A Laramie man recently wrote to
Hon. w. w. Corlett asking him to
learn if the Government proposed to
Immediately prosecute all parties who
have been cutting timber on public
lands in Wyoming. Following is an
extract from Mr.. Corlett's reply:
I'm reply 1 have to Say that 1 have
succeeded in obtaining an interview
with the Honorable Commissioner of
the General Land Office, to whom l
presented the points contained in your
letter, and such others as occurred to
me, as reasons why no raid should be
made upon the citizens of Wyoming at
this time. I was assured by the Com
missioner that it was the intention of
the Secretary of the Interior to enforce
the law relating to the cutting of tim
ber on the public lands in all cases, and
that in no case hereafter would such
matter be compromised by the payment
of stumpage or any other device. The
Commissioner, however, further as
sured me that no steps would be taken
to enforce the law in Wyoming at pres
ent, for the want of funds wherewith
to make proceedings effectual, and that
he thought that we could rest secure
until such time as Congress could have
an opportunity to legislate upon the
subject and, if it chose, rectify the
difficulties in the present state of the
law, to which 1 had called his attention.
The Secretary evidently believes in the
maxim that if law is bad one it
ought to be so vigorously enforced as to
lead to its repeal or modification.

Woods Museum Destroyed by Fire.
Chicago, Oct. 23.-Woods' museum
caught fire this morning at @ O'Clock,
and the portion containing the theatre
was completely gutted. Chaplin & Cores
liquor establishment was badly dam
aged by water. The museum animals
all died from suifocation. John r.
Walsh is proprietor and Tony Denier
lessee of the museum and theatre, the
loss ON which is estimated at $4,000 to
$4,000. Chaplin 6 Gore estimate their
loss at $4,000. These are regarded as
outside figures. The insurance on all
the property injured is two or three
times the amount of the loss. The thea
tire was the first one built after the
great fire and has had precarious ex-
istence ever siuce.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Republican
senators and representatives friendly to
the administration are earnestly en-
deavoring to draw from the President
an authoritative Interpretation of his
order concerning office-holders' partici-
patton in politics, which shall officially
state that it was not intended to forbid
ofiice-holders from actively supporting
party nominations, but only to prevent
their debating whom the party should
nominate. These friends of the Pres
ident have advised at least two mem-
bers of the Cabinet that If he does not
take some such action the Republicans
will certainly lose all the states in
which elections will be held next
month, after which they intimate that
he need expect no consideration with
his party. There is good deal of anx-
iety expressed regarding the probable
introduction of resolution in the
House endorsing the presidential poll
cy, and several of the House party
leaders say that although they do not
intend to antagonize the President,
they are not quite ready to endorse or
disapprove his course, and will there
fore do all they can to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of any such resolution.
None can now be introduced under the
rules before Monday, at the earliest.
Newspaper publications of the doings
of private caucuses of state delegations
are denounced as infamous betrayals of
confidence. 1t happens, however, that
many Republicans attend these meet
ings who don't believe in the ostrich
policy, and who refuse to allow any
clique of men for their own purpose to
keep from the pubic the very acts of
their representatives, and so the public
is pretty well informed Of the senti-
ment here. The fact is patent that
many Republicans in Congress disagree
with the President on some features of
his policy. The most astonishing fea-
ture is that the experienced Cabinet
and members should think the public
deceived as to the real sentiments of
the party, or that final adjustment of
the difference can be avoided by post
ponement. The plans already proposed
for adjusting the difference are as cow
ardly as impolitic. The few leaders
declare party unity paramount. Others
say that skilled Democratic politicians
will soon compel the House to meet the
issues pending squarely and directly,
and approve or disapprove of the ad-
ministration, and that every Republic
can member must be left to vote ac-
cording to conviction, regardless of the
result.

JAY GOULD, representing the Union
Pacific, and Huntington, the Central
Pacific. are in Washington, it is under
stood, to induce the Secretary of the
Treasury and Secretary of the Interior
to recommend to Congress the plan
heretofore submitted by the companies
for the liquidation of their interest in
debtedness to the government, namely,
the annual payment into the U. s.
treasury of s5OO,00o by each company,
to constitute, in connection with their
earnings for government -transporta-
tion, sinking fund to repay the in
terest advanced by the government.

The High Blantyre Horror.

London, Oct. 23.-The work Of ex-
ploring the colliery at High Blantyre,
in which the explosion occurred yester'
day, proceeded through the night.
Four miners were discovered alive
about II O'Clock, but in such an ex-
hausted condition that one died before
morning, and another is hopelessly
PROSTATE. Mining experts say that
all of the men in the pits perished, but
even if any are alive no rescue party
can reach them in less than eight or
ten days. The work of bringing up the
dead was resumed this morning. All
of the bodies are fearfully burned and
mangled. The explosion was of ter
rifle violence.

WASHINGTON.


Chicago, Oct. 23.-The Times Wash
ington special says: The English mis-
sion having for long time gone a
begging, and Secretary Evarts having
dropped Don Cameron a note request
ing his advice as to who should have
it, that the Senator was too delicate to
suggest his father, but called a meeting
of Republicans from Pennsylvania at
his house, and they unanimously set
tied on Simon Cameron as the man for
the place. The cabinet has the matter
under advisement, and it is difficult to
see how Simon's appointment can now
be avoided. 1t is stated that the Pres
ident has said that if Congress passes a
bill repeating the resumption act he
will veto it.

Eastern capitalists, who propose to
construct the narrow gauge railroad
from Deadwood to Central, are now en-
route west, and their arrival is daily
expected. Should pending negotia-
tions result favorably, as they in all
probability will, the work of grading
will commence by Nov. LIST, and the
road, thoroughly stocked, will be in
operation within sixty days thereafter.
But little change in the route as origi-
nally surveyed, and none in the termini
has been made. The road will start
from Sherman street and run up the
gulch two miles to about the centIe of
Central City. 1t is proposed to use the
dummies" and other material of the
Denver narrow gauge street railroad.
The project meets with the utmost IA

pie decline to interest themselves in
the work, an abundance of capital can
be instantly secured from parties now

Though the Indians lately visiting
Washington asked for ovefcoats, it is
not in a red mans nature ever to ac-
knowledge that he is cold. He may be
nearly stripped of covering, and have
his back leaning against a nor''easter
blizzard, but he will not let on that he
is not warm. An old Omaha Indian
came prowling around one cold day in
Nebraska city, not many moons
since. and all he had to shelter his per-
son was an old piece of blanket. SIN
jun cold?" asked sympathetic citizen.
"Me no cold," grunted the native.
what" exclaimed the man, ''you
not cold, and bare-skinned as you are?"
ugh, ugh, white mans face bare"
said the Indian interrogatively-
sswhite mans face coldP'' "No," re-
piled the citizen, ''of course my face
amt cold,' upon which the old copper
face triumphantly grunted: ugh! ugh!
Injun all face!'' This and similar
experiences only serve to prove
that we tell nothing but the ex-
act truth in saying that an In
dian might be fsozen to death, but
would never acknowledge it.

The art practiced by the bald-headed
men to cover up their shining polls
surpasseth understanding. Now, there's

eye you would think there was no
deception. But Boggs, mild blue eye
and all, has cultivated tuft of hair
behind one of his ears that, when
combed out, is as long as rakehandle.
This tuft Boggs coils up over his bald
spot to hide that part of his anatomy
from the eyes of the curious. 1t works
like a charm, except in windstorm.
