IMPROVEMENTS OF THE PUBLIC PARKS
A Coop AppOINTMENT.-The Park Com
missioners at their meeting yesterday
unanimously appointed Captain William
L. Wiley to the important position Of Super
intendent of Public Squares and Places. This
appointment is signal evidence that the
Park Commissioners intend that their opera
tions ia regard to the contemplated improve
ments in our public parks shall be placed in
the hands of trustworthy and competent men,

Report Of tho First Contest.

A0H0xs % tu0 clrwt C0ntoots
BY special correspondence from Cowes,
England, dated on the llth Of May, and news
paper mail reports from Great Britain and
Ireland, we are enabled to furnish to our read
ers to-day an animated and quite interesting
account of the late race between the yachts
Cambria and Sappho. The first contest of the
international series is described at length, the
merits of the competing vessels set forth, and
their trim, rig and navigation detailed in words
in which there is, evidently, "nothing extenu-
ate" and no exaggeration. The struggle was
maintained stoutly and skilfully to the end by
the Sappho, and so also by the Cambria for q
portion of the time. The race was conducted
in the presence of many Of the most expert
enced asd gallant yachtmen Of the day, hall
ing from the Old and New Worlds, and we are
consequently rejoiced to find that its termina-
ton was to be celebrated on shore amid festive
scene which will show forth to the world that
brave hearts, ''hearts without flaw or speck,"
can commingle in all climes and "stand the
deck in strife or storm" without reference to
national prejudices, or the war deeds which
may have been accomplished under national
flags, and in the true spirit of ''liberty and
fraternity" So it was, and so may it ever be.

bilitles, ss previously demonstrated in the ca
pacity Of captain Of one of the principal police
districts in the city-including Wall street
eminently befit him for4the station to which he
has just been assigned. The Park Commits
sioners are 70 be congratulated upon this evil
dence, at the outset of their official action, OF a
determination on their part to put the best
men in places that require the most responsible
work, and we have no doubt the public gene
rally will accept the appointment OF Captain
Wiley as one most fitting to be made.

s<Decoration Dny."'

BY general consent the 3Oth of the present
month il to be devoted, wherever practicable,
to the patriotic duty Of strewing with flowers
the graves Of brave soldiers who fell in main
tanning the sacred cause of the Union. How
unfortunate it is that the sama. praisewortby
devotion cannot be displayed IN other than
upon the places of sepulture in elegant ceme-.
teries and amid all the pleasing surroundings
of peace and civilization. The remains Of
many gallant soldiers, with their names un-
honored and with their deeds unsung, lie
smOuldering in trenches upon rude and bar
rem battle fields, or in hastily dug pits upon
the routes of retreat, or in extemporized grave
porary hospital station, or in a thousand other
places where the cruel but imperious necessi-
ties of war compelled their quick interment,
and their early assertion in their home Of over
lasting earthly rest. And, again, how beautiful
it would be were it possible to see an annual
gathering about the graves of those who fell
in other wars than the war of the rebellion
of all who fell in order that the principles
of liberty and, the glory of the republic should
endure forever! But as this cannot be--as
the memories of those heroes who fell in the
Mexican war--like that of poor Farnum, who
was buried last Sabbath, or like that of the
gallant Baxter, whose monument, being long
since subscribed 6or, has not yet risen from the
sward that covers other precious relics of
heroism ; as the graves of the soldiers of 1912
are almost forgotten, and as the tombs of the
patriots of the great Revolution of 1776 are
overgrown with moss and mildew and are
crumbling to their original dust--as these
tabernacles Of the heroic dead patriots of the
past cannot be annually strewn with flowers in
! this present day, let the emotions that actuate
the present foxal decorations of the fallen
Union soldiers be respected, and every aid
that proper regard for the feelings Of the
living representatives of the departed can sug-
| gest be extended in this hour of tender and
melancholy "reminiscences.

Congrsss-Ths Shipping Bill and che Csban
Question.

=
Question.
The further consideration of the Legislative
Appropriation bill was the main business of
the Senate yesterday. An hours debate was
held on motion to insert four hundred and
Fifty thousand dollars for the completion Of the
Louisville Canal, amended by another motion
to insert the whole Harbor and River Appro-
priation bill. When 1t is remembered that the
bill under consideration is to make appropria-
tions for paying the expenses Of Congress,
the President, the judiciary and the various
departmental branches of the government,
it will be seen how out of place
an appropriation for canal would be
in it. and it will also be seen how sense-
lessly the Senate fritters away valuable time
The motion was finally withdrawn. The report
OF the Conference Committee ON the disagree
ing amendments of the two houses to the Fif-
teenth Amendment bill was then discussed
until adjournment, and thus more time was
frittered away BY the Senate. In fact, the only
effective part OF tho whole days proceedings
yesterday was hailstorm, which pattered
compelled Mr.. Drake to cease speaking for at
least five minutes.
The day was rather important one in the
House. Mr.. Lynchs bill to revive the ship
ping interest was again thoroughly debated
and q call for the main question was defeated
by vote of IS to GA severe blow to the
bill. The morning hour having expired, how
ever, it went over until to-day, when the final
vote will be taken, and unless the opinions Of
some of the members undergo a change in the
meantime it will be formally defeated. The
friends of the bill are still hopeful, however.
The defeat Of the bill, if it be defeated is due,
we hope, only to the objections members may
have to Mr.. Lynch's particular way of reviving
American shipping, and not to any Indifference
on 50 important subject. Some measure
of the kind should be passed, whether
favoring subsidies, drawbacks or extension of
the registry privileges The Diplomatic
Appropriation bill was taken up, and called
forth one of the most energetic debates that
has occurred in Congress for many days. A
motion was made to omit Santiago de Cuba
ITOm tHe llet VI COuSuldtcSs dHu VOoTuccS,
OF Indiana, made such strong speech in favor
of more vigorous policy against Spain and
for the protection Of American citizens in Cuba
that he reused the House into enthusiasm on
the subject, and both sides almost clamored
for governmental aid to the struggling insur-
gents. General Banks announced that his
Committee on Foreign Affairs would be willing
and glad to present bill at once granting
belligerent rights to the Cubans, but the cooler
and more methodical rules of the House in
tervened and the enthusiasm expended ITSELF
The proposition to omit consulate at Santiago
was then rejected, and the Appropriation bill
ON being reported to the House, was passed.

WHERE Does THE LAUGH COME IN?-Two
Germans, members of Congress, addressed the
House on Monday in temper and tone far
above the average Of the Congressional style,
in vindication of the intelligence and inde-
pendent thought Of the adopted citizens Of
German birth. Immediately thereafter Mr.. S.
S. Cox moved that Mr.. Mungen be permitted
to address the House in German. The exact
point of this motion was not very apparent;
but it seems to have been intended as joke
If the purpose of the pointless joke was to
ridicule the Germans it may be piece of
profitable information in Washington to say
that from this distance Mr.. Cox appears the
only ridiculous figure in the report. What a
pitiful thing is ON ambitious and unsuccessful

Our European Dispatches by MaiI.

From the Old World we have, by mail,
continuation of our special written history of
the progress of affairs In Europe to the 18th of
May. The exhibit is quite important and very
attractive in its contents. A HERALD writer
in Paris continues his narrative Of the late
radical 'sReds' revolutionary movement
against Napoleon. He takes the reader into
the streets and shows him the aggregated ele-
ments of disorder just as they seethed to
violent outbreak and murder, with u metro
politan pillage in anticipation. The action of
the military and police is described and the
loyalty of the masses--the conservancy of in
dustry and capital-duly credited. 1t is
strange story; ftful in it's bearing and phases,
but one which will remain in the future as an
illustration of how European revolutions, when
made ''to order" expire, and also as con-
vincing proof that the mind of great people
always rights itself in the end. From the
other countries, continental and British, we
have quite number Of news items, some OF
them in detail of our European cable tele-
grams, others original and independent Of the
electric source of comm unication.

those fellows who, according to General Sher-
man, were caught near Fort Hays disguised as

These ruflians were caught in the act and thus
the practice was brought to light. Now, the
question is, how many Of these so-callcd ''in-

sherman advises that no mercy shall be shown
TO these murderous gangs, whether they have
white or red skins, nnd he is about right But
she white scoundrels should be the frat and
