The report of the New Parks Commissioners
has been substantially confirmed. Objections
to certain of the awards having been filed,
there will be further hearing before the final
disposition of the matter. The action of the
General Term marks another important step
in this work, which, it is universally conceded,
mas been done with painstaking care and with
scrupulous regard for the interests of the city
and the owners Of the property involved. As
the city expands northward il will become more
and more apparent that the work of providing
these pleasure-grounds was not undertaken
day too soon.

Mr.. Yatess timely budget of gossip from
London, always racy and interesting, is es-
pecally noteworthy to- day because of the strong
hint which he gives as to who is most likely
to succeed Lord sackville. It is probable, he
says, that the post of Minister at Washington
will remain vacant until after the Inauguration
of President Harrison, and will then be filled
by Sir Francis Clare Ford.

The rise in temperature yesterday turned the
snow into rain. and. although the wind con-
tinued uncomfortably brisk all fear of a severe
blizzard was set at rest Still the sush in the
streets and the peting rain served to make the
day extremely disagreeable. The storm APP
pears TO have been felt with great fury all
along the coast from Maine to Maryland. Much
damage has been done to shipping, and num-
Der of lives are already reported to have been
lost. Later reports are likely to increase the
casualties, especially when vessels that en-
countered the gale out at sea are heard from.
Telegraph wires suffered severely, but it will
probably require good many similar expert
ences to convince the companies that it would
be money in their pockets to put the wires
under ground
Such an appointment as Mayor Hewitt made
yesterday is sufficient to mitigate the regret
which many good citizens feel because he was
not reelected. General NewtOn's selection Of
d. Lowber Smith as his deputy brought him
into serious discredit with the people who ex-
pected from him an honest and efficient admin
istration Of the great Department OF Public
Works. That Mr.. Smith should now be pro-
NOTED to General Newton's place is far from
creditable. The Mayor pleads urgency as one
reason for the appointment, and says that he
had offered the place to State Engineer Bogart,
who refused TO take il unless he could be as
sured Of appointment at the expiration of
the term on May 1. General Newton had re-
tired; the Deputy Commissioner had no au-

The French Government is not even allowed to
join in European blockade of the slave-trading
coast Of Africa. Prince Bismarck has declined
to accept the conditions imposed by the Minister
Of Foreign Affairs, and consequently the Repub-
lie will be left out of the combination. 1t is u

satisfaction from the result In the great affairs
of European diplomacy he has succeeded in eiiac
