THE MAYOR WILL BE THERE
AT THE MEETING OF POLICE COM
 PENSIONERS TOMORROW NIGHT.

It is Thought That Matters Will Then be
 Arranged Satisfactorily-All the Com
 missioners Will Probably Attend-Indi-
 cations That the Mem bers Will Continue
 to Serve.
 A disentanglement of the difficulty which for the past two weeks has in- volved the board of police commission CTS seems to be now at hand and the in- dications are that at the meeting of the commission tomorrow night @ settle ment will be reached. Mayor Farms worth has given notice that he will meet then with the commissioners. that being tIeir regular meeting night, and will talk over matters with them, looking to healing of the injury to their dig nifty, which has ranked the members of the police board since the letters were sent out by the mayor charging them with remissness of duty.
 The rumor was current last night that the mayor had so signilfied his in- tention to the commissioners and Presi- dent Ullman of the board on being ask ed as to the truth of the report, said that notices to the effect that the mayor would attend the meeting had been sent to the commissioners. This Is what the members of the board who sent in their resignations have been waiting for and all will probably attend the meeting tomorrow night. The mayor was eX
 pected to attend the last meeting of the board. but failed to do so and his non-attendance was taken as an indi
 cation that he intended to ignore the desire of the commissioners that he ex
 plain his action in sending the letters, and intended to accept the resignations
 Those who are intimate with the mayor say that his duties with the board of finance in going over the estimates were such as to prevent his attending the meeting of the police commissioners, as he had intimated he would do.
 Notices of the last meeting of the commission since the resignatiOns
 were handed in were sent to the mem
 bers, some being addressed to certain members of tn commission as MT" /" and not as Commissioner" as had formerly been the custom. The notices for the meeting tomorrow night, however,
 have been sent out addressed with the title Commissioner"
 Commissioner Hubbard was seen last night and asked If he had received a
 notice that the mayor would attend the meeting tomorrow night. MT. Hub bard, however, refused 10 discuss the matter at all and declined to answer any questions whatsoever in relation to it. Commissioner O'Brien also refused to talk about the matter. A comms- siOner in speaking Saturday of the difficulty between the mayor and the members of the commission, said that 1 the commissioners would attend the meeting tomorrow night on one condi- l tion. Asked what this condition was he refused to say, but pressed to name the | condition, he said that the commission CTS would attend if overtures towards an amicable settlement of the difficulty | satisfactory to the commissioners were made by the mayor. The mayors an- l nouncement that he will meet the com
 missioners is looked upon as an overture 1 of peace on his part, and the indications are that some understanding will be
 reached at the meeting. It is said that l the commissioners will confer among | themselves before the meeting and set | tie upon some line of action.
