NEW YORK LETTER

New York, May 10.-The evictions
of tenants is reaching proportions
that dwarf any previous occurrences
in that line that have ever happened
in this city, or in Ireland. on the
East Side there are a thousand of
them in operation and the courts have
been crowded to such an extent with
women and husbands resisting evic-
ton that one magistrate left the
bench to escape signing the papers, he
declaring that If he wasn't there they
couldn't make him sign the docu-
ments that would put people in the
streets. Up in Yorkville a similar
state of affairs prevails, one batch of
evictions number 400.
In most of the cases the trouble is
caused by new landlords who have
just bought the property and have at
once raised the rents; in most cases
25 per cent. The proceedings in tie
East Side cases will take at least a
month and the magistrates cannot
hear so many cases anyway before
such a length of time, and then the
magistrates sympathize with the
tenants, and help them in all ways
that they safely can. In the York.
vile cases the dispossess warrants
were all issued, but extensions were
granted in many cases. In these cases
also the landlords are not so much to
blame, as they were compelled to turn
the tenants out in order to comply
with the orders of the tenement house
department for improved sanitation
of the houses. and the landlords cam
not make the repairs as soon as the
tenement house department insists
shall be done.
Losing Marine Trade.
New York is really alarmed at the
threatened loss Of marine trade and
that the prominence of this city as a
seaport will be lost on account of high
charges to steamboat companies for
piers. Complaints have been coming
in from all directions, especially from
the large steamship lines. New York
rivals are formidable indeed, Boston
charging nothing for wharfage, and
in New orleans the charges are
merely nominal. New York has so
many advantages that she may hold
ner place at tne neau OF tne process
sion, but not IL steamships are driven
to ports where the charges are more
reasonable.
Newport News is now attracting a
large share of the trade that should
come to New York, that port offering
many favors, while New York seems
to be putting all obstacles in the way
of commerce that she can. But the
authorities are awakened to the peril
and a special commission has beer
appointed to fix the rentals to b,
charged for piers in the new Chelses
improvement area. Dock Commits
sioner Bensel says the steamship com
panies must be treated with NOR
fairness II their trade is to be kept
He says no other port can interfer
with New York passenger trade, bu
that all the great internationa
freight trade will be driven away un
less some Inducements are held ou
to the companies.

to throw open for cultivation 1,O00,-
900 acres of arid land in southwestern
Texas. The plan is being worked out
through the American Rio Grande
Land & Irrigation company, which
owns the land in Hidalgo and Cam
eron counties, Texas.
These two counties lie adjoining the
Mexican border and they stretch along
the Rio Grand del Norte.
The plan which has been made for
the redemption of this land is to
clear 10000 acres at once of all the
arid growth of cactus and to irrigate
Il by drawing the water from the
river. For this purpose a power sta
ton is being located on the railroad
these two counties, and the power will
be transmitted from the central power
station to the pumps at the river,
seven miles away.
Scientists who have examined the
land declare that when irrigated II
will yield abundant crops of sugar;
and the plan, as now developed, Is to
plant 100000 acres of land In sugar
cane within the next five years. A
big central sugar mill is to be erected
and It will turn the raw sugar over to
the Rock Island to be hauled to the
refineries. The contract for the pow
er plant has already been let and the
machinery has been ordered. Both
the Rock Island and the Frisco roads
are stockholders in the irrigation
company.
