Washington, Jan. 1.-THE campaign
of government authorities to suppress
the poaching operations against the
few remaining buffalo in the Yellow
stone National Park is reported by
Acting superintendent Anderson in a
communication to Secretary Smith
Captain Anderson says he employed a
detective during the winter among the
poachers, working from Idaho. Then
TWO expeditions We're dispatched to
that region. They came upon a party
of poachers and pursued them out of
the park, firing upon them and killing
one of their horses.
James Courtney, of Henry's lake, was
captured while delivering plumber to
w. F. Witch. Butte taxidermist. Al
the subsequent trial he was acquitted
on a claim that the spoils were OBJ
tanned in Idaho. outside the park.

the capture has resulted in thoroughly
stampeding and demoralizing the
poachers.
The interior department officials say
that unlike Montana, poaching is not
made felony throughout the year in
Wyoming and Idaho.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE storm of
criticism that has been provoked among
the members of the Protestant Eplsco-
pal denomination throughout the coun-
try by the un-American sermon deliv-
cred in Dubuque, Iowa, a couple of
weeks since by Rt. Rev. w. S. Perry,
the bishop of that diocese, and which

oped the fact that this is not the first
time that the prelate in question has
fallen afoul of the country Of his birth
and its institutions, and has manifest
ed his predictions for the rotten and

since, while on a steamship en- route to
a Mediterranean port, he seized the oc-
casion offered by a patriotic celebra-
ton of Washington's birthday which
had been organized by his fellow pas
sengers, to deliver a heated address In
antagonism to the spirit of the occa-
sion, and in which he compared the
monarchism of Great Britain and the
imperialism of Germany with the re-
publlcanism of the United States to the
decided disadvantage of the latter. So
pointed were his remarks of derogation
of his own country that ex-Minister to
Belgium Lambert Tree. who was one of
the passengers felt 1t incumbent upon
him to come to the defense of his coun-
try and his flag, in a speech which was
