A LIVELY REVIEW OF TELLER's CAREER
WASHINGTON, April 30.-The IN
pleasant personal relations which, II
Il understood, have for some time OK.
listed between the secretary of the In.
terror and Senator Hill, of Colorado,
have at last mantle ed themselves In
such way that wide publicity is likely
to be given as to the causes OF the dis.
agreement. Senator Hill, who, 1t Ia
said, has been greatly irritated By
misrepresentation of his language and
purposes by Secretary Teller, a. well
% by removals of his (Hill's) friends
from positions under the interior de.
partment, has written long letter to
the secretary in which he complains
bitterly of the latter's behavior toward
him, and attacks vigorously Teller'a
management, or, In Hill's opinion,
mismanagement Of the department
over which he presides.
Beginning with his personal
letter charges Secretary Teller
with attempting to place him In
. false and unpleasant position BY
causing to be published unfair and In
accurate reports of which statements
and requests. He asserts, further
more, that the secretary has been

After reviewing oaustioally the posi-.
tion taken by Secretary Teller In the
last campaign In Colorado, Senator
Hill takes up the seoretary's admin.

partment and subjects 1t to detailed
criticism and severe oensure. Refer.

National park, he says Teller devised
and dictated its terms and then
allowed his assistant secretary to take
all blame and public disapproval,
which followed Its execution. After
congress had restricted the lease tc
