pIsGRAcEFUL SCENES AT THE MEETING OF The
POLICE BoARD-sTILL wRANGLISG OVER The
FOURTH INSPECTOR OF ELECTIONS.
The crowd which attended the meeting of the
Police Board yesterday morning greater than ut
any time since the present muddle began. 1t was
generally expec ted that the published decision OF tho
Supreme Court would have tho effect of breaking
the deadlock which has parayzed all efforts to APP
point inspectors Of election for the city and partially
restore harmony in tho proceedings OF tho Commits
soners. Tammany Hall was represented by score
more OF politicians. while anti Tannsnyites and
republicans were also in abundance. The trick
played on Friday morning by the republicans res
suited in the presence of oil four Commissioners in
the Board at precisely Zine o'clock. Mr.. Secor

mer with the air OF a presiding othccr-while the
rest Of the Tammany braves seemed to regard the
room their rightful camping ground.
Mr.. French moved that the reading of the min
utes be dispensed with. 1.-The proceedings Of this
Board have become tarcical," he said. 'The Mayor
Is constantly preferring frivolous and ridiculous
charges against me. and he may prefer further
charges for having the minutes read and thereby
causing delay"
This motion lost by vote of two to two
The reading of the minutes then proceeded
with by Deputy Clerk Kipp. Mr.. French said that
his statement made at the meeting on Thursday had
been omitted and the minutes were incomplete
without this important itom. Mr. MacLean asked
his private stcnographer. who sat opposite Mr.
French. to produce the statement from his notes.
"The manner of that boy. as you call him. -
said Mr.. French. pointing excitedly to the stenog
rapher. "was so offensive to me on Thursday that
will not believe any statement he may make in tho
matter"
"In what manner has he been offensivcy' asked
Mr.. MacLean.
HE was sticking his tongue out at mo and making
faces. He made some Of the most frghtful exhibi-
tions. suppose it Is duo to his training your

II think Mr.. Frenchs manner is successful imi-
taton of the stenographer's ofensiveness said Mr..
Morrison dryly.
Commissioner French rose to his feet and said. in

after short wrangle all hands resumed their seats.

THE ORDER RECEIVED.
| Mr.. French then said that the Supreme Court had
rendered its decision IN favor Of Tammany Hail. and
that the inspectors of election had to be appointed
without any delay. Mr.. MacLean said he had not
heard the decision. Mr.. Wheeler then read 1t from
newspaper. After hearing 1t read Mr.. MacLean
said that there soomed TO be doubt In the
| mind Of the Chief Justice MS to the manner
OF issuing tho Court order, and he declared that
| there nothing in the published report to
| compel them to appoint Tammany inspectors. Mr..
MORRISON said that he was not going to act in the
matter until the decision OF the Supreme Court
came to the Board in the usual formal manner.
Besides" said he Il was present in the court room

lively that Chio Justice Davis took back great deal
of his inadvertcnp remarks regarding the selection
OF inspectors from the ranks Of Tammsny Hail.
| At this Mr.. French fired up and sud- turning to
