The Proposed Park Extension.

~ LONG with the letter from its
Washington bureau, relating TO
the proposed enlargement OF
Yellowstone park, the Standard prints
this morning an outline plat. showing
what the proposed additions are and
which part of them would be an annex
alton of Montana territory to the park
domain. 1t will be seen that the bulk of
the territory which it Is proposed to an
mex must be contributed by the state
of Wyoming.
The section marked "E' Is the part
Montana would contrbute--it would be
taken from Gallatin county near the
boundary line between that county and
Idaho This Montana ground includes
the upper basin of Madison river with
a mountain region of high altitude. In
the formal recommendation TO the in
terror department, this is described as
Athe favorite wintering ground for elk
and antelope who drift over there from
their summer ranges In the park.
1t appears that the proposed additions
will nearly double the size OF the park.
Apparently the increase Is favored by
Secretary Bliss. Several Of the Rocky
Mountain estate senators. however, are
opposing the measure. Wyoming being
emphatic in its opposition.

Palmer's Argument in Behalf of Martin
and His Deputies.

ana Ills Deputies.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. March S.-The court
room was crowed to-day when ex-State's
Attorney Palmer began his argument for
the defense in the trial of Sheriff Martin
and his deputies. Mr.. Palmer said there
We're three propositions in this case:
First, that there was rioting in and
around Hazleton from the Sd to the 10th
of last September; second. that Sheriff
Martin was called to Hazleton to sup
press this rioting; third, that the mob
which marched to Lattimer was riotous,
law-breaking and disorderly.''
He argued that If the jury believed the
sheriff had given by direct command or
previous instructions, the order to fire,
then the deputies could not be found gull
ty of any crime, as they had obeyed the
order of their superior officer. who was
the supreme power at the time. He said:
IF you find that the strikers Were riot
Gus that the sheriff's or the deputies
lives were in danger, then the shooting
was justified, and neither the sheriff nor
the deputies can be held
District Attorney Martin made an adj
dress for the commonwealth.

BUFFALO COAT is SAD.

Special DISPATCH TO the Standard
Helena. March s.-Buffalo Coat, one of
the Cree Indian leaders on this side of
the line, who is with an encampment of
the renegades now stopping several miles
from town near old Montana City. called
at the executive office to-day to see Gov
ernor Smith. Through an interpreter he
said he called to inquire whether the gov
ernor could not do something for him and
his followers. He said there were about
10 families who have returned to Mon
tana because they did not like the treat
ment they received across the line. The
returning wanderers are at Havre, Bill
lings. Butte and Montana City, considera-
bly, the worse for a scarcity of grub. The
sub-chfef. for such he is said to be, de-
sired to learn il it would not be possible
for the state to provide some land for
them. and seemed considerably put out
when told the governor had no authority
to make such a provision. He exhibited
copy of what purported to be a decla-
ration of his intentions to become citi-
Zen of the United States. This was dated
Great Falls and bore the name of the then
1888 clerk of the court, w. NJ. Cockrill.
but the. signature is not that of the chair
man of the democratic state committee.
This paper was given to the old Cree by
Great Falls attorney, who conceived
the idea of trying to naturaliZe the Crees
in the belief that this would stave off
their deportation. The scheme did not
work and Buffalo Coat was sent across
the line with the rest of them Now he
seems possessed of the idea that the piece
of paper ought to entitle him to the
states assistance.
Buffalo's call has convinced the state
authorities that something should be done
to bring about the return to Canada of
these truants, and it is not improbable
that the Montana representatives at
Washington will be asked to take the
matter up with the state department.

rHE war poets are not to be out

in breaking down the defenses of some
of the ablest newspapers in the land
scattering death and desolation through

is only eaualed by the scope and accur-
acy of their information and the abso-

the speedy downfall of Spain and the
reassertion of the American eagle as
the acknowledged ruler of the interna-
