NEW YORK FINANCES

One of the most difficult tasks in
connection with the consolidation Of
the several cities and towns OF the
Greater New York into one municipal.
ty has just been completed, and the re-.
suit, made public yesterday, will cause
widespread dissatisfaction.
The work was that Of equaiizinc tax
assessments throughout the coaso.ida.
ted territory, so that each Of the
FIVE boroughs will hereafter bear lis
fair share of taxation. When the
books OF the tax commissioners were
opened yesterday i. was found That
equalization had been interpreted 10
mean a general increase OF ell property
assessments, amounting 10 all to $42l.
512.S76.
The chief benefit OF the increase les
in the fact that i. permits an crease Of
the city's debt by one-tenlh ;aat
amount, or about 81, 900 600, so
that all the public Improve.

pleted, locIudlug new schools, parks,
highways, paving, bridges aud public
buildings. On the other haEd, tsxation
for current expenses will be more bur.
densome upon property-owners. as the
rate will not be materially decreased
Most of the increase-S307 goo COO in

Island, yet the loudest grumblug IS
heard in Brooklyn, which susiains only
$44 100000 of increase. Il Is Complain.
ed that 10 eqdaliZa assessments there
should have been no increase IN Brook
Ign, as the assessments in that borough
have always born higher ratio TO The
real value than in Manhattan.
In addition to the large Increase on
real estate there will be considerable
advance in the assessments on personal
property. Tax Commissioner Fe.taer
said last night: at is safe to sly that the
increase in valuations, both real ard
personal, will amount to about $500.

The Steamer ST. Paul.

New YORK, jan. 1O.-The American
line steamship ST. Paul had not been
sighted up to 1870 o'clock this morn
ing The big ship, with her cargo OF
human lives aboard, is now nearly
three days overdue The anxiety for
the safety of the st. Paul has been
somewhat relieved by the report of the
steamship America, which arrived at
Liverpool yesterday and which saw the
st. Paul in midocean on January 4th
during heavy snow s.orm. No sig.
nails Of distress were shown and the ST.
Paul. when sighted, was, according to
Ger position, nearly day behind her
schedule. Shipping men believe that
au ACCIDENT to her machinery is caus.
ing the delay and that she will reach
port late to-day.
QUEENSTOWN, Jan. 10.-The British
steamer Westminster has put in here
and reports passing two unknown
steamers coming east, one having the
other in tow. The disabled vessel
looked like big liner and it is thought
possible here that it may be the Amer
lean liner ST. Paul, which is several
days overdue in New York.

CATHOLIC CHURCH AFFAIRS.

Cardinal Satolli, former apostolic
delegate to the United States, is to visit
this country again this year. The af-
fairs of the church in the West Indies
and in the Philippines are about TO un-
dergo such an uprooting from the Gus
toms of centuries, when Spain and
Rome governed jointly, that the Vatican
is sending to the United States some ole
familiar with America, and, at the same
time, in close touch with Rome. The
educational question is very much to
the fore just now, not only in our re-
cent acquisitions, but in this part Of the
country. The Christian Brothers, who
maintain colleges throughout the United
States, are threatened with virtual clos
ing of their schools by the action Of
headquarters. at Paris. where the gov
erning powers have determined TO re-
vert to the practice Of 200 and more
years ago, when the foundation OF the
Christian Brothers was made. This
society, it will be remembered, was es.
tsbIi.hed in 1861 by Father La Sale
While this back ward step is being urg
ed by the French superiors in the Unit.
ed States, the church authorities, with
approval of Cardinal Gibbons, are en-
deavoripg to raise the course of instruc-
ton in the parochial schools up TO the
standard of the public ones.
1t is stated that the Pope of Rome
mas designated Mgr. Keane, who was
at one time tbs rector of the Catholic
University at Washing on, to 60 to the
Philippine Islands as the repre-
sentative of the Catholic Church. l. is
assumed that DR.. Keane's mission
aud duties will be similar to those
of Archbishop Chappelle, who has
been directed TO visit Cuba in the in.
terests of his church. The changed re-
Lotions between the church and the gov
ernment will affect the Catholic Church
10 the Philippines as in Cuba. The diff.
fculties in the east are perhaps even
greater than those confronting the cler-
gy in Cuba. 10 addition to taking care
that the vast landed interests of the
Catholic orders in the Philippines shall
be protected, and that suitable arrange
ments shall be made for the mainte-
nance of the secular clergy, whose pey
will not hereafter come from the gov
eminent, Dr.. Kesne will have to under
take 10 secure the freedom of the inanv
friars and members of the orders
who are now held as prisoners by Aguinaldo
1t is reported that Agoncillo, the sgent of g.
uinaldo, and who ia now in Washington as the
representative OF the insurgent chief, has stat
ed that q ransom OF $4,000 will be demand
cd for every friar sow in the hands of the in.
surgents. The three orders which are now
in Manila are amply able to pay such price,
exorbitant as it is, but it is doubtful if DR..
Keane will consent to recommend its pay
ment, or whether the United States will OK
pect such price to be paid. Under the
terms of the treaty Of Paris al Spanish pris-
oners are to liberated and seat home, and it
IS possible that the Spanish government will
insist that the Spanish clergy be included in
this agreement.

A TERRIBLE WRECK.

As has been stated in the Gazette,
there was terrible wreck on The Lee
high Valley Railroad yesterday, caused
by a head-on collision. Sixteen per
sons were killed outright, several Others
were fatally injured, and more tasu
thirty others were seriously wounded
The scene of the wreck was al West

by the New Jersey Central Railroad,

we're an excursion train coming east
from Shamokip, Pa, running Is the
third section of regular train, aud
short line train, running from Sou.h
Plainfeld to Bound Brook. The short
line train had only four passengers and
they all escaped injury. The excursoa
cars carried about 400. There was
freight wreck on the Lehigh shortly
after daylight yesterday at Bound
Brook, which blocked the whole rogd
Wrecking trains were sent FOR, AID
meantime the Lehigh trains were s='t
around the wreck on the New Jer-eg
Central. The wreckers succeeded "
clearing the westbound track early IN
the morning and traffic on the Lehigh
was resumed by means of that. The
fact that both east and west bound
trains were running on the same track
was primarily the cause of the accident,
though blunder on the part Of en-
ployees of the road is said to have PIE
cipitated it.

GENERAL Wheeler agrees with the

sionists that the seizure OF foreign terri
tory by the power of Nigh irrespective
of right, is only the legitimate result OF
the "logic OF events" and that large
standing army should be maintained t.
keep such territory in subj lection. Tha'
is the principle upon which Robin
Hood and Rob Roy acted. 1t may
succeed temporarily, but the logic OF
