Enlarging the National Park.
From, the New York Times.


The current number of Garden and
Forest contains an article, evidently
from a well-informed and authoritative
source, explaining the bill now before
the House for the enlargement ana
maintenance of the Yellowstone Park.
The enlargement, it appears, is needed
not only by reason Of the large number
of picturesque natural features it would
add to the park, and thus preserve, but
also and especially for the sake of pre-
serving the forests which protect the
main feeder of the Yellowstone Lake
and Snake River. With the diminished
water supply that would follow
the clearing of these forests,
it is explained, the "grand scenic effects
of the park would be wholly wanting
The geysers, hot springs and waterfalls
would be despoiled of their charm. -
The opposition to the bill comes from
a small lobby interested In a corporation
that is trying to run railroad through
the park. Obviously, NO railroad should
be permitted in the park or can be
admitted without danger. The ostensible
object of this corporation is to reach the
mines to the northeast Of the park-the
object which the friends of the bill are
willing to attain by readjusting the
northeastern boundary of the park. To
this the corporation objects because
any railroad may row be built to the
mines in question. That is, it desires a
monopoly. It is to be hoped that an
opposition so greedily selfish will have
no weight in the House.

A Republic in Asia.

From the San Fra ncisco Chronicle.
They tell in Paris a curious story
an Asiatic republic, in which appears
the name of member of the family of
Capt. Sims, of the Alabama. The repub-
lie in question was situated in the upper
part of the valley of the Amoor, and
had it's origin in the discovery of gold
dust on one of the Amoor's branches.
This was some five or six years ago. So
MANY COssacks flocked to this region
that the population soon reached 10000,
and as some form of government was
needed it was decided to form repub-
lie called Sheltouga, with the Baron
Korf as president. The territory is on
the boundaries of the Chinese Empire,
so far from Pekin and SO isolated by the
great Desert of Cobb, that for some
years the Chinese authorities did not
know of its existence.
AS to Russia, she naturally knew
where her subjects we're and what they
were doing, but said nothing. When
the republic was in it's most prosperous
condition Miss Sims, of famous memory,
appeared among the miners, where she
created as great sensation as did the
first woman that appeared in San Fran
cisco in 1S49. President Korf was SO
fascinated with the charming American
that he married her and gave her a
quantity of gold dust or nuggets, which
she, not having great confidence in the
permanence of the republic, sent to a
safe place at distance from Sheltouga.
Her fears were in time realized. The
Chinese heard of the existence Of the
republic, and, being covetous of the
gold, brought the matter to the atten-
ton of the Gar, who could not reason
ably interfere. A small army was sent
against the Sheltougans, which they de-
feated A larger was put in the field,
and as further resistance was impossi-

"A Car of Ignite Coal Shipped From

be Tested.
At the Bridge.

A TRIBUNE representative made an in
~vestigation Of the crews and apparatus
employed in filling the trestle on the Man
dan side of the bridge Friday. 1t is a
novel sight. AS you approach the river
from Bismarck you are attracted by the
amount of dirt that has been removed and
the difference in the appearance of the
river scene from what it formerly was.
sHOn this side is %excavator No. 96, which is
working in a hard, sticky substance, which
although representing clay is in reality
u the early formation of stone and is the
{ most difficult to handle. AS high as
Y twenty-four pounds of dynamite is used at
one blast to dislodge it so the shovel can
handle the same. One engine spots the
scarS for this eXcavator and another con.
'veys the dirt to the other side where it is
unloaded by a large pillow, covering the
top OF the car and drawn by the engine.
The other e%xcavat0r is working at Sunny
side. about three miles beyond Msndan.
Here the soil is sandy and easy to handle.
One engine is employed to spot cars there
and two are kept constantly on the road,
putting as high as a 100 car loads in the
I'LL in one day. Altogether over one hun
dred men are employed and the grade is
being filled at the rate of 240 car loads a
day, yet it is so large that it will lake
months to complete the work.
