YELLOWSTONE PARK,
Not Gun Fired Within Its Limits for a
Year.

Capt. Boutelle, who is in command of the
United States troops stationed in the Yellow
stone park, called on the Secretary of the In
terror the other day and gave him very graft
flying account Of the condition of affairs there
The captain said that the forest fires which we're
formerly SO prevalent have been checked and
during the past year no fires of any conse-
quence have broken out. He also said that not
a gun had been fired during the year within
the confines of the park and as a result the
elks deer, buffaloes, mountain ions bears,
beavers and other wild animals are
increasing rapidly and becoming quite
tame. He mentioned 1t as curious
fact that the animals seemed to know that they
were safe in the park. They seemed to have
no fear in the presence Of man while in the
park, but if they happened to be outside of the
limits and q man came in sight they at once ran
away. The herds Of buffaloes, deers, &C., are
increasing in number and the fear that these
animals will become extinct, the captain said
would not be realized as long as the park con-
tinued to be protected from the inroads Of the
hunters.

The Commissioners asked to have the appro-
priation for sidewalks increased from 800, 900

DISTRICT DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Important Measures Which WIN Prob.
ably DO Taken Up Next Monday.

Next Monday will bs District day in the
House. Several very important measures are
ready for discussion and the day will, in all
probability, be busy one.s The bill of the
greatest interest b naturally the one provid.
ing for the Rock Creek park or the Columbus
memorial park, a. IL 10 proposed
in An amendment to call it
This bill has been thoroughly discussed in TIE
STAR. Another bin Is the one chartering the
Rock Creek railroad. A third il for the estab.
fishing Of the Office Of inspector Of hay, straw,
&C., for the District, and the last pays Thomas
Parker go, which he erroneously paid for
taxea
Two other bills may be reported in time for
Mondays session, although it is 90 doubtful as
to be almost impossible. These bills charter
the Georgetown and Arlington railway and es-
tablish free bathing beach on the Potomac.
They are both in the hands Of the Secretary Of
War for his report on their advisability.
THE ROCK CREEK PARK BILL
OF the four bills on the calendar the only one
likely to excite much discussion is the Colum-
bus memorial park bill and it is not known that
up. although il is likely that
a number Of members will feel called upon to
exhibit their eloquence. The display Of words
will, however, not come from the committee
protect the bill Chairman Circuit says
he knows OF no opposition to the
bill in the House, although he viii not be sur
prised to find some, as bills appropriating over
sl,ooO,0o0 rarely pass without argument and
opposition. 1.-THE members, too" continued
the chairman, twill naturally want to dis
cuss the various sections Of the bill out
side Of the general scheme itself. The bill
however, will be pushed to the utmost by the
committee, and Washington can rest assured
that every effort will be made to have it passed
before adjournment on Monday"
The STAR reporter talked with several men,
bers Of the House, but could find no one likely
to seriously oppose the bill.

What bishop Esher Nav Do.

READING, Pa, March 22--The secretary Of
the committee that tried and deposed Bishop
Esher Of Chicago from Office, Rev. F. Smith Of
Lebanon. has been instructed to notify all the
conferences of the evangelical churches in
America and Germany that he has been sus-
pended as a bishop and preacher. and this will
be done at once. 1t was also decided to send q
copy to Bishop Esher, probably by express
but it is not believed that he will receive il.
Bishop Esher recently gave public notice
that, notwithstanding that Bishop Bowman had
been deposed from Office in Chicago, Bowman
was still bishop, and it is supposed that Esher
will insist upon continuing in Office on the same
ground unless the courts are appealed to.

Arrangements and Sentences.

In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing-
ham, a number Of arrangements took place
this morning. Ambrose M. Brown, charged
with false pretenses, plead guilty. He said
that it was from his uncle and aunt he obtained
the money and articles he was charged with
obtaining, and he had reason TO believe that
they would not prosecute him. The court was
inclined to be lenient, but the record
showed that he had been up on similar charges
before and had served time in the peniten-
tiary, from whence he returned last July. The
third sentence, ordinarily, where two sem
fences had been served, the court said, would be
increased, but as he was yet young he would
make the sentence two years in Albany peni-
