Preparatory to the Presidents COM
ing trip to the Yellowstone Park the
Signal corps is about to run tele-
graph wire into the park so that COM
may e maintained.
The Signal Office reports that the
wire can be put up at the rate of 100
miles week. 1t can be connected
with the nearest telegraphic point,
Fort Bliss or Fort Washakie, and
be completed ino the park before
August lst, the time now. fixed for
the President to start on the trip.
The field telegraph wire can follow
him from place to place in the park,
if il should be thought best, with
much greater rapidity. With the
facilities for travelling comfortably,
which will be at the Presidents dis
posal, no doubt this trip will be
pleasant one, but for less favored
mortals II is at present long and te-
dious and fraught with many diff
culties, to say nothing of the great
expense. But the park is full of in
teresting features and wonders, Of
which may give YOU some account
lateron.
The warm friendship which exists
between GeS NJ. e. Butler, Senator
from South Carolina, and Don Cam
cron is well known in Washington.
The Southern Senator had,, until the
recent lease of Cameron's elegant
house, a suite of rooms in 1t, which
were as much his as if he, instead of
Cameron, owned the house. The Re-
publicans have wondered at this in
timacy, but not nearly so much as
have the Democrats. The. Republi-
cans, however,, are ready to bless the
tic that binds, whatever il is, because
it secures them from any political
loss in the Senate through Cameron's
absence in Europe. 1t is known,
whether that absence be long or
short, that OIL all political subjects
Butler is paired with Cameron.
Some of the Democratic leaders have
demonstrated with Butler, telling
him that is bad policy TO make such
indefinite pairs, but he replies that
Don may stay as long as he likes, and
be sure that the pair is all right.
Senator Butler doubtless reminds
himself that If Don Cameron had so
willed it, Senator Hampton would
have had a Republican colleague all
these six years, for it will be remem-
bered that the Republican Senate
would have kept Butler out but for
the vote of Cameron. "Why doesn't
Cameron resign ?" was asked of one
of his closest friends. with the adj
ded remark. 'There are no more
political fish for him to catch. He
has been everything except president
I and surely he cannot be looking for
