HILL vs.. TELLER.
The unpleasant personal relations
which, it is understood, have for some
time existed between the Secy. of the In.
terror and Senator Hill, of Colorado, have
al last manifested themselves in such q
way that wide publicity is too be given
to the causes of the disagreement. Sena
tor Hill, who, it is said has been greatly
irritated by representation of his Ian
guage and purposes by Secy. Teller, as
we'll as by removals of his (Hilps) friends
from positions under the Interior Dept.
has written long letter to the Secy. in
which he complains bitterly of the Iatter's
behavior toward him. and attacks vigor-
ously Secy. Teller's management,
or in Hill's opinion misman-
agement, of the Department over which he
presides. Beginning with his personal
grievances, senator Hill in his letter
charges secretary Teller with attempting
to place him in a false and unpleasant
position by causing to be published unfair
and inaccurate reports cf his statements
and requests. He asserts, furtherm ore
that the secretary has been guilty of a
violation of ordinary courtesy in repeating
to newspaper correspondents for publica-
ton, what had been said to him in a pri-
vate interview. After reviewing causti-
cally the part taken by secretary Teller in
the last campaign in Colorado, senator
Hill takes up the secretarys administration
of affairs of the Interior Department,
and subjects it in detail to criticism and
severe censure. Referring to the lease OF
the Yellowstone National park he says
Teller devised and dictated its terms, and
|
!. the blame and public disapproval which
, followed its execution. After congress had
l restricted the lease to ten acres, the score
, tary evaded both the letter and the spirit
= of the law, and practically gave the Rufus
Hatch syndicate monopoly of the entire
l park. In dealing with questions which
. have arisen in connection with the public
! domain, and particularly those growing
: out of lapsed land grants, he charges
!, secretary Teller with acting

and against all the interests of the gov
eminent and people. He also asserts an(
