Everybody reads it, THE PARK BILL GOES OVER. A Long Debate in the House Without Result. IT 18 URGED AS AN ECONOMICAL MEASURE—GEX. SPINOLA AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE WHO OBJECT TO IT—VARIOUS AMENDMENTS PRO- POSED AND DISCUSSED. The Rock Creek park bill occupied the at- tention of the House yesterday until 5 o'clock and then went over through the efforts of Mr. Spinola of New York and a few others who opposed it. Gen. Spinola, in the course of his speech against the bill, said: “The gentlemén who own this land are shrewd, cunning real estate the greater part of them, and I do not blame them for their activity in this matter. If they can get the United States to purchase and ornament this park for their benefit they are simply doing what 1. perbaps, if I were in the same position, might do. But I am not here for any such purpose as that. I am here to protect the | treasury of the country against just such ta- vasions as this bill proposes. Iam here to try to save, if pomible, to posterity some small portion of the surplus which has been in the treasury during the last few years.” “There area great many peculiar rumors afloat im regard to our Senators,” remarked the speaker. ‘They are all honorable men. I ad- mit; nevertheless they are human, can be believed, and their humanity which we find in most other men. They are fond of finding the tender spots upon the sur- face of the earth where they can invest their surplus capital, and the amount invested in this city. if ramor can be relied on, will run up into mrilions.” While Gen. Spinola had the floor the follow- ing colloquy took place: ae “toe (Ps.)--The gentleman from New York says this is for the benefit of the ad- joining owners. Does the gentleman not know every ne’ per today of this city favors the taking of this land for this park; that the pop- ular sentiment favors the establishment of this k? bas Spinola—Undoubtedly the newspapers are in favor of it; certainly they are; they ex- pect to get “some of the pork” themselves, Mr. Atkinson (Pa.)—Are they adjoining owners? Mr. Spinola—The hog has got to be cut up, and the two or three newspapers here expect to get a pi +. Mr. Atkinson (Pa.)—Have you any authority for that statement? Mr. Spinola —-No, sir; only my own opinion. Mr. Atkinson (P And is that based upon any knowledge of the ts? Mr. Spinola—It is based upon common sense. Mr. Atkinsou (Pa.)—That is a poor kind of common «ense Mr. Spin That is my common sense, has never failed wp to this time. anyhow. PME SANITARY VIEW OF 11. Mr. Atkinson then followed in favor of the bill. He referred to the sanitary side of the question and explained how the establishment of such a park would benefit Georgetown and Washington im this line. Ax to the question of the surplas being wiped out he said that by the sppropriation of #600,000 gentlemen need not let their solicitnde keep them awake at night. Only ove appropriation bill had been passed by this Congress so far. Mr. Atkinson then refer- redto tue claim that Washington was over- supplied with . He denied this and mentioned the 000 acres of parks in and about Parie. Further he said: “All the other great cities of this continent have great parks. The city of Philadelphia has the great Fairmount park, containing 2,740 acres.” The city of St. Louis has 2.100 acres of parks: the city of Chicago has 1, acres; the city of San Francisco has 1,100 acres; the cities of New York and Brooklyn have 1,600 acres, and the parks of London, ¥ngland, including the commons, are said to contain 13.000 acres of land. “Now. in comparison with the ik facilities of these other cities, 1 hold, sir, that Washing- ton is but illy supplied with parks. and for that reason. if for po other we should now make this appropriation in order to secure Kock Creek park. I shall not enlarge upon its beauties: other gentlemen may do that if they choose. but that it is the most desirable loca- tion for a park to be found anywhere is con- ceded alike by the friends and enemies of this It THE “ANCESTRAL HomES.” Mr. Stockdale of Mississippi made an appeal for the preservation of the old ancestral do- mains on Rock creek, which plea Mr. Moore of New Hampshire answered. Mr. Moore re- marked: “Our friend from Mississippi has plain- tively alluded to the ‘ancestral homes’ that will be desecrated by the chase of this park and its condemnation by the government. Sir. L took pains the other day to zo out and look over the ground contemplated for this park and to view the ‘ancestral homes’ there. 1 found just one It was a log cabin, or the next thing to it. and its residents were two old colored people. So far as I know they are the only residents in that portion of Rock creek that will be imcorporated in this park if it is par- chased by the United States. That is the « cestral home’ that you and I are asked here this afternoon to preserve and shield from the des- ecrating hands of the United States. Iam not afraid of that ‘ancestral home.’ But I look to see in coming years a home for the people of this city in this Columbus park—a place like Fairmount park in Philadelphia, Lincoln k in Chicago, that glorious old ‘common’ in Bow. ton, Mass, and that Central park in New York—where the people of this entire country will find comfort and joy in this umbrageous retrest.” Mr. Blount attacked the bill from a financial it. He said there was no telling where the cost of such an affair would stop. He then spoke of the many parks in Washington and especially referred to the Soldiers Home and ‘the 400 acres of land which would be made into « splendid park along the river front. AN ECONOMICAL MEASURE, Mr. Hooker followed in an earnest appeal for the passage of the bill. He referred to the many efforts made in this direction und to the vast sums spent in other cities for such pur- pores. This land should be purchased at once, e thought, from motives of economy. Mr. Payson followed in an economic argu- ment to show that the city and country could not afford such an extravagance as this bil! proposed. The city of Washington, he | claimed, was especially happy in the uumber of parks which it possessed. The whole scheme, he held, was a speculative one. ME. KERR'S REMARKS, Mr. Kerr of Iowa followed. He said: “This city of Washington is growing to be a very ex- pensive necessity to the peuple ot the United States. We are beginning to think out west that if the people here want ‘breathing places’ they should provide then: by taxing themselves, just as Chicago, St. Louis and other places Rave dene. We ore Voting large sums of money for expenditures in this capital. At the last session we voted $6,000,000 fur a public build- ing here, and other necessary public bitildings are being provided for at this session. People from other parts of the country who come ere are thinking it is about ime that the people of Washington, if they Want these expeusive lux- uries mpg which are not ne eat for rs support of the government—shoui for them themselves.” asa “Does uot the gentleman,” asked Mr. Heard, “understand the fact that the people of this District, if they were willing to pay the entire expense of this or any similar project which they might think desirable for the interests of their city, are nevertheless utterly powerless to do so uniess express authority be given by Congress? 1u other words, while Congress has power to speud all the money which may be gathered by taxation from the people of the Mistrictand placed in the treasury of the United States. the people themselves cannot spend one cent of the money so collected with- out the authority of Congress.” MK. HEMPHILL's SPEECH. Mr. Hemphill closed the general debate in au argument in favor of the bill, The amount @f ground and the cost was limited, he held, 4 the ground should be obtained and re- served The I t was nmable to vote this themselves and it was the duty of Congress to do it forthem. In closiug Mr. Hemphiil tersely vated up the situation froma sanitary poiat. 2 @ said: “Mr. Chairman: I believe that the tend ou this creek must either be made a pub- ic park or the creek will become a common sewer for ali that partof the city. These two things 1 know, that the land on ‘k creek can be either made a beautiful. bealth-giving park, or the creek will be « sewer which youl tak in the nostrils of this District and breed disease among the people who live in proximity to it.” DISCUMING AMENDMENTS. The committee amendments were then taken Sp. Mr. Adams proposed au amendment striking out the word memorial in the pame, ban alas leaving the name Colum- bill was then taken tious. Mr. Stockdale offered an een the first section. It was to the effect that 600 acres of to the park be purchased and penditure. The government was to retain the "Er lockdale’s Proposal was rejected. Mr. Blount then moved to strike out the last word and addressed the House. He said there were other places besides W: which needed pooed a &e. POSTPONED. After the reading of the second section a motion for the committee to rise was carried and the Columbus park bill was laid over to some more auspicious time. notes aa MATURING LEGISLATION. Proposed Apprentice Battalions in the Army—Committee Notes. Senator Ingalis yesterday presented (by re- quest) @ bill which prevides for the forma- tion of apprentice battalions in the army, the Pay to be $9, #10, 811, $12 and $13 per month, respectively, according to the grading of the apprentices, The apprentices are to be less thau twenty years of age. in a ietter to Senator Ingalls accompanying the drait of the bill Inspector General Breck- inridge. U.S.A., says: “My last annual report suggested the formation of apprentice bat- talions for the army somewhat simi- lar to the plan now authorized for the navy. The successful establishment of such battalions would show the American youth that there is something in the army for them worthy their attention; something ele- vating, instructive and imposing, some- thing that would aid them outside of the army. It would also be an encouragement and offer a desirable training and career to the sons of veterans of the G.A.R., who could thus enter the army under bet- ter auspices than were ever offered their fathers, while its advantages to the army would be still greater. Well-accredited youths of sixteen or eighteen years of age, thoroughly and properly trained for three years and then formed into model companies atregimental recruiting depots or assigeed to companies in batches of about twenty would give us a type of non-commisioned officers better qualitied than anything hitherto known in the service, and ing score of years the personnel of the army would be revolution- ized sand its ranks filled with American soldiers as we!l trained and carefully selected as possible in peace times and compar- ing favorably with the best in the world.” THEY WILL GO TO THE RACES, ‘The members of the House all drew a prize yesterday.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers.

(not householders), 80 that its whole cireula on may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tue Stan a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of | its home circulation, the exteat to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated ta the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PaID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Sran’s advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is held by the public than a constautly inereasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—im the face of ad- verse claims and pretentious competition.
