WANT 100000
FOR PUBLIC PARKS
Commissioner mcfarland
Suggests Immediate Pur-
chase of Tracts.

With an eve 20 the future as wen as
the present needs Of the Capital, Com
missioner mcfarland is advocating an
appropriation Of approximately S2,0oJ, 20
for the purchase Of park lands. Under
the present system. the acquisition Of
each parcel of land FOR park purposes
Is provided fer by separate bills. The
Commissioner Is OF the opinion that II
would be matter of economy to pro-
vide a lump appropriation, giving the
Commissioners money and authority to
purchase now all the park property re-
oujred in the next century.
Every year as building operations
increase, sites viii be fewer and prices
higher" said the Commissioner. THE
Commissioners have been fortunate in
theiE real estate purchases, always get
ting low prizes and satisfactory sites,
and we could. by competition and judici-
Gus selection, acquire park lands now
for the future at a reasonable cost.
The title to all park lands. as well as
OF the streets and avenues Of the city
OF washington, IS in the name Of the
United States and the matter OF add
tional parks ought TO be treated as part
OF the national Improvement OF the Ma
tionsl Capital
However, If the District Of Columbia
Is called upon to pay any part of the
purchase price, provision should oe
made for advances from the United
States Treasury so that our taxpayers
would not be burdened inasmueh as me
improvement would benefit future as
well as present generations and Is OF
an extraordinary character"
Estimates aggregating SS99, $40 for the
Improvement and preservation OF the
public parks and reservations for the
next fiscal year are submitted by Col
Spencer Cosby, superintendent Of build
ings and grounds The following items
are included: Potomac Park rOadWays,
5000: for park watchmen's lodges, /
$780, grading Henry Park, SIS, 900; oil
for macadam roads, 5000; Executive
Mansion roads. 5000; for the construc-
ton Of memorial to Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant, $4,000 for small reservations,
S406hi for children's Fairgrounds, 8, 90.
The following Increase in the pay OF
park policemen is recommended: For
those who have served less than three
years, $3.50; for those who have served
over three and less than five years,
$500, and for those who have served over
lve years. 81, 600 per annum.

IS ON VERGE
Of A REVOLUTION
Declaration of Martial Law
Only Thing Left for
Authorities.

MADRID, July 27.-The declaration Of
martial law in Madrid and an the other
large cities in Spain is believed by the
military authorities today to be the
only way TO keep the country from be-
ing plunged into a revolution.
The radicals in Madrid and other
cities have seized upon the present cha
otto state Of affairs, resulting from the
unpopular war in Morocco, as opportune
for the Inauguration of a nation wide
industrial strike such as IS already un-
der way at Barcelona, and in the sup
preston Of which martial law has been
declared there
The launching Of a strike at this time
would, it is feared, complete the over
throw Of the government, which is al
ready lettering as a result OF internal
troubles and the prosecution of a war
that is opposed by nearly all OF the
people. The cities being the centers of
Industrial orders. the authorities believe
tnat they viii have to declare marual
law there to keep the agitators from
gaining the upper hand.
As proof Of the widespread revolu-
uonary movement. appeals were re-
eeived by the ministry Of war today
from a number Of garrison command
ers throughout Spain, that they must
have re-enforcements as speedily as
possible. or there is danger Of various
province officials joining the antf-gov-
eminent movement These comma nd
ers report that since Saturday this
movement has become positively revo-
iutionary and that it is growing in
popularity to such en extent that the
majority OF government officials are
now Identified with It,
The growth Of disaffection through
out the country has greatly weakened
the ministry, and its early resignation
is looked for.
Reports from Barcelona TODAY say
the deela ration of martial law there
has had 40 appreciabIe effect on the
strikers, who continue their meetings
IN pronunciation Of the war against the
Moroccan tribesmen. It is now be-
heved that the only possible means of
populariZing the wer will be for King
Alfonso to go TO the front.
Despite the fact that the King has
lost much OF his popularity since the
beginning Of the war, he is still the
most loved ruler that Spain has had for
many years, and II is believed that were
ne to join the soldiers in the Rim
country, the people would cease their
opposition.

Governor $ Message

To the Eleventh Legislative Assem-
| Ibly in Extraordinary Session:
You have been convened in extra,
ordinary session, in accordance with
the request of a large majority OF
the members of this Assembly, for
the purposes stated in the call, as
follows:
First. To consider and, if found
desirable, to appropriate such addi-
tional sum as may be necessary to per-
nit the purchase Of materials Of ez-
cry kind or character produced or
manufactured in Montana that may be
used in the construction Of the Capt.
tol additions, and to make any amend
ments to the Act authorizing the con-
struction of said additions the Legis-
lative Assembly in it's wisdom may
uGCIIl duSlSdUIGs
Second To make an appropriation
for the support Of the Publicity De-
partment and for advertising the re-
sources of the State for the fiscal year
1910.
You have heretofore committed to
the State Board Of Examiners the
duty Of building the additions to the
Capitol. The Board is now performing
that duty. With every act of the Board
SO far performed, and with every ar
rangement SO far made for the con-
struction Of the wings, | have at all
times been in absolute accord. You
have not been convened on account Of
any dissatisfaction on my part with
that has been done, or with
that has been arranged for
by the Board.
The enactment Of the law authoriz-

flooded eighty acres of homes, and
forced $500 persons to fee, scantily
clad, into the raging storm.
Thirty-two cities and towns, which
last night were plunged in darkness cw@
ing to the cutting off of the electric
light service, hope to have their light
ing facilities restored by tonight.
Worst in Eleven Years
The storm was easily the greatest
that New England has experienced in
many years. All along the coast pheno-
menal tides were reported. In many
places, sea walls were battered 20
pieces, boulevards razed and curbs and
houses along the shore damaged.
In Boston the tide swept over the
Wharves; across Atlantic avenue and
as far inland as the Chamber of Com
merce.
The worst damage wrought by the
storm was in Chelsea and Everett
where, it is believed, it will be sever
al weeks before the tide-gate on the
Island End River can be repaired, and
the flooded district reclaimed.
Having escaped through the snow
scantily clad and many of them
barefooted, the residents Of the sub
merged section of Chelsea had to
stand for hours in the blizzard, wait
ing for wagons to take them to shelter.
Hundreds of the homeless were taken
care Of in relief stations established in
public schools and churches.
No further damage resulted from
the tide late last night The water
did not rise as high as in the fore
noon.

ing the construction of the wings,
any amendment that may be deemed
necessary to be made thereto, the
providing Of funds to pay the cost Of
construction, and any and all regula-
tions relative to the amount
that may be paid for labor or
materials, are purely legislative func-
tons
have been constrained to grant
your request and give you opportunity
to assemble and exercise your best
judgment, rather than to deny your
petition and thereby arrogate to myself
legislative prerogative.
Full authority has been given you
in the call to enact amendments, pro-
vide additional funds, select mater
ials, and make or change any regula-
tions that your judgment may seem
advisable.
The report of the Board of Exam
iners, showing what has been done
and the plans that have been outlined
for the furtherance of it's duty, is sub
mitted herewith. Your approval or
further directions now seem in order.
In my opinion, the Board has in every
instance followed the plain provisions
of the law heretofore enacted by you,
and further responsibility is now COM
mitted to the Legislative Assembly,
the supreme authority. That some of
the materials entering into the con-
struction of the wings can be produced
cheaper than Montana ma
terials of like kind and quality, seems
to be an unquestioned fact. Whether
It IS advisable to pay higher price
for materials produced or manufact-
ared in Montana than that for which
materials Of like kind and quality can
be procured elsewhere, and, if so, how
much, you only, in view of the law
now in force, may decide.
I submit that If you deem it advis-
