NEW CLEVELAND IDEA:
Is the President-elect a Decided
Free Trader ?
A Well Kept Secret During
The Campaign.
Preparing For the Inaugural
Day Ceremonies.
Cleveland and Free Trade,


CHICAGO, January IA Cincinnati
special quotes Frank Hurd, the Toledo
Congressman, who has been spending
several days in Cincinnati attending to
legal business, as relating the following in
the presence Of ex-Mayor Means and sew
eral Democrats of local prominence:
The first Free Trade club in America
was organized in Buffalo after the close of
the civil war. The meeting was called by
leading Buffalo Democrats and a few Free
Trade Republicans. They met in the
law office of Bissell & Cleveland, and per
fected the organization of Il Free Trade
club. This organization exists to-day.
Grover Cleveland is its President. He
was elected President at the start and has
continued to be its President ever since.
Mr.. Hurd was asked how these facts were
kept quiet during the campaign. He
replied that when Cleveland became prom
inent in politics each member in the club
was instructed to keep the matter secret,
for fear hat Protectionist prejudices
would injure his prospects. Out of per
sonal good will toward him all of the
members have been very close mouthed
about the matter. Some time ago Mr..
Hurd had a conversation with Mr., Bissell
in which both expressed surprise that the
secret had been kept so well. According
to Mr.. Hurd's views, Cleveland is a radi-
Free Trader, who will advance his
ideas when in W

BozEMAN, Mont, January l.-Reports
from the stock ranges are of the most dis
couraging character. James Dedowick,
just arrived from Madison county, says
the snow is over two feet deep on a level
and the cattle are actually starving to
death. Similar reports are brought in by
j. c. Brown from the Judeth and Yellow
stone country. Snow has fallen to a great
depth. The absence of wind to carry it
away makes it next to impossible for the
cattle to get grass. Pilgrim cattle are far
worse off than natives. Many fine herds
will be completely annihilated if the cold
snap is repeated.

For the YelIowstona.

CHICAGO, January l.-R. +. Carpen-
ter, Superintendent of the Yellowstone
National Park, is at the Sherman House,
en- route to Washington. He is going
there in the interest of the Park and es-
pecially to get the proposed appropriation
of $1,000 O made. This amount is asked
by Lieutenant d. C. Kingman, who has
control of the road construction of the
Park. Mr.. Carpenter will also present
three or four claims by different individ-
ual for bridge building which are of long
standing. He states that the Park is in
good condition, although the hotels are
not sufficient for the tourists, many Of
whom have to put up tents. English anc
German tourists seem to %patronize the
Park more than the people of any othei
nationality. Some difficulty is experienced
with squatters, although they are beinl
rapidly elected. Mr.. Carpenter goes Il
Washington to-day.

The Cost to the Century"
New York Letter to Boston Transcript

New York Letter to Boston Transcript
Every few days there appears in
some newspaper paragraph relating to
General Grant and the price he has
received, or is receiving, for his war
articles in the Century. No two Of
these statements agree, and none that
have thus far been published state the
facts. The last that nave seen was,
If l recolloct Alright. that Grant received
81, 900 month while writing his pap ers
and that, in view Of the popularity Of the
war series. the Century people had
made him some handsome presents
besides. About the second part of the
statement know nothing. The first,
however, is very vide Of the mark.
The original contract called for -four
articles from General Grant-on Shiloh,
Vicksburg, Chattanooga and the Wild:
erness. The agreed price for these
articles was $500 for each, and this ID
the sum that has been paid. Ii any one
doubts this statement, can assure him
that have seen General Grants receipt
for this sum for the Shiloh aud other
articles. The Shiloh paper covers
about twenty-one pages, moro than
half OF which space is given to illustrs-
tions. General Grant, therefore, nc.
cording to his contract, received about
$50 for each page Of text that he
furnished, and l think no one will doubt
that he wrote tho whole paper. General
Joseph E. Johnston and General Nc
Clellan, who have written about the
Peninsular campaign, and Admiral
Porter have also received $500 each for
articles. General Mcclellan is an able
writer. and his papers describing his
connection with the Army of the
Potomac, which will appear in the May
and June numbers of the magazine, will
undoubtedly attract wide attention.
For he discusses not only tho military
side Of the question. but his relations
with the Administration as we'll, and
narrates the details Of interviews which
he had with President Lincoln and
Secretary Seward, thus giving his papers
q peculiarly entertaining personal and
favor.

not until Tuesday noon did the taking of
testimony begin. Besides the regular
