Professor o.. ID. Cope, Of PhiIadel-;
phia, recently returned from the west,
writes that the bison, the elk, and other
of the larger game animals Of this coun-
try, are approaching determination.
The elk, has been eliminated from tbs
confines Of civilization, and exists only
III the forests; and the bison, unable 70
hide his giant frame upon the open prai-
RE, is nearer to.extinction than any OF
his smaller co-sutferers. Ofthe bison, he
says: The once huge southern herd
has been reduced to d few animals in
northwestern Texas. y The Dakota herd
numbers only some rs, 900 head, NUM-
Der which will soon bs reduced to zero
il the present rate of determination con-
tinues. The Montana Herd is now The
object Of relentless slaughter, and will
soon follow the course Of the other two
herds These bands are about all that
lis lsfft out OF the countless millions that
once roved the plains. 1T is supposed
by many that the game in The Yellow
stone Park is preserved; butrelable &C.
counts assert that it is not. " -. &s$

, Diplomatic and Other Changes.
I recent Washington Special Telegram S,


There has been considerable shifting around
In the diplomatic service. Congressman
Kasson Of Iowa goes to Germany to see If he
can get along with the great chancellor, and
takes with him a natural aptitude and long
experience in diplomacy. Ex-Attorney Gen
erRl Taft is transferred from Austria to
Russia, and John d. Francis, Of the Troy
Times, is promoted from Portugal to Austria.
MI. Francis would have been sent to Sc
Petersburg but for the fact that New
York RI already has one first-class
mission Lewis Richmond of Rhode
Island goes to Portugal in the place of
Mr.. Francis The appointments for Alaska
were also made to-day, and Andrew 7. Lewis
Of Cannons district, Illinois, is make clerk
of the court Frank Sperry, who is private
secretary to the secretary Of the treasury, Is
appointed one of the justices for Dakota and
Leonard Smith Of Iowa is the other. This is
a great disappointment to Delegate Ray
nlond, who earnestly urged George P. Elan
merry ana George II. Hand, who were well en-
uoraed by the bars OF their respectives dis
tficts George Turner Of Alabama is made
associate Justice Of Washington Territory.
He was the chairman of the Alabama dele
Cation to the Chicago convention. .
In the long list Of the appointments Gent
to the senate to-day there is one which Gre
ntes considerable amusement, that Of Frank
SpezIy, TO be associate justice of Dakoka.
SperTy is 3 young man Of about twenty-five
years, but his youthful face and dininntive
stature make him appear as mere boy, He
has delicate little mutton-chop side whiskers,
which look rs though they We're the first at
tempts at sprouting a beard He is alto
gether a very insignificant looking youth
He was admitted to practice at the New
Work bar two or three years ago, but through
the influence OF George Bliss was appointed
private secretary to Secretary Folger. Con-
ssquently he has had no experience in the
PRACTICE Of the law. It is said that he has
been very faithful to the wishes Of George
Bliss, and that he has regularly reported to
Bliss the private movements Of Folger.
There does not appear to be any objection to
the young gentleman aside from his youth
and inexpenence. The appointn rents Of
Kaason, Kent and Francis are gener-
ally commended Seward Smith
who has been IA appointed as
sociate Justice of Dakota, is d lawyer OF Des-
Moines. with q practice Of twenty years. He
Is said to he a man Of ability and high stand
ing at the bar. Mr.. Byers, who has been APP
pointed consul general at Rome, has been
Tor several years consul at Zurich, Switzer-
land and his nomination is deserved pro-
motion Byers is the author Of the song
Sshermans March RI to y the Sea. 2 & " 4 The
president has appointed John Jarrett
of Pittsburg, president OF the A1nalga mated
association, as the head OF the labor bureau
OF the interior department, recently created
by congress John "A. Rea, register Of The
