New YORK, May 6.-The Times says: At
the corner Of Mott and Park streets stands
the Church Of the TRANSPORTATION, a sort
o. Roman Catholic shrine amid the filth
and fostering humanity Of an exceedingly
nondescriptive neighborhood. 1t is in the
very heart Of the Chinese quarter. Across
the street from it is a block of six or eight
old buildings, which, it is estimated, con-
tanned q week ago a population Of from 300
to 500 Cinnamon. The next block from
| Park street to the lower end Of Mott, shell
tered 500 more, and had its hotel and gen.
eral travellers agency, where not less than
so or 60 swarthy Asiatics were usually quar-
tered. The whole Monaghan population
Of the 70 blocks on Mott street has been
calculated at more than 1000, living a life
BY themselves, having their own institu-
tions, and forming q sort of city within a
city. They were fully as orderly and paid
higher rents tnan the population they su-
perceded, and Mott street landlords were
not at all ayerse to listen to their overtures;
but in the meantime they had completely
isolated the Church of the TRANSPORTATION
from its usual congregation. There were
many complaints from these who attended
its services that they had to cut their way
through an army of heather on Sunday to
obtain access to the confessional, and some
thing had to be done to rescue the old
church from being converted into a grocery
with posters in strange languages disfig-
uring the stone pillars. In this emergency
action was taken with decision, and the
moon-eyed denizens of Mott street woke
up q few days ago to find that their oomi-
Giles had passed into new hands, and they
must vacate on MAY LIST, or at the expira-
ton of their monthly holdings. The cor
p~oration had leased the whole series Of ten
ements from Pell street to Park street, and
refused to let to Cinnamon on any terms.
Other landlords in the vicinity took the
cue, although they liked their tenants, and
for the last week q wholesale eviction has
been going on. For the most part the ex-
PEELED tenants have succeeded in finding
apartments in the neighborhood. One old,
tumble-down rookery in Park street, which
formerly paid the landlord only $3S per
month, with a miscellaneous ~tenantry, is
| now renting at $50 per month to a colony
| of Chinese. In several other instances
| rents nave been doubled by shrewd land
| lords, by taking advantage of the demand
| thus created, but the general result has
been only to scatter the colony over a wider
area, without extinguishing it.
