Supt. Power Thinks One Might BE
Built i'm Fall Greek system.

Superintendent of Parks Power says that
there are several sites in the proposed park
system that would be suitable for a large
art building, such as Mr.. Stanton. executor
OF the Heron bequest, thinks should be do
mated by the city for an art building. Mr..
Stanton's idea is to take a popular subscrip-
ton for an art building, investing the funds
of the association in such way that the
income might be used to buy American pic
lures for a permanent collection.
while a location in the Fall creek and
White river system might be considered
little remote from the city" said Mr. Pow
er, for the location of an art building it
should take into consideration that the great
art building of New York city is located i'm
Central Park While it is several miles
from many portions of the city, ii is visited
by residents of all parts. The very idea of
park is that ii shall be visited by all class
es, so that il an art building were located
in it it would be visited by all who went to
the park. OF course, if the association were
given a site for the building, Mr. Stanton
proposes that the title to the land would
still vest in the city There ought how
ever. to be no trouble i'm agreement from
the city that such IA building should never
be converted 10 any nsc other than that for
which it was originally designed. Concern
the State authorize the erection of an art
building OH the park land north of the In
stitute for the Blind. 1t strikes me that that
ground or even University Square would
be too small for "A suitable building mas
much as most OF the grounds would he oc-
cupied by the building and there would be
little room left for the surroundings.
should think that with 100000 the amount
Mr.. Stanton suggests might be raised by
popular subscription and life membership
a very cfeditable building could be erected"
While at first glance it appears that it
would be a little remote from the center
of the city to erect an art building i'm the
Fall-creek parks, Mr. Power thinks that
after a while the public would realize that
that was the best place possible, as the
there would be harmony in the surround
ings. He does not seem to think there

Such is the declaration made by former

Part of it came in the form of letter to
A. G. Spalding, and was read at the meet
ing of the Chicago Athletic Association to
establish an Arson testimonial. Unless
Arson can be induced to reconsider, which
is not likely, the matter is at an end. Fol-
lowing is the letter written by Arson.

honor and compliment duly appreciate:
Implying as it does the hearty good will

and inexpedent to accept the generosity
so considerably offered. Reiterating. my
thorough appreciation of the proffered
kindness, ask you to believe me, sincerely.

PROSPECT FOR PEACE.
But Situation Still Critical. .--Presi-
dents Message Deferred.

dents Message Deferred.
In spite Of the very critical situation
over the Cuban matter, the prospect last
night was very favorable for peace and
"peace with honor"
President Mckinley was to have sent a
message to Congress yesterday recon-
mending either intervention to put an
end to the contest in Cuba, or recognizing
the independence of Cuba, or both-no one
seems to know just WI hat. Congress was
expected to respond, and il Spain de-
INJURED the dogs Of war were to be loosed.
But certain powerful influences have
been making for a peaceful solution.
Though Spain denied our right to inter-
vene, she lent willing ear to the offer OF
the Pope to mediate, showing that her po-
sition was weakened. Several European
governments and leading hnanciers have
been laboring with Spain also.
AS result it was announced yesterday
that Spain would probably yield to our
demands In few days and the presidents
message was deferred.
Congress was disappointed at the post
ponement of the message and inclined to
be angry, but will probably await the
presidents motion. The probabilities
strongly favor an acquiescence by Spain
to our demands. The crisis is not by any
means past, however, and the situation
may change completely at any hour.
1t is also stated that one object in post
poning the message was to give Americans
time TO get out OF Cuba. In case OF war
