A recognized feature In the plans OF the future
Washington Is the establishment Of an extensive
park In the picturesque Rock Greek valley. There
Is no reason. unless t be found In consideration
of expense, why part OF the land necessary for
this purpose should not De secured at once and be
used for the purposes Of a biological garden,
as proposed In the amendment to the
sundry civil bill offered by senator Nor
NIL The land for the park could have
been obtained at comparatively small ex.
pease few years ago, but it increases In value
with the approach OF suburban settlement In spite
Of Its broken surface, which adapts it better for
Use a. park than for building sites or agricuI-
tarsl operations. The stretch OF rocky, wooded
and uneven valley land desired could probably be
obtained at a low rate to-day. Some persons
might contribute property for the purpose IN view
Of the benefit TO that which would remain to
them The tendency OF landowners to aid such q
project Is Indicated BY the donation OF 25 acres Of
the valley In 1886 for use as q geological
garden. II it shall appear that heavy expense

view OF the urgent current needs, viii request q
postponement OF the matter. and with every month
OF postponement the cost OF the necessary land

should bear In mind the danger OF an entire fall

preserve the parks within the city limits. 1t
would be absurd for the city to pay for land In
Rock Creek valley for public use, and consent at
the same time that the convenient and beauti-
fui reservations In the city may be choked
with brick and mortar or disngured and spoilei
by railroad tracks and stations IL would also be
absurd for the nation, paying hundreds OF thou
sands OF dollars for land for its own use east OF
the Capitol and proposing to buy more, to give to
the railroads for nothing except taxes land near
70 and west or the Capitol And the absurdity
would not be relieved II, in place OF the mall, OF
which the public is cheated In order to provide
gratuity for corporations, the nation should pay
more money for another park In the northwest
corner OF the District Rock Creek park should
be secured and the mall should not be abandoned.

TUPPER'S ANNUAL BUDGET.
The Canadian COmm0ner Shows the
Finances Of that Country as Low.

OTTAWA, Ont, April 27.-Sir Chas. Tup-
per delivered his annual budget speech in
the house of commons this afternoon. The
surplus revenue over expenditures for the
year ended June 80 last, Sir Charles said,
was S937. Estimated revenue this year
was $50, 900, 600; estimated expenditures,
S37 900, 900, showing probable deficit OF
100000 for the year ending
June 80 next. Estimated revenue
for 1859 was $780, 100, 900 Expenditures
for the year would be kept down TO
wipe out probable deficit OF 81 900, 900 and
make the two years balance one another.
The country was in a stringent financial
condition, but was sound at the core and
there were indications that the stringency
was passing away. There had been ap-
plicatiOns for further tariff changes, but
the government had no proposition 10
make any alteration this year. The par
lament of Canada would undoubtecly
ratify the fisheries treaty, but no matter
what action the senate OF the nIted
States took he believed nothing would
disturb the continuous harmonious inter
course and the friendly reciprocity of good
neighborhoOd between the countries. II
was proposed TO perpetuaie the good feel
ing now existing by taking steps 20 meet
the provisions OF the Mills bill. He had
every hope that the Mills bill would be
come a law this year, in order that Cana
dian lumber and salt might enter United
States free under the items Of that bill.
The government sought 20 obtain power
to abolish the export duties by an order Ia

THE PAINTER WON.
Millionaire Long, Of st. Paul, Made to Pay
for Picture.

CHICAGO, April 27.-H. Fl. Cross, of New
York. well known man here, won a
curious suit today against a. c. Long, Of
ST. Paul, millionaire contractor. In
1871, shortly after Gross portrayed the
famous team of Vanderbilt's, and while
Cross was in st. Paul making a painting
Of Commodore Kittson's noted PAGER,
johnson, Millionaire Long authorized him
to reproduce in oil the fast trotter, Prince
Albert, now at Washington in charge of
Budd Doble. Prince Albert is the property
of Long, and the wealthy contractor was
to be shown in the picture driving the
trotter. The work was done, but long re-
fused to pay for it, and returned the pic
ture to the artist, who finally brought suit
for the amount, s200. In court today
Long admitted that the picture was well
executed, but maintained that it was I'm
derstood he was to be satisfied with the
representation, which he was not; but
why he did not explain. The picture was
not in evidence, strange to say. A verdict
for the artist was the result "The real
reason why Long declined to accept the
painting" said S. X. Dow, who was attor-
new for Cross, Il did not bring out because
Long is a nice fellow and very sensitive.
The truth, as you noticed, is that he has
lost his right arm. Well, this loss was
prominently displayed in tn painting. 1t
is a sore point with Long, and Cross should

Mrs. Mackey, she paid him, though she
Immediately destroyed the counterfeit pre-
sentiment because it looked SO much like
her. Long is rich enough to have done

THE CROP REPORTS.
Several States Make Bad ShOwing-Kan-
sas Still Encouraging.

MINNEAPoLIs, April 27.-The Northwes-
tern Miller's report of the crop conditions
show that cold, dry and backward weather
has been the order of the day for the last
six weeks Instead of steady improve
ment there has been a steady decline in
the general conditions of the winter wheat
crop up co this time.
The outlook of the Pacific slope is by no
means encouraging, the future depending
entirely upon rains An unusually long
dry term is ut present causing much
anxiety as to future results.
Illinois today makes the poorest showing
for crop of winter wheat of any state in
the belt, and the indications are that the
state will prove failure SO far as a yield
is concerned unless the present extreme
conditions are mitigated.
Indiana has made no improvement since
last report, and there is no change for the
better to note in the condition of Ohio.
Weather still keeps cold and backwaua
in Michigan and crops look brown and
unhealthy. It's condition cannot be deter
mined until warm weather puts in an APP
pearance.
Missouri shows nothing today to war
rant crop as large as last season.
While the outlook in Kansas is still en-
couragmg, yet the fact cannot be disguised
that insects have appeared in various por-
tions of the state
Reports from Tennessee are still favor
able. as also are those from Texas and
there is no change in the outlook of Ken
lucky.
All through Canada wheat is still back
ward and looks brown, but has been well
protected all winter and it is thought to
have come through all right.
A very thorough survey of the spring
wheat situation in the Northwest shows
that in Manitoba the weather continues
very backward and seeding is from ten TO
twelve days later than last year and the
general conditions are not very favorable
Minnesota and Dakota seeding is two to
fourteen days late, but the condition of
the ground Is thought to be an effect for
fatenesS of season.
Seeding has practically commenced this
week. Reports show decrease in acreage
in Iowa and Nebraska.
