He Favors the Daggett Farm.

Editor OF the Tribune.
VIII you kindly allow me space In your
very valuable paper to say a word In re-
gard to the much talked of public park.
l am working man with a good-sized
family, and assure you wish there was
such place in Pawtucket where / could
take my wife and children on Saturday
or Sunday afternoon, or on any other oc-
casion. IL is shame that In such a large
and growing city as Pawtucket there Is
no place but Dexter street grounds where
a person can 20 and have q little recrea-
tion, and that only In the shape Of foot
ball or base ball game, but for which OF
course, i and many others are truly
thankful. went all over the Daggett farm
last Sunday morning, the result being
that l was greatly pleased with the
grounds.
There are large tracts of land on the
farm that are simply lovely, and could be
made with moderate outlay one of the
most beautiful places that the eye could
wish to gaze on. Where will you find a
more lovely place than the entrance to the
farm of Brook street, with the picturesque
Aoh- Az" ho iiSoA oh eho ioit uuu tuo pchuti-
full pasture and sloping grounds all
around2 Why, this Is just the place
for public park.
What the people of this fast
growing city want Is place
that Will be (contiuued) large
enough for a park 10 or 20 years
hence as well as at present. A place
where one will see the full enjoyment Of
life, such as bicycling, boating, base ball,
foot ball, cricket, etc., ETC., nice picnic
grounds would also be desirable, where
one could take his wife and children and
stay an afternoon roaming along the
banks of the beautiful river or taking
merriment watching the little ones sailing
their boats on the pleasant lakes. Lads
and lassies could there be building up
bright hopes for the future and enjoying
the seclusion of the ever welcomed
woods
Now, Mr.. Editor, all these enjoyments
are embodied In the Daggett farm, and /
assure you ali the workingmen and
women that am acquainted with, think
that the Daggett farm is the proper place
for public park. Others no doubt Will
favor the Dunnell estate, but ali ask of
them Is to take a walk over the Daggett
farm, and / am sure common sense will
naturally say to them, "This is the place. /"
Yours very truly,
ID. TUDHoPE BROWN.

Friends Of Repeal Anxious

NIGHT SESSIONS PROPOSED
In Order to Force the Silverites to

senator's was held. There were present
Senators German, Voorhees,, Faulkner,
Gray and several Of the other leaders Of
the senate and friends Of the administra-
tion measure. The main point to which
the senator's are said to have addressed
themselves was the possibility Of bringing
the silver question TO vote.
A canvass was made OF the names Of
those who intended speaking on the sub
ject, and this disclosed the fact that the
limit Of legitimate debate would not be
exhausted until this week had ended, and
possibly not until one or two days Of
the next had been consumed It was
agreed that after that speech making
would be equivalent to filibustering and
that every speech made should be for the
purpose of using time and postponing the
day for final action.
How to prevent this Is the question
that senator's that are desirous of securing
vote are seeking to answer Cloture Ia
the conference said. cloture had no more
chance Of passing the senate than would a
measure for the repudation Of the ma
tional debt. The mere attempt at debate,
it was argued, would be hailed with de-
light nv those opposing repeal, because 1t
would give them an opportunity to talk
upon something else and thereby consume
more time. The vote will be reached, II

Twenty Four-Hour Quorum.
Early next week motion will be made
unless IL Is made sooner to take effect
on a certain day-providing for night ses-
sions. and those sessions will be made con-
tinuous, 30 that quorum Of the senate
will be required every hour Of the "a In
this way, coupled with the powerful in
iuence of the business interests of the
country now demanding repeal, the re-
pealers think they can force the silver men
to come to terms and consent to the taking
of "a vote. 1t looks very much as II this
program would be inaugurated next week.
The probable action Of the house In TAX
ing up the bill for the repeal of the federal
election laws have also come In for its share
of this discussion, and various questions as
tot he effect OF such action by the house
were expressed A division as to this
policy was manifested. Some of the COM
mittee thought it extre,nely unwise to
plunge the hcuse into "A bitter partisan
discussion ju nj his time, when the Re-
pu bicans of the senate were working with
the Democrats for the repeal Of the law,
for which purpose the president alone had
called congress to ,er'er.
Others met this line Of argument with
the statement that senator's were not to be
deferred from doing what they conceived
to be their duty in this matter by any agi-
tation that might arise In the other body.
The general opinion Is that nothing will
be put in the way OF the house doing as 1t
thinks best in deciding upon the bill
which will be reported Thursday.

TO KEEP DOWN EXPENSES.
State Exhibit Of Massachusetts At the Worlds
Fair Has Proved Costly.

HAvERHILL, Mass, Sept. 13.-The meet
ing Of the Haverhill board Of trade this
evening will heartily endorse the move
ment started by the Lowell board of trade
for an improved road for vehicles and
bicycles from Lowell to the sea. This
scheme is partly the fruit of the recent
visit of the state highway commission to
the Merrimac valley, and partly the out
come Of years of agitation by prominent
citizens aud by the newspapers. The
state commission among other things
proposes to gridiron the commonwealth
by several parallel highways, built on q
magnificent scale and running Longitude
nally from the Atlantic ocean to the state
line.
They will ask that the road start at New
buryport and traverse Salisbury, Ames-
bury, Merrimac, Haverhill, Bradford Neck,
Methuen, Lawrence, Dracut and Lowell,
and that 1t be made to sustain heavy loads
Of merchandise on broad tires as we'll as
pleasure vehicles and bicycles
After reaching Lowell it Is intended that
the road continue west through Aver,
Fitchburg Athol, Gardner, Greenfield and
across the BSnkshire hills to North
Adam, forming ribbon of macadam
equal to any Of the military roads of
Europe from tide water to the Hudson,
and making the first and northerly Of the
translate highways Contemplated by the
commission.
A transverse road will then be pro-
jected, connecting Boston, via Cambridge,
with Lowell and Nashua, Manchester and
Concord, running thence up the valley to
Lake Winnepisaukee and the White
mountains, as 1t Is understood that New
Hampshire has placed herself In re-
ciprocal position in this matter.
President Sanders Of the Haverhill
hoard of trade is enthusiastic upon the
subject and said that the desired improve
ment can be obtained from the state IL all
the municipalities directly interested make
q concerted demand for It..

Boston, Sept. 49, Thus far the state of
Massachusetts, has expended slll, TBS on
Its exhibit at the Worlds fair. The
total appropriation for the three
years from and including 1891 was
e175,000. In 1891 $4,000 was appro-
priated and $4544 expended; In 1899
e75,0O0 was appropriated and $47,00S ex-
pended; in 1893 s25.OO was appropriated
ana xty, x78 expended so far Besides this
the Legislature appropriated sl2. 900 for the
opening exercises Of the Massachusetts

for Massachusetts, day. June II, last.
Nearly the whole appropriation was ex-
hausted In both cases.
From this out the expenses will be kept
down to the lowest possible limit, so that
a small part Of the appropriation at least
may be returned to the state treasurer.
