CAN'T AGREE ON THE PARK
Twelfth Ward Improvers All
at Sea--W Want Harrison
Estate Site.

The differences between the citizens
organizations of the Hudson City section
as to the advisability of improving the
park site, at Ogden avenue and Bowers
street, are increasing, and at largely
attended meeting of the Twelfth Ward
Public Improvement Association, at Spltz-
nagers Hail. Boulevard and Lincoln
street, last night, a resolution was adopt
ed asking the sister citizens associations
of the section to defer all action until
after December g.
Secretary Bugash brought up the sub
iect by reporting for the Park Commit
tee the result of the conference with SINH
lar committees of the other associations
of the section.
A. Holder thought 1t would be a good
idea for the city to get land adjoining
the Ogden avenue site as far west as
Palisade avenue.
Treasurer Justus Herwig was utterly
opposed to expending any money what
ever on the present site. He said it never
would be any good.
Mr. Herwig thought that the Ogden
avenue strip should be sold and the pro-
ceeds applied to the improvement of the
reservoir site.
Mr. Matthes thought that, although the
site purchased was not central, as the
city owned it, they should do the best
they could with it,
The secretary was instructed to write to
the other citizens organizations of the
section and ask that all action be post
poned until Corporation Counsel McDer-
mott had given opinion as to the
right to use the unused portion of the
reservoir property as park site, as re-
quested by the Hudson City Improvement
Association.
Messrs. Matthes and Herwig were add
ed to the Park Committee.
Secretary Bugash was ordered to write
to the Street and Water Board relative
to asphalting the streets in front of Pub
lie Schools Nos. Z, and 10.
Messrs. Hewig, Matthes and Holder, a
committee to draft resolutions on the
Harrison estate as a High School site,
presented the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted
Whereas, The Board of Education,
at its meeting of November 10, 1888,
did, by resolution, recommend to the
Board of Finance the purchasing OF
the Harrison estate, located at Pail
sade and Newark avenues, as Ias
most centrally located and proper ,
site to erect the proposed New High
School building upon;
Whereas, The Twelfth Ward Public
Improvement Association approves OF
erecting all public buildings where
they will be equally accessible to all
residents Of this city; therefore be It
Resolved, That the Twelfth Ward
Public Improvement Association do
hereby indorse the action OF the Board
Of Education and earnestly request
the Board of Finance to purchase said
site at an early date; and be 1t further
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to His Honor the
Mayor, the Board of Finance and the
Board of Education

Beers Shell the British
in Natal--NeWs Is
Uncertain.
IBy Gable 10 The Associated Press ]

LONDON. Nov. %. 1S9s.-T9ae fact that
fresh portions Of Natal are being over
run daily by the Beers is producing ex-
asperation in that colony and intense
humiliation in Great Britain, where the
idea of a possible extensive violation OF
British soil was SO contemptuously dis
missed in the early stages Of the war.
Operators on the Stock Exchange here
are becoming nervous and the continued
fall in Consols exemplifies the restless
ness of the market The runlors that
peace deputation from President Kruger
Is on its way to Cape Town, for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the terms upon which
an immediate cessation of hostilities could
be secured. are discredited here, and 1t is
said that If such deputation has been
sent it will meet with scant courtesy, as
those who are conducting the war, 1t Is
added, will be satisfied with nothing less
than debating terms of peace at Pre-
toria, after a parade of British strength
throughout the Transvaal.
In the meanwhile. from the scanty and
emasculated dispatches which are drib-
bling in from the front, it is difficult to
form an opinion of the situation. The
Beers have already cut off two portions
OF the Ladysmith relieving force from
their base of supplies, and, with great
rapidity, are advancing on Pietermaritz-
burg with howitzers and other artillery.
General Clery's situation, 1t would appear,
must be becoming intolerable. so serious
fighting may be expected at any time, as,
1t is pointed out, the General must clear
his line of communications in order to
complete the concentration of the rehev-
ing force.
According to the latest reports from
Natal the artillery duel was recommend
ed this morning at Hooi River. The state
ment that the British garrison there is
only acting on the defensive, appears to
be an admission of weakness, and It Is
thought the troops may be at the mercy
of the strong Boer forces reported IN
that neighborhood.
Al collision may also be expected on the
western frontier within ty-eight hours,
If 1t is true that General Methuen has
started northward as he is certain to
meet entrenched Beers both at Belmont
and M0dder River.
1t Is reported that Mafeking is suffering
from lack of water and that fever Is rife
there.
Advices from Lorenzo Marques say
Transvaal recruiting agents have been
visiting arriving steamers and have sue
ceeded in enlisting three passengers from
the German steamer Kaiser.
A force of Portuguese police has gone
to Gazaland, where the natives are acting
in a threatening manner, the stores at
Koomau Poort having been looted.
The British transports Pavoria and
Cephalonia arrived at Durham today with
about 5000 troops, making the total ar
rivals of the First division II, 800 men.
Another 1900 are expected within few
