Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1889-02-28

The venerable face of Mrs. Gladstone was
observable among the lot of dukes, earls
countesses, cabinet ministers and the lesser
lights of politics and society and it is satisfac-
tory to note that as soon as Pigott's fight had
been placed beyond doubt she hurried off to
convey the news to the grand old man. At
torney-Genaral Webster, Manager Macdonald
and Solicitor Soames were in their places with
phenomenal punctuality, and they all looked
very unhappy, indeed, for they knew, what
most of the people in court did not that per-
jurer Pigott had departed over night for parts
unknown, and, as likely not, their con-
sciences were not entirely easy. Pigott's
flight was bad enough for their case. but there
is reason for believing that his further cross
examination would have resulted in revela-
tlons even more disastrous to the Times and
much more serious for certain high-placed in
dividuals.
THE UNANSWERED CALL FOR PIGoTT.
As soon as the learned commissioners took
their seats Pigott was calledin the usual formal
manner and the people craned forward to gaze
upon the redoubtable old sinner. Pigott did
not respond, and then itseemed to dawned upon
the spectators that something was going to
happen. Instantly the crowded court became
as still as a mortuary chamber. Their lordships
gazed inquiringly at Sir Richard Webster. the
Times principal counsel who. after fidgeting
awhile in his seat and gazing appealingiy at Sir

any city OF this country or any country that is
civilized. In fact, there has been nothing
done for the people of this city that has not
been done for people of other cities of this
that gentlemen VIII not view this
question unfavorably upon the theory that
there has already been much done for the
people of the District the government is
under obligation to do. Now, there is scarcely
a city of any size in the United States that has
not public park While there are a number
of small parks in this city, there is not a single
one of any size where the people can go out
into the country, as it were, and get the fresh
air and have all the invigorating influences
that come from the country that does not be-
long to some private party. There is, ii is true,
a number of small reservations, but they do
not accommodate the large portion of the city
growing out toward the west, and if the same
spirit governs us in the future that has in the
past, the whole of the park in which the Smith
sonian Institution is situated will be occupied
by public buildings.
Mr.. Bland-Does not the gentleman from
South Carolina think that if the distractions
were taken away that have been created by the
Pennsylvania railroad and the ground cleared
that that would be a very desirable park?
TWO THOUSAND ACRES NOT TOO MUCH FOR Ma
TIoNAL PARK.
Mr. Hemphill-I will state Mr. Speaker. that
if there is any portion of this District in which
VIC couiu wei nave PdAh ~ Is tuls poruOn
through which Rock creek passes, and will
say that if the people of this District are to
have park for such portion as would be an
honor to this city, being the capital of this ma
ton, they cannot get it unless they get il under
action of this Congress. There is no power in
any governmental officer here to condemn land
or to put his finger for public purpose upon
a single piece OF property in this District; and
therefore whatever is done must be done by
action of Congress. Now, know, Mr.. Speaker,
that 1000 acres of land is a very large park for
a city of the size of the city of Washington;
and If we were to legislate for to-day or for the
near future it would be too large; but we all
know that this city is growing rapidly; that
property is going up in price, and that il we
are 10 have national park in this city this is
the most opportune time the Congress of the
United States will ever see. We can get park
here in this District now at cost which win not
be any more than one-ffth or one-sixth of what
has already been expended for the purchase of
land by the city of Philadelphia or New York
or any of the large cities Of this country. In
Brooklyn, where they have large park, they

Boss Wheatley's Ignorance.

To the Editor of TIE EVENING STAR:
This mornings issue of the Washington Press
contains a statement made by Commissioner
Wheatley, in which he attempts to deny that
the present Commissioners had dealt unfairly
with the eastern section, in support of which
assertion he gives the figures of the "oppro-
pridtions" for 1885, 1885, 1887 and 1888, but he
wisely refrains from showing the ''recornnae,adq-
tons" of the Commissioners as submitted in
their estimates to the Secretary of the Treasury:
he also states. in answer to the reporter' q
query, whether the increase for the eastern
section was not due to Congress? NO sir,
the Commissioners did it, and Congress cut
down the appropriations that the Commission
ers asked. otherwise the eastern section would
have gotten more money"
This caps the climax; its sublime impudence
cannot be excelled, though not surprising when
emanating from ''Sdm. Wheatey." 1t would
certainly enhance the reputation of the board
were it to select a less laundering spokesman.
As specimen of his accuracy, l submit the fol-
lowing:
For the gear ending June 80, 1889. Special sched-
uIe Of streets recommended for Improvement
Commissioners estimate s5O6 $50 OF
Appropriation by Congress. 466, SO0. 90
Northeast Washington.
Commissioners recommendation. S72. 400 90
Appropriation by Congress. ..... 1919, 700. 90
These ''oficial" figures prove that for 1888
the northeast section receives from Congress
1929 700 out of total of S466. 900, compared
with Recommendation on the part of the Com
missioners Of S72, 420 of the entire estimate of
$500, 25203.
This was accomplished by the aid of our fair
minded friends in the Senate and the House.
who are well informed as to the discrimination
practiced against this section. who are also
aware of the fact that the northwest contains
"a per cent of the concreted streets of the city.
leaving only 16 per cent to Georgetown. south
west southeast and northeast Washington. L
might also allude to their diversion" of the
money appropriated for Pennsylvania avenue
southeast, last year, as well as to the arbitrary
manner in which Commissioner Wheatley
changed this years schedule, after it had been
carefully and equitably prepared by Captain
Symons. but / reserve these, together with
some other interesting details, for nv next.

first. at length arose and in funercal tones an
nounced the awful truth.
The reporters made mad rush 20 the nearest
telegraphs and telephones. Many people rose
in their seats and shouted congratulations 20
one another, and il seemed probable that there
would be an ovation in favor of Parnell. wind
ing up with. Hes jolly Good Fellow" or
something else capable of easing the over
charged feelings of the crowd, when the con-
fusion again magically changed TO calm at the
sound of Sir Charles Russell's voice.
The great lawyer, stern and dignifed. was
asking the court to issue a warrant for Pigott's
arrest. and declaring solemnly his intention TO
bring to justice all who were behind Pigott and
Houston or who had been engaged in the foul
conspiracy. Whatever their actual feelings.
their lordships preserved their judicial equa-
nimity. Certain formalities had TO be gone
through with, and it was not until nearly 8
o'clock in the afternoon that the court adj
journed on the understanding that Webster and
his clients and friends should, between that and
tomorrow morning, decide upon the course
they will pursue.
CHEERING PARNELL AND DAvITr.
Then Parnell. Davitt and several Of their
friends, escorted by big crowd of admirers
and sympathizers. cheering frantically all the
way, walked to the Bow street police court.
where they made sworn informations and OBJ
tanned a warrant which will secure Pigott's ar
rest in any European country. save Spain. in
which he may have taken refuge. 1t is not
likely that he has gone TO Paris, for his recep-
ton there would not be at all cordial, and for
the same reason il may be safely assumed that
he has not got on board any steamer bound for
America. II he has really left England he is
doubtless at the present moment in Antwerp
or Rotterdam. either of which can be speedily
and cheaply reached within a few hours.
The impression is pretty general that the
Times provided the funds TO enable Pigott TO
escape. Soames and several of his subordi-
mates went into the witness-box to-day and de-
MED all knowledge of or completely in the

NEED OF A NATIONAL PARK.
Clearly Set Forth i'm the Debate in the
House Yesterday Afternoon.

The House conferees on the District appro-
priation bill carried their grievances into the
House yesterday afternoon, and the result was
a lengthy and animated debate ON the pro-
jected park in Rock Creek valley.
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, one of the conferees,
advocated the establishment of a park with
considerable vigor. He quoted statistics to
show the park areas of other large cities, and
then emphasized the fact that this city has no
park. He wanted the sentiment of the House
upon the matter.
Mr. Hatch thought that if the gentleman
would include in the bill an amendment pro-
viding for inclosing
THE CAPITOL AS A GEOLOGICAL PARK
the country would indorse the propositions; the
House was as big "bear garden" as anybody
could want.
Mr.. Breckenridge. of Kentucky, favored the
geological park. III money could be arSpro-
priated to make archaeological and ethnoiogi-
cal researches, and to send out the Albatross
to find fossils at the bottom of the sea, it would
not be wrong to spend few thousand dollars
to keep the animals now nearly extinct from
becoming entirely SO by the establishment OF a
geological park.
Mr.. Blount suggested the reclaimed land on
the Potomac flats as being available for the
geological park, but Mr.. Henderson insisted
that that situation was neither available nor
desirable.
LESS DONE FOB THE PEoPLE'HERE THAN IN ANY
OTHER CITY.
Mr.. Hemphill took up the subject with con-
siderable warmth. In the course of his :re-
marks he said:
Now, Mr.. Speaker, there has been a great
deal said heretofore about how much has been
spent upon the District of Columbia in the way
OF public improvements; but if the gentlemen

The latter, when given to the world will
show that Pigott's visits to Paris were primarily
devoted to the lucrative business of replenish-
ing, by means of the capital provided by the
Times, his stock of filthy photographs and
loathsome literature.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The great edifice, based
on conspiracy, built up with forgery, and
crowned with perjury, has at last been brought
crashing to the ground, and the readers of the
Press will not be surprised to learn that the
catastrophe was the direct work of the chief
architect and master builder, Richard Pigott,
who has fed no man knows whittier. The
great crowd which thronged the law courts and
blocked the corridors had not expected such a
dramatic disaster. They had hoped to witness
the further vivisection of Pigott and, in order
to lose none of the fun, most of them had
come provided with luncheon baskets with
which to fortify themselves for a continuous

inquiring the prices of various articles the
other stole the money from the drawer.

Secret Hiding Places.

From the Liverpool Courier.
One of the most interesting features of our
country houses is the secret hiding place. This
generally has been contrived with much archi-
tectural skill, and in days gone by baffled dis
covery from the most observant and experienced
eye. In certain cases it would appear that, for
some reason or other, the hiding place has been
specially kept secret among members of the
family. Thus in the North Of England NAV be
mentioned Netherhall, near Maryport, Cumber-
land, the seat Of the old family of Senhouse.
In this time-honored mansion there is said to be
a real secret chamber, its exact position being
only known to two other persons-the heir-in,
law and the family solicitor.
According to the popular tradition, the secret
of the hidden room has never been revealed to
more than two living persons at . time. This
mysterious room has no window, and despite
every effort to discover it, has, it is said defied
the ingenuity Of every visitor staying in the
house. With this secret chamber may be COM
pared the one at Glamas, the latter possessing a
window, but which has not led to the Identifies
ton Of the mysterious room.
