IMPROVING THE PARKS.

Outline of Work 10 be Done the
Coming Season.
AT the special meeting Of the council on
Wednesday evening an allowance of IS. 500
was made for the improvement of the parks
of the city. Aid. Van Slyke, chairman of
the committee on parks ano to whose en-
ergy is due much of the present perfection
of the park system, was spoken to yester-
day in reference to the contemplated dis
position Of the appropriation. His plans
were not fully matured. but his idea was to
eXpend the major portion of the sum in a
greater establishment of the parks I'm the
way OF flowers than has been heretofore at
tempted. Rice park, being the most CEN
trail, he thought. should receive more at
tention in this respect than the others. 1t
was designed to place fountion in Lafay-
cite and Central parks, and it was his
opinion that the several parks (Smith, Rice.
Irvine, Lafayette. Summit and Central)
should be beautiied more than ever. Sew
eral Of the parks needed trees replaced. as
some of those set out last season had died,
and Smith park required resodding and a
fountain. Whether the IS. 500 would cover
the cost of all the Improvements necessary
was question. Mr.. Van Slyke inclined
to the belief that what might be called the
temporary Improvements (such as the form-
ing of attractive flower plats) should first
be considered in the disposition of the funds
and that the permanent improvements las
resOddlng, Teplanting of trees. etc. should
be provided for by further appropriation
if needed.

at the same time Is of advantage In buying

in this state a uniform system OF accounts

charge of the enterprise in Dakota and will
place the matter I'm this state In the hands
of p. IL. Kelly. Michael Doran and other
prominent Democrats, while Alexander
Mitchell will manage the subscription in
Wisconsin. The association has just begun
active work, but the high regard which the
Democratic party has so long maintained
for its great leader. and his popularity with
all classes will insure a fund that
will erect an imposing monument
at indianapolis. Many Republicans
have already shown their esteem for the
man by liberal responses to the call for
funds. Potter Palmer of Chicago recently
headed the Chicago list with a subscription
of $500.
Dr. Mcconnell is the father of Judge
William b. Mcconnell, territorial district
judge of Fargo, Oak, and is widely
known and most entertaining character.
For about forty years he has put in the big
gest part of his time in some political or
public enterprise and has the reputation of
knowing everybody in the country. with q
few exceptions. He was close personal

talk good big string about any man that

Charles Fl. Brooks. advance agent for

yesterday arranging the details for the
opening of the circus season in this city.
Mr.. Brooks is fresh FROM San Francisco and
says there is deep feeling throughout that
section of country against the Chinese.
The spirit of opposition to the Celestials
pervades a better class than composed the
Dennis Kearney party Of several wears ago,
and the general sentiment is in favor of a
peaceable settlement Of the vexed question.
However, clubs are organized. and daily
increasing, which meet nightly and practice
military tactics. Chinese wares are being
bOycotted, and the six companies Through
whose instrumentality such numbers have
been imported, and which is mainly reSpon-
sible for the contract system which is the
seat of the trouble) are beginning to take
cogniZance Of the matter and arrange for
the return of the Chinese. Large numbers
of Cinnamon are tiOeking to San Francisco
from the scenes of the recent riots, and de-
parting steamers are crowded with those of
the race bound back to China. Few of
those going home bear return certificates.
