He says that such action will not interfere with the navigation of the river, and con- sequently he sees no objection to it.

Actipg upon the report of Col. retary of War will, this afternoon or to- notify the District Commissioners at their application has been approved, and that no objection will be offered by the War Depariment to the anchoring of the Fern at the place designated by them. > CHANGE IN DETECTIVE Cores. Allen, the Se Inspector Matting} Retirement Not Due to Friction. For several days past rumors have been current that there would be a change in the head of the detective force, Inspector Mattingly retiring. The facts in the case are that Mr. Mattingly has asked for a transfer to the Heutenantey of a precinct, which is a corresponding rank to that of the office he now holds. As to whether the request will be granted by those in control of the matter the future alone will develop. There is at present no vacancy in the list of lieutenants nor 1s any likely to occur. Rumors have been circulated that Lieu- tenants Gessford and Kelly would be placed on the retired list in the near future, but it can be stated on high authority that no such action has even been considered by these who will deal with the subject. The report that Major Sylvester and In- ector Mattingly are not on friendly terms as today denied by both of those named, saying that he and the inspector had been friends for sixteen years and he expected these relations to con- tinue for the future. According to those who are competent to speak of the matter, there is no proba- bility that there will be any change in the head of the force for many months to ccme, Commissioner Wight said there is no necessity for a change, and while it is possible that Congress will be ed to appropriate a sufficient sum to increase the pay of the inspector so as to make the of- fice more attractive, so far zs the salary is concerned it is unlikely that any change of that sort could be made effective before July 1 of next year. jor Sylvester > An Old Offender. James Gray, colored, an old offender against the laws forbidding the taking of other people's goods, was arrested by Po- liceman Barry and Special Officer Gillott last night and locked up. He was arrested in a house near Vermont avenue and 15th street, where a female friend hall him hid- den under a table. ‘There were two charges of theft preferred against him in the Police Court today. In one case involving the theft of some dress goods he pleaded guilty and was given sixty days in jail. Another case, in which the theft of a piece of meat was charged, was continued.
