THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
In the Yellowstone correspondence
transmitted to the senate to-day
there appears letter from Super
intendent Conger to secretary Teller,
which he asks the latter to consider pri-
vate. In it he says the company's people
help themselves to whatever they want,
inside or outside the government enclos-
ure. They cut timber and allow their
herds to oyerrun the government grounds,
and wilfully break down and destroy the
fencing erected by Superintendent Hobart
Of the hotel. The firm attem pied to tear
down the fences there erected. In con
sequence of the destruction of the fence
the pastures are overrun by the com
pany's herds and are so bare of grass that
he will be com PEELED to take the govern
ment stock out of the park and winter it.
He has also purchased food for it at a
heavy cost. He closes his letter with this
statement: Hobart has boasted in my
hearing of his influence with you, and that
he had frequent letters from you, and told
one Of my assistants that you had prom
ised him should not visit Washington
this winter, and he also said
the reason you would not write me
was you were not going to have my
letters paraded before congress. Secreta-
ry Teller replies to Conger, blaming him
for not conveying the information sooner.
He refuses to receive private communica-
tions on public business, and says he has
placed CoDger's letters on file. He also
instructs him to notify Hobart that he
must comply strictly with the con ditions
of the lease.
PARK IMPROVEMENTS.
Lieutenant Kingmen, in his report to
the secretary of wsr concerning the i'm
provements of the Yellowstone park, esti-
mates that $216,000 can be spent profta-
bly, during next season in improvements
upon the old roads and laying out new
ones and building bridges. He does not
favorably regard the proposition TO build
railroad through the park, and considers
that the apparent necessity of railroad
will disappear upon the com pletion of a
system of good wagon roads.
MISSISSIPPI APPROPRIATION.
Representative Willis, chairman of the
committee on rivers and harbors, says the
committee will consider the recomm enda-
tions of the Mississippi river commission
for an Immediate appropriation of
$1,000,000 tomorrow, and it is expected a
favorable report will be made to the house
next week.
THE PRESIDENT.

the Plat to attend a reception of the Union
League club.
SILVER PURCHASED.
The treasury department has purchased
$4,000 ounces of silver for delivery at the
Philadelphia, New York and San Francisco
mints.
DAKOTA WILL EXHIBIT.
Governor Ordway, of Dakota, has in
formed Commissioners General Morehead,
of the Worlds exposition at New Orleans,
that Dakota will make an exhibition of
her mineral and agricultural resources,
and, he could safely say, that their exhibit
of natural oouriosities, such as petrfied
wood, and the bones of mammoth prehis-
torio animals would be of marvellous in
terest Governor Ordway says he will
send the names of two able men of Dako-
ia to President Arthur, as United
States commissioners to represent the
territory at the exposi tion.
