FREIGHT PAID. OPEN SATURDAY EVENING TILL 10 O'CLOCK. Italian. Stevedores Would Work 'With Irishmen. Not A SQUAD OF POLICEMEN WAS CALLED TO PREVENT BLOODSHED-AFTER FIVE HOURS THE STRIKERS CAME BACK.

There was a little strike yesterday at the Columbia Stores, at the foot of Atlantic avenue, which would certainly have become troublesome except for the prompt action of the police. The steamer Parkgate is one of the vessels employed in Hirtzel, Feltman Mediterranean service, She came up to her pier on Thursday with a cargo of lemons and oranges from Italian ports. The news of her arrival spread among the Italians living In the Union street colony, and yesterday morning there were more than 100 of them upon the dock looking for work. The Italian 'longshoremen regard Italian fruit work as their exclusive right, and when they found that Thomas Monohan, the stevedore who handles a great deal of the foreign fruit which comes to this port, had employed a number of Irishmen, they were angry. A council of war was held, and then a demand for the dismissal of.

the men was made upon Mr. Monahan. Mr. Monahan promptly refused. This angered the Italians, who began to annoy the men who were working.

Word of the trouble was carried to the Amity street station, and Sergeant McDonald, at the head of a squad of policemen, soon marched down the dock. The Italians grew quiet when they saw the bluecoats, but remained on the dock, scowling at their successful rivals. At 1 P. after the strike had lasted about five- hours, the strikers saw that Monahan was rapidly getting men for the work to do, and there was another consultation. The leaders finally approached the stevedore and said they had "made a mistake." The majority of them were put to work.

CONSOLIDATION. Police Commissioner Parker Dis- cusses Important Problems. HE REVIEWS THE EFFORTS MADE PREVIOUSLY FOB, A GREATER NEW YORK THE DIFFICULTY OF FRAMING A PROPER CHARTER. Police Commissioner Andrew D. Parker of New York yesterday delivered an address on "The Greater New York" before the students of the Packard Business Col lege, at 101 East Twenty-third street.

New York. A large number of visitors attended. Mr. Parker said the movement for the consolidation of New York and. her neighbors has advanced with a warlike movement, going forward ail the time.

The Idea first came up in 1833, when petitions for consolidation were made in New York and Brooklyn. The movement continued to grow strongeR and In 1857 the Metropolitan Police District was established by the Legislature. It Included New York, Kings, Westchester and Richmond counties. But the New York City charter of 1870 abolished the Metropolitan Police, and again established the Municipal Police, which remained in force until 1873, when the Police Department was created. Mr.

Parker added: Now that the consolidation Is In sight, the great question comes as to the formation of a charter for the greater city. Within the municipal district there will be many elements. New York Is perhaps the most curious cosmopolitan city in the world. Brooklyn, on the other hand. Is more quiet and contained, more of a home city.

It has been called the bedroom of New York. When one sees the life flowing to and fro on the Brooklyn Bridge every day, he Is inclined to agree with this definition. We would be surprised if we knew how many of our men of business and finance work In New York and live In Brooklyn. There are two very important questions to be settled. What kind of a council shall be given to the new city? The present Board of Aldermen has.

little power. By degrees the body has been stripped of the powers originally vested in it, because of a distrust of it. Shall Its old powers be restored? Shall we have one house? Shall we have two houses, one elected by districts and one elected at large? Shall the members of one house be unpaid, and the office be made one of honor rather than of profit? The other great question Is one of taxation. York has its system, Brooklyn its system, and other districts their systems. How to reconcile the differences will require much anxious thoughts The common sense system would dictate that the same rate should be levied in every part of the great municipality, all sharing alike lh its expenses and Its blessings.

Commissioner Parker's address received close attention from the young men, and was much enjoyed by them. EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS. THE REV. DR. DIXON TO SPEAK AT COOPER UNION.

COMMENTS. The St. tournament ended Jan. 27. Emanuel Lasker won first prize, winning 11 1-2 games; 5 from Tschlgorin, 4 from Steinitz.

2 1-2 from Pillsbury. He tost 3 1-2 to Pillsbury, 2 to Stelnitz, 1 to Tschlgorin. William Steinitz won second prize, his score being 9 1-2 wins; 5 from Pillsbury, 2 1-2 Tschlgorin, 2 from Lasker. He lost 4 to Lasker, 3 1-2 to Tschlgorin, 1 to Pillsbury. Harry N.

Pillsbury won third prize, with 8 wins; 3 1-2 from Tschlgorin, 3 1-2 from Lasker, 1 from Steinitz. Following is a letter from a special correspondent of the New Orleans "Times-Democrat," which will be read by Brooklyn players with interest. It will be noticed that Pillsbury and Steinitz are probably on their way home now: "St. Petersburg, Jan. 19.

Since writing to you last, your representative, Pillsbury, has lost three additional games, and with them practically all chances of winning the tournament. How it all came about nobody seems to know, and as your countryman would not give any explanation, and had no excuses' to offer, but quietly submitted to his repeated reverses, there are only rumors in the air, and rumor being a very unreliable source of news, I decided not to report all the thousand and one 'on Pillsbury has changed greatly in general appearance of late. Those who have watched him more closely have found that his looks betray some sort of trouble beyond that resulting from his business fiasco with Steinitz. Ir seems to the close observer as though all energy had left him. and while much may- be attributed to his private troubles, there is no doubt whatever that- the climate has been affecting him in -no small degree.

It is a thousand pities that after making such a brilliant start that gave to America the hope of another international triumph, fate should so turn against him. "When he arrived he became at once a prime favorite among those whose pleasure it was to come in contact with him, and though most of the local chess players thought at first that Tschlgorin would surely win the tourney, they soon got over their disappointment at the Russian's many defeats. change of feeling soon developed into a regular Pillsbury worship cultus. You cannot possibly form any idea of the widespread Interest that prevailed among the better class of people at the beginning of the contest. In proof of this I send you a tabulation of a story which the St.

Petersburg "Zeitung." a Germany daily, saw fit to publish. The conversation quoted there might or might not have actually occurred, as the names appearing in the course of it are all assumed, but I have, during the progress of the tournament, attended o'clock teas where similar discussions have taken place. In other the chess tournament has been the event of the season and the one topic of conversation. "After giving the scene of the tea party, the 'Zeitung" calls the story 'Little Indiscretions at a O'clock Tea With Cousin and Introducing the dramatis personae, that paper tackles the subject about as follows: 'Well, Angelica Jegorow-na, said Councilor Stern, Tschlgorin has lost again. You may congratulate These two, the speaker and the lady addressed, had made a trifling bet, Stern from patriotism and because his chief in the Government office, where he Is employed, did so, too, backed Tschigdrin.

reer is a personal joy and pleasure to To be candid, I am now real sorry for said Angelica, at the same time putting four lumps of sugar in Stern's cup. 'So am put in Miss Holznapf. Tt must be awful to lose one's reputation as a master chess player. What may be the reason for all this?" 'Councilor Jwanero, the chief of our department, a man- who understands a lot about chess he is in possession of a beautiful set -of ivory chessmen tells me that in consequence of the unpleasantness between the chess club and the Novoe Vramya on the one side, and the other players on the other, Tchigorln has become nervous and he is suffering from a regular 'Yes. What a pity.

I have thought that he might be under a spell of added Miss Holznapf. mistaking Pillsbury for a Briton, 'are so awfully cunning, you 'I have been broke in Wronezitownoz, 'that Tschlgorin Is suffering from a stomach ache ever since be returned from Hastlnga' "Stern Inoked at the Colonel, Angelica at her Fritz, and the latter, who had been a silent listener throughout, made up hia mind to clear the situation as follows: 'According to my opinion this shock anc nervousness on Tsichigorm's part are-caused by superstition. All chess players are superstitious, and our Russian master is no exception. He has lost all confidence in himself, and he fears that his misfortune is the unavoidable outcome of an aecoTsed accursed deed? Please tell us all interrupted Angelica. 'He has made a deal with Sauworln, the editor of the "Novoe Vremya." to the effect that the scores of the games played In this tournament should only appear In that paper.

This deal, and the high-handed action of the "Vremya" has greatly provoked the other papers, who, in turn, and as a matter of course, have been and are daily abusing Tschigorln. He lost the sympathies of the people, nobody feels sorry for him, and they are rather glad that the tournament has been a failure, a nuisance to the club, its members, to the oompetitors and all who at first were deeply interested. "So far the "Zeitung" is not far off the mark, but the good people here would not have troubled much abjut Tschigorin's failure had your countryman even came up to expectations. As I have written to you repeatedly, he has been backed to an enormous extent. At the time of writing there is little chance of having a similar tournament arranged at Warsaw, inasmuch as both Steinitz and Pillsbury have decided upon going home the day after the final games are played.

If the thousand roubles which an enthusiastic Warsaw chess devotee offered for prizes are scarcely sufficient, and as there are little prospects, if any, to have this sum increased, the scheme will in all probability fall through. Neither am I able to give your readers further particulars, concerning the Paris business, as nothing has as yet been disclosed." The scores In the championship tournament at the Brooklyn C. C. to date, are: Per won. Lost-cent.

FROM HIS OFFICE STAFF CITY WORKS COMMISSIONER WHITE GETS A PRESENT. The immediate office staff of City Works Commissioner White, who retired from the department yesterday, preeented him with a beautiful palm in a jardiniere and the following address: "The subordinates in your office ask your acceptance of the accompanying plant as a token of affectionate regard. We are proud to have been associated with you in an administration that has been like the clear shining of the sun, and In which you have so related yourself to every phase of the -business of the department that the results achieved have been largely the expression of yourself. A marvelous mental celerity, a high order of intelligence, a thorough business and sci entific education, a vigorous physique, a conscientious devotion to the duties assumed, all have had free course in the conducting of the affairs of this great department. The outcome has been an unmatched administration and the largest public advantage.

"We take pleasure In saying that we have highly appreciated the attitude of justice and courtesy which you have always maintained toward your subordinates, and, on this last day of your term of service.

TlOSE ON APPROPRIATIONS FARTHER ADVANCED THAN EVER BEFORE AT THE OPENING OF FEBRUARY THOSE ON AGRICULTURE AND THE NAVT TO BE TAKEN UP NEXT WEEK MUCH MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS REQUIRING ATTENTION. (Special to Tba Standard Union.) Washington, D. Feb.

1. Congressional matters are becoming so shaped that the early adjournment which the Republicans think desirable, appears more probable. Che passage of the Free Silver bill by the Senate to-day will make way for other legislation. This will practically end the financial legislation for this session, except wherein some provision for emergency notes to cover Treasury deficiencies may be made In an appropriation MIL The urgent Deficiency bill has already been reported to the Senate, and will probably be disposed of on Monday. The Senate Committee on Appropriations has almost finished with the pension, military academy and diplomatic aad consular bills, which the House has already passed.

These appropriation bills will be reported to the Senate by Tuesday, and it Is the expectation of Senator Allison, chairman of the Appropriation Committee, that they can be disposed of by the coming week. It is the purpose of the Senate to hurry the appropriation bills through as fast as they come from the House. The Agricultural bill and the Army bill have already been reported to the House, and will be taken up during the coming week. The Committee on Naval Affairs has almost completed that measure, and will report it early in the week. Never before have the appropriation bills been as far advanced with the opening of February, and seldom even in the short session of Congress, has so much work been accomplished with the appropriation bills, certainly not in recent years.

The Tariff bill will be, In all probability, reported favorably from the Finance Committee on Tuesday, and be brought before the Senate immediately. It should not require more than a month for its consideration, though It will have to give way from time to time to the appropriation bills. There is a considerable amount of miscellaneous business which both Houses will have to attend to, but this can be disposed of quickly. It is thus apparent how well-founded is the hopes for an early adjournment. Yesterday's Treasury receipts amounted to the expenditures were $642,830.

This made the deficit for the day $621,207.56. As January is always a large importation month, merchants bringing goods for the spring trade, the receipts for the month, which ended yesterday, were $29,237,670.21. Of this, came from customs an increase of $4,200,000 over December, which is always a small importation month from internal revenue a decrease of $1,700,000 from December and of $1,815,472.59 from miscellaneous sources an increase of about $450,000 over December. The total expenditures for the month of January amounted to $32,696,830, an increase of $6,000,000, and four hundred odd thousand over -December, most of which came from the Interest account, which for December aggregated only and for January, $7,195,300. Civil and miscellaneous expenditures were greater, while those for the war, navy, Indians, and pensions, were several millions smaller.

December last showed a forced surplus of $541,605.56, while Jan-nary closes with an immense deficit of $3,459,159.79. This makes the deficit for the first seven months of the fiscal year, $18,853,866.84, and for the thirty-five months of the Cleveland Administration, $130,756,346.65. and yet the President insists that no more revenue is required. The Treasury, however, has an immediately- available cash balance, exclusive of the gold reserve, fractional silver coin, fractional currency, minor coin and bonds and interest paid of $106,293,743.99. The Treasury gold reserve suffered a loss yesterday of $661,400, of which half a tnlllon was for export to South America.

This reduces the gold reserve to a few thousand more than forty-nine million. Fortunately, the Treasury will soon commence to have the reserve replenished from receipts from the new bond issue. It is the policy of the leaders of the House to keep the appropriations down. Thin is always difficult when there Is a strong demand for liberal aproprlatlons. This is particularly the case at the present time when there is a concerted effort to secure appropriations for internal improvements that are projected or under way.

A member of the Rivers and Harbors Committeee said to-day that he thought it, probable that the committee would consider liberal appropriations for such Improvements. He thought that it was false economy to permit improvements that had already began to become practically useless, because of a lack of funds to complete them. Whether Mr. Reed's opposition to such appropriations will be effective or not. Is a question.

There will at least be a determinecffight to dtf something for the waterways, particularly those on which tangible results nave been accomplished. The substitute for the House Bond bill, which provides for the free coinage of silver, will pass the Senate to-day at 2 o'clock. Several motions looking to defeat it will be made prior to that time, and all be voted down. There Is some question as to what will be the majority for the bill. It will range from two to five.

There are several men who favor silver who feel that It is undesirable to pass this bill, but they will be probably pushed into line. The anti-free silver men expect that Mc-Bride of Washington and Baker of Kansas will vote against the measures, while some bank on the opposition of Wilson of Washington. The free silver men threaten that in case there are any moderate silver men voting against the measure, they will have their revenge by endeavoring to impose a free silver amendment on the Tariff bill. This threat may deter those silver men who are not in love with this measure from voting against it. Its.

passage is a foregone conclusion though, and should not cause apprehension, because that will be all that silver will get out of this Congress. It is Impossible to state at this writing how soon a vote can be secured on the Dupont case. The favorable report; from the Committee on Privileges and Elections helps Dupont considerably. The written reports of the majority and the minority will be filed on Monday. An effort will be made to bring the case before the Senate by the close of the coming week.

It will necessarily require considerable time for debate. Dupont will probably be seated, though the opposition of free silver men to added honest money strength may hurt bim. PALMER BEATEN AGAIN. Justice Osborne denied the application of Controller Palmer for a new trial in the action brov.ght against him by Robert Crummey, for back salary and reinstatement as clerk in the Controller's office. The action was tried before Justice Osborne, and the Jury returned a verdict in Mr.

Crummey's favor. A NEW FIRM OF LAWYERS. Two bright young lawyers, Delancey F. Nichols and B. F.

Chadsey, have formed a Knew law firm, under the name of Nchols Chadsey, and have taken offices in' the Of-mania Savings Bank Building. Each ov ie gentlemen is recognized as energet earned and skillful in the practice of Ihw, and their many friends predict them a successful career in their field. THEY MOST CATCH STEAMERS. SAILING VESSELS HAVE HAD THEIR DAY STEAM PILOT BOATS TO BE EMPLOYED WHOLLY LIMITS OF THE CRUISING GROUND GREATLY REDUCED ADVANTAGES OF THE NEW SYSTEM. "This is an age of steam and electricity; and you've got to, put on steam to keep up with it," said one of a group of pilots to a Standard Union who bore down upon them to chat about the changes in progress In the pilot system of the port of New York.

-t There are sixteen fine hoata. lying in Erie Basin, which will cheap. Until recently they have, been skimming the seas outside the harbor, cruising1 from Sandy Hook to Sable Island -on the east- ward, and as far as to rs Cape Ha tt eras, southward, looking for inward bound ves-' sels, upon which to place pilots. Staunchly built craft, and swift sailers, theiy have contributed to the picturesqueness ox ocean views while fulfilling a mission of usefulness from which they have been withdrawn forever. They composed a large proportion of the fleet of twenty-eight New York boats and nine New Jersey boats engaged In pilotage on this, part of the coast.

Hereafter the most if them will serve the purposes of the fisherman or the coaster, though some of the better ones may be devoted to the less- wearing work of pleasure cruising. A portion of the fleet remains" lh ''eom-miEsion, but it is the smaller proportion and the boats comprised in it will survive the others in their present career only a short time. Steam drove- the others off the cruising One stepmer stationed at the bar rendered their presence superfluous. With the aid of this steamer the remaining boats are able to cover the cruising ground effectively, for the new system has contracted the limits, and the pilots no longer sail nine hundred miles or so to find a job. Now they do not go beyond a line drawn from Fire Island to Barnegat, which gives them only about one hundred miles to cover.

"What is the effect of one of the pilots said," repeating the reporter's tion. "Well, one 6r toe effects- of it is that we don't have, to so much time. We don't have to go so far; nor have so much uncertainty; nor have to spend so much time on ships "when we are not wanted until they get nearer to the land. Why it got so that some of the pilots hardly made a living. The new system evens things up more.

The old one was behind the times anyway. Sailing vessels are things of the past, and for pilot service they ire no good at ali, any -longer." In reply to an inquiry as to now many mercantile craft come into the port of New York under sail during season none of the pilots In the group could tell, but they said that this class of shipping was no good to them in their business. It is to the steamships. passenger and freight, that they look for the profit of their calling, and to catch the "steamers, they said, steamers will have to be employed. The white-winged boats, have to go, and will be replaced ere long by a fleet of swift steam cruisers.

"The new system is satisfactory to the sea captains, I suppose," the reporter suggested interrogatively. "Yes, and in several ways," was the reply. "The captains of these b'g steamers don't want to pick up their pilits away out to sea. They have no ue for them out there, and although they them on board, the pilots are only passengers, after all, "-rl h0 un Bvt-p-tlmes there is no accommodation for them. Besides any caotain would rather have a pilot who is only a day nr two out of port, and who would be more likely to know of recent.lv sunken otci' or derelicts.

-Another thi-g which mke the captains satisfied. Js tint they, will not be in feir of running down ana sinking 4a pilot boat now and then, as might happen when. so. many are cruising about. As to th- p'lct.

he goes on duty as soon as he gets on and -of course, he has a bptter chinee to do anfHr-ipnt work to srive him a livine." I "Where- is the next generation of pilots (to come from?" the reporter The pilots did not eomprenena tnis question. "I mean how are men to be trained in practical seamanship and furnished with other qualifications for performing the duties of pilots?" The pilots laughed at this )andlubbrly question, and one of them repH'ea "They're going to be trained jUJrt the same as they always were. all. the boats were in commission one apprentice was allowed to each boat- Now there are three. When we get the steamers the number of aoprentlees will be the same as ever, only there will be more than three to each boat.

That will depend upon how may steam cruising have," None of the boats in Erie Basin has yet been sold.
