NO CHANGE At NEW ORLEANS.



The labor situation here remains un-
changed today. The colored screwmen
were at work under the protection Of
the state troops on the foreign steam
ors which are loading cotton and there
was no attempt on the part Of their
white rivals to interfere with them In
any way. Numbers Of the whites re-
main idle. but their time is spent In
haunts on the side streets and
thoy avoid as much as pos
sible appearing on the leyee. There
was no formal attempt to effect a set
tlement Of the trouble today. The
white screwmen held several meetings
In secret, but tonight showed no sign
OF being able to recede from the POSI-
ton they have taken. The merchants
committee was also in session, but
their business was mainly TO raise
funds for the support Of the troops.
They refuse to treat with the screw
men and say that they VIII be satisfied
with nothing less than an absolute sur
render-the acknowledgement Of the
right OF every man, irrespective Of
color, TO work on the levee.
The governor remains In the city,
though he has had no conference with
either committee today 1t Is likely 10
be several days before the attempts to
reach settlement are renewed scrl-
ously. There Is no work along the
shore on Sunday and the troops Will be
allowed to rest tomorrow. Under the
constant protection afforded by their
presence, the negroes have grown bold
err, and many today were willing to go
10 work before the military put in an
appearance. Others, however, feared
TO do SO, and the ship captains them
selves forbade start until the troops
were In position. Unless all expecta-
tions fail there viii be several new
companies Of militia on the levee front
on Monday morning. Late this even
ing II was ascertained that Governor
Foster had been IN communication with
several Of the country commands. look
iug toward having them come to the
city and do duty on the river front.
II is said that he received favorable
replies from the troops stationed at
Donaldsouyllle, New Iberia and Mon
roc. This action was taken by the
governor in order that the boys from
the city would have chance OF get
ting back to their work. which has
been sadly neglected for the past three
days
Notwithstanding the military were
dismissed this evening they We're or
dcrcd TO report for duty Monday IN

VINES FROM THE nLnE.
4 Carrier Pigeon From the wrecked
steamer.

New York, March l6.--The wreck Of
the Elbe and attending loss of life were
revealed yesterday by the unexpected
arrival OF carrier pigeon that was on
board that ship at the time.
That the bird was on board the Ill
fated steamer is well attested by the
fact that its owner, Mr.. Edward Gar
bett, a prominent real estate dealer of
Scranton, Penn, received advices from
Europe that crate containing several
valuable pigeons had been shipped TO
him from Berlin on the Elbe.
Last Friday morning Mr.. Garbett was
surprised to see carrier pigeon on
the veranda facing his garden. All his
pigeons had been locked no Thursday
night, yet he thought he recognized he

He threw out some corn and the hIrd
was trapped and caught.
