The bill was passed after a short discussion, in which it was objected to, as the beneficiary had not been in the army, but had been the paid agent of a state, Mr. Vest caused a langh by the remark that he had su the pension was for John Chamberiain of Washington city and that—al- though he waa not enthusiastic on the subject of pensions—he was fully prepared to vote a pension for John Chamberlain of Washington.

The Speaker laid before the House a letter from Hepresentative Morso of Massachusetts stating that « Boston paper had stated that he ‘was unaccounted for on the vote on the free silver bill. He was absent on account of sick- ness and was paired with Mr. Catchings, Missis- sippi. The letter, which was written from Fortress Monroe, was spread upon the journal. ATTENTION TO THE RECORD. Mr. Burrows (Mich.), rising to a question of privilege, called the chair's attention to a speech published in the Record this moraing purporting to have been delivered by Wm. J. Stone of Kentucky. To five lines of his own remarks Mr. Stone appended five chapters from Henry George’s book on “Protection or Free Trade.” These chapters run from 21 to 26. There seemed to be something precon- certed about this, continued Mr. Burrows. One gentleman had quoted chapters from 16 to 20, inclusive; pooh a (Mr. Washington) had quoted chapters from 11 to 15. Another gentleman (Mr. Fithian), had quoted from chapters G to 10; another gentleman had noted from chapters | to 5. In other words, un- Fn sony print, there had been published the entire volume of a co; three chapters. These, periaht book, except he presumed, would be forthcoming tomorrow. |Laughter.} When one member left off at one chapter it was taken up by the next. And they bad succeeded in getting in the record the entire volume of a copyrighted book, to be distributed at the pablie expense. His point of order was that under leave granted to members to print remarks in the Record it was not im order to say simply “I desire to submit a certain volume as expressing my views” and then ublih printed book in the Record. f that was in order, the Republicans had several volumes they desired to publish. ‘TheSpeaker said that as the chair understood the practice this had always been a question determined by the House itself. The House must decide whether a member had vio- lated the privileges granted him under leave to print. Leave to print alwavs covered extracts. How extensive they should be the Speaker could uot determine. The House must decide it. TODAY. | WASHINGTON, D.C. THURS = THE ROCK CRE EK PARK. The heavy linea show the boundaries of the park aa approved by the President DAY, APRIL 14, 1892. AFTER YEARS OF EFFOKT. A BRIEF STORY OF TAE LONG FIGHT TO SECURE THE PARK. What was by many so long regarded as an | ideal dream has become reality. The Presi- dent's approval makes the Rock Creck Park an assured fact, and not the consummation to be | discussion of the idea dates away back to 1866. | Since then many less worthy measures ha | been introduced in Congress and have found their way to completion. It is not until @EN, THOMAS L. CASEY. today that the park which was de- signed by nature. and which needed so littio from art is to be set apart se- cure from the encroachments of the real es- tate speculator and the District sewerage sys- tem. Not only did the highest esthetic and sentimental reasons present themselves for the establishment of the park. There were conditions, eminently practical. that made such a use of this territory most desirable. Senator Gorman in a statement published in ‘Tux Stan called attention to the costly experi- ence Baltimore had with Jones creek. To wall and bridge that creek when the city encroached upon it had cost Baltimore $1,250,000 a mile. At that rate Mr. Gorman estimated that it would t 10,000,000 to wall in Kock creek. ‘*Washington,” he said, “can now get a magnificent park for what it cost Baltimore to wall up one mile of its creek. This, besides adding to the beauty and health of the city and increasing the taxable value of property will save the city and the government from the immense expenses which must result from the occupation of this valley by dwellings or factories,” A LONG DISCUSSION. From 1866 to 1888 the matter was discusset and the general sertiment was favorable to the park, Bat it needed active, energetic atten- tion. An editorial in Tue Srar described the project as one “‘so entirely devoid of selfish, personal interests that it does not enlist the support of lobbyists, jobbers or speculators, and must depend for ‘its success on the active co-operative efforts oftthe general publi In the winter of 1588 and ’89 the project was Mr. Burrows thought that the chair was per- fectly right in his ruling, and in order to test the sense of the House he moved to strike out of the remarks of Mr. Stone all that Henry George said in a copyrighted book. Mr. Stone said that he had inserted the chap- ters from Mr. George's book for the purpose of sending it out to the voters of the country in order to give them in- formation on the question of tariff reform. He endorsed the article in the Record. In ublisking these chapters he bad merely fol- te the practice which had been in vogue for many years. a A WITNESS’ CONFUSION. ADMITS THAT HE MADE SEVERAL MISSTATEMENTS IN Hls TESTINONT. Judge Payson began the proceedings of the special pension office investigating committee of the House this morning by cross-examining James Morgan, the Bloomington, Ind., attor- ney and pension agent, with a view to showing that Commissioner Raum began the examination into the Hersey-Cooper matter based upon the letter of Morgan’s to Special Examiner Greenawalt. Morgan's letter to Greenawalt, dated Jannary 26, 1892, was offered by Judge Payson for record. The letter says that when Cooper introduced the writer to Hersey in Hersey’s office Cooper said that if witness bad anything worth paying for Hersey would do it for him. The letter in conclusion says if the recipient of the letter (Greenawalt) thought it advisable he had bet- ter put some one on the track of Cooper in this line of business, Cross-examined by Judge Payson, Morgan admitted that he thought it imp: when he asked Cooper fur assistance in to Hersey as one who would do the work for pay. He also admitted that im his conversation with Greenawalt atthe pension bureau he said to Greenawalt that if he knew the man to whom be was talking he would make certain state- ments. Witness had previously testified that he did not know Greenawalt until he met him in In. diana, Mr. Greenawalt asked the witness if he did not say to him that when he retarned home to Indiana he would sen him (Greeuawalt) facts that General Raum ought to know. ‘The witness said he was_in doubt about hay- ing made such a remark, but admitted that he did write Greenawalt a letter. ‘Witness at various points in the examination made certain statements which confiicted with former testimony givem by him. Jndge Paysou asked Morgan about the tele- gram he testified to receiving yesterday in effect that his wife, who was sick when he left Indiana, bad been worse since his departure and of witness’ desire to return home im- oir, Payeon asked bi if he had the telegram. ir. Payson im Witness replied that he had not, but that be had received the telegramat Willard’s Hotel yesterday before coming to the committee room. It was proved by Judge Payson that the witness came direct to committee room from the depot, Witness was compelled to back water and confessed that he had misrepresented facts, as ed.

Such a use of the territory would have Boek a ©. C. GLOVER, ereek the natural receptacle of sewerage and would have utterly destroyed one of the most beantifal pieces of scenery that the country ean boast. The citizens took an active interest in the matter and untiringly labored in behalf of the bill until the park bill became a law. ‘The first Rock Creek Park bill was intro- duced in the Thirty-ninth Congress, This bill failed to pass, although it had an eloquent advocate in the Senate im the person of B, Gratz Brown. In 1880 Capt. Hoxie suggested turning the Rock Creek Valley ito a park with an ornamental lake and reservoir, with a system of dams. Nothing was done then, how- ever. InJanuary, 1886, thet Ord offered to donate twenty-five acres of his land on Rock Creek for a zoological park and public baths, but the offer was not accepted, In the Forty-ninth Congress a bill was offered in the Senate authorizing the District Commissioners to plat for condemnation & tract of Jand for the park, bat this bill also failed to become a law, although a favorable report was made on it, January Sist, 1887, by Mr. Rowell. from the House district committee. Mr, Ingalls reintroduced the sure in the Senate December 13, 1887, and Mr. Rowell re- introduced it in the House January 9, 1888, but without any definite outcome, THE FINAL SUCCESSFUL MOVEMENT. The project was actively reviewed in the winter of 1833, when the citizens took charge of the matter. Tux Stan has always actively favored the enterprise, and it sounded the key note in an editorial from which a quotation is above, This appeared January 11, 1889, THE CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE. ‘That night a meeting of the citizens was held at the Atlantic building and following the counsel of Tus Stax, the action was then taken that ultimately led to success. A resolution was adopted by this meeting indorsing the plan of securing the park as proposed by the | bill then pending in Congress, and an ex- | ecutive committee was appointed to urge action, | This committee was composed of C. 8.

From that time the work was actively pur- sued. The progress was marked by firm steps that left no chance for retrogression. It found advocates on all sides, The work of this cem- mittee resulted in the introduction of a bill by Mr. Hemphili January 14, 1839, THE HEMPHILL BILI. This bill provided for the purchase of a tract of land not exceeding 2,500 acres, following the course of the creck, beginning at Woodley &. P. LANOLRY. Lane bridge. of a width not less at any point than 400 feet. The chief of engineers, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and the Engineer Commissioner of the District were named as the commissioners to locate and purchase the park, ‘ihe District was to pay one-half the cost, and the park was to be under the control of the District Commissioners, While the provision that the District should pay one-balf met with much dinssatisfac- tion, it appeared that in no other form could the measure go through. THe Star January 16, 1889, proposed that the national government should advance whatever might necessary for the park and be reimbursed gradually the District. ‘The citizens’ committee appeared before Con- gress, and the work was accelerated by the an- nouncement of a donation from the heirs of = es — A VIEW ON THE CREEK. These gentlemen with Gen. Casey, chief of engineers, and Col. Robert, engineer commis- sioner, formed the commission which eatered upon the work of selecting and platting the park Upon the retirement of Col. Robert as Dis- trict Commissioner he was succeeded on the commission by Capt, Rossel. ‘The Commissioners performed a grest amount of work ia carrying out the provis- tons of the bill. The appraisers whose report was today roved by the President were Messrs. Jas. iorris, G. J. Seufferle and N. W. Burchell. After their report was made there was a long legal contention in the Court in General Term. but that body finally approved the awards and they went to the President, THE TRACTS OMITTED. The tracts excluded from the park in the amended map made by the commission and which bas now received the approval of the President are located chiefly at the north end of the park, as originally proposed. ! are some, however, on the east side of the park. It was originally intended that the east boundary would be the line of 16th street extended. On the amended map, however, a number of tracts are omitted on this side soas to make a somewhat irregu- lar boundary. The boundaries on the west and the south are the same. ‘The accompanying cut shows the bounds of the park of 1,980 acres as originally laid ont. ‘The numbers of the tracts given in the cut ere not the same as those in the map referred to in the President's order, The tracts omitted, as numbered on the rinted today are. tract 5%, G4” and” all the tracts north of them, the numbers ranging from 65 to 84 On tho east srdo the tracts omitted are the tracts numbered from 23 to 37, tract 50, tract 51, tract 52 and tract 62. A TALK WITH GEN, BOYNTON. Gen. H. V. Boynton when seen by a Stan reporter today said: “The park com- missioners have confidently expected this decision from the President, though none of them have had other communication with him on the subject than was contained in the formal rs they have submitted, But, in the broadest sense, he is a national man, and at every step his deep interest in the develop ment of the National Capital became manifest- ‘The park commission sought his approval at every stage of the proceedings, and took no ae- = John B, Clagett of a strip 200 feot long border- | tion except as they understood it ta conform to ing on Rock creek if the project prevailed. Sn January 26 the District committee areport in the House recommending an ap- propriation of $1,500,000 for the purchase of the park. It was a report that showed close study and careful preparation, On February 15, 1889, the Senate District committee approved and substituted the Hemp- hill bill for its own, An effort was made to get the bill through before the expiration of th Fiftieth Congress, but it failed, IN TRE FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS, At the beginding of the Fifty-first Congress bills were offered by Mr. Ingalls and Mr. Sherman in the nate and the meas- ure. which had unfergone a number of modifications, among them being a proposition to call it “the Columbus Memorial Park,” was brought up March 24 Gen.
