Official Doings in the Departments
Offensive Trades.

The Police Commissioners are still pursuing the
lettings alone policy that seems to have taken hold
OF them. Numbers OF visitors present themselves
at the Central ONCE every day and are received.
but that apparently is the end, for nothing Is
DONE 1t may be that the Board Is preparing
grand coup by which the Department IL to be re-
generated and reformed, and that the de-
tails OF this effort require time for the
preparation. During the past week street
cleaning occupied good portion OF the attention
OF the Commissioners, and they express them
selves determined to get the thoroughfares OF the
city in good state and to keep them 30. Mean
while the regular police affairs are going ON as
usual, and that is anything but satisfactory 30 far
as the outside branches OF the service are con-
cerned. The oosest negligence is shown by the
people In tine station houses When murder or
heavy robbery occurs hours allowed to elapse
before the fact is telegraphed to Headquarters
Sergeants and captains labor under belief that
they should ferret out all the particulars Of

before sending them to the Central once, wnen
the opposite action should he the one in practice.
Recently several murders took place in one night,
and nothing was heard OF either OF them at the
Central Once Tor hours after This dlatoriness ON

sons know that transfers are to he
made, and the Commissioners are only waiting TO
understand the men to effect the contemplated
changes. There are about eight choice precincts,
and every captain on the force, except, OF course
those in charge at present, is looking TO be re-
moved to one Of them. Whatever influence, pOlit-
zeal or otherwise, each captain mas, he s pouring
in upon the commissioners to secure one OF the
privileged places. The result OF all this labor and
weight is plainly shown by the inaction OF the
Commissioners and It ls highly probable the sesec
FITNESS OF MEN
and not to political ncllnings. Precincts are con-
sldeFed good according U the aMouIs ol money W
be made IN them. In some Of them there Is good
deal OF honorable money to be made, and others
afford opportunities Tor the requirement OF con-
siderable dishonorable gain. No one would sup
pose that any officer holding the rank OF
captain OF police would be DESTROYS Of getting into
precinct where dishonest profit was easily ac-
CURED, but every one will naturally see that most
of these officers are anxious to have the
places where the honest perquslres to
be obtained. The Commissioners are fully alive to
the existence and force OF these sentiments
among the captains, and they VIII unquestlonaby
make choice OF men for transfer who are known to
be good policemen and reliable men. The rush Tor
promotion among the sergeants Is Just as strong as
Department are pushing to be raised to captains
At the present time nothing OF that kind can be
done, for before the new precincts provided tor by
law can be formed the appropriations must
be enlarged to enable the Commissioners to
build station houses. This fact will check the
ardor Of the sergeants and perhaps serve also TO
their duties. The Board met yesterday morning
and dismissed DR.. Chadsey, who was attached TO
the Twenty eighth precinct. They also appointed
DR.. Waterman and detailed him to the Twenty
second precinct. Already the new surgeon system
sioners, and return to the old style may be ex-
pected every day. A reward OF $50 Is offered
Tor the best design for a new shield.
A committee OF the citizens Of the Nineteenth
ward called on the Commissioners yesterday, and
the chairman Of the committee presented petition
asking Tor an increase OF the police force IN their
ward, and signed by 5000 persons The President Of
the Board assured the committee that the petition
would receive the earnest cooperation OF the
