THE PRESIDENTS PARTY.
The Trip Drawing to CIose-A Denial of
the Truth of Certain Sensational
kilograms.

CAMP ALsbsoN, Yellowstone Canon, Aug
H.-Leaving Yellowstone Lake al 6:25 this
morning the Presidents party journeyed
eighteen miles over a splendid trail to this
point. The road was equal to any turnpike
in the States, and on the way the party
halted at the wonderful mud geysers, one OF
them known as the Editor Hate, and one as
the Devils Cauldron. As the party looked
into the first and listened to the rush and
roar OF the seething water and mud that
etcrnally boils, but finds no outlet it was
generally remarked that the place
was properly named. The canon
of the Yellowstone on which
we are now camped SURPRISES description in
grandeur. The two falls between which we
have pitched our camp are equal in subimi-
ty and beauty to any upon the continent,
Leaping and rushing between precipices of
red and yellow rock. the Yellowstone river
seems to tear its way through the solid
mountains, leaving in it's pathway forms of
uucouth and awful majesty seen nowhere
else. Mingled with these scenes of nature,
we find here also the inevitable tourist, male
and female, each of whom is anxious to see
not only the canon, but the President, and
it is wickedly suggested by some that the
eyes of these lovers of nature are directed
more frequently to the latter than to the
former. We will probably remain here to-
morrow, and expect to reach the railroad on
September LIST. So far the trip has been one
OF unalloyed pleasure, and all are in the
best of health.

CAMP ALLISON, Aug. 2S.-The Presidents
party remained at Camp Allison yesterday,
so that an excursion could be made to
the narrow point of view
from which the grand canon
could be seen. Our camp was in beautiful
grove, and the day was interesting, but une-
ventful All start for the lower falls this
morning
As our trip is drawing to an end this
is probably as good an opportunity
as will be presented to refer to the
inventions of certain newspapers. which
have continuously published pretended
special kilograms purporting to be from cor
respondents with our party. No special
correspondents have been with US. The
falsehood OF these pretended officials is APP
parent to any one knowing the distance
to be travelled in this region, as these CORE
spondents seem to transfer themselves and
send reports in one day over
distance which cannot be possibly covered
in three or four days. Their silly stories
personal incidents, etc., are not of sufficient
consequence to be denied, but the stories
go beyond the bounds of permissible
hoaxes. have been misleading the public in a
matter OF general interest, and for this rea-
son it should be known that there has moi
been at any time the slight
est ground for such stories. The
President is and has been perfectly we'll
and has travelled the whole journey on horse
back, being excelled by none in hi;
enjoyment of the march and
camp life. The only other falsehood worthy
of mention as being a subject of public inter.
est is that, in this journey, any attention has
been given by the President, the Secretary OF
War or General Sheridan, to a new policy
of dealing with the Indians. If such mat
tiers were to be dealt with, the Secretary oil
the Interior would have been present. 1t is
sufficient to say that many newspapers
have been fighting a man of straw. A
simple illustration OF the deception.
of these specials is found in their having oul
party arrive at the upper geyser on a day
when we were four days march distant from
it,
