There Was nothing of it startling nature -
ture to be learned yesterday in regard
to the squabble in the police force. It
has been expected tnat the mayor would
summarily suspend those of the force
who have violate his orders to presers'e
silence mu regard to each other , but no
stars hntve fallen. The scare huts probably -
ably caused the offending members to
shut up like clams , although there
seems no lesseniig of the feeling of
jealousy and bitterimess. One of the
complicating features of the atiair seems
to be thiitt the squabble is communed
largely totho ranks of time same political
party , and harmony is desirable in oraer
to secure more democratic victories.
Chief Mullen , who has been so savagely
attacked , is keeping very quiet about
the matter. lie is tinder orders to hold
his ICLLCO and attend to time duties of his
hiosition the mine as the other officers.
Furthier than this lie takes time losition
that he is ready to meet any charges
which may be fornmally presemi ted
against him , or is willing to submit to
any such investigation as the mayor , time
police coinmitteo or time coumicil may
arrange. WTbemi the proper time comnes
he will give hmi side , timid the prediction
is made by his friemids that the showing
viIl be such as to make thiose vhmo have

ashamed of themselves.
