PLEASED BY THE PARK.
Roosevelt Wants BuffalOes Cross
Bred with Cattle.

Gardiner, Mont, April 24-President
Roosevelt this afternoon resumed his
tour. Before going, however, he par
ticipated in the laying of the corner
stone of the new gate at the northern
entrance to Yellowstone Yark.
The ceremony was performed &C
cording to the Masonic ritual, and was
in charge of the grand officers of the
state of Montana. The President rode
down from the post, accompanied by
Maj Pitcher, and was escorted to the
gaily decorated stand, where he deliv-
cred an address.
The President began his address by
thanking the people and the soldiers
for his enjoyable two weeks holidays,
and then spoke of the natural Won
ders of the park.
THE Yellowstone Park" he said, sis
something unique in this world, as far
as l know Nowhere else in any CIV
ilized country is there to be found such
a tract of veritable wonderland, made
accessible to all visitors, where at the
same time not only the scenery OF The
wilderness, but the wild creatures OF
the park, are scrupulously preserved
as they are here, the only change be-
have been so carefully protected as to
show literally astounding tameness.
THE creation and preservation OF
such natural playground in the
midst Of our people as whole, is a
credit to the nation, but above ALL
credit to Montana, Wyoming and Ida
no. 1t has been preserved with wise
foresight. The scheme of it's preser-
walton is noteworthy in it's essential
| democracy. This park was created
and now is administered for the bene-
fit and enjoyment of the people. The
government must continue to appro-
pirate for 1T, and especially in the di-
rection of completing and perfecting
and excellent system of driveways."
After referring to the Importance OF
| forest preservation and expressing his
establishment at the large number OF
wild animals in the park, the Presi-
| dent said:
Il wish very much that the govern
ment could provide somewhere for an
experimental breeding station of cross
breeds between buffalo and the COM
mon cattle. If these cross breeds
| could be successfully perpetuated, we
| could have animals which would pro-
duce robe quite as good as the old
buffalo robe, with which twenty years
! ago everyone was familiar, animals
| moreover which would be so hardy
| that l think they would have a dis
tinct commercial Importance"
At the conclusion of the ceremonies

plation a forcible joint protest on the
part of Great Britain the United States
and Japan against the Russian de-
mands in the matter of the sovereignty
of Manchuria.
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne intends
to circulate pourparlers looking to
joint action from Washington, London
and Toxic, provided further. Informal
ton sustains the present abstract of
the Russian demands.
The Associated Press is authorized
by the foreign office to state that if
the Chinese government correctly rep
resents Russia's claims these claims
constitute an absolute breach of all the
undertakings given in connection with
Manchuria and utterly abrogate the
principles of the open door territorial
division and international comfy to
which the British government has con-
stantly and publicly committed itself.
1t is added that in these principles
Great Britain has always acted in
concert with the United States, and
it is presumed that similar feelings
exist at Washington.
1t is said that Russia's explanation
may throw different light on her
demands, although in official circles
there is a frank expression of the be-
lief that the Russian government has
no intention of evacuating Manchuria,
and that she hopes after demanding
the maximum to secure a compromise.

Amcricans-It Is Urged That They
Preach n Belief Incompatible With
Morals and That POlygamy Is NOT
ExcIuded-Othcr Governments May
Take Same COurse-Bavaria Acted
Some Time Ago.
Berlin, April 24.-The government of
Prussia and of the Grand Duchy of
Mecklenburg have decided to expel the
Mormon missionaries, of whom there
are las in Germany and 80 in Prussia,
on the ground that they are propagat-
ing a form of religious belief incom-
patible with the laws of the state and
public morals, and because polygamy
is not excluded from their doctrines.
The missionaries, who are all Ameri-
cans, will be allowed sufficient time to
settle up their personal affairs.
None of the Mormons has yet been
deported. The government of Prussia
| defines the expulsion as being simply
police measure, for which no expla-
nation need be made
When a Mormon arrived in a German
village he would rent a hall and begin
to preach the new faith, and the com
mon result was that the local pastor
of the state church or the Catholic
priest of the parish would complain to
the police, who not infrequently order
| ed the missionary to leave. The lat
ter would then telegraph to the Nor
mon bishop in Berlin, who through
the United States embassy would OBJ
tain a suspension of the police order
indefinitely or it's cancellation.
Too Many Appeals Made.
The Foreign Office, owing to the
number of cases pending, took up the
subject with the view of settling the
status of the Mormons for good, in
stead of being bothered by numerous
! individual cases. - The result has been
the decisions of Prussia and Mecklell-
burg to expel the Mormons, which
course is likely to be followed by Sax
ony, where there are twenty-five mis-
sionaries, and by other states.
Bavaria some time ago decreed the
expulsion of the Mormons, and, they
| quietly left without creating stir or
attracting discussion.
Bishop Cannon, who has been in
| formed officially of Prussias and
| Mecklenburg's decisions, has not yet
determined what to do, but he will en-
deavor to obtain a reversal of the poll
| icy. He affirms that the missionaries
never teach polygamy, never persuade
| their adherents to emigrate and al
ways admonish obedience to the laws.

Ohio, and must condemn any move
ment such as you speak of as being
unwise and undesirable.
