robinson. Bakely was put in the box in place of Mad- den in the third inning, after the Columbus hitters had been having a pienic, and he pitched very good ball during the remainder of the game. “Baltimore made 8 hits and 3 errors and Columbus 7 hits and 3 errors. Boston was in bad batting form and McGill was in good pitching shape, so that the com- bination worked badly ior the Benneaters in the game at St. Louis. ‘The score was 8 to 3. ‘The batteries were McGill and Boyle and Grif- fith and Murphy. St. Louis made 10 hits and 4 errors and Boston 3 hits and 1 error. BALL NOTES. In Cincinnati today. In Columbus Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day. ‘The Colonels are now closing the gap rapidly.

Correspondence of The Evenin: Star, Favquizr SvLPHUR Sprrxas, August 1, 1991. All night long in my dreams I saw them pass—those splendid figures of the ancient tourney, Arthur, fair and godlike, enveloped in the halo of his saintly kingwhip; the dark- browed Launcelot, to whom from her high seat bent down Guinevere to send one brilliant, tender glance into bis sombre eyes; Ivanhoe, Richard Ceur de Leon, one by one on they came, until poor, lovable old Don Quixote feebly ambled across the scene like the ciown at the end of the circus parade, and +o ended the brilliant procession. Then { awoke to realize it was the day of our tournament. The perfection of a day it was, too, with a clean cool breeze blowing straight from the mount- ains and just enough cloudiness in the sky to temper the midsummer sunshine to that of early autumn. ‘A BRILLIANT ARRAY. At3 o'clock the knights assembled in front of the hotel and presented » very showy ap- pearance as they awaited the charge, their lances at rest, the coats of their beautiful horses sleek and shining, and they themselves arrayed according to the latest notions of Fauquier chivalry and the weather. Across their shirts of mail (only they didn’t spell them quite that way) were bright sashes of various colors passing from the right shoulder to the Iett sight, whence the en “ee they rode. Some wore colo1 iped trousers to match the said shirte and all wore ridi boots of every style and description, into whic! .the trousers were sometimes tucked and some- times not, according tothe fancy of the wearer. ‘The charge, delivered by Mr. N. T.N. Robinson of Fauquier, consisted of a fow well- chosen remarks, and then the contest began. Those taking part were Messrs. Richard Moffat, Knight of Chance; J. A. Massie, Knight of Blacksburg; G. B. Davin, Knight of Fauquier; ‘Travers Daniel, Knight of Richmond; Walter Payne, Knight ‘of Kneedwood: Henry Davis, Knight of Cobber; Edward Yates, Knight of Reeuwood, and Geo. Cooper, Knight of the Silver Wave. ‘The successful ones were Mosars, Yates, Daniel, Cooper and Davis, and whatever may be said of the costumes there is but one opinion to be expressed of their riding, which was superb THE CORONATION CEREMOXY. At 8:30 the doors of the handsomely deco- rated ball room were thrown open tothe guests and soon after a procession entered, consisting of the victors, the ladies of their choice, the chaperones of the ball, Mra. John L. Mill of Washington, in helictrope nilk and pearls; Mrs. 8. 8. Richardson of Baltimore, in black lace and diamonds; Mra. Jas. P. Jeffries of Warrenton, in manve silk and pearls, and little Miss Nan Jeffries, ina little blue gown and her own bright eyes and rosy cheeks her prettiest orna- ments. “After a very witty and appropriate ad- dress by Hon. Jas. P. Jeffries ot Warrenton, full of sentiment alike complimentary to the ladies and creditable to the speaker, the coronation took place. ‘Ihe queen, Misa Newton of Washington, was very appropriately dressed in white and very gracetuily received his token, the crown, irom the victorious Knight of Fairfield, Mr. Edward Yates. Miss Cochran of Culpeper, in white lace, was chosen first maid of honor by Mr. Travis Daniel; Miss Myers of Fauquier, in biack net, gold trim- ming, second by Mr. George Cooper, and Miss Meklitfe of Baltimore, in cream mull, by Mr. George Davis. After a quadrille danced exclusively by the royal party the general ball began, and, judging by the number of hours it was kept up, must have proved a very enjoya- ble affair to all parties.

Einstein of No. 247 Broadway. Mr. Backer was the capitalist of the firm of A. Backer & Co., dry goods commission merchants at 285 Broadway. He also manufactured goods at Glastonbury, Conn., where he has a fine mill. Their goods were principally for the southern trade, Mr. Backer having been a mer- chant in the south for many years, and going to New York twenty-seven years ago. His orig- inal business in the south was principally in | groceries und liquors. Then he got into the collar business, later with collar goods and then into commercial paper. Mr Backer's assignment, it is said, is princi- pally due to the condition of the money mar- ket, which made it very difficult for him to float the quantity of commercial paper which he generally bandied, and also to the decline in THE PRESIDENT’S BUSY DAY. Last Night He Donned Evening Drese and Attended a Concert at Cape May. Yesterday was about the busiest the President has had since becoming summer cottager. The mass of correspondence and official busi- ness was enormous, keeping him busy until late in the afternoon. After the President had gone through about as much of the correspondence as he desired, he left the cottage and walked up the beach as faras Cape May and returned in the cars. There seems to be a sort of im- pression at Cape May that several members of the cabinet will be down during the latter part cf the week to consult with the President rela- tive tomatters of considerable national interest. As to what members of the cabinet will be down is not known, but four st least are expected. just after dinner a number of children from the Seaside Home called at the cottage and their respects to Benjamin Harrison McKee and Mary Lodge McKee. During the stay of the little ones they sang several times and then a couple of the more youthful of the party gave recitations. The President, with Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Dim- mick and Mrs. Eaton, attended the concert and tableaux vivants given at the Hotel Chalfonte last night. The entertainment was given in aid of St. Margaret's House, a local institution supported by St. Clement's and St. Mark’s parishes in Philadelphia. The President was met by Col. Sewyer. who was one of his aids during the rebellion. Col. Sawver escorted the President end Thomas Robb. jr., took charge of Mrs. Harrison. As the President and the others came up the crowded room the orchestra played “Hail to the Chief,” and the large audience cheered and applauded the President until be had reached the farthest end of the room, where thestage had been erected and seats reserved. When the President, who was the last to sit down, took his seat a number of the students from the University of Pennsylvania, who were in the audience, iet loose their college cry. Independent of the charitableside of the enter- tainment the President seemed to regard the occasion in the light of a social af and msde his appearance in evening dress for the first time during the three summers he has spent at Cape May. Mrs. Harrison wore ® handsome damassa silk, low coreage, trimmed with handsome iace and cut steel ornaments and many of ner handsomest jewels. Mra. Eaton, the President's sister, was dressed in Plain biack silk. Mrs. Dimmick’s gown was of pure white. Ail Cape May society was out. ies Aeris aici A SCENE AT SARATOGA. Mrs. Henry Hilton Causes Jt Through a Case of Mistaken Identity. Since the famous edict barring a whole race out of the Grand Union Hotel of Saratoga was iseued few social matters have created a greater sensation in Saratoga than the ejectment of ‘Miss Eloise Willis and Mrs. G. W. Lente from the Windsor, where the two women had been stopping for a short time. Miss Willis is an actress, who was formerly connected with the Wallach company, und was alsoa member of the Inte John McCullough’s company. Mrs. G. W. Lente isa lady whose late husband wasa well-known New York physician. Through what seems to have been a case of mistaken identity, Miss Willis and Mrs. Lento were grossly insulted by Mrs. Henry Hilton. Miss Willis and Mrs. Lente were guests at Judge Hilton's aristocratic Windsor Hotel, where they made many acquaintances and became very popular. oth Mios Willis and Mrs. Lente present a very attractive appearance, aud display great taste in dress. Miss Willis is of medium height, and has dark brown hair. She has large brown eyes that are very attractive. She has the gen- eral dashing appearance one expects to find in an actress. Mra. Lente is a little below medium height, and is of powerful build. She is a blonde, and would pass anywhere as a handsome woman. It appears that Mrs. Henry Hilton, who is @ frequent visitor to her father-in-law's hotel, mistook either Miss Willie or her companion, Mrs, Lente, for a Miss Smith, about whom many unpleasant stories have been circulated. In the opinion of Mrs. Hilton, who is a New Yorker, she was altogether too fond of a friend of Mrs. Hilton's husband. It is claimed by several persons who are stopping at the Wind- sor that Mrs. Hiton made known to them her dixhke of the two New York ladies upon the supposition that one of them wax Miss Smith, and some of the remarks that she made about them were far from flattering. A week ago last Saturday a dinner party was riven at Crum’s which Miss Willis and Mrs. eute attended. At this establishment Mrs. Hilton has a private locker in which is keptan assortment of china ware, cut glass ware aud other table ware. A gentleman of the party Who stands very cloge to the Hiltca family had a key that fitted the locker, and it is said ,he opened it and used some of Mrs. Hilton's things for the dinner party. ‘The same day Mrs, Hil- ton Jearned in some way that her locker had been opencd und her things axed. She exam- ined the register kept at Crum’s of the guests visiting the place. She saw the names of Miss Willis and Mre. Lente, and at once jumped at the conclusion that they must be the ones who had opened her locker. Hastening to the Windsor Hotel. Mrs. Hilton demanded to see Miss Willis and her compan- jon, Tt was plnin that Mrs, Hilton was very much excited. She was angry, and the people about the hotel realized that it she met the New York ladies an animated scese would follow. Naturully, the hotel employes used as much diplomacy ax possible to prevent a meot- ing. Mre. Hilton was very determined, and she was not to be put off by evasive answers. She proposed to have a thorough search of the hotel made for “those women.” In the dining room she found seated Mrs. Lente and her friend, Miss Willis. There were also a number of other people taking their meal in the room. She marched over to where they were seated and poured out upon them her volley of angry words. certain southern railroad bonds in which he was a large holder. His trouble. it is said, in relation to southern railroad bonds was the re- sult of his connection with the Macon Construc- on em pany of Macon, Ga. fhe Macon Construction Company got in trouble last Mareh, and W. B. Sparks, the pres: ident, was appointed temporary receiver on the application of MeTighe & Co., railroad con- tractors. Mr. Bucker, it is said, ient the Macon Construction Company a lai amount of money, which he hus been unable to recover. His friends cannot understand how he came to get in so heavily, ds he was regarded as a v shrewd and carefu! business man. A friend said yewterday that if he had not gone into that company he would have been all right, as his regulyr business was profitable, and be was wappowea to i worth over $500,000. is linbilities are said to be about $4,000,000, of which 22,500,000 is direct and $1,500,000 contingent. ‘The assets, according to one who is familiar with Mr. Backer’s affairs, include about 1,500,000 of the bonds of the Georgia South- ernand Florida railroad and the Macon and Birmingham railroad; about $750,000 Alabama tate bonds and a large amount of other secur- valuable mill ., and $150,000 to $200,000 worth of re ity. ‘The trouble, he said, was entirely due to tight money and losses ih conneetion with the Macon Construction Ccm- pany and the decline in the securities of the southern railroads which he had invested in. ———_—_+es_____ Bishop Keane Preached the Sermon. The new parochial school of St. Joseph’ parish, Newport, R. I, just completed ata cost of $50,000, was formally dedicated on Sun- day. Thirty visiting priests and bishops were in attendance. ‘The principal sermon wae by Bishop Keane of Washington. Bishop Harkins of Rhode Island created great surprise by an- nouncing that the building woul be culled the Hazard Memorial School, in honor of George Babcock Hazard, who, although not a Cathobe, bears one-half the cost of its construction. and he was given the blossing of the bishop. bastbevaeomae~ Sean ‘Will Match Kingston Against Tenny. ‘M. F. Dwyer has decided not to match Long- street against Tenny again if he can consist- ently avoid it? Mr. Dwyer has no doubt that Longstreet would win, but, as he said yester- day, it would be hard to convince the public that there was not some hippodrome business about the whole affair if Tenny should happen toturn the tables on tho present champion. Mr. Dwyer declares that Longstreet is pounds better than Kingston, in fact, can beat Kin fon at any distance. If Mr. Pulsifer is after satisfaction Mr. Dwyer says he will match Kingston against Tenny at a mile and an eighth, the race to be run at Jerome Park. would give Kingston a chance to get even with Tenny tor the defent in the Ocean stakes.

This is as cheap as , considering the difference in bulk of the two metals, and the announcement First she charged them with having opened her locker out at the road house. Miss Willis and Mrs. Lente were too loyal to shift the guilt from their own shoulders to that of the proper person, as they knew that they would only get him into trouble, 30 they contented themselves with only entering a gentle protest. ‘This only made Mrs. Hilton more firm in her belief that the was correct as to her charge, and also that one of the women was Mise Smith. She then in astill louder tone of voice made more general charges against the New Yorkers, who naturally became very indignant . Hilton next insisted that the women should be compelled to leave the hotel and so informed the manager, Mr. Lester. This placed that gentleman in an exceedingly embarrassing position. He could not afford to disobey so potent a member of the Hilton family and still ne had little excuse for asking Miss Willis and Mrs. Lente to vacate. ‘They had conducted themselves, be says, with the Greatest propriety, and to order them away would only be to invite a suit for damages against the hotel. In some way the matter wae patched up and Mrs. Lente and Mise Willis remsined at the Windsor until just Monday, when they left and went to the United States Hotel. Before they had fully arranged for apart- ments at the States it is seid that at Mrs, Hil- ton’s instigation the proprietors of the States were informed of the ladies’ experiences at the Windsor.
