or mono. The President, however, after most
careful consideration Of the subject, decided
that he could lawfully approve the values fixed
for any portion of the proposed park. II is
said that the attorneys referred to will en-
deavor to bring the question before the Court
in General Term. 1t has also been contended
that the owners were entitled to interest on
the values fixed by tho appraisers, and this
will also be brought before the court
THE COMMISSIONERS pELIGHrED.
The Commissioners were very much de-
lighted when they heard this morning that the
President had approved the Rock Creek Park
appraisement All Of them thought IL was Q
grand move and that the park would be Q
great thing for the city.
Capt RosseIl, who as assistant to the Engi-
neer Commissioner was executive officer Of the
park commission, and who later by virtue of
one of the commission, was in an especially
good frame of mind when the reporter Of The
STAR told him of the Presidents action.
The next step to be taken, he said, address,
ing the reporter, "is to get possession of the
land We cannot Of course take possession Of
it until we paw for it This can be done in
either one Of two ways We can pay the peo-
pie, that is each tract owner, or pay the money
into court and then take possession. II the
first way is decided upon every owner will have
to have tho titles to their land examined and
that tho titles are good. Now II the
money is paid into court We take immediate
possession, while il separate owners have to be
dealt with We can only take possession
of the tracts a. We pay for them I
expect that Mr.. Perry on the part OF the com.
mission and Mr.. Cole on the part Of the United
States will 60 into court shortly and ask per-

THEY ARE 10 BE QUIETLY SEVERED BIZ LEAVES
OF ABSENCE
In q very unobtrusive manner our d.
plomatic relations, with Chile, it Is UNDER
Stood are to be suspended indefinitely, il
not broken of altogether. II is not expected
that a minister will be sent here by
the Chilean government to succeed Senior
Montt, who has gone home to enter
tia Chilean congress. The expectation fur
ther is that the leaves of absence
granted Minister Egan and Consul McCreary
will be indefinitely extended and that ulti.
matter. they will cease to draw pay from
this government. 1t is understood to be
the purpose of this Government to cease diplo-
matte relations with Chile, both countries par.
ticipating in the desire to '.keep out
Of each others company" for awhile,
but i T. not their purpose to
denly, and therefore the simple method Of
granting leaves Of absence is resorted to.
Neither MIR. Egan nor Mr.. McCreary are to 60
back to Chile.
There was some talk when the consular and
diplomatic bill was under consideration In the
House committee, Of consolidating the Chilean
mission with that of Bolivia or reducing
the pay Of the minister to Chile. One or
the other of these things would have
been done, Il Is said, but for the reason that il
was understood In Q vague sort Of way that
We would not have any minis ter In Chile very
long,
delay In the settlement Of the claim growing
out Of the assault upon the sailo rs Of the Bal
timore, but this government viii probably

mately the Chilean government viii make
