A Novel Method of Gctting News Of the

A Novel Method OF Gctting News oil the
Buffalo Hunt"
CHICAGO, April 29.-To Mr. Clinton A.
Snowden, editor Of the Chicago Times, must
be yielded the unquestioned credit for con-
ceivipga moduS operdadi for obtaining news,
which ut first sight appears almost start
ling. II had been supposed that when
the telegraph and the locomotive had
been brought into use, the acme Of
rapid and faithful gathering of news
events had been reached and
this still holds good where these facilities
are easy Of access, but when news centers
are hundreds of miles distant from tele-
graph or railway stations the question OF
transmitting events rapidly and reliably
becomes O matter Of some concern. 1t is
now proposed to utilize the winged speed
and the almost human intelligence of the
carrier pigeon as ews messenger and not less
novel and interesting is the occasion for
which the birds are 10 be used. Anexpedition
has been organized, the object Of which
will be to save the world. What number
remains of the oncs numerous bison fam
lily Of the great plains. II has been deter
mined that of the millions which once
roamed the prairies Of the West only 10 or
100 remain, and these located in the ex-
treme southwestern portion of Texas,
hundreds of miles from the nearest habi-
tation Of man. This expedition, which
is 10 start in few days, will
be under the leadership of @. J. Jones,
or "Buflalo" Jones'" as he is called from
his earlier habits in connection with the
big monarch of the plains. The remainder
Of the band will be composed Of six expert.
enced plainsmen and cowboys. Shepherd
dogs and several bloodhsunds will accom-
psny the party, whose business it will be
TO keep vigilsnt watch on the buffalo
after they have been "round up" while
corralling them or after their capture. A
representative Of tine Times will accompany
the expedition, and his duties will be TO
reduce the latest occurrence TO writing on
the thinnest of manifold paper, attach IL
TO the feathery messenger and bid it an
affsctionate good bye and safe and speedy
journey. The pigeons will have been
homed at telegraph station nearest the
Seat of War" and owing to their instincts
they will ut once make correct fight for
this point, no matter where they are
freed.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Tariff will be
the suhject before the House during the
whole week, if the operation of the resolu-

not suspended. The general impression is
that it will not be suspended, but that
every day will be devoted to tariff discus

the River and Harbor bill will have the
right Of way, but ths managers Of that
measure disclaim any intention or desire
to interfere in the most remote way with
the continued consideration Of the Mills

The bill to forfeit unearned land grants,

dustry, and the copyright bill are all be-
fore the Senate in an unfinished State, and
will receive attention during the coming

stautly accommodating in the Treas

commercial aud agricultural prosperity,
and the tariff and revenue laws should be
amended in conformity with the Presi-
dents views, SO that taxation shall be i'd
justed to amply protect every American,
industry limited to the actual expenses OF
the Government. We favor his renomina-
ton at the st. Louis convention.

the public institutions and the govern.
ment of the State.
