New York. Oct. sl.--tspeciai. ,-- With much of the moral horror and rec vulsion that marked the 'red light the people of Gotham are today prob- ing deep into the mess of vice and crime that has just been shown to still cling to the skirts of the sluns.
 That vicious cesspoofs are every where laid underfoot in the darker by- ways of this metropolis has come as news to the more sedats body of the community. though the men who know the town have for years seen with shame the revival of the hideous prac- tices that srpead living hell system- atically about the homes of the de- fenceless poor.
 Regardless of place or politics, the aroused decency of the New York pub lie Is today demanding one of the most drastic house cleanings that has ever secured this> city. Every turn of the town will be at once subjected to the scrutiny and scourge of as vigorous . body of vigiiantes as were ever form ed here. and no power of person or party can stand in the way of the pro- posed cleanup. For terms of years the people of New York City may slum- Der morally. but their awakening ale W~se othsS oH soSiai anu poAtieei earthquake.
 Children Called.
 To invoke the 1s,000.0o0 school chil- dren of the whole country In defense of the dying birds of the land. a call has gone forth today from the assembled representatives of the National Asso- ciation of Audubon Societies here. In convention at their annual meeting these workers for bird life and service to the crops have brought from the ends of the continent the same reports of destruction to the insect eating, feathered friends of the farmer through wanton slaughter and the greed of the millinery and market interests.
 For the perishing races of America s song and game birds no hope can be held out. they declare, unless every boy and girl is speedily reached and taught the lesson of the dependence of the country's wealth upon the actiyi- ties of the winged workers that nature has intended to check crop pests and human plague over the lands and shores of the whole United States, New York Is deeply interested In this cam- paign of the Audubon workers, and their plea has not fallen upon deaf ears here,
 Battling for Brooklyn.
 Wit hthe paw of the Tammany tiger already outstretohed to seize the De- mocraey of Brooklyn, disorganized and panic-stricken by the loss of its leader. the greatest political play that has been witnessed here In years is today about to be enacted. only by the mas ter cunning of McCarren was the Dem- ocratic machine of this borough of churches ever enabled to hold together party front of considerable strength and unity in the campaigns of State and city. The talents of the dead lead . CT alone served to render Brooklyn a fastness to be counted upon in the Democratic battle line. Now the pow CTS of Tammany are seeking to add this unknown territory to their strone- holds In Manhattan with all the &C., quisittve passion at their command Tammany has made captive much that was strong and steadfast in this town but 1t is not believed that she will swallow Brooklyn without struggle.
 Housing Riots.
 Sung by the worldwide re- Professor Ferrer, the sociai- istic swarm of agitators in the under world here are today threatening to riot their way to the very Serieus af4 tention of the police. ParaGes. public protests and revolutionary pri ,ma- tions have been put forth in rapid suc- cession from the hidden headquarters of the anarchistic and socialistic pow- CTS. until the poorer quarters are be- coming aroused over the arbitrary act of the Spanish ruler to almost the pitch that brought on the recent riots In Flu ropean capitals.
 On the great good sense of the aver age worker of the tenement districts the authorities are relying to avert any open demonstration such as bespat- tered Union Square with blood a year or more ago. Strict watch will be kept on the leaders of this movement, how ever. till It's theatening aspect has passed.
 Looking for Lipton.
 Brimful of sporting spirit, the fa- milar person of Sir Thomas Lipton is today walking the streets of the town. and great Is the greeting that has been offered the genial yachting baronet. Frankly admitting that he is after an American cup again, this hearty old nobleman of Great Britain Is here to tap the sporting blood of the yachtsmen of this country. Though no definite proposal for another sail. ing match between nations has been made as yet 1t Is strongly felt here that sir Thomas will get all and per. haps more than he seeks by way oi Yankee eonttstants on the water. It is some time since Lipton. the good loser has appeared about town, and every one will be glad to see him brouhgt kept and badly beaten here for another
