NATIONAL HOTEL, MAMMOTH HOT
SPRINGS, Aug. 20.-The presidential
party is now camped two miles below
Baronette's bridge, where they ar :
rived last evening, after travelling
from Mud geysers. This is the last
camp Of the trip. as the party will ar
rive here tomorrow. the 3Oth, and
Friday is fixed as the day for taking
the cars. Your correspondent is un-
able to ascertain whether any stop
will be made at Livingston or other
towns along the line. 1t is known,
however, that the president has ac-
ceded to the request to lay the corner
stone Of the Dakota penitentiary at
Bismarck, and the party may stop
some time for that purpose, especially
as Henry Willard and his party Of ce-
lebrities, including General Grant and
several members of the cabinet will be
present Oh the occasion. All the
members of the party are well, ex-
cepting General Sheridan, who has
not recovered from his recent illness
at Jacsson's S Lake. His trouble is
supposed to be mountain fever, and
will probably disappear with a change
of climate. The president is by no
means indisposed, but, though his
cheeks are bronzed and / iealthylooking,
he looks old and worn and stoOpS as he
rides. The long journey has evidently
been too fatiguing. The whole party
confess that they will be glad when
they reach here and once more enjoy
the luxury Of civilized bed after
nearly month of sleeping on the
ground under canvas. A few days
ago Captain Hayes, who was in
charge of the military escort,
was ordered under arrest by Gen.
Sheridan but was released to-day and
is again in charge of his command.
The difficulty was very slight and or
iginated in disagreement between
the two as to whether the pack mules
should be ricketed at night Or run
loose. An extra military escort ac-
companies the party at short distance
since the dispatch reached them re-.
garding the kldnappers who were re-
ported to have started from Idaho to
capture the President. While it is
doubtful if anyone puts any confidence
in this report it has been considered
advisable as a matter of precaution to
increase the escort. With soldiers scat
tered around the party in every direc-
ton any attempt at kidnapping would
be an absurdity and it is difficult to de-
termine for what purpose the story
was started. The party were most
highly interested in the magnificent
scenery at Yellowstone Falls and can

PETROLEUM.
Prospective Utilization of the Oil for Gener-
ating Steam.

WASHINGTON special.
Mr. H. F. Hayden, chief engineer of the
Senate, has made some discoveries in the
matter of using petroleum in boilers and
locomotives which it is thought by some ex-
perts who have examined the inventions will
create a revolution in the many departments
of industry. 1t is estimated that S., 900 900
have been expended in this country and in
Europe in efforts to utilize petroleum as fuel.
Mr.. Hayden. within the last few days, has
taken out a series of patents, and has more
which are soon to be issued to him, which
it is believed will make it possible to util-
ize not only the lighter hydrocarbon
oils, but the heavier, even down to
coal tar. Mr. Hayden has been for
twenty years practical student of combus-
ton, and has taken out some forty patents
relating in various ways to this subject. He
claims for the present inventions. and naval
engineers who have conducted the expert
ments admit that the claim is genuine, that
his invention will work us great revolution
in existing methods as the Siemens-M Martin
patent did in those which preceded it. Mr.
Hayden some time since invented genera
tor for the use OF petroleum as fuel which IS
now in successful operation at the Norway
Iron and Steel Works, of Boston, but the in
ventions for which he has just received
patents while in no way conflicting with the
generator, are as great an advance upon that
as the generator itself was upon the old
system. These generators, it is thought, will
succeed that of Semens & Martin
not being amenable to the objections
to that-that under it, it was impossible to
regulate the production OF gas to meet the
varying exigences of the furnace. The new
apparatus is comparatively inexpensive, and
can be readily adapted to locomotive boilers.
1t is expected that it will prove especially
valuable TO those classes of manufacture
which require a steady and uniform maxi
mum mperature, such as glass furnaces.
and furnaces for fusing ores containing iron,
gold silver. copper, zinc and lead. Possibly
the most valuable part of the invention is
that which adapts hydro-carbon oils to the
purposes of generating steam on locomotives
and boilers on ocean steamers and for sta
tionarv engines, and not the least public
benefit from this new invention, if it proves
to be all that its inventor claims for it. will
be the prevention of smoke and deleterious
gases

MADAME PATTI.
Why She Declined an Invitation to Dinner
"A Misrepresented Woman.


"A Misrepresented Woman.
New York Tribune, Monday.
The prima donna had been invited to at
tend a dinner party to have been given in her
honor last evening, by Mrs. Paran Stevens,
but had been obliged to decline, she said, be-
cause she is to sing at the Academy of Music
this evening.
81 was very sorry" said Madame Patti,
ITO be obliged TO decline Mrs. Stevens's invi
tation; but where there are ladies at dinner
one has to do so much talking that it tires
me very much, and always have to refuse
such invitations when the dinner is so near
the evening on which sing. I'm afraid of
getting tired and injuring my throat. AT a
little party like mine this evening where the
guests are all gentlemen, it is not so trying to
me, for they usually entertain themselves,
and L nj not obliged to talk so much as when
Pm with ladies'"
But why is it," continued Madame
Patti" that Pm so misrepresented in the
newspapers? Why, I'm reported as saying
things which l never said in the world and
sometimes never thought Of For instance,
was grieved to find myself reported the
other day as having predicted a failure for
Mr. AbbeyS new opera-house. | never said
anything like that for I've no reason for
knowing anything about it whatever. sim
ply said that the success of the cage will de-
pend upon the birds put in it. And it was
so unkind to msrepresent me! Why l
wouldn't say such thing any way, for [
know Madame Nilsson very well indeed, and
it would certainly be unkind of me to pre-
dict failure for her in her performances in
the new opera-house next season. OF course
Madame Nilsson won't be able to sing th2re
every night, and it will be necessary to nave
some one take her place on the off lights
And what L say, then, is that the Cuccess OF
the cage will depend on the birds put in it.
That's what 1 said, but is not what 1 was re-
ported to have said"
DO you expect to return to America next
season.
Il hone to do so. But if do come it will
be my farewell. When l say farewell some
of my friends think I'm going to leave the
stage. And do expect to do SO eventually,
but not right away; but still so fl as Ameri-
ca is concerned it would be my farewell.
You see I've engagements to fill elsewhere
THAI will take four seasons, so that can't
leave the stage until I've filled them all.
And there's only one season in a year. 1
must sing in Spain, Italy, Russia, Germany
and several other countries before my real
farewell will occur I'm getting very tired
of knocking about in this way. I've been
singing long time you know, and l think
ought to stop some time. Then this crossing
the ocean is so uncomfortable to me. I'm
always dreadfully sick, and l dread it. After
we've been out two or three days 1 don't
mind it so much. Then l usually feel well
enough to go on deck

DAN RICE ON TEMPERANCE.
The Old Clown Relates His Experience with
the Flowing Bowl.

New York Times
Colonel Rice, being introduced remarked.
after a basso-profundo 'ahem," which made
the audience start, that there was destiny
which shapes our ends, rough-hew them
though we may. Mr. Rice continued that
he felt nervous, because some friends had
ratified him by alleging that he was going
back into the circus ring simply for the
reason that he was going to lecture in the
Wigwam. That did not deter him from APP
pearing, however, for he had lectured all
through the South for charity and paid his
own bills-except where he was able to stand
'em off. [Murmurs of sympathy Here the
Colonel said that he had been a very bad man
in his time, but had made departure from

spoken of as trio who lived only to do good
to their fellowmen.' He recalled the DAYS
when he used to partake of the cup which
multaneously cheers and inebriates and
said that he used TO think he could drink
more than anybody else without showing it.
until he tried conclusions with man named
Jewell who belonged to the Custom
house, and a fellow named Morse They
got him under the table and went home
sober themselves and he had always regret
ted it, Colonel Rce's advice to young men
was not i'll accordance with the orthodox be-
lief expressed by temperance lecturers. The
Colonel said: IF any young man wants to
be true temperance man let him go and
get the delirium tremens that'll settle it,"
He further held out encouragement to
youths so disposed by telling of young
fellow he knew III Evansville, Ind, who had
delirum tremens so terribly that he thought
he'd been in hell fifteen years, and when he
gave up drinking the ladies took an interest
in him aud bought him gold watch and
chain. The speaker had never yet seen
man get so drunk as he had been himself.
Talk about seeing snakesr' said he, 'pve
seen anacondas, rhinosrlIorses, hyenas, ele-
plants. Talk about your Pilots and your
Jumbos! Why, I've seen, I've seen =" and
