The minority seem to have been perfectly willing to carry out the real intention of the Legislature and allow the Park Commissioner $500,000 each of the five years till the amount should reach $2,500,000. Whoever are or may lie the Park Commissioners and we see no reason to doubt the integrity and capacity of the present board, or their (itirpose to make the mont of the money for the public benefit the minority plan of disposing of this $2,500,000 is far preferable to the majority method.

As an interlude of the general park discussion, Alderman IJarr, on being accused of being a renegade Democrat, announced his political independence. He did not scare worth a cent. Sandwiched into the debate was the vote upon confirming two of the mayors nominations for East Boston directors. Here a scene occurred lietween Aldermen Donovan and Hart, as the latter was naturally indignant that the accuracy of his count of votes on confirmation should be questioned. Aldermen Hart and Barrcom-iwsed the committee to count.

Alderman Hart is too well known in Buxton to be injured by any imputation on lii honesty or square dealing. CONCILIATION AND ARBITRATION. The long pending misunderstanding between the Knights of Labor and Messrs. R. G.

liaskcil St shw manufacturers at East Weymouth, has been satisfactorily settled hy arbitration. Messrs. Haskell St Co. chose Mr. C.

Willard Carter, of the firm of Dunn, Green leather dealers, Boston, and the Knights chose Mr. C. J. MeMorruw, a practical shoe manufacturer of East Weymouth. These two chose as umpire Mr.

Stephen II. Allen, pulp and paper manufacturer, whose mills are at Wendell, Mass. The arbitrators recommended Messrs. Haskell I'o. to open their factory, ami the laborers to Is set to work pending the arbitration, which was done; and the striker in some branches of the factory, who were disconcerted on some minor points, were also recommended to resume work, which they readily did.

These preliminaries having lscn settled, the arbitrators went to work to adjust all mutter in dispute. The firm as well as the Knights offered the arbitrators every assistance in their power, and the work of settling the dispute lietween riiOorOiO men was thus satisfactorily accomplished. It is understood that this arbitration is accepted by many as a test case, ami the local public have awaited the result with much interest. Arbitration in this form is becoming quite common through the State. There had lieen much jcalonsy engendered on Isith side by outside interference, and it had grown into a settled distrust, which sometimes found vent in unjustifiable remark.

The arbitrators sifted this matter to the bottom and found that the causes were without foundation on lioth sides. As soon as this was made plain each party came forward with gfMsl will, and the items in dispute1 after them the actor's work dies when he measuring some nix feet on the lint, were all 'Ibs.

Howells at hi Beacon-street house obtained some interesting statement from tlie successful novelist. In speaking of the nature of his "Study" in Harper's Monthly Mr. Howells, picking up the magazine from the table, said Well; here is the August number, for instant'. It begins with a sort of esay on criticism then I pas to Grant's last volume, then to Lieutenant Greely's, and naturally a comparison is instituted lietween them. Then I take up the 'East Angels.

I like very much the new historical romance, Constance of Acadia, and 1 pas to that. I try to have a thread of thought running through the whole thing, a sort of keynote that I can come liack to and strike from time to time, and yet 1 try to treat a good many different topics. But there is always a great deal in the Study' about tlie novel of which I atn always thinking; perhaps I say too much alsnit them. The 'Study' is really a series of literary topies drawn from book." "Is that work congenial to you? "Yes; I like it very much. When I began to write the Study' 1 wa a little nut of practice in that kind of writing.

When I first took hold of the Atlantic Monthly, I wrote all the book notices. Then when I left that magazine I ceased writing any, and did not do any sort of critical work for four or five years. It is pleasant, of course, to get liack into the current of literature, to see all the new books, etc." Mr. Howells said that he is at work on a new story, the opening chapter of which will lie published in Harjier's early in the year. The title ha not been derided ujem.

but the story will be about as long as "The Lady of tlie Aroostook." Mr. Howells said in regard to the new I look "It will lieconiiei'ted with American life and society, a most of my other works have been. I do not Iielieve in doing anything else. There have lieen only two of my books A Foregone Conclusion' and An Indian Summer' whose scenes are laid abroad. One was laid in Venice, the other in Florence.

A juirt of the scene of The Lady of the Aroostijok was laid in Venice, but that of ail the rest of my works is in and about Boston. I don't seem tu get away from there.

special of Ang. 2 says The wheat market ruled very steady today. The receipts at the primary markets were large, but still were lighter than laat week, and indicated that the lint rash to sell by the producers was over. We dont look for any immediate revival of the great movemen, as the farmer will soon be Inisy again at work at the fall ploughing. Foreign bouses were large buyers of August and September wheat in this market this morning, presumably for the continent, as today is a holiday in England, and unfavorable weather waa reported from Pans and stronger quotations, notwithstanding the shower.

Throughout the West and Southwest the corn market acta stubborn. The hull claim that the great damage already is Irreparable, and for the moment the market is not weak, and In the event of continued droughts, prices may work ud still higher. The increase of 24 millions bushels of wheat was less than expected. The foreign situation was stronger, and we look for encouragement in that direction. THE OIL MARKET.

It is luirdly possible that the French would change, as they are reported to have done, the free system at their Ecole des Beaux Art just to spitethe American artists.

It is well understood now in Pari that the tariff taxation of French paintings does not represent the American artists, or any intelligent class of the community, hut only a small Philadelphia lithograph interest employing the demagog ism of Randal in Cun- Tc. Stub Brook is likely to prove a very expensive waterway for Boston. Besides the amount that must be paid for damages because of the last overflow, it is estimated that an expenditure of some SGXJ.OOO will be re-iliiiretl to avert the danger of a similar dis-antrona occurrences. And this smn will only prevent flooding in Roxbury. It is proposed to construct a new channel of "capacity for discharging 3000 cubic feet of water per second, from a point 700 feet above the Treinont-stieet crossing of the Boston St Providence Railroad, to the pond of the Back Bay Park, a distance of 4312 feet." It is estimated that it will take a year to construct the works.

To protect the low land of West Roxbury from all liability of being submerged will be an immense job, necessitating an outlay of some three millions of dollar. Thk President's oleomargarine communication to Congress seem to labor and to be apologetic, but, a we conceive hi state of mind, not out of fear of losing the vote of this or that interest, which i always the cheap and easy explanation of cheap and shallow political editors but because of honest and natural doubt over a tough If any interest is to have the benefit of a protective tax which the President evidently doe not believe right In principle It a certainly only lair that the farrn- shouhl at last receive some pro em lection, having had so long to pay protective taxation for others business on everything they wear and every utensil or other manufactured article of daily use.

Itre Antoines date palin, which for over a century at least has stood in what is now the centre of the city, has fer many years In-on an object of interest. A score of writers have introduced it into tlisir stories and sketches, and many local traditions cling around it.

It is said to have been planted by a Turk, who claimed to In a brother of the sultan and visited New Orleans in 1727. When the licloved Father Antonio lie Seilella or 1fcre Antonie, as he was more familiarly known died over fifty years ago, this palm stood in the midst of his garden. lie had cherished a special love for the tree, and left orders that it should never lx) cut down or injured. The superstitious reverence with which the Creoles regarded it was somewhat justified by the fact that it passed unscathed through two disastrous fires that burned everything combustible around it. The old tree blossomed for the lad time thirty-three years ago, but lias retained a semblance of life until recently, wben it was found to be entirely dead.

From its large size and great heigbt it was a constant source of danger, and a few days ago it was pulled down, thus removing ne of the most prominent landmarks of the Crescent City. Senator Edmunds has written a letter to a friend in Vermont, explaining his ipiiisition to Mr. Becks bill, lie says it did not proceed from any personal motive, but because he believed it almolutely unconstitutional and wholly unjust, iinles we are to av that a senator shall pursue no private calling whatever. Mr. Edmund delineated his course in resjieit to corjiuration.

He had always endeavored to hold railroad and other corporations in vigorous legislative restraint, and keep them within legislative jsiwer. He instances his support of the Thurman bill of 179. In 1481, he says this was the terrible instrument of cumjiening the Union Pacific to iay three-fourths of a million into the treasury. He has struggled, he declares, to comjiel street railways, which are "dominating corporations, to pay taxes. Suit was brought at his suggestion, and nearly SlluiW have been obtained.

The cases in which he lias tu-fod as counsel he thus refer to: I have not lieen the attorney fur any corporation except the Central A Southern Pacific, and that as 2 sjieeial retainer to argue case in the interest of the United State against the pretension of California. ami iny argument was devoted to the defence of the United State.

The only other ease was several year ago in a controversy in New York between two set of MN-kholder of the Northern Pacific. Those instance are the alisolute sum total of my connection a counsel with any railroad company, saving a counsel for Central Vermont, anil am now counsel for a railroad company in Scotland in its effort to rotnl a corporation in Oregftn to pay what it is claimed is due. Have always declined to be counsel in any case adverse to the United state. This is a frank statement, which, will strengthen Senator Edmunils with the general public. A DEADLOCK? The uldermanic meeting yestorday was an important affair, with one or two exciting episode.

The princijial interest of the session centred in the ilisfiosal of the park loan. And here there were some attempt at sharp practice hy those favoring such action as would debar the City Council from exercising further control of the fiJjDun.OOQ loan. This effort wa prematurely to kill the order, and thus shut up the minority to the alternative of supporting the largest sum or lieing stigmatized as opjionent of iirk appropriations. In order to do this a motion was made to indefinitely postpone the last-mentioned order liefore any proposition had ln-en presented to substitute it, thus reversing all ordinary imrliamentary practice. Cushing says that really there are no minority reiiorts, and adds, they are not, in any parliamentary sense, reiiorts, nor entitled to any privilege as such, and their only effect is, in the first place, to operate upon the minds of memliers as arguments, and secondly to serve as the basis for amendment to he moved on the resolution or other conclusions of the report.

If they contain or recommend a hill, it i read, not as a hill, hut a a part of the report and for the information of the House. The attempt partially to gag the minority was defeated at the outset hy the sound and judicious ruling of Chairman Allen, who -decided that the 52,500,000 order wa liefore the board on account of It rejection being reconsidered at the last meeting, and that the 9500,000 order could not be first acted on. In the debate which then begun, the opponents of the larger sum, through Alderman Freeman, rightly stated the legislative intention, we think, which was for five successive city council to authorize the issuing of $300,000 worth of park bond. Alderman Carroll, as an advocate of the largest aim, lugged in politics, religion and race questions in a manner not at all likely to please enlightened advocate of park appropriations, it was plain that the $2,500,000 order could not receive the necessary two-third votes, and therefore Alderman Donovan moved to lav the same on the table. Again the chairman properly ruled that this would carry the whole subject, as, indeed, it composed the whole subject, before the hoard in any strict parliamentary sense.

An appeal was taken, the decision of the Chair negatived, and the loan order for $2,500,000 laid on the table. Subsequently the smaller order was taken up, in defiance of parliamentary law, and indefinitely postponed. So that the majority suppose that after all they have placed the minority in the predicament of being classed as adverse to reasonable park appropriations, provided they will not vote against their belief of what la right in the premises and sustain the $2,500,000 order. It ia highly improbable that this order can pass, and unless the $300,000 loan can be revived in some way as a new proposition, park expenditure this year must stop. The responsibility for such FRANZ LISZT.

Iieath tot broken the last link In the clialu that bound the musical history of the last part of the century with that of it beginning. It wa given to Franz Liszt to know nearly all the mnslcal giants of the century, lacgin-ning with Beethoven, whose kiss he received when he displayed his precocity liefore the master, and including the myriad lesser light that have since shone a composer or executants. It was indeed something to re. inemlier with pride that the composer of "Fidelio and the Choral Symphony" had with a kiss testified his appreciation of the youthful genius ami his tielief in a brilliant future fur the long-haired, pale-faced lad. Liszt has since walked with kings and hols miblied with princes and has counted a Roman fiontiff on his list of friends.

But not royalty itself could say or do aught tlint should depreciate in the mind of him who received it the immense significance of Beethovens kiss. This sublime indifference to the claims of rank as compared with those of genius forever abided with Franz Liszt. What musician of prominence within the last half century or so has not been indebted to Liszt for instruction never given for an honorarium or shrewd and valuable advice, or an introduction to individuals or the public that has been of worth? Wealth, social distinction, influence were as naught, unless the musician who came within Liszts charmed circle had tlie gifts that Nature may lavish on a favored child, but which no money can buy. Tills very democracy was a probable cause of Liszts exceptionally broad catholicity. Today, he would occupy himself with a careful revision, done with the reverence of one master for another, of the Bach preludes and fugues, or with the preparation of other works of a possible antiquity for the modern pianoforte.

Tomorrow, he would put together a fantaisie on Verdis Rigoletto. They have said much lately of the debt due the late king of Bavaria for his services in the cause of the Wagner music drama. But liefore Louis had heard a note of a Wagner opera, Liszt had made a public, and a public of the largest intelligence, listen to those works which led off the advance of the new thought in music. This power of commanding attention from the unwilling always remained with Liszt and was never abused by him. Accepting the homage which was his due, and which was offered by every one, in all ranks, Liszt never forgot that Art still exacted from him the devotion of a true votary, ami the flame on the altar was kept alive liy him to tlie end.

They whose good fortune it was to come into personal relations with Liszt will forever remember the master as a man of singularly fascinating powers. Always the gentleman, and always the man of grace, Liszt knew bow to maintain the dignity of a king without oppressiveness, ami to be the affable companion without a sacrifice of the sterner virtues. He had the ready wit of the French whose tongue ho preferred to speak but when most caustic it was without ill-Rsture and hto courtesy was a reflection of that kindly spirit, unselfish, but unshrinking, which shone through all he did for hto beloved art, or for those of hto exponents who had hto veneration or who enjoyed the favor of hto love. It to a mean and despicable mind that re calls now the life of the master at the time when youth sat at the prow and pleasure at the lielm. Whatever hto frailties, he had the manliness to acknowledge them.

In all hto nature hypocrisy found no place. The stern- up mens minds alsnit a great topic, you do sotm good you make them think not only of those but of other thing." "What do vuu think of Professor Davidson on Zola?" I only saw that little bit of a scrap about it in the Transcript, so I could not form any opinion aiiout it. To my thinking, on the moralistic side. Zola does not need any defence but group him with Christ and Plato was where Mr. Davidson made his great mistake.

Of course, if a man treats vices frankly, he makes them ngly because they are ugly; and that, I suppose, is Zola's i hief merit as a moralist. It seems to me that Zola is a verv earnest man. And while 1 would nut touch his material with a pair of tongs, a lu-fiNit pole, or anything of that kind, still he has a right to do what he is doing, and he is not doing it in any vicious way at all. to my thinking. Of course it is very hard to take any position in regard to the utility of jiortraying vice, or trying to overcome the evil in the world by printing everything intimately connected with it.

Whether or not much is to be gained in that way I don't know. But if Zola is an honest man, as I Iielieve he is, and chooses to do it, I say lie is welcome to do so. What do you tliinjt of Zola's ability?" I think he ia the greatest Frenchman living. I do not think lie compares with the Russians at all; he cannot approach such men as Tolstoi and Dostoievesky."

"What are your working hours?" "I work from nine in the morning until one or two in the afternoon, after that the work does not seem to be in me; I could force it I suppose.
