Perhaps the only estimate that will not
be reduced is that presented by the Board
of Police Commissioners. The Board
asks for no more men, President
Feeney believing that the force
Is now as efficient as necessity
will require for fifteen years to come.
There is an increase of s3. 600 in the appro-
priaLion asked for station houses aud
prisons. The increase was mistake. as
S17, 600 will be sufficient. There is an in
crease of $3. 500 In the printing and sta
tionery. This is to meet the demands OF
tue three police courts and new station
houses. There is an increase of $500 in
the Committee on Health. This increase
Is mistake. Mr.. Feeney explained
the necessity of four new horses for the
department for use in the mounted
squad, also an appropriation for the es-
adjustment of the electrical patrol sys-
tenn in the Third, Fifth, Sixth and Sew
enth precinct. aud S., 900 for lighting the
station houses.
The estimate is closely figured and will
probably be concurred IN. Here IL ISL

Mr. Peterson wanted to know why an
increase of $1,000 had been asked for
clearing and removing ashes and garbage.
He YVES informed that it was in anticipa-
ton of the increased number of miles of
streets to be cared for, many streets hav-
ing recently been paved or ordered paved.
Mr.. Peterson next objected TO the increase
of S., 600 for cleaning sewers and receiving
basins The rotten condition Of the
sewers at present explained this. The
estimate shows an increase of. 81. 500 for
public grounds aud buildings. This is to
keep the buildings in repair aud pay PARK
laborers. AT this point, President Edel-
stein remarked that an increase would
not be necessary as the park laboters are
not paid any more.
Mr.. Peterson next objected to the in
ere :se of 0c0 in the estimate for the
reconstruction of sewers. The condition
of the sewers at present warrants the de-
maud.
The next estimate taken up was that of
the Aldermen. 1t passed with slight

Criminal Misnanags ment of Famine
Funds in Russia.
ST. PETERsBURG, Feb 22.-Complaints
continue TO be made of the action of the
administrative authorities in dealing
with the famine. 1t is asserted that at
several places the committees charged
with the distribution of food take adj
vantage of the utterly helpless condition
OF the peasants to compel them to give
way in matters concerning which they
have formerly been in conflict with
the authorities. With this object, the
poor people are refused all help until a
promise has been obtained from
them that they will pay in the
future the money fer land purchases,
their liability ami deprived of all
course open to them. The Wistnick
Eyropy, one Of the leading Russian re-
views, denounces IN indignant terms this
abuse Of authority and mentions that
among other places, Ii has been prac-
ticed in village where the prevail
ing distress Is aggravated by the fact
that the inhabitants have net been
able To repair the damage caused
by a contlagration last year,

and granaries IN the place were de-

owing TO their ignorance OF the existing
state Of things and their inertness,

From the table in the last British
Board Of Trade reports respecting

ages Of vessels, it is surprising to find
how very ancient many Of the craft

nine sailing vessels are between 80
and GO years old. eighteen are between
60 and 20 years, thirty are between 20
and 100. ard SIX are actually above Il
