The new rulers in Brooklyn were busy yester.
day in arranging for the administration of the

elapse before the complicated machinery of

Laughlin will probably go to Florida for o long

CLERKS TRY TO HOLD ON.

The Twelve Deputies Employed by tho Old
BOARD OF Aldermen Report for Duty Daily.
Tho twelve deputy clerks, who worked under
William II. Ten Eyck when he was clork Of the
old Board Of Aldermen, still report for duty at
tho City Hall every morning. They hold that
they were retained in tho city's service by the
action Of the Mayors Of the cities which were
consolidated. when they met prior to Dec. 81
and passed a resolution that all clerks In the
public service should be retained and employed
as nearly as possible in the departments into
which the departments In which they were
formerly employed were merged.
Naturally. they say. thoy should DO retained
by tho new City Clerk, but apparently Mr..
Scully docs not look at it in that light. Thus far
he has totally ignored the existence of Mr.. Ten
Eyck's old assistants. Yesterday he moved his
headquarters from MIR. Ten Eyck's old room to
tho new offices provided for him in the east wing
of the building. He did not, however, invite tho
old clerks to go With him: They stayed behind
ords of the old Board Of Aldermen.
Shortly after Mr.. Scully. departed Contractor
Brady's men came In and began to tear out the
partition walls. Tho old clerks say. they will
hang on until they are legally dismissed from
the city's service.

Reforms at tho Inrants' Hospital.

President John w. Keller of tho Board of
Charities and Deputy COMMISSIONS of Chari-
ties Thomas S. Brennan visited the Infants
Hospital on Randall's Island Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Keller was not pleased with the general con-
he said yesterday;
II found the sanitary condition of the hospital
execrable. The plumbing Is bad and the prac-
tice prevails OF having the sick children mix
with those that are well: They eat and in many
cases sleep together, intend to awe . regular
meals arc eaten in tho wards. This breeds I'M
cleanliness. OF the cnre OF the children 1 have
nothing to say. They seem well taken care of
and the medical attendance Is adequate, The
fact that such a large percentage of babies die
in tho hospital Is due to the fact that a great
many of them. are half dead when they are
brought TO the Institution"

jurisdiction Of the Commiss Toner Of Bridges,
and the Commissioner contend that thoy are
placed. beyond the general power Of removal
provision OF the charter.
The administration, 1t was said yesterday,
takes a different view OF tho matter. and the
Commissioners may 90 removed. They held a
meeting yesterday. but Mayor Van Wyck did
not attend It.
It ia said that tho new administration holds
that the new charter swept away all pre-
Ceding rules and regulations. including the
civil service regulations. and that no one 10 now
protected because of any orders issued previous
to Jan. !. In lew of this belief. some of the men
who have felt secure in their places because
they. thought they wero protected by the civil
service rules began to get nervous yesterday
and to fear that they would be dismissed
anyway.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The nomination Of
Charles Page Bryan of Chicago to be Minister
to China. which. because of opposition. was, at
the request of the President. withheld by Vice
President Hobart, was presented to the Senate
in executive session this afternoon, and re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
The opposition to confirmation has in no wise
abated. and it is possible that the nomination
will fail. Senator Frye. acting in behalf of the
missionaries, Is still active in opposition, as
are tho Colorado Senators and those from
other States. Senator Frye Is able to make con
siderable Roadway In his fight by reason of his
knowledge that President Mckinley is not sit
ting up nights endeayoring to force Mr.. Bryan's
confirmation The President feels, it is said,
that he has done all that could be expected OF
him by sending in tho nomination, and that
Mr.. Bryan's friends must do the rest.
During the recess of Congress just ended the
President endeavored TO shift about some of
the foreign Ministers, SO as TO send a more eX-
perienced and more able man than Mr.. Bryan to
China, and at the same time TO provide for
him. No Minister was willing to change, how
ever, as all had settled themselves and their
families at their various posts. 80 the Presi-
dent decided TO allow Mr.. Bryan's nomination
to stand and let 1t take its chances with the
Senate.

The Tammany men count on the fact that the
Commissioners are out of sympathy with, the
Republican organization to enlist the aid Of Re-
publicans in ousting them from office.
As all of the Commissioners are opposed TO
Tammany Hall and know from the Mayors
message that the administration Is not In SYM
pathy with their transit plan. some people
thought the commissioners might resign. None
of them, however, has offered TO do so yet.

that Assemblyman Jared SANFORD of the Second

duce a bill for the annexation of Yonkcrs and
Mount Vernon to New York city has caused
considerable gossip in this city. Fully nine
tenths of those who favor the bill are Democrats.
Mayor Leslie Sutherland was recently quoted as
having assured ssemblyman Sandford that he
was heartily in favor OF tho bill. He said to-day:
While l am willing to admit that there may
DO some very strong advantages In being an
nexed to the Greater New York, yet I cannot Soc
how they could benefit our city at. the present
time. Tho subject that is now agitating Yon-
kers citizens is tho reduction of the tax rate,
which Is almost sure to occur this season. ! am
strongly in favor of the consolidation OF the
cities. Of Yonkers and Mount Vernon. This
would make a city OF $4,000 people. The Hud-
son River and Long Island Sound would be con-
nected with a tive-cent fare. 1t would solve the
much mooted Bronx River sewer question. The
one big advantage would be the cutting In two
