TheBe were: First, the resignation of

At the conclusion of these private in

Already tne strikers are returning to
work. An official statement issued this
evening reports that more than a third
of the strikers resumed work In Paris to
day. All branches of the service, with
the aid of the military, are beginning to
assume sometning like normal conditions.

The publication In today's Official Jour
nal of a lengthy circular addressed to M.
fcimyan and the postal chiefs, minutely
instructing them as to the manner of
applying the promotion system recently
inaugurated, is evidence of the fact that
the government has no intention of
abolishing the system, which was repug
nant to the men. The circular states that
the object- is to remedy the widely vary

employes for promotion which has caused
most regrettable jealousies among the

;;
HANDICAP IS GREAT
Petrosino's Would-be Avengers
Work Against Odds.
NO PROGRESS YET MADE
Immediate Cause of Heath Was
Work in Connection With Secret
Bureau Performed Many Not
able Acts During His Career.
NEW YORK. March 21. Police head
quarters here have received no advices
to the effect that any progress has been
made m tracing the slayers of Lieuten
ant Pjtrosino by the Italian police. It
Is known that every means known to the
authorities Is being used to ferret out
the perpetrators of the crime, but it is
felt that so strong Is the organization of
the Italian secret criminal societies and
so great the terror they Inspire that It
Is somewhat doubtful If the murderers
can be apprehended.
An additional cause for despondency is
the fact that the dead lieutenant was so
very active In bringing to justice Italian
malefactors both in this and in other
countries. The hatred he inspired, the
police believe here, will act as a motive
for tinusual precautions on the part of
those connected with the murder.
Secret Work Caused Heath.
The work which led to the death of
Petroslno was the formation of a secret
bureau for the New York police force.
Prominent New Yorkers, following the
refusal of the Board of Aldermen to ap
propriate money for the establishment of
secret police, had subscribed a fund
for that purpose. The preliminary work
had been Intrusted by Police Commis
sioner Bingham to Petroslno, and he had
been sent abroad. This work essentially
led him into Instant conflict with out
laws of the Old World, with a thorough
organization behind them.
Petroslno had gone to Palermo, where
police officials have an effective system
of keeping track of criminals. He pro
posed to arrange that when a criminal
left the other side he would be marked
and known from the day of his departure
and would be met at this side by such
men and measures as would prevent the
commingling of the criminal with the
worthy.
Police Point Warning.
The following statement has been made
at Police Headquarters:
It would be hard to over-estimate the
value of Lieutenant Petrosino's work.
I Besides being a skilful detective he was
an honest, reliable man and had the full
respect of every one. Devotion to .duty
and utter disregard of personal conse
quences have always been characteristic
of him.
"It is hoped that the assassination of
this faithful servant of New York City
may bring home to people some Idea
of the seriousness of the Black Hand sit
uation. Although the number of Black
Hand crimes has been decrease about
BO per cent in the last few months It is
impossible to make any radical move
against these outlaws unless the Police
Department can have the use of a secret
service fund provided by the city, and
unless Congress will pass immigration
laws which. will keep criminals out and
make it possible to put out any that may
slip in. The immigration laws today, as
far as they affect the entrance of crlml
nals Into this country, go such a short
way that they almost entirely fail in ac
complishing the object intended. If we
are going to allow into this country men
who are accustomed to take the law into
their own hands, we must expect them to
keep up their tactics when they get
here.
Thirty years have passed since Inspec
tor W tlliams discovered Petroslno. He
had come from his native town of Sal
erno in 1878. His first work here was
bossing a scow gang.
Inspector Williams saw that the young
Italian naa sucn wonderful executive
ability and decided he would do great
worn in me foiiee Department.
"Why don't you Join the Police De
partment?" asked the Inspector one dav.
The young boss merely shrugged his
shoulders. Williams was persistent.
When Petroslno had -left his scow job
and taken a place as bank clerk In Mar
ion street, the Inspector followed him
to his new employment and told him
there was a career for Tiim on the force.
Petrosino's Police Record.
Petroslno entered the department Octo
ber 8. 1S83. He was sent to the Tender
loin Police Station, where for IS years
he did good work. Promotion to rounds
man came soon and later the Police De
partment woke up to the fact that
man who could speak Greek. Spanish and
Italian and make himself at home in
many stations was worth something out
side of a uniform. Higher officials be
gan io irusi to nis judgment. He was
transferred to the Detective Bureau at
headquarters.
Got Murderer Wrlth Slight Clew.
Recently, he was called to Van Cort
landt Park where an Italian laborer had
been found dead, 86 stab wounds on his
body. No one found a clew until he
came and picked up a scrap of paper. It
had been trampled In the mud, but
Petroslno deciphered the address and
then followed the slender thread of evl
dence to the. arrest and the- conviction of
the murderer.
He went from one case to another with
success. In Black Hand cases he was
especially successful. His method was
that of the silent, solitary worker. He
got personally acquainted with men and
localities where he worked.- He might
db aisguisea tonignt as a laborer, tomor
row night as a prosperous merchant and
the next night as a "sport." He gained
intimate knowledge' of the Mafia, Ca
morra and Black Hand organizations. He
discriminated between Italian societies in
which good men met for lawful purposes
ana tne secret, oath-bound societies
banded for the commission of crime.
Warned President McKlnley. '
Petroslno made a tour of the Italian
colony of Paterson, where Anarchists
were supposed to have had their meet
ing places about six months before the
assassination of President McKlnley. He
came oacK trouDied In mind and spirit.
He wrote to President McKinley telling
mm a piot was under wav to take his
lite. He urged that the President use
every precaution to save himself and
dwelt earnestly upon the necessity for
some action. Little attention was paid
to him at Washington. Then President
JMCK.inley fell, . as the detective had
warned him that he would.

DR. YOUNG IS INDISPOSED
Attack of Grippe Makes Substitute
Xecessary at Taylor-Street Church
Because Dr. Benjamin Young Is sick
with la grippe. Rev. M. C. Reed preached
in the pastor's place at the Taylor
street Methodist Church last night. Dr.
Young was so sick Saturday night that
a physician was called In. He rallied
sufficiently to be able to preach yesterday
morning, but the effort proved too much
for him. and yesterday afternoon he went
to bed, where he has been obliged to re
main ever since. '
Dr. Young appealed to the young people
yesterday morning to unite with the
church. Three young men responded,
and were placed upon probation.
The pastor's subject was "Substitutes
for God." .Among these he named athe
ism, pantheism, transcendentalism, posi
tivism, and naturalistic evolution. His
text was Isa. xliv:20, "He feedeth on
ashes: a deceived heart" hath turned him
aside, that he cannot deliver his soul,
nor say. Is there not a lie in my right
hand?" The pastor was to have preached
last night on "Life's Imperatives."
