A BUFFALO HUNT.

People living near Glendive, Montana,

dust kicked up they discovered herd Of

The animals appeared to be well nigh run

other, and for a time II looked as though
many Of them would be killed, but nearly
all got out uninjured. They had hardly

There were four or five hundred buffaloe,

Tho Big Strike OF the River Miners Ends In
ayietory.
{ PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 6.-The river
coal miners strike ended to-day in favor
Of the strikers, and six thousand miners
resumed work this morning at the advance.
The action OF Walton & Co., the most ex-
tensivc operators on the Monongahela
river, in conceding the increase to their
men on Saturday, broke the backbone OF
the strike and general stampede OF the
other operators to resume operations fol-
lowed. Two.thirds Of the mines started
up to-day and the balance will be work
ing before the end Of the week. Thestrike
lasted four weeks and the miners are ju-
biLaut over their victory. There Is no
change in the situation OF the railroad
miners strike.
William Rainey, a leading member OF
the Miners, association, expresses the
opinion that the operators will now crowd
their mines. Said he: "Too many OF the
miners went to work without arranging
terms. They should have insisted on .
checkweighman and limited number Of
men in each mine, but they were eager to
resume work, hence did not secure the
full fruits OF their victory
ts On the railroads tho strikers cannot yet
claim victory. This morning developed
nothing new in the situation. At the
miners Office no word was received that
any pit hadresumed work. Blythe action
Of the convention on Saturday the pits
working at three cents should have de-
manded four cents, but no word was re-
ceived that any had stopped. The rail-
road operators still hold that they are un'
able to pay the price and will hold out
against the demand.

Philadelphia Pres, Aprti 9.
General Badeau Joined tho circle toward
9o'clock, and when he left the house, said
General Grant does not want to live
suffering as he is now, and knows he can
not get better. He does not desire to have
his life prolonged. know this. The
trouble Is not SO much the cancer as his
general debility. He is entirely broken
down."
Then branching of into the causes Of
the trouble, General Badeau continued :
II consider Ferdinand Ward morally re.
sponsible for this. He'is murderer. Had
be not trapped the General into his fnan-
cial affairs, and then brought upon his old
shoulders the only sorrow and shame Of
his life, Grant would be as well as I am
to-day. TIE local trouble would have
been held in obeyance for years yet. This
is the saddest chapter in the sad history
OF the firm of Grant K Ward.
Anintimate friend Of the Grant family,
who has been q constant visitor at the
house for years, said, in talking on the
same topic, General Grants weakness
and inability to understand the present
attack undoubtedly came from the shock
which tie humiliating failure OF Grant &
Ward caused him. He Is not demon
strative man, and at the time did not
show the grief and worry which 1t in
acted on lin, 1nthis respect he is like

What the New York "sun" thinks of the
Present situation.

Present Situation.
New YonK, April 5.-The Sun has q
notable editorial under thecaption "What
Makes the Good Times" in reply to a
correspondent who attributes the depres.
sion to the withdrawal Of national bank
notes from circulation. The Sun shows
that money was never SO cheap as now,
and that as the depression extends
throughout Europe as well as the United
States 1t cannot be attributed to gold
standard or to the tariff laws or to any
thing in the condition Of our shipping and
ocean transportation, for it exists in Eng
land, where there is an unprecedented
extension OF the merchant marine just as
severe or even more SO than in this
country, where for many years our
merchant marine has been gradually
declining. Nor yet is 1t caused by
the. failures in. the country, or by wars or
iamines in any part OF the world. The
crops have generally been good for several
years and no wars or famines Of any ac-
count have existed yet we may say in a
general way that the depression is the re.
suit Of over.production that Is to say, OF
spending money and labor in ways that
are not profitable and that give no return .
The Sun concludes as follows: "Yet
while this great collapse Is indisputable
and considering we may well be econtented
over the fact that 1t Is not 80 destructive as
It might be, and that business Is quite as
good and the situation Of the country quite
as encouraging as expected. There are
many workers out Of employment and
hardly any enterprise is making much
money. Most people are getting enough
to eat and enough to wear and are living
along in happiness with reasonable coon,
omy. The country Is rich and sound at
the core and when all the mutations and
depressions arc settled up and cleared
away we shall find that we are a great
deal better off than the philosophers OF
calamity aud despair have imagined,
