Frrtter Eforts Hade fo Demozaiize “the Police, Kickke and Sheridan loined by Hickey, "Gund, and Frénch The Captains, of Course, Are Opposed to Efficiency. \Vashbzrn Ordered to Rescind His Twelve-Hour Order. Tao Polico Commissioners held snother meet- fng yesterday aftornoon, thd Captains of Police Faving been summoned to attend and express thicir views of tho twelve-bour order, and {cll of iss effect npon the men s CAPTAIN HICKEY v first interrogated. Ho thought the new sys- tom Lind been {ricd long enough to dstermine whetber it was practicable. Ho had conversed with Lis men, and thoy complained of tho long hours. From his expericnce, hie had concludod thot & short term of servico caused increased eotivity; ihat s patrolman would do better pervice if on duty four hours instead of eix, and if on ebx, much better service than if on twelve hours. Tho men wera fagged out by long service, Ha did nat consider tho force as ofi- ciont 23 nndér tho old systom. The men were apaninions in condemnation of the order. Commmissioner Sheridan askod if the city was potter protected by the division of the men into threo plotoons—were there 2s many men at all times now upon tho streets as formerly? Captsin Hickey replicd that thore wers more 1men on doty pow Dotween 8 p. m. and da.m.; Eomight be projudiced, beesusohe had worked | golong with two platoons. He considered the 01 syeiom, itii was properly worked, much the best. Ithad mot beon properly worked, how- over; nnderit thomen would bo more active. There were 29 beats nnder the old systom in the First Preciuct; now there were 17. - The police- ez did not consider themselves responsible for whst occurred, shifting it to one another, saying ¢it &dn't neppon on my portion of the beat,” . ete, Under the old system no oIt ozéuzs could bs made. The city lost an kour oh each man under the present order; under the old one, lost no time. N Commissioner Sheridan asked if it was nof preferablo to .ha7o short beats well patrolled thian Iarge boats half patrolled ? 3 Captain Hickey said it certeinly was. The old gyatom fresmuch’ superior, if the men were re- qgnired to lis up to tho rules and regulations. Commissioner_ Klokke thoaght the, Board could compot hé men to live up to tha rules. Ceptsin Hickey remarked that the Board could compel them if thoy (the Boatd) did their duty— punisied the men whén brought up for infrac- tions, and not ‘excuse them: i © - CAPTAINGUSD £2id he entectained the sanie views as Captain Hickey. The old rule worked woll ; hismen complainéd of the long hours, and the short timo allowsd for menls. o = Commisaioner Kiokke inguired if the men srere doing their duty as well. Captain Gard thought they were doing as'well &3 they could, but not as well as under the short- hour system. There were formerly twenty beats in the Sixth Precinct, now there were nine. - The men had to travel much further, and be- came fatigued. = P o Commissioner Klokke desired to know which syatem was the best for the interest of the city. Ceptain Gund considered the old one more ‘beneficial, a3 the men got their meals before they went on duty. They conld not go home aad eat. within an hour. He thought twelve hiours’ duty would injure sny onc’s health, and * that the men would break down. i CAPTAIN FRENCH. eaid he had only forty beats now, to seventy-four muder the old system. His men .complained atont thp hours and their grub. There wers no streot cars or omnibuses at 4 in the morning, and. thoy lind to walk_home, which many of them fom% notdo snd got back within the hour al- oved. i - Commissioner Klokko ssked if hismen yoroas ofiicient 28 formerly. .Captein French 44 nct believe they were; they did not take a8 much interest or pride in the work 25 thoy formerly did. President Ieno asked if the men were demor- glized before they commenced travelling twelve hours; had any outside purtios been stiring them up? > Captain Fronch did not know of anything be- {ng said to them. In his opinion the systemhad been given a fair trial withont prejudice. Presiaent Reno wanted to%know what its effect would be ; woro tho good men going avay, or was hio going to gel rid of the poorest dead-beats, or of any &t all. % : Captain French said o number of excellent men bad assertod tbat thoy would resign, Others who had been on tho force a long time, ond wore' useleas, wonld remain as long as_they could, no matter what kind of hours were kept. They ehirked duty, aud hours, long or ehort, mado no difference to ibem. Thoy wore old, £nd unable to travel much anyhiow. THE INCOMPETENTS. 5 Prosidont Reno,_ thought thera ought to ‘bo om0 way to get xid of incompetent policemen. Comueizsioner Sheridan talkod with sev- members of the Legislature, and they comed inclined to create a fund to pay men ro- tired -after honorable and long-continued ser- ico. Prosident Reno remarked thet they should be ‘peid so much down, after so many yoars of ser- ¥ice, for slgn'ng. Commiszioner Sheridan seid it was hardly fair to discharge & man who had been sbused and elot by roughs, and rendered incapable of earn- ing hie living outeido of the force. They should be employed 28_janitors nt the station houses, n&d ;éi‘}"en- work that required little physi strength. Captain Hickey remarked that in Now York docropid policemen wore cmployed 2a bailiffs in tho Polico Courta. Commissioner Klokke nsked why that conld ot be done in Chicago. Thera wero s number of places where such men could be made nseful. e Ceptaina were asked if they had bad any conference with the Superintendent in regard to the order. They replied No.” THE SUPERINTEDEENT INTERROGATED. Commissioner Sheridan ssked Saperintendent “Washbura if ho had anything to ny. * ‘Tho Superintendent said he had not. He did not think it was necessary to say anything in ad- Gition to what he hod previously said to tho Commissioners, He_had given the new. system much thought, had advised with others, and was Grmly convinced of the ufility of the order. Time strengthened Ius conviction. . : Commirsionor Sheridan askedif he regarded the divisicn of the city into fewer beats a better errangement than the old one. : ‘Tho Superintendent could not see what differ- ence the n of the beats mede a3 long as thers wero additional men on duty. Commissioner Sheridsn thought cgntfing two 1men tozether was a protection to each other, and Dot £o tho city. The Saperintendent had not ordered two men to travel together. He did not approve ‘of it, ~and (hero wes no mecessity for it. They were potput upon the same beats. The beats were ‘cat in half betweon 8 o'clock in the evening and #in the morning, and one man travelled oo half &xd tho other the remaining Lall, Commissioner Sheridan 2sked if the thirty- four men dotailed as roundsnien were not taken ats. # The Superintendent eaid they were not, as they patrolled all the time. They had no speci- £i=d {erritory, the ground covered by their toon being their beat. number of mien had 2070 to do with protection than the division of ko city into beats. Thera were but 425 men, 2.d the best that éould bo done with them was al! the citizens could expect. e FRENCH'S PLAN, Commiesioner Klokke thought a plan should o devised which would work well for the ity 2nd for the mon. He wished to submit a plaa which kad been prepared by Captain French. It seemed to him £o bs feasible. Under it, the Zirst platoon, induding beats and posts, wounld £0 on at 7 o m., and remain until 7 p. m., dilowing on hbour and & - halt for ner, the first section going to dinner at 11, returning at 12:30, the second going st 12:3) znd returning at 2. On their return to the sta- tion, £4.7 p. m., tho first section to go to supper ‘| he looked to Commissioner Sheridan for aj . great and return at 8:20, and slecping in tho statisn as reserves, in caso of emergoncy, the eecond sec- tion to go home. Tho second platoon 1o relievo the first platoon st 7 p. m. and stay ot until 4 a. m;, and have until 6 p. m.,—thoy to_attend Police Conrt,ns witnesses, if necessary. The third platoon to go on at 10 p. m. and stay until 7 3. m., being ‘off evory other day in_exchange with_tho second platoon, the second tobo of ono dey and the third thonext, Captain -Gand would not give his opimion of tho plan until he had scen it tried. Captain French eaid it would enable the men to get their meals. Tho platoons lupped ovor during the night. Intheday time tio. peoplo must protect shemselves; In the' night they Tooked o tho police fore. Captain Gund thonght tho hours in the pro- posed plan were too long nlso. i Ceptain French said he was in_favor of retain- izig tlio old hioars at tho threa principal stations, That kystem, however, would not work woll at tho sub-stations, on cccount of the smallnumber ofmon. ¢ Captain Hickey thought if tho Council would put on sevents-five moro men, the old systom. would work to perfection, even ' st the sub-sta~ tions. More men were needed. If amsn trav- aled gix hours, he wasn't worth shueks the next six; was feobloand tweak, and conldn't club & prisoner. In summer twelve hours would Lave & worae effoct than in winter. The Cepfains wero then told {0 go, and the three Commissioners put their heads togother to talk the matter over. ‘ WHAT CAME OF IT. Ag 500n 25 tho room was cleared of tho ropre- sentatives of the press, tho Commissioners sent for Suporintondent Washburn, hoping and be- Tieving that no ono was near econgh to overhear what wes done. _Commissioner Kieno told tho Buperintendont that tho Board had_considered tho order, and had voted upon it. It waaz de- cision of a majovity of tho DBoard (and tho ‘stress b laid on the word majority ” was cloarly percoptible) that the ordor knowT s the “iPwelve-hour order” was not inclined to work well, and must bo rescinded. Helad no iden of giving the Superintondont orders to roscind it &t onco. Homight take his time about it (here roval), and so manage it that no notice would Be takon of it. The peoss had beon excluded from the meeting, and would know nothing at all abont the order, and ho could thus escape any ridiculs on tho sabject. i ommiesioner Sheridan, who had waited with impatience an o;;?nxtnm'ty to speak, here dis- sented from Ar. Keno's suggestion about taking time over tho order. -Henow icsisted with muc ompbasis that the chango be meda at_once, and in this ho was backed up by Mr. Klokke, who thought that no timo was to be lost. - "Plig President then reed tho following order, passed by Commissioners Reno and Klokke in Opposition to his wishes + Tho Board of Police instruct the Buperintendent of Polica to e to 1t that tho publiched regulations of 11:0 Board zelativo o patrol duty, 55 contained in the ook of rules end regulations, be kirictly enforcad from tlis duto honceforth until the further order of tho Board. = WHAT SR, WASHBUEN SATE. ‘This matter disposed of, the reporters pro- ceeded to interview the Superinteudont as_to his opinion of the pressnt ugfict of aifsirs. Mr. ‘Washburn wag as discreet in his observations as usual, end quictly declined to suy anything like- Iy to’ be-misinterproted. Tho reporters agked ’him what he thought of the action of the Board in virtnally rescinding his order. Ho roplied 28 follows, and his statomont is commendad to anhmfamons as have confidence in the present oard : “ Gentlemen, I solemnly swear to you that, before Tissued the order which Lios created 50 much discusgion, 1 submitted it to the Board and oxplained the system to them. . Theypeither committod themselves to it nor opposed it, hut merely laid it on one gido.” The reportors asked Mr. Washbun what gonso Lo intendod to pursus, but hia rospoase Deing that _he was not at Libarty to_ssy, noth- ing as to his fature movaments was loarned. THE ST. LOUIS SYSTEXL While the reporters were intorviowing Mr. ‘Washburn, & despatch was handed {o him, which Be read and handed fo tho reportors.

Shopping in Paris., Tho shop-keopers of Paris st tho prosent day ‘seem to take o Dleasuro in charging a foreigner double what they would ask one of their own countrymen-or women. An instance of this came under my notico not 8 month go. Two Indies—one an American, the other g, French- woman, were walking ‘down the Kto Saint Fonore, when the formor saw in the window of & most respectable shop o siraw hat which gho thought she would-like for one of her chil- dron. Bhe went in and asked the price, and the shop woman ssked her sisteen francs, about thirteen-and-sixpence, for an article she could have bought at any West End shop in London for abont throe-snd-sixpence or four ehillings. Americans are_not much given to finding anything too desr in Paris, péople Bn that most of them would rather psysa higl than® low price for what they want, but soman- ifest an etiempt at imposition was too much for her; ghe lmd down tho .hat and joined her iriend, who waited outside. The latter agked why sho had not_bought the hat. When told the reason, sho said she feared she did not know -how to drivo » baggain in France, and, if she would say how much’she would give for the article, sho (tho French lady) would try and get it for Lier at that price. The American lady eaid that the utmost she would pay for it was eix franco—fivo ehillings, The French lady ontered tho ehop alonc, asked the prico, and was told that it was nine francs instead of sixteen, as had been demended of her friend. Bhe said that was too much, and offered six francs, whereupon thearti- clewss pnt up in papor and handod over to her. She then taxed the shop womsn with having at- tempted to im;;ase Gpon aatranger, but the other was not in the least ashamed of herself. .‘‘}fon Dion, madame, les otrengers sont toujoura tres Tiches, ot los alfaires o Paris sont ai mauvnises & present,” was all tho satisfaction she could get ount of this- pleasant specimen of a Parisian tradeswoman.

Shaler, upon the authority of Captain John Peaso, ans 0ld an observant whale- fishor, writes as follows in tho January number, of the dmerican Naluralist, concerning the froquent struggles betsween ‘tho male sperm whales: “Tlo conflicts between the males of sperm whales cause groat damago to tholower jaw the avidence goad to show that at leaut two per cent, aro crooked more or less, and onein several han- dred vory badly bout by these struggles. Thero are two specimens iu the smell museum at Nan- tucket which are mingularly contorted ; one of them is bent laterally into'ons tarn of a spiral, Captain Pease tells me that he foand one'that was bent sideways at right angles to_tho proper position and Nrmly fived there, seoming to be f:nmmgn(ly fastened in this singular position. fighting, tho malos rush st each other with open jaws and strike in passing. Tho great speod and power of these massive creatures must lead to tho most serious results from. such col- lisions. Captain Pease once found o sperm whale nearly dead on the wator, Wity the lower. jow hanging by s singlo band of ligument s fow inclios through. Sharks and crustacesns wore devouring the croature, but the wrench which had crippled him must have come from ono of his own kind.” - In'tho seme articls Profossor Shaler mentions & fact which, if it can be proved, mey crtainly becomo strong argument for the Darwinists, Itis safollows: “The Captain is convinced that the right whaie hes's traco_of hair within the skin. Ho Saya that when the skin is frech, if it be scraped witlk s knifaso 28 to remove the superficial parts, thero will then be seen n trace of hair in the innor section. * This point is worthy of attention from thoso naturalists who have oppertunitics for such worle. 1Itis ovident that is the descondnnt of some land mammal form, it wonld Jikely to preserve a trace of the hairy cov- ering. Inthis conncction it is intoresting to _noto that, in the museum &t Nantucket, there is & tooth of a sporm whale with two fangs after tho fashion of au ordinary mammelian canine. Tho specimen was taken many years ago, but with it is the statement that the othor tceth of the whalowere of the same fashion. This clearly .looks liko o reversion to some higher mam- ian form of dentition.” - Georgia is loaing mnch population by white emigrants to Toxaa and colored omigrants to orids. FURNITURE.
