settsi Judge Alfred Coke and
others will be in the Yellowstone
region at about the same time 90 the

deal of comment. Then, too, Mr.,
Rufus Hatch is organizing party OF
politicians and others, who are to
leave the city on August 10, and Mr..
Henry Willard will make the Journey
with a number of friends about the
same time. The different parties will
all meet in the Yellowstone park, and

ing may DO important and significant
in its political bearings. President

recreation, but there arc those who

as well as relief from official
cares and responsibilities. When the
