No Game In the Yellowstone.

correspondence ClnClnnatl commercial Gazette
The tourist naturally expects to see bear, elk,
deer, antelope and other wild animals In the
Yellowstone park, and they may be there, for
the guide-books tell us they are abundant But
In the eight days travel In the park not a
single living specimen was seen, and the only
approximation to bear was porcupine. which
one Of the guides freed and into which Major
Bickham swears he emptled the contents of his
seven-shoOter before he discovered he was
wasting his ammunition on fretful porcuplne.
An occasional chipmunk or ground squirrel was
seen, and now and then cOvey Of disconsolate
blackbirds: but as for living game one might as
well look for it among the hills Of Eden park as
along the traversed routes of the National
park. Neither wild animal nor Indian was
seen in all the journeying. II one wishes to
see an Indian in fact, in all his long travel
from ST. Paul to the National park. q distance
of nearly 100 miles. he must search for him on
the reservations. where he is as different from
the native savaae as the menagerie lion from
the monarch of the African jingle. Indians and
buffalo have alike disappeared, and only ira
ditiOn Of their existence remains.

HI RHC0AMINDe THAT fHI 0ovIRMM1Nf KEEP
PATH WITH THEN.
The Secretary OF War to-day transmitted 10 the
Secretary OF the Interior q letter from Gen Crook,
August !. from Prescott, Arizona, touching the
question OF the punishment OF the Lately surren-
dered Chiricahuas Indians, and urging the propri-
ETY. OF strict adherence by the government TO the
terms upon which the Indians surrendered.
Gen. Crook states that he Is In sympathy with
Mexican authorities In their desire TO secure the
security OF life and property In both countries;
still the Indians 'sare now prisoners, with the un-
Outstanding on their part that their past mis-
deeds would not be punished, provided the be-
haved themselves in the future. To attems; 20
now punish those who are on the San
Carlos agency as prisoners would be an act OF per-
hdy and bad faith, and would unQueStionably pre-
vent the return OF the Indians left In Sierra Ma
dres, but would precipitate an Indian war"
ut would be almost as impossible to exterminate
the Chiricahuas In their mountains as the wolves
and coyotes with whom they share the possession
OF the Sierra Madres, and SO long as any OF them
survive so long would the carnival OF death and
depreciation continue"
In conclusion. Gen Crook urges that the terms
made with the Indians be adhered to as the best
means OF protecting lie and property In both
countries.
This letter is in reply to communication which
had been sent 70 Gen Crook, which the governor
OF Chihuahua and the minister OF Mexico sent to
the Secretary OF State
