TO-DAY IS NEW YEARS.
It's the Chinese Holiday This Time,
bat Chinatown In Quiet.

The Chinese New Year-year 4 of the
republic, or under the ancient calendar
year 2466--was celebrated in China
town with the passing of midnight last
night Fire crackers, which are usually
exploded TO drive away the evil spirits,
were suppressed. The police, who were
out in even heavier force than for the
days preceding since the execution of
two tong men at Sing Sing, feared that
tho snap of fire crackers might cover the
sound OF shootings, as 1t has In the
past Search was made for supplies,
but none was found.
Mott, Pell and Doyers streets were
hung with religious emblems and the
five striped flag of the new republic.
The storekeepers were busy all eve
ming cleaning out their shops and like
wise cleaning up their accounts, for
the Chinaman plans to pay all debts
before the new year comes In 30 as "a
start II with clean slate.

ALBANY TRYING TO
RUN new YORK? NO!
Senate Leader Brown Says
Only Laws Passed Are Those
Proposed by City.
URGES SALARY CUTS HERE

ALBANY. Feb. Ex-senator Brown. Re-
publican leader. questions the contention
a. the New York city authorities that
half OF the present S2o0,O00.oo0 New
York city budget is due to mandatory
legislation passed at Albany and de-
clared tonight he would favor Comp
troller Prcndergasts scheme for iegis-
latlon giving the New York city authori-
ties mower TO override this mandatory
legislation by authorizing them to reduce
Salaries in every direction.
In regard to the suggestion that the
Legislature had added 100000 t. the
city budget in increasing teachers sal
aries alone. the Senator pointed out that
the Mayor had to approve this bill.
Mr.. Brown said he could hardy see
the need of a legislative invcs tigation OF
New York citys financial condition.
why have any Investigation 10 dis
cover the statutes forced upon the city
OF New York by the LEGISLATURE asked
Senator Brown. 1T would he simpler to
write letter to Albany naming the
acts with request for their repeal.
since the Constitution of 1891 no act
has gone upon the statute books until
after being passed upon by the Mayor.
1t would be interesting to have list OF
the mandatory charges imposed upon
the city OF New York during the last
twenty years over the Mayors veto.
Greater New York has so many rep
rescntatiVes in the Legislature that the
people felt 1t necessary in 1894 to pro-
vide in the constitution that she should
not have more than one-half OF the
Senate. My observation Is that New
York Senators treat all OF their New
York legislation as Ringing upon the will
OF the Mayor. What else can they do In
the face of his veto power.
"Perhaps the present city officials
treat as an imposition upon them all
legislation heretofore passed at the re-
quest of the city and expressly AL
proved by the Mayor. N so, | agree
with them, but the waste and eNtrava-
gance thus effected is their own tx
travagance and not that of the Leg
islature
ut is serious mistake for the cit!
government to point to Albany as the
cause OF their present deplorablc con
dillon, because II indicates that they
don't even know the cause Of their un-
doing and therefore are in bal way
- cure II.
"Clty government in the United states
on a big scale is so bad that 1t has
scarcely missed being a failure. Greater
New York was a mighty effort to in
vite the greatest failure OF all. Nat
urally the present administration does
not care TO be looked upon as respon-
sible for the fifty years Of mismanage'
ment, and | sympathlze with them hui
that is no reason why they should moi
understand and acknowledge what the
matter with them is.
so far as my observation goes. the
Legislature is ready now to 60 almost
any length to aid the city. That Is, The
Legislature Is willing to continue -
get out OF the road as II has done ir
the past"
