THE “sHYSLER” WAR. JUSTICE FLAMMER INAUGURATES A NEW MOVE~ MENT AGAINST THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS’ ORDERS. Tho truce which for the past few days has existed between the Police Justices aud the Board ot Potico Commissioners on the subject of tho latter's orders against sbystering was yesterday set aside by Police Justice Flammer, who recommenced hostilities with all the earnestness that characterized tho first opposition, The new movement was inaugurated at the afternoon sion at the Tombs Police Court, when the magis- trato took his seat and found that the officers bad re- fused to make their complaints to the clerks during the noon recess, Calling up Sergeant Woodruf, Justice Flammer expressed himself as strongly op- posed to the new rules of the Police Boa “This en- ure business” said he, ‘is very silly. It ivterferes with the business of the court and creates endless confusion, It mast be stopped. The clerks of this Court are em- ployed to take ail complaints, and it is my orders that they take them during the recess of the Court, to fa- cilitate ousiness. Between now and to-morrow I will determine on what course to pursue in case of violation of this order.’? This ended the trouble for the time being, but it was evident to ali present that the subject would again be referred to by the magis- trate before the close of court. THR NEW RCL. Shortly aiter four o’clock, tho prisoners baving all been disposed of, Justice Fianmer sent for Sergeant Woodrufl, who promptly responded in person. “Ser- geant,’’ said the magistrate, bave mage up my mind in this matior. Hereatter I will retuse to take {ue com- plaints of all officers who have bad opportunity in my absence to make them to the clerks until after the other business of the court is attended to. In other words, when I take the beach I will give prefer- ence to the complaints which accrue while fam sitting, and let the oflicers who reused to go betore the clerks watt unt L om through, Furthermore, | order that in future no prisouers bo detained during my ab- sence in the prisuners’ pens of tho court room. The Police inust take the responsibility of being sued tor illegal detention.” “I regrei that Your Honor takes thia view,’ re- sponded Sergeant Woodrci!, “Il am anxious to tact late tne court business all in my power, but I must obey the order of the Board, which directs me to recognize the court as open only when the magistrate ig present,” “You may report back to the Commissioners, then,” am glad to sce you dressed like white people.

Bat, as 1 told you, it is too lute im the season to change your present agencies, It is too late to remove the supplies to the piuces you have named. The winter will soon come on, the streains will be frozen up, and, therefore, no movement of supplies can be mave, We wish you to help your people to re- move near the supp.ies, and General Crook witl assist ‘ou todo so, Next spring places can be selected near Yhite River tbat will suit you. And now as to the things you have asked for. You want trunks, over- couts and money. The great council of my nation bas put the money and property for you tu of the Secretary of the Interior.
