I don't mean by this the land>ad been abeolutely settled beyond any change, but a general plan hal bem agreed on, subject to any changes that might be thought advisable fherefot*-, I can not be credited with having been one of the original organ liter* of tbs system. "Among the plec#* sugested In this plan was that known as the Taggart land. I m*d# no objection to #ny of the pieces whsn 1 first went on the board, because I was a new member, and anew nothing about the matters before too board. But as I bscam* familiar with the board’s affairs, and laveatlgated the sltuatton, I thought I saw where several pieces that bad been suggested might be omitted wlthost injury to the eyatem^esi>eclally in view of the fact that the board was likely to be limited In fund*. Among them was this land for propagation purposes.

I had not seen Mr. Book waiters last statement Whtnd stnt my telegram aa published in ths Sentinel yesterday, and In that telegram I referred to the statements made In Mr. Boohwtiter's speech some time ago, that I had authortted Mr. Taggart to represent me at some meeting held at the Grand Hot*!. Mr. Bbokwaitsr** statement that I did not favor the purchase of the propagation land Is true, but I never hod any chance to vote for or against It, becau** the proposition never came biff ore the hoard for action, and neither Mr. Holt nor Mr. Uebnr ever made a motion to that effect whlls 1 WiS present. However. I admit that I Sid. as Mr. Ho.*waltcr utafW., say to Colonel Pern’ that 1 agreed with him In hi* opposition to Us purchase, for two reasons: first. It was not especially needed, and. secondly, becauss 1 wm- opposed to buying any land from the mayor, for th«* raison that It would create a noundaI .and Injure the iMlminlstration, let the prpcsMlng **' aver so harmless. } “l do not deny thui l made tld* statement to Colonel fefry, and I never hud fhe slightest Intention of voting to take In the mayor’s land at any time. It l* due to Mr. Taggart that I should say that In the only convonmtton* l ever had with him on the subject—and they were un the street—he told m® he agreed with my position and did not desire that his land should be purchased. “I whs opposed to the purchase of Mr. Taggart's land -by th® hoard for the eaine reason that I would oppose the purchase of any of my own land—for the reason that, however proper Its pur* that* might be. there would be «»m® who would misconstrue It.

They have had tittle to gain and much to lose by their sendees, but have cheerfully sacn- * ced Ihclr time and means In the perirmance of their duties, and deserve better at the hands of their fellow-citi-schs than they have recstvs4 ••I desire to repeat that l never authorIsed Mayor Taggart to represent me at any meeting of the Park Board or Its members anywhere, and during mv ten week* of Ulnesa I did not aee Major Taggart or communicate with him. I never agreed to sign any agreement with the finance committeo or anybody elac, and Mr. Holt never presented any agreement to me for signature. “All my actions as a member of the -■park Board (and that of the other m«>m fere also, eo far as I know) have been vfelr. square and aboveboard, and if there Is anybody anywhere that knows anything of my actions as a commissioner that he thinks I want kept concealed.

Florence D Thatcher says that Wallace P. Thatcher nisrepreaested his po*Stkm in life when be married her. In a filed against him for divorce that when they were married he told her that he owned a home, and took her to a handsomely furnished house, which he sold waa hte. It developed that the bouse waa leased, and the furniture bought on the installment plan, and only one payment made. Soon after their marriage ooOectors began to appear at the house, and alao men who worked for her husband, who importuned her for money in his shoe nee. The conditions finally became so bad that she was taken sick. Her husband refused to stay at home with her, and would ho gooo from early morning until tote at night, leaving her to answer the collectors. One day all of the furniture was taken from the house, and she went to her mother's to live. Six months totor her husband came to see her, and upon his represen tattoos that be would rent a house and provide for her properly she consented to live with him again. He waa with her one day and then deserted her for the second time, moving to Maptoton. " v —— Another Raised BUI Passed.

D. C-, October “.—(Special to the Near York Herald.)—T!** adKinistr&ticc proposes to make clear to Great Britain the embarrassments she has canned this Government by her refusal to participate, with Rusto and Japan. In tbe proposed sealing conference. A note to now to coarse of preparation at tha State Department which will deprecate the withdrawal of the British government ax such a tots hour and con attention to the fact that ths communication of May 1ft which Secretary Sherman addressed to Lord Salisbury. announced that Russia and Japan would be invited to take oart in the conference. Ths British government has. therefore, no reasonable ground at this time for refusing to participate when she had already accepted an invitation to take part, knowing that Russia and Japan would be represented In Abe eonIt is also understood that the administration will yield to ths Inevitable and ask Great Britain to send representative* to meet those of ths United States. There la no Intention, however, to abandon the proposed conference with the representatives of Russia and Japan. These gentlemen will reach the United States in a few days. The latter conference will be held, it Is thought, after representatives of the United States and Great Britain have hod a meeting and reached a conclusion, and the delegate* of Russia and Japan will then be asked to ratify the action of the AngloAmerican conference. The determination to send the not* above referred to followed the receipt of an official announcement from Ambassador Hay to the effect that Great Britain had refused to take part In tbe conference in view of the representation therein which Russia and Japan would have. The real reason behind Great Britain’s withdrawal is traced by the officials to Canadian Interests In the sealing industry, and the fear of the British and Canadian authorities that the United States, Russia and Japan being In the majority, will outvote her representatives on all Important matters which may be. considered.

TO STRENGTHEN THE NAVY. Secretary Long will Ask tor Increased Appropriations. Washington. D. C., October 7.—(Special to the New York Herald)—That the authorities are anxious to place the navy on an emergency footing is shown by the intention of Secretary Long to submit an estimate to Congress for |1,3<M,8Q0 to be used In purchasing ammunition for tbe service for the next fiscal year. Of this sum 81,000.000 is needed to equip navy ships with ammunition, and ine remainder will be spent In adding to the reserve supply of powder which the navy will begin to establish within a few days. The Secretary will also ask for 175,000, with which a powder factory will be established. It is understood that ths Secretary will request Congress to appropriate about 84.000.000 for settling with the Carnegie and Bethlehem companies, which have practically completed their contracts for supplying the battleships Kearsarge and Kentucky with armor. The Secretary has also determined to adopt another recommendation of C&pt.
