Captains, and Tells Them:the Dives and Gambling-Houses Must Be Gated at Orice OFFICIALS EVIDENTLY WORRIED WHEN THE CONFERENCE ENDS. Col. M’Clellan Will Not Discuss What Was Said, but He Clearly Intimates That His ve "Instructions Were to Clean Up the Town! and See That the Law Is Strictly Obeyed. | Mayor McClellan gave the “lid” an additional screwing down to-day.’ He summoned Commissioner McAdoo, First Deputy Commissioner Mee; seseesossonroesetes, soeeetee Avoy, Inspector Elbert O. Smith and Capts. McNally and McGlynn, of ; the East One Hundred and Twenty-sixih and West One Hundred and| Twenty-fifth street stations, to the City Hall. They remained closeted with the Mayor for fully an hour. During the interview with the police officials the Mayor expressed | himself in emphatic terms, declaring that he would not tolerate the oper-| ation of gambling places, pool-rooms or dives in Harlem or any other section of the city. , He .plainly announced that the law must be observed to the se against all places running illegally. It is understood that the Mayor closely questioned the precinct commanders as well as Inspector Smith. He also notified Deputy Commissioner McAvoy that there must be no dis¢rimina« tion in the matter of seeing that the law is fully enforced, and that-if cet- tain places in his district are operating In violation of the law they must | be proceeded against at once, or as soon as the adequate evidence is obtained. When the police officials left after thelr conference with the Mayor they appeared as if the Mayor's little talk had not been wholly pleasant. They referred the reporters to “His Honor,” refusing to be interviewed, When Mayor McClellan was asked the purport of the summons sent to Police Headquarters he smiled, then indicated by a corkscrew movement of his right arm that he had been tightening down the lid. “Serewing down the !id, Mr. Mayor?” “Well, I guess it won't stand much more screwing down. It may take one or two more twists, but won't stand much more,” the Mayor said: He declined to relate what had happened at the conference, simply say- “The lid will be a Nttle tighter now.” Police Commissioner McAdoo startled the Police Department to-day by sending twenty-two detective-sergeants who have been doing duty at Police! Headquarters’ to do patrol duty in the police precincts. The men were selected without favor, and sergeants who have been in easy berths in Mul- erry street for years—men who have the backing of Tammany leaders, who have been in high tavor with former administrations—were assigned to station-houses to do work that has heretofore been done hy patrolmen. The transferred men will continue to draw the pay of detective-ser- geants—$7,000 a year—but they will be shorn of authority, except that al- lowed the precinct patrolmen, Commissioner McAdoo explained that the wholesale transfers were made to-day because the three-platoon system which went into effect at 8| A. M, to-day would require more men for patrol duty. In making his selec- tions the Comm‘sgioner was guided, so !t is said, by Inspector | ‘McClusky, who, 80 it is declared, has the Commissioner's ear on all subjects pertaining to the work of the department. VIRTUOUS COP SHIFTED, TOU. Alphonse Rheume, who recently refused a bribe of $10,000 In cash to let a prisoner slip through his hands, will go to Eldridge street. Rheume was asked to arrest the man, who was a Boston defaulter. He found him on a New York Central train and told him he was under arrest. The man drew $10,000 from his pocket and thrust it into the detective’s hand. Rheume returned the money and took his prisoner to Headquarters, Harvey Ware, Devery’s right bower for a time, will go to the West Twentieth street station; Milmore to Delancey street, Con Sullivan to West Twentieth street, Charles Farley to Hast Thirty-fifth street, c, Sheehan to West_Forty-seventh street, F.

M.—The Czar has received a telegram from Admiral Alexieff, the contents of which he intends to’ make public to-night. It is believed that the telegram brings news of a tremendous battle to-day at Port Arthur. } No information can be obtained in advance of the nature of the news. that has been sent to the Czar by Alexieff. That it relates to a new al- tack upon Port Arthur by the Japanese there is scarcely any doubt. The military and naval authorities have been looking for reports of a great battle all day. It is Known to the Russians that the Jap>nese det termined upon this date for making a desperate effort to carry Port Arthur. Thé mea in the — fort and on the ships were ready for them and it is expected that the re- port will tell of one of the greatest land and sea battles of modern times. The report printed in the London Telegraph in a despatch from Yine Kow telling of an assault by ihe Japanese yesterday is offizially denied, NO ATTACK SINCE FEB. 26. A despatch from Mukden says that the Japanese have not attacked Port Arthur since Feb. 26. This despatch is dated yesterday. ‘ There is a fleet of transporis with the Japanese war vessels, which indicates that the Japanese have hopes of reducing the fort and landing Special orders have been sent to the garrison to make a desperate men. istance. Reports that the supply of food in Port Arthur is short are denied 7 Supplies have been stored here tor months in anticipation of just what has come to pass. There are few civilians in Port Arthur and the problem of sustenance is almost entirely of « military nature, So long as railroad communication with Harbin can be kept open the force at Port Arthur has nothing to fear from a scarcity of provisions. , Advices from Mukden and Harbin are that the troops are in excellent health and spirits and anxious for a fight. The arrivals from Russia are in gocd shape alter their long voys ss Siberia, TORPEDO BOAT PIERCED, BUT SAVED. News has been received of the torpedo boat that was cut off at the Japanese attack on Port Arthur on Feb, 26, She passed through the | concentrated fire of the Japanese cruisers and was struck many times, one the damage and steamed back to Port Arthur when the Japanese retired. Whatever advices the Government has received frem Vladivostok in the past few days have been kept secret, except that it has been announced that the harbor is frozen and that the gigantic ice breaker has scarcely been able fo keep the channel clear, The Japanese were caught tr ing to Dlow up an important dock at [Nia jivostok. What happened to them has not been made pu Considers anxiety felt as to the outcome of the attack upon Port Arthur, which may be in progress now. Reports have been received | {here ot the disablement of Japanese warships, but it is believed that the | Japanese will be able to attack in much superior force, and that so jar as not hold out much hope, But the forts are in good condition and terrific | damage will be inflicted on the attacking fleet should the Japanese force | attempt to enter the narrow’mouth of the harbor under the guns of the commanding hills ON LAKE BAIKAL, ch 1.—The first complete train traversed Lake 11 o'clock this morning.
