PARK.
Extension of Its Limits-Bm for Reserving 1t
for the People.

WASHINGTON Ian. Son the LIST of Sep
tember iasr Acting 5-creJary or the Interior
Joslyn agreed to lease to Carroll T. Hobart
and Henry F. Douglass, of Dakota Terri
tory, 4,440 acres within the Yellowstone
National Park, for hotel purposes. Hobart
& Douglass associated with them Rufus Hatch,
and a lease was drawn, ready for signature. On
Dec. Z the Senate, at the instance of Mr..
Vest, instructed the Secretary of the Interior
to furnish the Senate with copies of the
agreement and proposed lease. The matter
was referred to the Committee on Terrific
ries to investigate. The committee
inclines to the conclusion that the Interior
Department has transcribed its authority in
making the agreement, and has agreed to re-
port a bill clearly defining the duty of the de-
partment, and also extending the area of the
park on the east to a line north and south
through Cedar mountain, and southwark to
forty-fourth parallel of north latitude, an ad-
dition of about 1884 square miles to the park,
the whole area of which would be G. 654 square
miles. The bill provides that all territory
within the limits of the park shall be with
drawn from settlement, occupancy, or sale,
and set apart as a public park or pleasure
ground for the people of the United States.
The present trespassers will be removed and
further trespass prevented, and troops will
be used if necessary. Fish will only be
taken by hook and line, and the killing of
game will be prohibited. The Secretary of
the Interior may grant leases, for terms not
exceeding ten years, of small parcels of
ground, but no more ground shall be leased
than is necessary for hotels or storehouses
for the accommodation of visitors, and the
necessary %outhouses, and for gardening or
grazing and in connection with the hotels,
but no exclusive privilege or monopoly of
any kind will be granted which shall in any
manner interfere with the free and unre-
stricted access of the public to all portions of
the park.
The extensions of the limits of the park
was recommended by the committee on the
suggestion of General Sheridan, who. as COM
mander of the military department embrace
ing the park, made a careful study of the
territory, and was convinced the park should
include the proposed extension, on account
of geographical and other physical condi-
tons.

An Order Placing Honest Men and R0gues on
the Same Plane.

CALDWELL, Kas., Jan. 5.-There is consid-
cradle excitement here among cattle men
herding on the Cherokee outlet, growing out
OF a Washington dispatch to the effect that
orders have been issued from the Interior
Department for the removal of all stockmen
from the outlet. This state of affairs seems
to have been brought about by an attempt
on the part of the Standard Oil Cattle Com
pany to fence in a large range, which is and
has been occupied by small stockholders, who
have paid taxes to the Cherokee Nation for the
privilege of herding their cattle on the
outlet. 1t seems these small stock
herders, together with parties in Kansas who
have been in the habit of letting their stock
Craze on the Cherokee lands without paying
anything to the Indians or the State of Kan
sas, have made certain statements to Secre-
tary Teller which have induced him to issue
a sweeping order against all stockmen, as
well as the Standard Oil Company, without
regard to any injustice that may be lone
those who hove paid taxes to the Cherokees
in good faith, and bought the privilege Of
fencing and erecting buildings for the ac-
commodation of their herders.

A POSSIBLE REVOLUTION.
Rumor that Kalakaua's Coronation VIII Be
Made the Occasion of an Outbreak.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 5.-The United States
ship Alaska is ordered 10 Honolulu, to be
there at the time of Kalakaua's coronation.
The Lackawanna is now at Honolulu, and
will remain there. 1t is expected the Wa
chusetts will be ordered there. The princi-
pal naval powers will send war-ships to
Honolulu. The avowed object is to pay the
proper courtesies, but it is understood
that the real object is to protect for
eign interests in case of trouble, which
may arise from the opposition to the extrav-
agant arrangements for the coronation. A
rumor is circulated of a possible revolution.
H. W. Severance, Hawaiian consul at this
city, places no faith in such rumors, which,
he says, are the talk of a lot of disappointed
officeseekers. j. d. Spreckles, who has ex-
tensive interests in the islands, says he fears
no trouble.

A man from Kokomo. who had been West two

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The House strug-
gled all day with the District of Columbia
appropriation bill. Owing to the anomalous
status of the District, her people having no
voice in the control of the government or
representation in Congress, little interest
seems to be awakened in either branch of
Congress over what are termed District mat
tiers. Occasionally a day is assigned by the
House for District business, which is gem
orally regarded by the members as a good
time to attend to their private matters, and
it it rarely that a quorum can be obtained on
such days.
There were rather more than usual in at
tendance to-day, as it was understood that
the District bill would soon be disposed of
and the shipping bill would be taken up.
The latter, however, went over till to-mor-
row, when a lively debate may be expected.
Sunset Cox, who takes ground violently
opposed to some features of the bill
which was prepared by the joint
Shipping Committee, will make a character
istic speech tomorrow. A joke is told in
connection with this speech, which it is said
Mr.. Cox does not appreciate nearly so much
as he would were it told on ome one else.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.



WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The cattle commits
sioE, in discussing the question of the admis-
sion of American store cattle to Great Britain,
says: at is vain to hope that England will
remove the restrictions SO long as we fail to
show that the last vestige of infection has
been wiped out from our land, and nothing
short of the absolute and undeniable extinc-
ton of this disease in the United States will
reopen the British market to our live cattle,
and save us those millions we are now every
year prodigally, we might almost say insanely,
throwing away"
The report estimates the yearly losses from
the lung plague in the United States at from
s., 1000, 900 to 5000, 900, and the prospective
loss at $500 0 600, The capital represented
by the present yearly losses at 5 per cent,
would be from $40, 600, 900 to $50, 600, 900, and
that represented by the prospective losses at
the same rate, 81, 900, 900, 600.
The governing principle in all these recon-
mendations is that the Federal government
shall forbid the movement of stock cattle
out of any infected State, Territory or dis
trict, except after quarantine such as is now
imposed on cattle imported from infected
foreign countries. The report recommends
that the Secretary of the Treasury be em-
powered to order the instant destruction OF

Expecting that the bill would be called up
some days since, Mr.. Cox carefully prepared
a speech and furnished proof-slips to several
New York papers in advance, to be used, of
course, after the speech had been delivered.
Unfortunately, however, one of those thus
favored chanced to be an afternoon paper,
and, with the characteristic recklessness of
afternoon papers, in its desire to get ahead of
its morning rivals, the propriety of waiting
till Mr.. Cox had spoken his piece
was quite lost sight of. The speech
appeared two days ago in cold type, with the
startling explanation that Mr.. Cox would, in
q few days, deliver it in the House Mean
while, Mr.. Cox had revised his remarks and
secured another set of proofs, which he
kindly offered to a New York correspondent
to-day, in view of the certainty that he
would speak tomorrow. His chagrin was
genuine when his attention was for the first
tisse called to the fact that his speech was
published two days ago. 1t is safe to assume,
no matter what Mr.. Cox may say tomorrow,
list the gentlemen in the reporters gallery
will associate it with his remarks already in
pant, and devote their attention to some
gentleman who has been less previous.
The Ways and Means Committee have not
perfected their tariff bill, but expect to re-
port it early next week.

A Brilliant Opening-The Cameron-Rodgers
Wedding.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-This week will be a
brilliant inaugural of the gay season. There
have been several entertainments each after
noon, and in the evenings besides; dinners
and luncheons by the score. Mrs. Loring,
wife of the Commissioner, has issued cards
for an 'at home on Saturday evening,
which will divide the honors with the mu-
sicale to be given the same evening by the
wife of the Portuguese minister, Madame
Nagerase.
The marriage of Miss Virginia Cameron to
lieutenant Rodgers will take place early in
January, not February, as has been an
nounced, the exact date being Jan. ~. The
invitations which have been issued to wit
ness the ceremony are less general than those
to the reception following. 1t will be an ele-
CANT home wedding, the ceremony taking
place at the Senator's house. There will be
no bridesmaids, but the bride will be at
tended by her two younger sisters. The
young couple will return here after the we'd
ding journey, when a round of festivities
will be given in their honor.

A DEED.


CLEVELAND, Jan. 5.-An Akron special to
the Leader reports that Victoria Smith,
twenty-four years old, when walking home
last evening. about 7 o'clock, was stopped
near her house by two %ruflians, one of whom
said, you are Polly Hitchcock" She re-
piled, II am not" whereat the fellow said,
you lie" The scoundrels, brandish-
ing a broadax and a butcher-knife
seized her, threw a heavy cloth over her
head, twisted the corners so she was securely
mufled, and threatened to kill her if she
made a noise or resisted. They then dragged
her past her fathers house to an open field
beyond, and both ravished her, after which
they cut off her hair close to her head and
left her senseless. When she recovered she
walked home, and again fell in an uncon-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The coup d'etat of
the Senate, in getting in ahead with a
tariff measure, has been made the occasion
for a good deal of good-natured bantering, to
which the members of the committee reply
that the Senate bill is crude and by no means
SO symmetrical as theirs will be. A bluff
senator said to this to-day; what we want
is relief, rather than symmetry; a hungry
man won't look for symmetry in the loaf of
bread that is given him." The general im-
preston, however, is that the Senate bill will
find the most favor of a measure of reduction.

CONDITION OF THE COUNTY JAIL.
The Recommendation of the Grand Jury
What the Commissioners Say.

The county commissioners arranging to
make the improvements in the jail recommend
ed by the grand jury. They take exceptions to
the statement made in the report of the latter
that their attention had twice before been for
maly called to the condition of affairs, and their
claim in this regard is cOrroborated by Judge
Norton. The board visited and inspected the
jail, yesterday, and think that it is in as good
condition is possible under the circumstan-
ces. They have ordered $50 pairs of blankets
and other bedding, so that each bunk may have
change, and they think this will be conducive
to cleanliness In the future. Sheriff Hess says
that it is next to impossible to keep the Jail free
from verm1n but he thinks that it is freer now
from such pests than at any time for twenty
years past. As result of the Journal reporters
hasty observations, the greatest difficulty seems
to be the want of room. There are now 125
prisoners, and they cannot be properly cared
for in the limited quarters. Following is the re-
port OF the grand jury concerning the Jail, and
the recommendations made, which will be car
ried out by the commissioners:
eve visited the Jail, Sept a. and were sur
pr1sed to find that no attention had been paid to
the recommendation we had made in our two
former reports. If we had not considered these
suggestions absolutely necessary we would not
have made them, and we herein repeat our sug-
gestlons The old jail proper should be provided
Win seats around the corridor. The prisoners
having no place to sit will occupy their hunks
through the day, making it much harder to keep
the bedding free from vermin.
There should be an entire change of bedding
provided, especially change of bed ticks. AT
present the bedding is full of bugs, and without
Inls cnange 1t Is impossible to get rid of them.
