 THE LONDON POLICE FORCE. Younger officers of the Greek Navy Anxious for War.
 LONDON, Feb. 22.-The resignation of Col accepted His retirement gives general sat isfaetion. It is conceded that there is sup posed good material in the police force, but that the oficering must be entirely recog- nized. There is some talk of appointing Captain Shaw to succeed Henderson. Shaws success as chief of the fire brigade shows him to be good organizer. It is possible that he will be detailed for the purpose of re- modelling the police system and will thus re- sume his present place, chief of police be- ing designated. Interviews with several police officers are published in which they complain of the inj ustice of the press cen sures upon the way in which Sundays meet ing was dispersed. The officers say the as- saults upon the mob were necessary and that but for them the affair would have grown into riot like that of the week before, when half million dollars worth of property was destroyed. The afternoon papers generally call upon the authorities to prevent the as sembling of any more of the Socialist or labor meetings which offer so many op- portunities for mischief.
 Appropriate references to the anniversary of Washingtons birth appear in to-day's 1urnals. The Standard compares the Amer jeans of to-day untavorably with the charac- ter of the man whose memory they are cele- brating.

 A Madrid dispatch says that the alleged conspiracy to unite Spain, France and Port ugal under the Duke of Braganza is regarded by the monarchists with contempt and with the republicans with disgust.

 Opinion Nm A Railroad Suit.
 EAsToN, Pa, Feb. 22.-Judge Schuyler this afternoon delivered an opinion in the suit of August P. Pindle against the Penn sylvania, Poughkeepsie and New England railroad company brought on bill to fore close mortgage for the sale of the mort gagged property. The judge says the order Under which the sale was made neither di- rsctly nor by implication authorized the sale other than for cash. The trustees report was that he sold the property for bonds. It would have been nearer the truth if he had report ed that he had given the property to plain tiff, for ii the pretended sale is confirmed these bonds will be of less value than the paper which they are printed. The de- cree of foreclosure and sale was improperly entered and is void for want of jurisdiction.
