John Hay, McKinley's sccre- dary of state, pronounced a eulogy upon his dead chief. Four times before national memorial services, for presidents who hawe died in office have been held in this ball, two of them, like this, in commemoration of chief magistrates who have fallen by the hand of assassins. Gearge Bancroft, the historian, pronounced the eulogy on charge of W. F. Haygood, chief clerk at the agency, also the discharge of Indian Farmer David St. Cyr. Upon the que tion of Indian leases and conduct of the agency, the report, it is understood, rec- ommends the abandonment of the present mode of leasing and the removal of Agent Mathewson. McComas, it is said, investi- gated the leasing question exhaustively and believes that some plan could be de- vised that would bring a larger measure of return to the Indians than at present and that would do away with the favor- ftism that is alleged to bave existed on the part of the agent toward certaln mid- dlemen who control large land holdings.
