YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Assistant Secretary Joslyn says that the
negotiations between the interior depart
ment and the Yellowstone park specula-
tors have been completed and the company
have already commenced making arrange
ments for putting up the hotel. Mr.. Joslyn
further says that all congress succeeded in
doing in its effort to regulate the business
was to cause loss of about 100000 to the
government. Had congress kept its hands

had that amount of money to use in
building bridges and roads. Although pro-
Tossing to be for protecting

this matter congress lost 100000 for the
people and gained nothing"
KEIFER AND THE sTENoGRAPHERs.
The two or three days that Keifer was in
the city he devoted chiefly to burning up
his private correspondence that had accu-
mulated for week. He conversed freely
with newspaper correspondents concerning
political affairs in Ohio, and took occasion to
deny that he had compelled Stenographer
Dawson to divide his salary with Tyson.
who was removed to make place for the
| speakers nephew. With regard to the
bnldozing of Dawson, Gen. Keifer said:
| 1.-The story is not true, and Mr.. Dawson
would tell you so. 1t was the understand
ing all along after the appointment of
| Tyson and Dawson that Games was TO
have one of the places. let things run
along until toward the close of the session,
however, thinking that it would be right to
allow Tyson or Dawson to hold the place
until March 3, in order that he might get
the extra months pay allowed,
and understand that he is to get it. Then
L took into consideration the fact that
Dawson is man with a large family to
support and has been a soldier, and so
concluded to put Gaines in Tyson's place.
L admit that on the last day of the session
L told Tyson. that the matter must be
| closed up that day. Dawson himself came
to me and suggested that he might want
Tyson to help him during the summer. I
told him had nothing to do about that,
that any arrangement that they made be-
| tween themselves must be a voluntary one,
of course, and one with which 1 had moth
| ing to do.'
| OHIO POLITICS.
Gen. Keifer said that he would turn his
attention to active participation in Ohio
politics as soon as he could find time. He
thought it was too early to discuss who
would be the most available candidates
for the governorship and other state Off
ces. The prospect of Republican success
in the coming campaign would
depend upon the action of the state legis-
lature. If that body should not commit
the blunder of thinking that it can make
all men perfectly just and holy by legisla-
tive enactment, the Republican party will
do very well. 1t is generally believed
among politicians here that Keifer him
self has an eye on the nomination tor
governor, but the Ohio men say he would
be fearful load for the party to carry in
a campaign preceding the presidential
election. friend of the ex-speaker says
his ambition is to reach the United States
senate, and that when he is ready to an
nounce himself for that or any other pub
lie position, he will do it regardless of who
may laugh, just as he did when he sought
the nomination for the speakership, and
he will make just such dashing and Wig
orous campaign for the nomination as he
made for that Office. He has largo
apbition,great self-esteem and hide that
| is impervious to adverse criticism.
robson AND KKIFER.
1t is learned that Keller and Robson
had some sharp words about the proposed
removal of Tyson, who had been appoint
ed at Robeson's request. Robson urged
helfer to let Tyson retain his place and
provide for the speakers nephew by re-
moving one of the reporters of debates,
but Keifer positively refused on the
ground that-it would cause too great
scandal. The removal of the two commit
tee reporters to make room for Tyson and
Dawson had raised a general outcry
against him at ths first session of the
Forty-seventh congress, and he was un-
willing to interfere with the reporters of
| debates. Robson insisted, and finally
went away very mad when he found
that Keller had determined to go
back on him. But before Tyson
was removed Tyson and Dawson
tried to arrange matters by offering to pay
Keifer's nephew 800 each month until
the next meeting of congress, providing
Tyson was not displaced. This PROPOSE
ton was rejected because the arrange
ment would have yielded to the nephew
| $216.66 a month less than the Office that
he wanted. The more this matter is inves-
| tigated the worse it looks. There was
nothing to justify it. The speakers
nephew has profitable engagement as
newspaper correspondent and would have
continued to draw salary of S133 per
month as speakers clerk if he had not
been promoted to Tyson's place.
