By far the largest pieces of property which have been represented so far in tho appeals which have been filed with the board of relief against the Increase in the valuation of property In the center of the city, made by the board of assessors this year were filed yesterday. The larger of the two Is the appeal from the assessment of the Biiou theater property. which has been raised s19,ooO, from sl41.0Oo to s16O,O0), The other is an appeal on the former Goodyear property, which was assessed for s260 900, and which was sold a few months ago, at which time tho new owners secured mortgages of Sl3o, 900 on It. The property is located at the corner of George street and Congress avenue, and the assessment this year was raised 10 s1SOloO on the strength of the mortgages which had been se- cured on it.

The appeal of Patrolman Kerrlgar came up yesterday in the court of common pleas and as he did not contest the case but accepted the fine imposed the case is settled SO far as the courts arc concerned. The po- lice board has been delaying any &C., t0in 1t might take to await the comple- ton of the case in court. This result of yesterdays case leaves the matter ready for action by the board. It is quite probable that action will be taken lat the meeting tonight,
 There Is persistent report of re- tirementa in the air that will not down and which sooner or later is pretty cer- tain to materiallze. In fact these re- tlremcnts are looked for any time and
 it is quite possible they may be made tonight. One of the chief objections which has lain in the way of the retire. ments Is that there is not enough money in the pension fund to take care of the pensions of the mon If they are retired. Rumor has two captains down to be sent to tine retired list and this means quite considerable yearly pen sion amount Tho fund is already
 loaded down to its capacity. However, there has arisen talk that the retire ments may nevertheless be made the pension being provided for by an extra assessment on the members of the de- partment The fund at present Is re- IcruIted from the men by the assess Iment of two per cent. of their pay each week and 1t is suggested that an ex- tra assessment would bring the fund up eonugh to allow the retirements contemplated Whether or not such action will be taken is a matter of con lecture, It may not be done vet again lit may bc decided on and action taken even at tonght's meeting.

 Tt may be affirmed with certainty l that both ministers concur in the neses- sity for a conference and that the pour parfers at the foreign office, following as tRey do upon the Franco Russian negotiations on the same subject, have smooth'ed away some of the difficulties which were fin the way,
 It is now regarded as probable that the latest events in the Near East also necessdtate the enarging of the scope Of tho questions to be discussed at the conference"
