A NEW CHIEF OF POLICE. Col. W. G, Moore Appointed to Succeed. Major Walker. Up to12 o'clock to-day conjectures as to Who ‘Would be the new major and superintendent of Police were still in order. A little after that hour the District Commissioners got together to have @ final conference on the subject, and as a result made an order “That William G. Moore 18 ap- Pointed to the office of major and superintendent of the Metropolitan police force of the District of Columbia, vice Samuel H. Walker, resigned, to take effect from this date.” A copy of this order ‘Was sent at once to Col. Moore, with instructions to him to report. to the Commissioners to-morrow morning and assume the duties of his new offi'e. Col. Wm. G. Moore, the newly appointed major and superintendent. is one of the best known citi- zens of Washington. He 18 a native of this city and about 53 years old. His face and form ‘are well known through his prominence for many years in the military organizations of the District. He ts tall, and has a erect and spare military figure, and wearsa heavy gray moustache and goatee. “He learned the printers trade when a boy in the office of the old National Intelligencer, subsequently he was sent asa reporter of the National In- telligencer to the House of Representatives Just prior to the war he was employed under Gen, Meigs, who was then in charge of public “works "here. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted with the old National Rifles in the federal service, and Upon the close of the term of enlistinent was ordered to duty in the War department. He was afterwards made assistant adjutant general with the rank of major, and after Mr. Johnson became President was ‘detailed to the White House as one of the President's secretaries. He was ap- pointed then to a place in the pay corps of the army, and did duty in this capacity out west until 1870, when “he resigned and_ entered business ‘here with = ex-Gov. Shepherd, About "eleven years ago. he dissolved partnership with ex-Governor Shepherd, and en- tered the service of the National Metropolitan bank. He has been In the employ of that institn- Uon ever since. Col. Moore, upon the reorganization of the Wash- ington Light Infantry corps, in 1870, was elected captain of company A, and when a battalion was organized he was chosen as eutenant colonel, a position he still holds. Col. Moore had just recelved notice of his ap- intinent by telephone when a SraR reporter saw him at the bank this afternoon. “I cannot say now,” he sald, “whether I'l accept or not. I'll see the Commissioners In the morning.” Col. Moore was asked to take the place when Major Walker was appointed, but declined. He ll accept now, its said, having yen urged by Ils friends to do’so. ‘The office pays a Salary of $2,600, and has an al- lowance of $240 a year fora house. ‘The salary Will hardly compensate Col. Moore for giving up his present employment, butit 1s sald the Commis- stoners will endeavor to have the amount in- ereased. oe ees Capitol Topies. UNPRODUCTIVE LANDS OF THE UNITED STATES.

Walker, when the officer arrived, stepped up to the lleutenant and sald: “I suppose you know me; Iam Major Walker's brother, Ill go with you quietly.” ‘The Ueutenant took Walker to the station-house and locked him up. The wounded man Was taken into the drug store on the corner and re- malned there until the patrol wagon arrived abd conveyed him to the Emergency hospital. WHAT WALKER SAYS. Walker stated to a Star reporter that he had for a long time been annoyed by insulting letters re- flecting upon the character of his wife. Some of these letters were anonymous, others bore the sig- nature of the wounded man’ ‘He liad. also. been threatened with violence, and finally had Miller bound over to keep the peace. He says that he had no intention of killing Miller, but had avoided meeting him for fear of a personal encounter. He did not enter Evans’ dining rooms because hé supposed that Miller was there and did not wish tomeet him. Turning around where he stood he saw Miller c towards him on F street.

James Morrison, an old colored man, stated to aSraz reporter tat he was standing’ two doors away from No. 912 F street when the first shot was fired. Looking around he saw Miller throw up his arms and spin around on his feet ‘lke a top.” He soon Tecovered himself and advanced upon Walker, endeavoring ‘With hig” heavy stick YO knock the pistol out of his hand. While he continued to advance Walker Kept backing off and firing at the sametime. “The last shot took fatal effect, and Miller fell to the ground with a "ball in his ab- domen, just in front of the Misft Cloth- ing store, at No. 914. Walker then sprun; ppon thé “prostrate form of Miller and bea him over the head with his _ revolver, until a large, red-wilskered man ran out from the sidewalk, seized his arm and knocked the pistol into the snow on the street.

After talking the subject over Walker said he would ‘Wait awhile and see his counsel.
