CURRENT COMMENT.
THE BOULEVARD PLAN.
Eportland Advertiser,

With Mayor Bakers IDEA and plans
respecting the public parks the Adver-
tiser has always teeu in hearty Sympa-
Ihy, and it ia pleased to learn from his
statement TO this city council how much
progress lie has made in carrying out
those plans 1t appears that he has nc
Quired a considerable part OF the vacant
land abuttiDg on the Eastern Promenade
Oh advantageous terms and Is negotiat-
ing for other Ioss with a prospects OF sue
cess. He thinks that with little more
effort all the lard abutting on the Prom
enade may be secured by the city. The
Importance of this, not only to the pres
ent but to future generations, need not
be urged. The SEA view from Mummy
II i'll has been pronounced by travellers
one of the best in the world. This is
now clear and unobstrncted. To have
it marred or cut off by buildings would
he public misfortune; hence the de-
sira bility of preventing suoh thing by
getting possession CT the land on the
slope owned by private parties, while
it is still unimprOved and can be had
cheaply. In regard to the Back Bay
boulevard, the Mayor reports the free
gift to the city of long strip of shore,
and says that all the owners hut nye,
who hold less than one-eighth of the land
along the snors, have offered TO give the
land nect ssayy to carry out the Ohm
stead plan. The Mayor sees no reason
Why the boulevard may not be built
within a reasonable period OF time. with
ont burdening taxpayers. In that case
the chief objection is removed, for all are
agreed that the enterprise would be a
great thing for the city, in increasing
taxabls values and making what is now
an eyesore and a menace to the health,
a thing of beauty aud C joy forever. 10
perfect the plan, the improvement OF the
Western Promenade and proposed addit-
ion to the Oaks are necessary. THESE

action of the house to-day in
regard to the bill appropriat

this afternoon il was with u

diate effect. The bill had the
emergency clause attached, but
it seems there were just eighty
six present, aud two OF these.

negative. As a result, II is con
tended that the bill does not

in view of recent events they
had declined TO do SO. He said
further that it would not hurt

There was a bare quorum to-
day.
Should a quorum fail to ma

point was raised, a motion TO
reconsider the vote by which
the per diem bill passed could
not be spread on the journal, a
procedure which must be car

hours after the vote is taken,
or it will be too late. Members
who are hard up say the situa

further that if some escape from

matter is to corral quorum

MORGAN WANTS WAR.
The Senator Thinks Hostilities
Will Begin With Spain as
Soon as the House Pass
es His Resolution.

Washington, M a y a.
Especial to the Chicago Record
Senator Morgan looks for
ward to a declaration of war
from Spain against the United
States. | asked him today how
long such a war would last.
perhaps twenty FIVE days,
he replied.
What would it cost"
about 100000"
The senator estimates the
expense much below the hg-
ures which were mentioned at
recent gathering of the cahl-
net. There the opinion was
expressed that the preparation
alone of this country for hostili
ties with Spain would mean an
expenditure of S5Oo.ooo,ooo.
1t is significant that the expec-
tation of decisive action by the
administration has grown so
strong as to prompt discussion
in official circles of the proba-
bic cost of a declaration of war
from Spain. Senator Morgan
does not hesitate TO declare
| that it would be the quickest
and best way of settling the
Cuban question. He has little
doubt that events are leading
to such a situation. He be-
lieves the belligerency resolu
ton within a short time will
pass the house of representa-
1
tives, and then a declaration
of war will come from Spain.
He says he introduced the re
! solution with that expectation,
because it seemed to offer the
best way to the only proper
settlement.
Il had no idea of antagoniz
ing the president" said he. 81

democrats were with him in

thought | knew where the feel
ing of the country was on the
subject. The action of the sen
ate and the manner in which
public sentiment is sustaining
our action shows | was not
wrong "
What will follow, senator,
if your resolution goes into
force?"
"a declaration of war with
Spain, probably. That would
be the best thing that could
happen. 1t would give Spain
the opportunity to get rid Of
! Cuba without sacrifice of hef
honor, according to the Span
ish way OF looking at it. We

Havana, Sept. 4.-Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, United States consul general, accom- panied by his son and secretary, today embarked on board the Ward line steam CT Seguaranca bound for New York. When questioned as to his apparently sudden departure from Cuba, Gen. Lee said his leaving Havana had no signifi, canoe as he was simply availing him- self of a leave of absence granted him by tha state department.
 Previous to leaving the city, Gen. Lee called upon and bid farewell to Capt. Gen. Weyler and the Marquis Ahumada, the governor of Havana and acting cap- tain-general when Gan. Weyler is ab- sent from Havana.

Though army maneouvers on a grand scale are occur ring in the Crlmea, the czar at the War saw manoeuvers will witness the opera lions of 4,5O0 officers and 122, 900 men. The manoeuvers will be particularly directed towards solving the difficulty of supply ing the troops with hot food in the field and improving the bicycle, postal, tele- graph and ambulance service. The French army manosuvers which will be held in the north of France will bring two armed corps together. The British army manoeuvers. which finished today near Arundel and which furnished in- struction to 10000 men, have not called forth any particular comments from the military critics except their complaints of the presence of too many boys in the ranks and the remark that the conti- mental armies outclass the British in or ganization.
