| Wall street was patrOlled yesterday by a
| larger number Of detectives than were ever
before seen. except just after the gray
| forgeries which cost the street $4,000. In
| quirieS at the police central office developed
| the fact that the patrol had been ordered
| by the Commissioners. A few days ago
| John B. Norris and John 7. Denny, Jr.,
the former on behalf Of the Stock Exchange,
and the latter in the name of bank
ers and merchants generally, called iOn
/ President Matrell and requested him to take
additional precautions for the protection of
the monied interests. They said that in
the existing stagnation Of trade, vast num-
bers of men were out of employment and
ready for almost any deed of desperation.
The Board of Commissioners unanimously
resolved that corps Of detectives should
be sent 10 patrol Wall street and other dis
tricts where banks are situated, with orders
to arrest all suspicious persons on sight.

Fleeing the Immigrants.
The railroad war concerning rates of pas
sage for immigrants bound west, which
opened in March last, has Just been
brought to a close. The combatants were
the New York Central and Hudson River,
Erie and the Pennsylvania railroads. Re
Gently the railroad agents look measures
tending toward reconciliation, and after
considerable discussion, il was resolved to
restore the old rules, which have not beel
in effect since March "A. This increases
the rate of immigrant fare to the west
more than 100 per cent, and to some points
more than $50 Ter cent. While the rail-
road war has been thus amicably concluded
the contest among the steamship company
still continues.
