PROPOSING 4 BOTANICAL GARDEN
THE PARK COMMISSIONERS WILL FIND SITE
II OTHERS WILL FIND TIE MONEY.


AZ the Park Board meeting yesterday, E. E.
stearns representing TIE Torrey Botanical Club,
asked that the Commissioners set aside part OF
the now parks the Annexed District for botanical
garden. BE said he believed that who were
interested in such enterprise could be induced to
contribute money for its establishment II tho site were
secured, and subsequent support assured. In this
manner botanical garden which would nyal those Of
Europe might be established In a few years
President Robb asked what was the idea Of the club
az 70 the amount of money It would reouirs to estab-
liSh the garden, and Mr. searns said about 100000,
while IT'S annual cost would be about 10000. Mr..
Robb was Of the opinion that at least 100000
would DO required 20 establish such garden in ft
manner In regard 10 the site. the club states that
the Royal Botanical Garden at Kew, England, com
prsses sixty-seveu acres Fifty acres would probably
be sufficiently large for such garden in NewYork;
half as much could be made TO answer the purpose,
but seventyfvc acres would not be too large tract
to set aside for the highest development OF such
garden.
The Commissioners thought that suoh q site could
be secured without mnch difficulty. either 10 Van
Oortandt or Bronx River parks II tho enterprise were
satisfactorily sst on foot and It was said that several
available sites had been noted in these parks In tho
lower part Of the city tho club has found thatt can
not secure available ground except at an exoroltant
cost The purpose Of such q garden would be, not
simply 10 mako place Of public resort but II would
fdve an impetus TO tho pursuit OF botany. Win
simple means Il would be easy 10 cultivate plants OF
medical value for study, and in this manner to secure
for the institution q high degree of usefulness. Inc
hot houses might be models Of construction AND man
aeemcnt, and the garden would become IN measure

TIE GREAT STRIKE SETTLED.

The conditions on which the Chicago
Burlington & Quincy strike was settled
may be inferred from the following mes
sage from President Perkins to Vic
President Stone:
The company will not follow up
blacklist, or in any manner attempt Il
! prescribe. those concerned in the strike
but will cheerfully give to I'll who have
rot been guilty of violence or other i'm
proper conduct letters of introduction
showing their reco! d in our sci vice. anC
in all proper ways assist them in find
ing employment. The first du'y of the
management Is to those who are in the
company's employ; and we must re-
member and protect their interests by
promotions and by every other meani
in our power. Beyond this, il it should
become necessary to go outside OF the
service for men in any capacity, it is
our intention to select the b st men
available, and in making selections not
to exclude those who we're engaged in
the strike of Feb. 81, il they are the best
men available, and provided that they
have not since been guilty OF violence
or other improper conduct.
This was submitted to the committee
of strikers, who replied as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned committee in
behalf of our respective organizations,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Eugin-
GERS and Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen, and as representatives of the
ex employees of the Burlington system,
who L. ft the service of the said company
Feb 81. 1888, or later, on account o.
the strike, approve the foregoing agree
