Roosevelt's vacation Is at an end. He
greeted the members of his party end a
large number of people at the Mammoth
Hot Springs in Yellowstone Park today,
and tomorrow he Trill resume his tour,
which la to end la. "Washington June 5.
The President, who arrived at Yellow
stone yesterday. Is the picture of health,
and It can be seen at a glance that the
time he has spent In the pari has been
greatly beneficial to him. Ills eye Is
bright and his face Is bronzed. He speaks
Jn enthusiastic terms pt tire park 3d of
the good time be had while touring .t.
Word had gone forth several days aco
that he would meet the people llvins tn
the park and vicinity this zaornlaf. and
when "he arrived at the Mammoth Hot
Springs Hotel, where "the reception vas
held, he found a couple of hundred men
and women there to greet him. The
President addressed theni briefly, speak
ing of the good time he had had during
fcihe. past two weeks, and then shook
hands with each-or?. He spent tha rest of
the day in Inspecting the post end rtdlL
horseback with Major Pitcher. Before
starting tomqrrow. be will participate In
the laying of the corner-stone of the new
gate at the entrance to the park.
The President and all those who ac
companied him on his tour of the park
are delighted with the trip. No accident
occurred, and the weather was most of
the time delightful.. John Burroughs, who
accompanied the President most of the
time, waa also greatly benefited by his
outdoor life, and bis face is also bronzed.
Honrs Anions the Elk.
The President spent most of his time
in studying the habits of the different
species of game which abound in the park.
He would lie for hours near a herd of
elk or mountain goats; and frequently
walk tar eight or ten miles to observe
them. He also studied bird life with Mr.
Burroughs, and showed himself particu
larly well posted on this subject. Mr.
Burroughs nas Able to show him but one
bird with which he was not acquainted,
namely, the soltalre. The President's
camp was composed of two Sibley tents
and one wall tent, without board floor,,
and. while everything was very simple,
yet It was quite comfortable. The party
that accompanied him waa a small one,
consisting of Major Pitcher, Mr. Bur
roughs, a couple of orderlies and two
cooks. There was also a small force of
men to man the pack wagons.
"While fortunately there were no acci
dents, a number of amusing Incidents oc
curred. One of them happened during the
President's visit to Geyser Land a few
days ago. The President and Mr. Bur
roughs were on skeea and started to race
down hllL The snow waa soft, and Mr.
Burroughn, who had never used a skee be
fore, soon found himself with his head
In the snow and his feet In the air. He
had hardly "struggled to his feet when
the President repeated the performance.
Neither one was hurt, but Major Ptcher
secured excellent photographs of the cat
astrophe, which be has promised to have
developed.
The party was fortunate In running
across game. Thousands of elk and deer
and a number of mountain sheep and
goats were encountered, and their habits
were closely studied. The President and
Mr. Burroughs also saw many strange
birds, and the latter Is quite enthusiastic
over some of the feathered tribe that in
habit the park.
One Nnrroir Escape.
"While no accident occurred, the Presi
dent had a number of narrow escapes.
One day. In company with Major Pitcher,
he fired a new revolver at a tree. The
weapon was defective and the empty shell
flew back and truck the President on
the cheek, drawlng.blood. If It had struck
a little higher up It would nave Injured,
if not blinded, an eye. This bit of tar
get practice was the only time the Presi
dent used a firearm during his tour of
the park.
The President rode a big- gray horse
named Bonaparte during the whole of his
tour. The horse belongs to Troop B,
Third Cavalry, and Is one of the surest
footed animals In the park. He showed
what be could do In the first day out.
To reach the first camp, which waa named
by the soldiers Camp Roosevelt, it was
necessary to traverse for about two miles
a narrow mountainous trait which was
covered with ice. Some of the party dis
mounted and led their horses down the
trail, for a misstep meant death or serious
Injury, but the President stuck to the
raddle and .guided Bonaparte safely down
the trail.
The longest walk enjoyed by the Presi
dent was taken on Easter Sunday. He
started out alone In -the morning, declin
ing the offer of other members of the
party to accompany him. He sprat the
day In climbing mountains and wilktng
along the trail. He covered fully S miles,
and did not return to camp until 7 o'clock
in the evening. When Major Pitcher
found the President was determined to
go by himself, hf Induced him to take a
revolver, so that he could signal tn case
of accident.
The first three d ays In camp the
weather was extremely cold and the
President was compelled to break the Ice
In Tils bucket before performing his morn
ing ablutions.
Dlnry of the Vacation.

camp, and the following extracts from It

TYNER IS FIRED.
(Continued from irUzl Page.)
The case, however, he added, would be
In the hands of the Department of Jus
tice tomorrow, and what further steps
will be taken will be decided by the Attorney-General.
He did not care to ven
ture any prediction as to the outcome.
Mr. Tyner, at the time the capers were
taken, was still technically Assistant Attorney-General,
and this fact will figure
In the consideration of the question by
the Department of Justice. It' Is pointed
out. however, that, although Mr. Tyner
still held the office, his resignation not
having yet become operative, the accept
ance of the resignation was with the
strict understanding, specifically stated in
the letter of acceptance, that he would
not attempt to administer the duties of
his office. It is fully realized by the
Postmaster-General that the case pre
sents a delicate situation, and for that
reason he declined today to enter into a
discussion of the facts.
Tyner a Veteran Official.
Mr. Tyner has been In the Government
service in various Important capacities
for many years. He is from Indiana. He
served aa Assistant Attorney-General for
the Postoffice Department, and later was
First Assistant Postmaster-General. Sub
sequently he became Postmaster-General,
and later he again assumed office In tho
department. He is one of the best-known
men In official life in "Washington. He
and Mrs. Tyner and President and Mrs.
Grant were intimate friends. During the
Universal Postal Congress, which met
here In 1S97. he was one of the committee
which represented this Government.
An effort made tonight to obtain from
Mr. Tyner or Mrs. Tyner a statement
met with ho success, Mrs. Tyner stating
that they' bad nothing ta say on the sub
ject. The suggestion was thrown out that
there might be something to give out by
General TynerVi side some time In the
future. Mrs. Tyner apparently took the
matter very coolly. If at all concerned
about the Postmaster-General's letter, she
did not enow it in her manner to those
who called at the house during the even
ing. "While refusing to admit directly
that General Tyner received Mr. Payne's
letter. It was evident from her answers
to the queries on the subject that he
either bad received It or had been made
acquainted with its contents.
General Tyner Is In a very weak and
almost helpless condition from his long
sickness. He remains In his room most
of the time and sees very few callers.
Statement of Tyner's Lawyer.
After General Tyner had received the
letter of dismissal from Postmaster-General
Payne he called into consultation
R. Rots Perry and L. T. Mlchener, attor
neys In this city, who are Intimate friends,
regarding the matter. These gentlemen
later In the evening Issued a statement
asking for a suspension of Judgment in
the case. The papers taken from the
safe, the statement says, are now in pos
session of General Tyner In the same
condition they were when tiken from the
safe. They are all the private papers of
General and Mrs. Tyner, save one bun
dle, which relates to a matter not at all
connected with anything now pending In
the Department ami long since closed.
These papers will all be placed at the dis
posal of the proper authorities of the
Government.
Messrs. Perry and Mlchener will go to
the Department of Justice tomorrow and
communicate the facts In- the case to the
officials there, at the same time offering
to place at their disposal for examination
the pipers taken from the safe.

RUSSIA SHOWS HER HANLT
DEMANDS CES5IOX OF MAXCKURIA
BY CHI A.
Japanese Send "Warships and Call
for Action by Japan, United States
and Great Britain.
EEKIN. April a Russia has demanded
that China sign an agreement practically
ceding to her the sovereignty of Man
churia and excluding other nations from,
that country. The Russian Charge d'Af
falres. M. Planchon. has Informed Prince
Chlng. president of the Foreign Office,
that no further steps in the evacuation of
Manchuria will be taken until this agree
ment Is signed.
Prince Chisg refused the Russian terms,
but hi refusal probably pleases Russia
as wen aa bis acceptaneo would have
tfcr.o. because either alternative means the
relinquishment of Chinese sovereignty In
Manchuria.
The Ruvi.-r. demands are as follows:
First No rncra Mcnchurtan ports or
towns ere to be opened; second, no more
foreign Ccrxuls aro to be admitted into
ilinehurla; third, no foreigners except
ivussians cro to be employed n the public
ferric? cf CJanchuria; fourth, the present
statu of tie administration of Manchuria:
U to remain unchanged; fifth, the customs
receipts at the port of Nlu Chwang are
to be glyen to the Russo-Chinese Bank;
dxth, c. ranltary commission is tcr be or
ganized under Russian control; seventh,
nussla lj entitled to attrxh tho telegraph
wires and poles of all Cnlnese lines In
Manchuria, and. eighth, no territory in
Manchuria is to tc alienated to any other
power.
No explanation has been given to the
Chinese of tha Russian Interpretation of
the fourth demand. Chinese officials are
greatly disturbed, but they aro powerless.
While the foregoing demands were be
fore the Chinese for consideration. M.
Plaean assured his colleagues explicitly
that the only reason for the delay In re
storing the government of Nlu Chwang
to tho Chinese was the organization of a
sanitary commission.
ThVre has been much feeling In British
circles over the appointment cf a Russian
ewmmiv-Joncr in Nlu Chwang. but this
revelation of Russia's determination to re
tain control of Manchuria and close the
door there robs this appointment of Its
Importance.
The Chinese court returned to the For
bidden City today wtth a spectacular pro
cession from the hunting park.

The Russian demands for privileges In
Manchuria have excited the Japanese

confident that the United States as well

brought down his gavel and declared It
carried,
Fully half of the members of the House
appeared now to be standing on top of
their desks. On the Republican side, pear
the front, were Trautmann. Murray,
Church, Christian. Patterson. Schlaugen
hauf and RInaker. They were shouting
at the Speaker, protesting against tho
recess.
"No. you don't adjourn!" they were re
peating. Mr. Murray, from the top of his desk,
then addressed the House.
"Gentlemen of the House," said he, "I
notice that we are without a Speaker.
"The House Is adjourned." Interrupted
Representative Erlckson.
"No, It has not," was the reply from
several members.
Temporary Speaker Chosen.
"It la very evident." continued Mr. Mur
ray, waving hla- hands for silence, "that
we are without a Speaker at this mo
ment, and that there Is a majority here
and I therefore move that the honorable
Mr. Allen be made Speaker pro tern of
this House."
Amid great confusion Mr. Murray put
the motion and declared It carried. Mr.
Allen was hurried up to the chair, es
corted by Beltler, Trautmann. Christian,
Tloe and others. Speaker Miller had car
ried the gavel to his room and there was
a momentary embarrassment' owing to the
absence of this emblem of authority. Mrr
Schlaugenhauf. however, rose to this
emergency and brought up the round of
a disabled chair and handed It to Mr.
Allen.
The speaker was surrounded by a large
numbej- of members, both Democrats and
Republicans. He at once made an at
tempt to restore order and requested the
members to resume their seats.
In th midst of- the uproar one of the
clerks of the Senate announced a message
from the Senate. Speaker Allen recog
nized hlra and before the clerk knew Just
what be was doing the clerk of the House
read It. It was Impossible to hear him
and some official Immediately grabbed
him and pushed him out of the balL Mr.
Davis wanted to make a motion that the
message of the Senate be received. Be
fore he got recognition the clerk from
the Senate had entirely dlsappared from
view. ,
House Isrnores Recess.
Mr. Allen Insisted on doing business de
spite the confusion and a suggestion from
Mr. Sherman to throw him out. The roll
was called and showed S7 members pres
ent. Mr. Wilson (Dem.) protested against
th: revolutionary action of those who or
pinired the House.
Mr. Sherman spoke on the status of
the House. He said the S7 members pres
ent constituted a quorum and that the
House was not destroyed by the with
drawal of the Speaker.
The Llndley bill was then recalled from
third reading. Mr. Ttce offered the sev
eral sections of the Mueller bill as sub
stitutes and they were adopted, the first
roll call being S3 to I A new section
limiting all grants to 20 years was adopt
ed. In order to prevent reconsideration
of this action this afternoon a motion
was made tq reconsider after each amend
ment was adopted, and then the motion
was laid on the table.
It was 1:40 o'clock when the considera
tion of the bill was completed.
Mr. Sherman then said that the pre
siding officer, was only temporary and
that at 2:30 o'clock business would be
resumed under the regular organization.
Hake Proceeding Regular.
Mr. Rtnaker then offered the following
resolution:
"That until the House -records shall
show a reconsideration of the action of
this Hoase en the Uadlcy MIL and shall f
this House shall be assured ot the con-'
tlnuous observance during the remainder
of this session of the constitutional right
to a roll call" on questions, and the due
consideration of the business of this
House, that no further vote be cast on
any pending bill by tho members- of this
House without a permanent reorsaalza--tlon
of this House." . "
The resolution was adopted, and then,
after further discussion, a motion by Mr.
Donogbue (Dem.) was adopted! that on
the return of the permanent Speaker ot
the House, on his taking the chair, the
Speaker now presiding publicly inform
him of the action taken by the 97 mem
bers during bis absence.
Rival Speakers on Rostrum.
At 2:15 o'clock Speaker Miller, with the
members of the Republican steering com
mittee, emerged from the Speaker' a room
in the rear of the House. He smilingly
ascended to 'the rostrum, and as he did
so Mr. Allen, who was still occupying
tha chair, extended his -hand In a friendly
way. The House applauded. There was
laughter as the Speaker brought down
his gavel and said:
"The House will be In order."
Mr. Allen. . still standing beside the
Speaker. Informed him of the proceedings
In his absence and ot the passage of tha
RInaker resolution. A roll call waa be
gun on a motion to adjourn to 30 A. M.
tomorrow, but it caused such an uproar
that the roll call was suspended and
finally the -House adopted a motion by
RInaker to tako a recess until 6 P. M.
'Speaker Charge -Boodllng.
During the recess five representatives
of the Speaker's friends and five of the
opposition went Into conference to agree
oa a settlement. Tho conference lasted
nearly three hours.
It was finally' agreed that the action of
the (House on the Llndley bill should be
reconsidered, and that tomorrow there
should be a roll call on the amendments
that were adopted this morning under tha
gaveL Tonight, when the House recon
vened, a motion to reconsider was en
tered, in accordance with the agreement
and then postponed until tomorrow. Be
fore adjournment. Speaker Miller said:
"In Justification of my conduct today tn
refusing a roll call, which might have
seemed high-handed, but which. I am
told. Is not wholly unprecedented. I de
sire to make a statement: one. I think,
which no one will object to.
"I have been approached at different
times by parties who intimated to ma that
I could make money by allowing a roll
call on what Is known as the Mueller
traction bill, or permitting its passage. I
do not know whether the parties making
the statements were authorised to make
them or not, but the statements, having
been made to me. and some ot them very
recently fully convinced me that there
was somthlng wrong with this effort on
the part of outside parties to push this
bill. For this reason I denied the roll call,
and have stood firm on this proposition to
the very limit. A majority of the House
having signified their desire to have a
roll call on this proposition, I wash my
hands of the entire matter, and will per
mit a roll call to be had."
Amid wild confusion. Representative
RInaker declared that the House was en
titled to know the names of the persons
who had approached the Speaker. Mr.
RInaker moved the appointment of a com
mittee of five to Investigate the matter,
the committee to be appointed by Speak
er Miller. The Speaker promptly put the
motion and declared It carried, .and the
House adjourned until .tomorrow.

PITTSBURG. April 23. The two days'
conference behind closed doors ended In
a d'sigreement of representatives of the
Congregational. Methodist Protestant,
United Brethren and Christian Union de
nominations on the plan submitted for
their union In one church. The conference
terminated abruptly, having accomplished
little -more than- a postponement of the
discussion.
It was decided that a committee from
each denomination confer during the com

later, and endeavor to harmonize the dif
ferent doctrines so that a practicable plan
of union may be presented to another con
ference of representatives from the tour
churches to meet In "Washington. D. C.

cision followed the report today of the
committee appointed to consider the pa
per submitted by each denomination, des
ignating those doctrines of church gav

to surrender. The committee's report
was such an all-embracing proposition, al

nates it neint nothing, and was far from
satisfactory.
