anxiety. The appointment OF conference committees
and the Efforts which were made In frequent inter.
mittent consultations have kept everybody In q

cloak rooms, the quarters Of the leading parties
to the negotiation q the hotels and the legislative
chambers kept In the busiest hustle Of discussion
almost without intermisslon through tho night Ava.
rety Of propositions for settlement discussed and
rejected The leading points In these were the part
OF the Senate the retention Of tho Police Commission
tho Health Board and the retention Of the physicians

accept The defeat Of the BILL and with IT, divorce from
the leaders of their antagonists Had It not been for
the alarm OF the Weed men and the abandonment OF
their ground providing that the commission should DO

the entire party In the State.
