number of small tracts of land in the Yellow
stone National park for period of ten years.
The lease comprises seven tracts of land, +,
aggregating ten acres, and it is provided that

one-quarter of a mile of any of the geysers or
the Yellowstone falls. The term of the lease
is ten years from Mar. 0, 1888. The parties of
the second part agree to construct one princi-
pal hotel at the Mammoth Hot springs to cost
$150,000 and to contain not less than $50

smaller hotels upon plans to be hereafter ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior at the

praisement and appropriation of the amount
agreed upon, with aproviso that nothing con-
tanned in the lease shall be construed to bind
the government to any compensation.
The annual rental agreed upon is So per
acre. The lessees agreed to observe all the
rules and regulations established by the sec
retary of the interior for the government OF

modating the public.

The London Times loftiy remarks:
We have good reason to believe that theinquiry
now proceeding will impllcato the land league
beyond doubt in the immediate patronage of
crime in Ireland even If II does not establish its
direct connection with the "Invincibles." The
flight of Patrick Egan, unless explained is q
moral acknowledgment of guilt, from the damn
ing consequences of which none of his associates
can escape. Unless Egan can clear his own char
aeter and those Of his associates we shall not be
surprised TO learn that the leaders Of the land
league who still remain in the United Kingdom
may shortly fnd 1t convenient to follow Egans
example.
So says a cable dispatch of the tenth i'm
stant Owe" means the Englishman who
wrote the editorial. "The good reason" means
the flight of Patrick Egan," who fed from
nothing, andwas as free to go and come as
any one of his enemies. Why everybody who
has ever been an associate of Egan is to be
| subjected to the damning consequences" of
something unnamed supposed by eve" to
have been done by Egan is somewhat obscure.
The opinion of the Times editor that the fail
ure of Egqh to "clear his own character and
those of his associates" will shorten the stay
in Ireland of Irishmen not in British employ
| is as absurd as it is ungrammatical and reads
as though it might have been the result
either Of too much porter with his beef or too
much gravy on his pudding. The land
league is an organization embracing thou
sands of members. The idea that anything
done or omitted by any one member, or falsely
charged upon him, could be made the basis OF
q reign of terror in which ireland should be
| left to the reyels of informers and English
soldiers, while all the land leaguers fled
TO parts unknown, is false creation, pro
ceeding from the beer.oppressed brain
But the extract was given not fol
serious comment, but to show the reader
what execrable trash the great Thunderer
the London Times, deems it worth while t.
put forth as editorial opinion on the Irisl
| situation. On the same day of the Times
rather incoherent utterances Mr.. Trevelyan
chief secretary for Ireland, assured the houst
of commons that 1.-THE condition of Ireant
was moro tranquil than il had been for somC

A man may lawfully differ with Whitelaw

His words were:
Robertson should be held firm, and If n change

suit Robertson. Merritt would do perfectly well

ind ipcnsible that The sarucyorship should be Kept IN

1t has been brought forward at nearly every

year ago, it was cabled that both the Prince

in the house of lords by virtue of the ducal
titles they possess favored the bill. 1t was
