ut Omaha is testimonial TO his cour.
age. skill and pluck in the chase. Every
one of the adult animals was run down,
lassoed and tied with his own hands.
His last aud greatest feat was in May,
1888. There was known to be at that
time small herd in the uninhabited
"panhapdle" OF Texas which could not
long escape the rifle. With an elaborate
"outft" of men, horses aud camp equip.
age Mr.. Jones started from Garden City,
Kan, to capture it. For forty-two days
and nights the party followed the ami
mails across the Staked Plains until they
had finally lassoed or rounded up the
entire herd. Only buffalo hunters eau
realize what such an achievement means.
From this herd "Buffalo' Jones now
secures three or four full-blcoded buffalo
calves each year and number OF half
breeds catalo, he calls them. The
hybrid product of the buffalo aud Gallo
way cattle is magnificent animal. Its
robe is nearly black, fine and silky in
texture ana with brilliant lustre
Characteristic of the Galloway cattle.
For enough of one of these robes to
make q coat Lady Foster, wife of
Treasurer Foster, of Canada, once
offered Mr.. Jones $500, saying she pre-
ferrcd it to the seal.
In half-breeds the domestic animal
seems to predominant, and the casual
observer might not notice the long hair,
the small hump at the shoulders aud the
slight shagginess about the head. These
catalo have been bred back until they
were only one-sixteenth domestic, when
even trained eye could see no differ
ence from the full-blooded buffalo.
The profits of buffalo raising arc very
considerable. The animal feeds cheaply
and looks after himself in all sorts of

pitchiorks were used by men when going
about among the animals; but the buf-
faloes were intelligent enough to COM
prehend the nature of the sharp tines.
and when the pitchforks were not to BIZ
seen they reasserted their majesty. Mr..
Jones hit upon the device of having short
pieces of gaspipe plugged at either end
with wood and these plugs tillei with
sharp brads. These weapons were carried
concealed, and when animals became de-
monstratiya they were jab5ed into the
tough hides or hurled at the big humps
with all the force possible. At first the
burly fellows received these attacks with
panied surprise, but in time they ap.
parently concluded that these mysteri-
Gus prods were part of man and they
had better not provoke attack. at any
rate, they have become quite docile
under that treatment. Men go among
them freely, separating them or driving
them about as readily as though they
were so many COWS.
In connection with his work of domes.
ticstion, Mr.. Jones has experimental
with the buffalo's fur and has succeeded
in making cloth as fine as lambs wool.
Under the long, coarse hair of the ami
NAL Is short fur of the softness of
swansdown. When the hair is shed in
the summer the under fur either falls off
or is plucked by hand. In the latter
case the animal is tied, and the more
unruly are thrown to the ground aud
their legs fastened by ropes to posts
fore and aft. There ARE ten to twelve
pounds of fur on an animal, enough
to make big brown blanket as
warm as an oldtime buffalo robe and
as light as bedspread. This
cloth sells as high as $50 a yard. Mr..

way of perpetuating the species. Mr.
Charles Goodnight, of Clarendon,
Texas has nine hnad In Tho Philadal


Charles Goodnight, of Clarendon,
Texas. has nine head. In the Phiadel.
phia Geological Gardens there are eight.
In Lincoln Park, Chicago, there are six
head, and in half dozen other places
there are held groups of two and three
and several single animals.
With the Jones herd an earnest and
intelligent effort is being made to save
the species from utter extinction, and
the fact thatth animal may be domesti-
Gated and make source of profit has
also been demonstrated.
Mr.. Jones is perfectly well qualified
for this task. He was in the centre of
distribution of the great Southern herd
from 1866 until their final disappear
ance, and was by profession buffalo
hunter. When the great slaughter be-
gan in 1871 he was employed by his
neighbors to shoot buffalo at fifty cents
head, and they would follow and Sc
cure the hides. His method was what
is known as 'still-hunting," and he had
averaged from thirty to forty head a
day. On one occasion he shot seventy
two head without shifting his ground.
He acknowledged that he was frequently
ashamed of his work, but with the whole
country out hunting he did not feel like
missing his share. In 1878 he began
to realize that the wholesale slaughter
was beginning to make inroads upon
what then appeared an inexhaustsble
supply of game, and made his first effort
to preserve the species. On the Solomon
River in Western Kanses, he captured
seven calves which he subsequently sold.
he went on expeditions to the fast re-
ceding haunts of the animals each year
aftewaYd until 1888. and the herd now

SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS.

Ex-senator Hampton Declines to Sup
port the populist Platform.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 2.-Since the Farmers
Alliance of South Carolina voted that as q
prerequisite to receiving alliance votes all
candidates in Democratic primaries next
year must pledge themselves to support
the Ocala platform. indorsed by the
Populists at Omaha, against the platform
Of any political party, the belief is con-
firmed by the declaration in the silver
debate by Senator hby, who is State
Democratic Chairman that ii conditional
repeal should prevail he and his people,
the alliance men, would refuse to follow
Democrat leadership further, and he
would vote against any tariff reform
measure introduced in behalf of the Ma
tional Administration.
The probable result of this policy was
Indicated in a letter from General v ade
Hampton, Federal Commissioner Of Rail
roads, to the editor of the C0L1Hl63a State:
My own Judgment is clear that the time
has come when the line should be drawn
between those who stand on the Ocala
platform and those who stand on that of the
national Democracy. No man who up
holds the former can claim properly to be
a Democrat, and unless our people choose
to support the fallaciesAOf the Ocala ad-
herents, or to be led into the Populist
party, true Democrats of the State should
organize and maintain the principles of
the Democratic party as set forth in the
Chicago platform. If my Democratic
fellow-citiZens agree with me that this is
the true policy to be adopted, shall at
once proceed to organize National Demo-
cratic Clubs throughout the State, and l
shall exert my utmost efforts to keep the
State where it properly belongs-in the
great Democratic column"

The lock combination and hinges were
broken. but they could not force the door.
Tools, books and contents Of the safe, ex-
cept the money, were found scattered
around. The wagon was tracked from
the depot to Wells, Fargo & Co.'s office,

LONDON, Nov. 2.-On October 30th T.
L. OConnor, President of the Irish Ma
tIonal League of Great Britain, sent a let
ter to the General Manager of the Asso-
ciated Press criticising the Parnel wing
OF the Irish party and accusing it of de-
serting Gladstone. To-day John Red
mond, leader of the Parnellites, writes to
the General Manager of the Associated
Press in reply. He says the attitude of
the Parnellites has been misrepresented;
that 1t is not the PRONUNCIATION of a new
policy. and that the policy of the Par
nellites toward the Liberal party is pre-
cisely what it has been all along.
The Parnellites are willing to support
the Liberals as long as they remain true
to the pledges of Ireland. but are abso--
lutely independent, and mean to let them
know that in paltering with home rule'
they convert the ParnelIites from sup-
porters into opponents. 1t is not the ins
tention OF the ParnelliteS to throw Glad~t
stone out OF power and restore Salisbury
What they intend is to give the present
Government to understand their exist.
ence depends on Irish votes, and that the
price to be paid therefor is adherence 10
heir pledges on the question of home
rule.
The reason for calling attention to this
fact is that now the attitude of the Liberal
party toward home rule has entirely
changed since ParnelPs death. Gladstone
then declared that Ireland blocked the
way, and the only way TO get legislation
Tor British interests was to first pass
nome rule. But now it is proposed to
uang up home rule and take up long
list of British reforms, forgetting the
promises of a strong fight if the House of
Lords rejected the measure, in order, as
they claim, to be able to carry the next
election.
Redmond admits the truth of this
claim, but says it is the intention of the
party 10 see that only the proper kind of
British reforms are proceeded with, and
hat elections are not Indefinitely post
ooned. Otherwise home rule will be
lnng up Indefinitely. He declares if the
Newcastle programme is carried out home
rule will not come up again in five or six
years. lie points out that Gladstone is
an old man, and to put home rule off so
-ong would be to relegate it to the mercy
Of some one unfriendly or less able to
effect his desires than Gladstone. There
3ore Ireland must continue to block the
way.
Redmond declares that if the Parnell-
ties can have the assurance that the dis
solution Of Parliament will take place at
the end of 1894, they will be content to
help purely British measures duling all
the next year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The Populists
in Congress are elated over the prospec-
tive result of the fight for unconditional
repeal, and claim that it will mass the ad
vocates of free silver in the South and
West under their banner. They say that
they expect to capture the Presidency in
1896, and are already seriously discussing
candidates. There is strong sentiment
IN favor OF Jerry Simpson, and PETER has
following; but Allen of Nebraska, who
held the Senate in a titteen-hour speech,
seems to have charmed the members of
his party in the House to such an extent
that he is now enjoying a Presidential
boom. Watson of Georgia is spoken Of

PORTLAND (Or.), Nov. 2.-The Coroner's s
Jury to-day resumed investigation of
the Madison-street bridge disaster. The
testimony thus far taken has elected
nothing beyond what has already been
published. The verdict will not be
reached before tonight, If then.
1t is settled beyond question that Paul
Oder and Charles Albee were among the
drowned, making the total number
drowned seven. They were seen on the
car before it plunged into the river, and
nothing has been heard of them since.
The search for their bodies continues.
LATER.-Grappling for the bodies of
victims Of the electric car accident was
continued all day. This afternoon the
body of Charles S. Albee was tished up.
but before it came to the surface the hold
on the body was loosened and it sank
again. 1t is supposed that the body of a
man named Peterson was also grappled
at the same time, and it is said Albee and
Peterson went down together. Paul
Oder is still missing, making in all eight
victims.
