NEW ORLEANS, March 10 The day after
the riot found everything que in New
Orleans. There were no negroes OH the
levee.
The police are on hand on the river

tition of yesterdays bloody affair. There
was heavy fog hanging over the river
ali morning, aud the police were unler
the IMPRESSION the rioters woull again
take advantage of thus fact to commit
deeds of violence. But this belief dIl not
pan out for the simple reason that no
negroes put in an appearance on the
levee.
The ship agents have decided, in view
of the present unsetuel state of affairs,
that IL would he bad policy To at,empg to
work co.oreI lab bprers. They rea ize that
the screwmen have peen worked up To
pitch OF fury aud Al an attempt was made
to work to-day more blood wou a be split.
The result was thai all the snips being
loaded by agents employing colored la
borers are uu lstu rDe 1 today.

the levee is over, and unless something
unusual hap ems, there will be no repeti-
uon of yesterdays r.otIng.

assertions of last evening thaI he would
MAINTAIN pc ace a. all Is. IL, how
ever. ADVISED the agents not To attempt %
work co orcJ laDorers to-day, be ievint If
the negroes were put of the scene for 2i
hours the fighting spirit of the whItes
would die out.
There is rumor of n street car em-
/ pioyes' strike. FJr some time there has
been trouble over the question Of hours.
