A T T REMINDER.

STRENGTHENING COMMISSIONS Andrews
had a brush with the Board OF Estimate
and Apportionment yesterday, which
ndei IN his favor. He desired u
positive assurance hat he should have
some $1,000 spot cash to make up a still
existing deficiency left by his predeces-
sor In this years appropriation for the
Department. Failing to receive the as
surance lie threatened 10 return to his
office, discharge all his men and stop
cleaning the streets.
The incident calls to mind the fact that
the deficiency left by eN-Commissioner
Brennan has never been made the sub
tect OF official investigation. as It ought
TO have been. and that no one knows
what has become OF the money. 1t may
haye been s%Quandered in e~Ntravaganl
prtces paid for horses. 1t may ave gone
in unwise expenditures on sco~s and
garbage dumping. However II was
spent, Il was a clear violation OF law,
which prohibits the head Of n depart,
ment from exceeding tho amount appro-
prIated for the various items in his est
mates.
1t would be interesting TO know Just
why the Brennan accounts have not beer
thoroughly overhauled. and how II was
that the eX-Commiss!Oner managed e

DR., P%arkhurs, Is now directing his
attention 10 the Fourth Police precinct
and has notified Capt. Edward Slevin or
the existence OF n number OF disorderiy
houses In Cherry, Jane, oak. Water ana
New Chambers streets, which he de-
mands shall be dealt with at once In the
manner prescribed by law.
The Fourth Police Precinct Is notori-
ously the hardest In the city. When
Capt. sleyin took charge Of the precinct
It vas terrorized by organized bands OF
rufians. and II was unsafe to venture
in the streets IN some parts OF IL inter
dark. II Was the home OF the amo
"Whyo'' gang. who were SAFE In their
crimes through the fear OF witnesses 10
testify against them. Other ORGANIZED
gangs Of thieves and cutthroats hah the'r
headquarters in the district, ana ropoeries
and felonious assaults were committed
almost nightly. The notorious pan
Driscoll' murder case was one OF the
results Of the lnwlessness OF this or
ganized rufianlsm and crime.
The police were powerless, and In
some parts OF the precinct n patrolmah
could not venture on post alone. Nhen
Capt. Slevin took charge. he nj once
set to work to break up the gangs Az
the peril OF his life he singled out the
"Whyos'' for his special attention. ana

DR.. ~Parkhurst's charges OF The exist
ence OF certain disorderly houses In the
precinct are. no doubt. true. Indeed, the
Doctor says hat his detectives have re-
peatedly visited the resorts on MS is'
and are prepared to prove their chnrac'
ter. 1t Is hoped that Capt. SleVin VII
at once proceed to close the places desig'
mated by DIR. Parkhurst and all others
against which proof OF lawlessness car
be procured. 1t Is admitted by DIR. Park

resorts as DIR. Parkhurst points out

LET THE E L RING.

Tho announcement that for the hrst
In half a century the famous Trinity
bells will not "ring out the old year and
ring In the new" on New Years eve TINS
year will be n disappointment to many
old New Workers. who look upon
the ringing OF oil Trin!ty's
chimes on the incoming OF the new
year as almost a sacred Observance.
Many old residents have been accustomed
to 20 down to Wall street at midnight
on the last day of the yea to listen to
the musical bells until 1t has become a
habit they would regret to miss. anu the
notification that the voices OF the chimes
are to be dumb this year will seem to
them almost like the death OF a friend.
1t IL to be hoped hat the rector OF
Trinity will reconsider his determina-
ton, n let the chimes be heard as
usual. The police ought to be able to
keep the crowd in order, especially II 1t
is announced beforehand that the blow
ing OF horns will be regarded as a public
disturbance. subjecting the blower to
arrest. The railroad people can GER
ta,nly issue orders to their engineers not
to sound their whistles at all while the
chimes are ringing.
AL this seems easy enough, and 1t II

PERNAMBUCO, Dec. 27.-The greatest
mystery seems to surround the move
ments OF Admiral de Mello and his war
ships, the Republlca and Aquidaban.
All sorts OF reports are circulated con-
corning him. AS a fact. however. moth
ing seems to be definitely known ex-
cept that Admiral de Mello with two or
more warships started north on Dec. 20.
with the intention, 1t Is presumed. of
engaging the new Brazilian cruisers
Nictheroy and America.
Since then nothing has been seen OF
the rebel ships.
The Spanish warship Cristobal, Colon,
arrived here for coal and orders yester-
day, and her officers reported that on
Christmas Eve there was, according to
information sent to them. a heavy en-
gagemcnt between the rebel ships and
the forts. The result of the engagement
was not known to tn officers.
