He also reported what he bad — heard about the ppearance of garbage from the wharf at night. Inthe report he stated that a load of gurbage at the wharf Tues- day night was not there the next morning, and he had aiso heard some mention of the garbage which is reported to have been thrown over- board Friday night of last week.

A Sran reporter visited the sanitary com- pany’s wharf this morning, where the inciner- ‘ating plant was in operation. Superintendent Arnold was not on the premises, but Mr. A.

XO LAW TO COVER IT. Policemen Smith and McKie spent some time investigating the case. Two days ago, after calling at the heaith office, the matter was Inid before Attorney Pugh, who was to have issued the warrants today, but when Ofticer McKie went to have an information made out against the contractor he was in- formed tha: there was no law covering the case and he couid therefore not issue ® warrant. Mr. Pr afterward stated to a Stan re- porter that he had examined the laws but failed to find any that would cover the throwing of garbage in the river. * —— DISTRICT GOVEKNMENT.

Medical Directors Gihon and Dean, who stood first and second in rank and seniority in the medical corps, were told by their friends that they had | been passed by simply because they would be | Tetired ina few yearsand becauso it was felt jti- | formed there would be trouble abont the | that the interests of the service demanded that the officer selected for the head of the bureau | should be able to serve out his term of four yeara, UPSET BY GEN. CARLIN'S APPOINTMENT. The argument was a reasonable one and they | submitted with the best possible grace. It was thought that the same rule would apply to | the army so far as was consistent with the dil- | ferences in the laws reiating to the respective | | Services. These calculations have been com- | pletely unset, however, by the promotion of | Col. Carlin. “Of all the officers conspiculousl: eligible for the vacant brigadier generalxhip ho | bas the shortest term to serve onthe active list. | He will be retired by operation of law in | vember next. His early retirement was the | only reasonable objection that had ever been | Offered against his elevati His record was | excey | qu | queatly by his juniors. solely on account of his age, that he was thought to be out of the race, | capecially after the Presittents action in the | case of the naval surgeon general. TWO OTHER IMPORTANT APPOINT! NTS. It may be stated as a fact, however, that Col. | Carlin’s promotion is most popular in the army. | Nevertheless it tends to distress those offic | who bad hoped to see in this appointment a clear indication of the President's policy in such matters, especially as he will soon hav | two other important army appoint disposal. ‘These are the otices of surgeon gen- eral and adjutant genera! ‘The first named office will become vacant on the 20:h instant | by the retirement of Suzgeon General Sutker- lland, and the other will become vacant in November next by the retirement of Adjutant General Williams. If the President had ad- hered to his rule in the surgeon general in the navy Col. Page, the senior otticer in the medical corps of the army, and Col. Vincent, the secoud senior officer in the list of | assistant adjutant generals, would have been | eligible for promotion to the prospective | vacancies im the heads of their respective de- partments, for the reason that they are both near the age of retirement. Now, while neither of them has any certainty of promotion, he stands an equal chance of success with any other officer of his department. NOT ALWAYS BY SENIORITY. It is well known, however, that such appoint- ments do not always go by seniority. Under President Harrison seniority was often set | aside in appointments of general officers in the army and of heads of staf departments, both | in the army and nayy. Indeed, the very object ' of the existing law is to free the President from of a seniority rule for such ap- jn. mally honorable and his joned, but he had been passed over so fre- capacity un- pointme: Presiden ment of chief to every one of the burea the navy, since apart from the question of age ‘ement, appointments are for a period of four years only. to act as head of the bureau, and then reappointment is needed. But in the army, sould the same susnected intention pre- | vail, the innovation would be much more teri- | ous, because there the appointment by the President of a chief of # staff corps carries | with it a permanent promotion to the rank and pay of brigadier general. BEST FOR THY SERVICE IN EACH CASE, In view of the recent apparently policy-con- flictirg appointments the gossips have con- cluded that the only rule that the President bas adopted in thts matter is to do whst he thinks best in each individual ease without regard to questions of seniority, and that where it may be well to follow beaten path in a certain class of appointments it may be altogether better to follow an gntirely different path in another class. In other words he will have no fixed poiicy, but will decide each case in- | dependently on its merits, ee MILITARY RIFLE COMPETITIONS.
