New York, Dec. 21.-The stock mar
ket had to carry another heavy load of
liquidation to-day. Trading was on a
smaller scale than on any previous day
this week. but the tone was feyerish and
unsettled throughout, and fluctuations
were constant The principal selling
pressure came from London, where the
money difficulty was aggravated by re-
newed apprehensions over the safety of
the British troops in South Africa and
the advance in the official discount rate
of the Bank of France. Much import

The Board of Works will hold a regular

ciaI Officer James Brannan Mr.. Dow
has two resolutions with the board call
irg for the discharge of these two men,
lut 50 far has been unable TO get the
secord vote in the board necessary to re-
move them.
Last week Mr.. Dow declined to give his
reasons for introducing the resolutions
but remarked. You all know. as well as

The Mayor would not take snap judg-
ment without giving the two men an op-
portunity TO explain, so an order was
made that. Rohan and Brannan walk the
carpet at tomorrow meeting.
Branran,s shortcomings consist in his
behavior during the last city campaign
He was firm supporter of Thomas Car
rity, the Democratic candidate for Mr.
Dow'S position. 1t is alleged that he not
only worked openly for Mr.. Garrity
which is against the rules of the Police
Department, but that he also spoke very
disrespectfully of Mr.. Dow, who by virtue
of his office is Police Commissioner
Immediately after the election Mr.. Dow
ordered the Chief of Police TO. temper.

after he had been suspended for six
weeks he was by the votes of the Mayor

was punishment enough and that the in
cident should be closed But it is more
than probable that no action will be taken
until the new Chief has had an oppor-
tunity to watch the special officer and
report as to his present behavior.
John Rohan IS another very active
Democratic politician. Mr.. Dow has not
yet stated upon what grounds he would
remove Rohan, but will probably do so
tomorrow. Rohan is an old and accord
