WANTS BISON SAVED.
Col. Buffalo jones' Plan Endorsed
by Many Congressman.
Asks for the Setting Apart of n Large
Preserve for the American
Buffalo In the Territory
of New Mexico.
Especial Washington Letter.l

6sD UFFALo JONES" is here,
and will remain until he
can accomplish the object
of his coming.
Congressman Lacey, of Iowa, chair
man of the committee on public lands,
has introduced bill "to set apart u
preserve for the American bison," and
1t is proposed to place this preserve in
charge of Buffalo Jones'"
Inasmuch as Congressman Lacey has
great influence in the house of repre-
sentatives, because he is chairman of
the committee on public lands, and in
asmuch as that committee will have
charge of the pending bill, it seems
likely that the measure will, in due
season, become law. 1t is regarded
as very important proposition by all
congressman who have had time to give
1t consideration, and a majority of
them seem to spontaneously favor it.
The proposed preserve is to be To-
Gated near the southeast corner of
the territory of New Mexico, and is to
be 40 miles square. Col. Jones says
that any smaller area would be use
less for many reasons. In the first
place, he says that the buffalo is liv-
ing barometer. He can tell when it
is going to rain, or snow, or
blow and he knows how to con.
duct himself accordingly. In a
range of 40 miles a buffalo can
take care of himself, and hide in can.

Iachinists strike.

Columbus, March 3.-About $50 ma
chinists in Columbus have gone out on
a strike. The machinists demand that
employers sign an agreement not to
discharge man who has been em-
ployed for 80 days, on the grounds of
incompetency. The machinists claim
that 80 days will establish his ability
or lack of it. Several increases in
wages and changes in the scale are
also demanded.
