CIsNABAR, Mon. April s-The President
has gone up into the Yellowstone Park
for his two weeks fun. There is every
Indication that he will have an opportunity
TO enjoy himself. Trails have been broken
through most parts Of the park.
He will ma ke his headquarters at camp
not very far from tho army post at the
Mammoth Springs Hotel. Other camps
have been established at different points
in the park selected for the frequency with
which various sorts OF game appear In
them. With John Burroughs. the President

Two weeks from to-day he will come
back TO Cinnabar and lead an excursion
Of all the rest OF his party. who are now

siding, through part of the park.

In three miles from Cinnabar and inside
the park limits. at half past n O'Clock to-
day. Major Pitcher OF the Third Cavalry
and Capt. Letcher Of the Engineer Corps
were there to meet him with troop OF
cavalry and several ambulances. The
President addressed the people who had
gathered. including q noisy squad Of cow
boys. Then he mounted q horse and headed
thO procession up the trail into the noun
ta1n0. An ambulance following carried
Mr.. Burroughs, and this was followed by
another ambulance. in which were DR.. RE- ~.
Secretary Loeb, ex Senator Thomas Carter
Assistant Secretary Barnes. President
Mellen Of the Northern Pacific. and some
officers Of the Yellowstone Hotel Company.
They all had lunch together at Major
Pitchers house, and then most OF the party
returned to Cinnabar.
All except Mr.. Loeb and Mr.. Barnes
boarded Mr.. Mellen's private car on their
return and went back to Livingston. Sur
geon General Rixey will 60 directly to Wash
days, coming back here to join the Presi-
dent on April "a for the rest Of his trip to
the Pacific Coast.
The presence Of the Presidents party
has nearly doubled the population OF Gin
nabar. Ii lisa little town, on nat between
tain ranges. The Yellowstone River runs
down one side of the valley, and sage brush.
two saloons, a so-called hotel and four or
Ave cabins make up the rest OF the land
scape. The party has both telegraph and
telephone communication with Major
Pitchers house.
This has been the warmest day the CHINA
bar fat has known for nearly year. Shirt
sleeves have been comfortable in the sun.
Two horses were killed up In the park yee..
terday in the effort to break through trail
for the President.
The presence Of the Sioux chiefs at Bis
marck yesterday TO greet the President was
regarded by most of the North Dakota
politicians as joke. and rather tiresome
one. One committee OF Indians was put
out of the building just before the Presi-
dent arrived and did not get an opportunity
to talk to him.
II might be remembered that thirty years
ago the people Of Bismarck found one OF
their fellow citizens staked out on the
prairie within mile Of the place where
the State capitol is now. There was not
much left of that fellow citizen because
fire had been built on top Of him, and there
were evidences that he was not dead when
the fire was started. Some Of the folks
who we're around in those days were in
Bismarck yesterday and they don't love
the subjugated red brother.
The old veterans of the Custer massacre
nodded to the President with most untra-
sented to him memorial written In Sioux.
accompanied by translation in English.

he Great Father:
We have never seen the Great Father.
We are glad he has come here. We want to
see him and shake hands. We would like
him TO have a nice Journey and hope he will
reach home safe. We would like permission
10 request that the father see a dele cation
OF Sioux chieftains at Washington. We have
many important matters to say to him.
Our children are in these splendid schools
and now we see the benefit In good educa-
ton for our children. We also appreciate
our great father will build large school
here near home. We have thought when
our children went far away East to school
IL was not as good for them "a near home.
They come back sick from changing country.
We desire to offer our thanks for building
large schools here. We have been treated
well by the great father and we hope he will
be again our great father when his time IL
over and for our new agent. Major Carigan,
we hope the same. To show our good feel
ing TO the great father we present this pipe
of peace and this tobacco pouch. We hope
the great father may have good health and
love OF his people.
The pipe and the tobacco pouch which
they gave to the President were OF the
ordinary Indian design and were distin-
guished only by a great abundance Of
beadwork
