CHINESE NEW YEAR FESTIVITIES
THE MAYOR OF CHINATOWN REFLECTS
ON AMERICAN POLITENEss IN
SPEECH AT RECEPTION

The Chinese New Years Day was more generally
celebrated yesterday in the Chinese quarter than
ever, and all day the merchants OF Chinatown rode
about in their carriages calling each other and
wishing each other Kong he fab Foi''-or, in other
words, a happy New Year Chung Pao Hsi, the
Chinese Consul and Lock Wing the Vice-Consul
kept open house at the Consulate No. 2s West
Ninth-st., and In the forenoon received large
number of callers, who drove up IN carriages. The
Consul served light refreshments, like tea and con-
fections. One of the customs which may appear
somewhat novel in the eyes of Americans was the
makebeeve presentation of gifts to the Consul by
the merchants. Consuls not allowed to receive
gifts. but to show their goodwill toward their Con-
sui the merchants brought generous quantities of
candied ginger sugared cocoanut, dates figs. lychee
nuts and other delicacies, presented them and took
them away. The Consul made the regulation visit
to the Joss House in Mott-st. at o'clock in the
morning, and went through a religious New Years
service and his example followed by the we'll
TODD merchants.
At the general offices of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, No S53 Broadway, a reception was given
in the Oriental room fitted up by the company
for the entertainment of the Chinese customers.
The Chinese Consul and the Mayor of Chinatown
headed delegation of merchants that called early
in the afternoon. The Mayor did the greater part
of the talking. In response to the welcome ex-
tended tC him by j. s. Geagan on behalf of the
railway people he said
lluStrlouS Sir we extend TO you the greetings Oh
the New Year and happy to note that the
relations between the Americans and the Chinese
are growing and cordial We assure
you we are ready to meet you more than half way
in matters Of commerce and diplomacy, and we
hope that the goodwill will increase. Our dis
tingushed Minister in this city few nights ago
said that Americans would do well to study the
love of the Chinese courtesies in everyday inter-
course. The ancents used 70 say that golden
pheasants would nest the roof of the house Of
the polite and lay him golden eggs.
While yesterday was officially the Chinese New
Years Day the merchants will celebrate to-day as
well as the first three days of the year are in

SUBSIDY BILL WOULD GIVE DEMO
Gratis AN ISSUE.

John De Witt Warner, who represented the Re
form Club of this city in opposition to the bill now
before the House providing for ship subsidies when
the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries
gave a public hearing the measure. Tuesday,
says that the Reform Club will take back nothing
it has said about the alleged efforts of lobbyists to
get the bill through Byron w. Holt. The secretary
of the Reform Club. under general authority sent
out great many letters in opposition to the bill.
These letters made some Of the members of the
House committee exceedingly angry when they read
them. Mr.. Holt's letter said, among other things
Lobbyists in the employ of the prospective bene-
hciaries of this bounty have already carefully can
proachable" Senator and Congressman has by
some kind OF a promise or bride been reasoned"
with and made to see the benefits of subsidies
General Grosvenor, at the hearing asked Mr.
Warner If he had written the circular containing
this charge, and Mr.. Warner did more or less ex-
planning When Mr. Warner was seen yesterday
he said
gressmen have been brbed. but it is perfectly well
Known mat nat sonetnlns equivalent to bribery is

gressmen who deliberately place themselves in

their own differences as to what has influenced
them.
"Wn the bill pass?'
AN answer to that question involves too great
degree Of prophecy, replied Mr.. Warner las
Democrat, 1 free TO say that believe it would
be a good thing for the Democrats 10 have Just
such bill this pass. 1t would unite the
Democrats and give them issue for the National
campaign such they do not possess at the pres
ent time.
The Reform Club will doubtless follow up the
fight it has already begun against this bill We
are in the habit of following up such matters.
From what / and heard in Washington the
lobby in the interest of this bin is large and
powerful and resourceful were those on two
occasions when the Sugar Trust wanted certain
