WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE company
that leased ten acres il Yellowstone
park yesterday have selected small tracts
widely separated and in the immediate
neighborhood of the most attractive spots
that visitors will be likely to seek. The
lease does not cover the space occupied
by the geysers, and springs and falls,
but it does what 10 equivalent
to that, and grants all that the company of
spectators could have hoped for. The
ten acres is divided into seven tracts, rang
ing in size from one to two acres, and in
some instances lying directly along side of
the great natural curiosities of the park.
One tract, containing ON acre, lies ON the
banks of the beautiful Yellowstone lake,
near its outlet. There is an acre and a
half close to the canyon, or great fall; an
other tract of like sizo twenty five
feet from the lower falls. Then there
are two acres at Mammoth Springs where
the S250,000 hotel is to be erected; another
on Madison river, near the western bound
ary line of the park; another lies a quar-
ter of mile from sold Faithful and is
within few feet of Soda Butte springs.
The prescribed cost of the hotel at Nam
moth Hot Springs is to include the cost of
electrical machinery, furniture and
out buildings. Other hotels or
buildings to be approved by the
secretary of the interior are to be erected
in the vicinity of Lower Falls, Riverside,
the Geysers, Yellowstone lake, Soda Butts's
springs and Little Falls. The lessees are to
pay 81 per acre each year, and upon the
expiration of the ten years, on the termi-
nation of the lease, or failure to comply
with its conditions, the buildings may be
purchased by the government at an ap-
praisement of three persons, ,one to be select
ed by the secretary of the interior, one by
the lesseos and the third to be chosen by
these two. Ths lsssees are required to
submit to the secretary Of the interior for
his approval an itemizsa statement of the
charges to be paid for every accommods-
ton furnished to visitors within the park,
and they agree to make ne charges that
are not named in the schedule approved
by the secretary. They are to obey and
compel all persons under their control
to obey all regulations that
may be prescribed by the secretary for the
care and management of the park, and all
their employees will be required to wear q
badge or uniform to distinguish thsm as
such. The government reserved a first
lien on all of the buildings and other prop
srty of the lessess and right of forfeiture
of the lease as security for rent, for faith
fui performance of the conditions of the
contract. It is specially provided that the
secretary of the interior may lease to other
parties any other parts of the park for
hotel purposes. No assignment of the
lease can be made without the written con-
sent Of the secretary of the interior and no
delegate to or member Of congress will be
allow ed to have any share or benefit from
the lease.
SENATOR EDMUNDS' INTENTIONS.
1t is understood that Senator Edmunds
will only retain the Office of president of
the senate until next December, when he
will give way for Senator Anthony. Mr..
Ednunds left last Friday for Aiken, South
Carolina, where he has gone to join his
family, who have spent the winter there.
Mr.. Edmunds proposes to go to New
Orleans with his family for q visit, and
from there he will 60 to the Pacific coast.
He will probably remain with his family
in California the greater part of
the summer. This Southern and
Western trip is made solely on account of
the frail health of the sole surviving daugh-
ter of the senator.
Mrs. Logan expects to leave in q few
days for New Mexico, to visit their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Tucker, at Santa Fe, where Pay
master Tucker is stationed. Later they
will extend their journey to California.
''HoME, SWEET HOME"
The Philharmonic society of this city
will take charge of the musical portion of
the exercises on the occasion of the rein
terment of John Howard Payne's body,
and render with large chorus 'Home,
