Never since the days when old wooden-legged Goy Petrus Stuyvosant and his convivial Dutch Connetimen started the jolly coremony of sitting up all night to see the old year depart and welcome the birth of the new year bee Gotham witnessed any such wholesale jamboree as this town had in its uproarious and widespread welcome to 1802. The tremendous and overwhelming outbreak of onthusiasm and noise at Pat Gilmore'8 special jabllee around the illuminated City Hall, and the tumultuous glorification of the coming of the new year around old Trinity with its melodious chimes. were morely big concrete chunks of the enthusiasm that out over the entire length and breadth of ManhatIsland, and which was maintained from sundown on Thursday until long after sunrise yesterday, with an ardor that astonished even the natives.

The town is used to huge celebrations of all sorts, but the New Year's festival of 1802 was Itte half a score of these great popular outbursts of rejoicing rolled into one mammoth jubilee of uproar and conviviality. It seemed as if the whole town had with one accord, and for some reason which has yet to be explained, joined in making a holiday that would be remembered in the annals of the metropolis as the howling success of the century. 1 The popular jamboree began before the sun was down. Its Arst manifestation noise pure and simple, or rather noise pleated and tremendous. Small boys and men armed themselves with horns blew them with concentrated power never before equalled.

They all sorta of horns. Horns of tin and of wood and horns of pasteboard, and or all aires. Brokers blew them on 'Change, business men tooted them in the dry goods distriot, and boys and men marched up and down the popular thoroughfares blowing a merry carol. When the adults got tired of blowing they took to another style of horn. It generally had pretty big stick in it, and it ended by producing a much more complicated and marvellous uproar than all the other horns put togather.

Everybody who knew what good liquor was began to drink a health to the other fellow Aret, then a health to the new year, and then success to everything and everybody in general in a comprehensive burst of good felLow hip that have rejoiced the soul of old Peter Stuyvesant. testure After niche an unprecedented and unique was introduced in the popular jubilee he aretty and conspicuous the appreciation matrons joined with the in and the men.

As the third Collector of the Port during Harrison'sA dministration, it is apparent to Republicans that Mr. Handricks can do about as he pleases in his office. It was said yesterday that Mr. Harrison could not afford, under any circumstances, to have Mr. Hendricks retire from his place.

Mr. Hendricks appreciates the strength of his position. Col. Erhardt was greatly troubled by the special agents. They had their own schemes to work, and they were powerful in his day.

Fassett was not long enough in office to run up against these people. But Hendricks is the. man, according to the Republicans, who can now dictate the policy of the New York Custum House. Should he demand that the special Treasury agents stop their interferenco with the affairs of this port they would have to it. ciates his Possibly Mr.

Hendricks scarcely apprepower." said an eminent Republican yesterday, but I believe that he does. Ho is a partisan Republican. There is no mistake about that, and I believe that he is laboring to ascertain the means by which he can circumnavigate the civil service rules and give the patronage now enjoyed by the Democrats to the Republicans. I believe that if Gov. Flower turns out the Cornell holdovers.

Hendricks will turn out every Democrat in the Custom House. He will do this despite the objections of his personal friends. The Democrats in the Federal service are protected by the Civil Service laws. Frank Hatton and other influential Republicans demand the retirement of Theodore Roosevelt. There is nothing in the Civil Service laws that demands an explanation for a removal.

Hendricks. from the day he entered the office as Collector of the Port, has had frequent conferences with the local Civil Service Board. That Board must any way. set up itself against Mr. Hendricks, He will not stand it.

He will, conform to the laws. but ne will not permit the local Civil Service Board to run him. and neither will he permit Theodore Roosevelt to play the high muck-a-muck, and as for the special Treasury agents and their sohemes, he will do what he thinks is wise." It was even said that Collector Hendricks Was now powerful enough to suggest any changes at the Appraiser's stores that may be necessary. Some of the local Republican leaders object to the distribution of patronage made under Collector Erbardt. The Republican critics say that it was uneven.

They point to the fact that the Thirteenth, Twenty-second and Twentythird districts have had "recognition" altogether out of proportion to their Republican vote. This is a question now before the Colleetor. It is said that Frank Raymond may be very nice fellow, indeed, but is not entitled to the vast patronage in the Custom House DOW under, his control, and that the record of the district does not warrant it, Fred Gibbs has always had too many places from the day that Collector Erhardt took up the reins, according to the Hepublicane in trol. People say that Collector Erbardt ed with Mr. Platt on the World's Fair question.

and gave the great proportion of the patronage at his command to the districts, the second. Twenty- third, and the Westchester region, which were favorable to the World's Fair project. FELL IN WITH FOOTPADS. Armbruster Premiere and the Next Thing His Watch was Gone. John Handloy, a recruiting officer stationed at David's Island, was walking in Division street, near Chrystie, at 9 o'clock on Thursday alight when three men rushed up from behind and felled him to the walk.

FIN BORNE TO THE CATHEDRAL Father Sylvester Malone and Father 0'Con. sell -Walk- at the Mend of the The Body to Lie in State In the drai Until 7 O'clock This Morning Thirty -eight years agovon Nov. 9, 1853--0 man in the prime of life, attired in the robes of a Cathollo Bishop, stood at the door of old St.

James's Church in Jay street, Brooklyn. With him were the Most Rev. John Hughes. Arch-, bishop of New York, often called the greatest of American prelatos: Archbishop Bedini, the Pope's nuncio, who some weeks before had consecrated the man first mentioned a Bishop; Bishop Bayley of Newark, who was consecrated with that man, and a large number of priests. Several thousand children and members of Catholic societies had escorted them to the church.

The man was Bishop Loughlin, whom the Pope had made the hend of the newly created diocese of Brooklyn. He was about to be installed. Yesterday hundreds of priests, thousands of children, and a great gathering of laymen escorted that same Bishop to the door of the old church, but, instead of singing the glad "Te Deum," tho priests chanted the mournful office of the dead. and a band playod a funeral dirge. Among the thousands who accompanied the remains as a guard of honor WAS but one man who participated in the ceremonies of thirty-eight years AgO.

He was the Rev. Sylvester lone. the pastor of the Church of 8ta. Peter and Paul. At Bishop Loughlin's installation he celebrated the solemn high mass.

The oecasion of yesterday's great outpouring was the transfer of the Bishop's body from tho episcopal residence in Greene and Clermont avenues, whore he died on Tuesday, to the old 8t. James's Cathedral in Jay street. over which he personally presided for more than thirty-five years, and where his funeral services are to be held to-day. From Wednesday afternoon until yestorday alternoon at least 50.000 persons passed through the room in which the body lay in state. At 2 o'clock afternoon the public were stopped from viewing the remains.

Agcording to tho arrangements, an hour later the body, which was attirod in the robes of a Bishop. was to be taken from the episcopal residence to the old cathedral. When the last of the general publio had looked at the wellknown face the streets in the vicinity of the episcopal residence were thronged with people. The house was Alled with priests and conspicuous Brooklynites. Shortly after o'clock A thousand boys from the Catholio orphan asylums were conducted into tho house and marched past the Bishop's bier.

Then the clergy and the pall bearers of the laity looked on the face. Undertaker Farrell and his assistants then closed tho plain coffin. While these things were being done in the house squad of mounted police formed in front of the Clermont avenue door. They pranced away, and the thousand orphans, in their neat suits with crape tied to the left arm. marched after them.

Then came the trustees of the asylums. When these had passed the door a hearse drawn by two horses came up. People who knew the Bishop well remarked that tho hearse was as simple as WAR the man whose memory the thousands in the streets had assembled to honor. Just as the hearse drew up to the door the lay pall bearers emerged from tho house in twos. Those of the clergy followed them.

In the line of tho clergy the Rev. Sylvester Malone and the Rev. Dr. Joseph P. O'Connell, the pastor of the Church of 8t.

Mary Star of the Sea. one of Bishop Loughlin's closest friends, walked first. Conterno's band formed on the opposite side of the street. When the comn. borne, on the shoulders of four men, appeared in the doorway, the lines of pall bearers divided, thus making a passage for it, and Conterno's band began a funeral dirge.

A boy, carrying, the Bishop's golden crozier, walked the comn. crozier was placed in the hearse with the coffin. A hundred priests of the diocese walked after the pall bearers. They were followed by a carriage in which were Mrs. O' Keeffe, Bishop Loughlin's sister; Mrs.

Grant, his niece; Miss Merrick, another relative. and Miss Thornton, a friend of the family. Conterno's band came after the carriage, and members of Catholic societies and citizens followed. The procession went through Clermont nue. to Lafayette avenue.

to Myrtle avenue. to Jay street, to the cathedral. All along the line members of Catholic societies with budges and banners were ranged at the curb, and back of them stood people who had gathered to view the pageant. From the episcopal rosidenco to the cathedral at least 30,000 people were gathered. As the hearse passed the men removed their hats.

The Catholic societies fell in line as the end of the procession came up to them. At many points along the line mourning emblems were displayed. Shortly before 4 o'clock the enthedral was reached. The venerable edifice was almost hidden in black. and the old house across the street which the Bishop lived for thirty-flve years was also covered with black.

The comp was borne up the middle aisle and placed on a catafalque covered with black cloth. that stood at the head of the aisle. near the altar. Over the cutafalque was spread a canopy of purple. The coffin was uncovered, and the relatives, the clorgy, the pall bearers, and as many of the members of the socioties as could crowded into the venerable edifleo.

Emblems of mourning were everywhere in the church. The altar was covered with black. On the Bishop's throne at the right of the sanctuary was an open book of white roses, and at the right of the throne stood a large cross of smilax. The clergy. led by Very Rev.

Michael May, pastor of the Church of the Holy chanted the office of the dead. At its conclusion the and look public at was allowed, to enter the cathedral the Bishop's face. Tho was open all night, and a stream of people constantly poured into it.

Bayers of Texas, one of the leading crate on the Appropriation Committee, has propared for prosantation to the House next. Tuesday a bill to repoal certain laws now on the statute books making permanent and indefinito appropriations of the public revenue. Under these permanent appropriations millions of dollars are expended overy year. by the various executive departments, not in conformity with the constant review and sandtion of Onngress, as is the case with all other appropriations, but simply according to the knowledge or ignorance possessed by the Government officials, who apply the money As to the necessities of the objects to which it is Among the long lists of objecta of permanent appropriation which the bill is designed to reduce to the same footing as ordinary appropriations, are the customs service, Supervisors of Federal elections, army and mail transportation over the Paciflo railroads, salaries of retired United States Judges, the steamboat inspection service, the marine hospital service, the expenses of regulating immigration, expense of the shipping service. arming and equipping the militia ofthe various States.

and a large number of claims against the United States Government. Many of these objects of themselves are admittedly proper in every way, but Mr. Sayers's bill is directed not at the objects, but at the principle involved, which has led to dangerous results, and, if not checked, will lead to more. These appropriations, unlike all others, are not subjected year after year to the rigid scrutiny of Congress. but they take care of themselves and cannot bo molested without the concurrent agreement of both Houses of Congress and the Exacutive.

Lest year the sum of the permanent appropriations outsido of the reach of Congress was $147.000.000. Mr. Sayers, speaking of the stances which led him to the bill and to favor its enactment, said: dome of these permanent appropriations, which is proposed by my bill Were last century, and they have run along unintermade 08 long, ARO AS the close of the ruptedly. without change or alteration until now. Outeide the particular clorks in the Treasury who keep these accounts and the immediate beneficiaries of them.

probably not half a dozen men in the entire country dream of the existence of any such authorized drafts upon the publio Treasury. My proposes to repeal. after the flacal year 1803, about 121 different appropriations heretofore known as pormanent, specific, and indefinite, together with a large number of special items for which Congress has from time to time made specie provisions that have been construed to be permanent and continuing. Many of these appropriations are now obsolete, a8 I said, or Inoperative, because the original appropriations have been exhausted. or the have been.

under rulinga of the department. covered into the surplus fund. or because the purposes for which they were made have coused to exist. Expenditures. In fact, are reported to have been made during the fecal years 1888 and 1880 under less than one-half of the whole numbor that the bill will repeal, and in the aggrogato for A little more than $12,500,000 for each of those years.

In addition to these expenditures, however. the bill will repeal two permanent appropriations made by the last Congress, namely, for the payment of the bounty on sugar. undor which the expenditures, actual and estimated. for 1892 are reported at $9.000.000. and the national bank note redemption account.

under which the expenditures for 1802 are estimated at $16,000.000. The real effect of the bill is not to repeal any law for which a permanent appropriation is made, but rather to transform the character of such appropriations from permanent and indefinite to annual and specifio ones. will require in their making the careful scrutiny and review of Congress each year. To this end. section 3 of the bill requiros that annual estimates shall be submitted for the fiscal year 1804, and annually therouftor, upon which Congress may base appropriations for all objects for which the permanent ones are repealed by the ELIZABETH, Jan.

Elizabeth Board of Aldermen for 1802 failed to elect city officers to-night, owing to the fact that the Demooratic slate is broken. The new Council stands: Democrats, 14; Republicans, 0. The Democrats caucused on Wednesday night and fixed up a slate for the ten city officers to bo elected. To-night some of the Democrats refused to stand by the slate, and after Mayor Rankin's annual message was read the Board adjourned until next Thursday night. The trouble is said to be over the offices of Street Commissioner and City Physician.

Some of the Democratio members refuse vote for Patrick McKeon, the caucus nominee and who is now Street Commissioner, while others are angry becauso ex-Alderman Dr. Thomas Torrill was selected for City Physician in place of Dr. James 8. Green, the nephew of ex-Gov. Green.

Dr. Green is the present City Physician, but the caucus threw him overboard. and now his Democratic friends in the Board swear they will not vote for the slated candidate. The Republicans are happy over the turn affairs have taken, and hope by forming a combination with some of the disgruntied Demoorata to complete the organization and get a share of the MAN AND CHILD DRUNK.

Miss Annie Moore from Comaty Cork tonished at Her Cordial Reception, Annie Moore, a red-cheeked, laughing Irish distinction of being the frst immigrant to land at Ellis Island and pass through the spaolous. six-towered building into the land of the hustler.

She came to the Ellis Island dock with 147 othor immigrants, mostly Celtio, 08 the side-wheeler John E. Moore. All arrived on the Guion line steamship Nevada. The moment the side-wheeler hove in sight all the bells and whistles on the island were started going, and the entire population of the island began cheering. The discord was kept up until the little Irish lass stepped ashore.

She found Col. John B. Weter. Commissioner of Immigration; Assistant Commissioner O'Beirne. Chief Mulholland of the Contract Labor Bureau.

C. Manning. Johnny Simpson, and nearly all the other immigration officials welting to receive her. Col. Weber gallantly gave her his arm and escorted her the wide stairway.

Mr. Charlos Ml. formerly private secretary to Beoretary Windom, had the privilege of rogistering Annie. He performed the unfamiliar duty with neatness and despatch. Annie said she was going to her father and mothor at 32 Monroe street.

Col. Weber made a little speech welcoming Annie to America, congratulating her on her luck in being the first immigrant to land on Federal ground, and hoping that sho might make some young Irish American happy. Then the Colonel dazzled Annie by dropping a shining new American eagle into. her paim. She had never seen any American money, and spent the rest of the morning examining it.

She got three cheers just ufter getting the eagle, and blushingly walked aboard the ferrybout Brinokerhoff and came over to the city. Annie's 147 fellow voyagers were tered within fifteen minutes. There were ten registry clerks employed on the sides of ten aisles thirty-two feet long. The work of registering can be done three times as expeditiously as it the Barge Office. After passing through the long aisles.

the immigrants entered two railed enclosures. Those who were coming to this city went directly from one of the enclosures to the ferryboat and those going away from the city waited until the side-wheeler John E.
