 How long the Grand Jury will be in session can only be conjectured.

The Grand Jury had up some of the city police yesterday, but whether or not it was in relation to the re. stricted district question which it is reported is to be investigated, did not leak out. As the Grand Jurors have not yet started upon their tour of investigation throughout the city, 1t Is fair to conclude that they have still some other important matters before them, as their inspection of the public buildings etc is generally the last work on their schedule.
