Nearly Two Thousand Accounted For in Special Census.
    The total number of buffalo, or bison, both full and mixed blood, known to exist is 1,940, according to a report submitted to Congress by the Interior Department. Of this number seventy-two are running wild, fifty of which are in Colorado, and the remainder in the Yellowstone National Park, and 175 are of mixed blood. In Canada there are 669, of which 600 are pure blood and running wild. In countries outside North America there are 128, all of which are believed to be in captivity. In the United States the domesticated buffalo appears to be increasing.
