ing whatever to do with the feud. At
tempts to patch up the differences be-
tween the hostile tongs proved futile
and the authorities came to the con-
clusion that the only manner to pro
tect the lives of innocent outsiders
was to keep them out of Chinatown.
1t seems that the companies who are
running their tourist cars" to China
town have been responsible for a
great deal of the trouble in China
town and also for much of the vice
in that quarter and they have been
warned by the police authorities to re-
frain from meddling with the affairs

The owners of real estate in the
lower part of Manhattan Island are
mildly amused but by no no means
worried by the news that a man in
New Zealand claims to have propri-
etary rights in plot of about twenty
four city blocks in the neighborhood
of Wall street, between Broadway and
the North river. The claimant is said
to be the heir or one of the heirs of
one Robert Edwards, who settled in
Manhattan Island in colonial days and
purchased the land now claimed by
his descendant. The land in ques-
ton, having an area of about sixty
five acres, is valued by the claimant
at $56,000,000 Lawyers are now en-
gagged investigating the claims of the
New Zealander, who seems to have
only the haziest idea of the bound
aries of the porperty claimed by him
The officers and crew of the At
lantic transport liner Minnewaska,
which arrived in this port the other
day after stormy passage, had a
rather exciting and strenuous time
during that trip and the passengers
were mighty glad to leave the ship
upon its arrival. The Minnewaska
carried part of a menagerie on her
lower deck forward, including fine
Bengal tiger, sacred" COW and
other large animals from tropical
During the voyage the
tiger managed to break out of his
cage and he made fierece attack up
on the sacred" COW. Naturally there
was CONSERVATION among passengers
and crew when it became known that
he big tiger had escaped from his
cage and had the freedom of the
over deck. 1t required the combined
efforts of the menagerie men and
some members of the crew to drive
he tiger back to his cage and to
secure him properly. The COW which

New York, Nov. THE budget
committee of the board of estimate
has completed its computation of the
amount of money it will take to run
the city government of Greater New
York during the next year. The total
is $171, 505,7S7, an Increase of more
than SS,000,000 over the budget for
the current year This administrative
expenditure, which, in all probability,
will be increased by 'trifle of about
$4,000, before the last word has been
said, is many times larger than that
of any state in the union and greater
than the total budgets of many for
eign countries. The increase is prac-
tically accounted for by two items,
the amount required to take care of
the Indebtedness of the city and the
sum required to make up the tax col
lection deficiency. Next year it will
cost the city s5O,6OO,OOO to carry its
enormous debt, quite a respectable
sum, which gives a fairly good idea
of the gigantic scale upon which the
cTty OF New York conducts its af-
fairs. One hundred and seventy-one
and one-half million dollars is large
sum, but it is merely small matter
compared with the total of the sums
which the chiefs of the different city
departments estimated as necessary
for running their respective depart
ments.
The police department of New York,
under its new head, has begun pro-
cess of purifying and civilizing China
town, that picturesque, but crime
infested quarter in the Bowery dis
trict, which has heretofore given SO
much trouble to the authorities. The
almond-eyed denizens of, that quar-
ter, which for many years has been
one. of the great attractions for visit
ing sight-seers, are a peculiar lot.
Like all Orientals they are very I'M
communicative and exclusive and
scarcely anything about their doings
and affairs ever reaches the outside
world. At one time peaceful and
harmless, they become extremely pug
nacious at other times and their mys-
terious Tong wars are carried on with
the relentlessness and bitterness of a !
Sicilian or Kentuckyan feud. In re-
cent years revolvers have become the
favorite weapons of execution of the
feudists, supplanting the knife and |
Ratchet of former days But, unfor- /
tunately, the Chinese are excruciat- !
ingly poor marksmen and nearly every
time some unpleasantness broke out
between the tongs, the indiscriminate
use of revolvers demanded one or
more innocent victims who had moth

next move i'm general campaign for
increasing their revenues to offset the
advances in wages 60 employees and
the Increased costs or operation in all
departments. Rate clerks of the west
ern trunk line association have been
checking over the tarifTs for several
weeks for the purpose Of demonstrate
ing which rates may be deemed .rost
susceptible Of advancement.
They have compared the commodity
rates with class rates on similar arti-
cles, and their figures will be conEid-
cred by the traffic officials at meet
ing to be held within a Few days.
The st. Paul and Missouri river
tariffs include some $50 articles ON
which special commodity rates are APP
piled vhen shipped In carloads, repre-
senting about rs per cent of the traffic
to those points. Glass rates are not to-
be affected, as these as well as many
of the commodity rates are held down
by the maximum schedule established
by the state of Missouri, which gov
erns nearly all western freight rates.
and the railroads predict that by the
time the list has been subjected to the
of rival Interests the
number Of advanced win be small.
Such articles as brick, cement drain
pipe, tile, sewer pipe. iron and steel
and agricultural implements are men,
toned by the roads as being too low
as compared with other articles. Com
modify rates are TN general about 25
per cent lower than class rates for
similar articles, and 1t Is the endeavor
of the roads to bring the two kinds of
rates closer together
While the shippers insist the plan Of
the roads is to quietly slip advances

the railroad men declare that any talk
of a general advance ii absurd for the
