CHANGES ON THE FORCE.
Several Transfers and Others Ex-
pccted In Police Department.

Several TrAnsfers and Others Ex.
pccted In Police Department..
The transfer of Precinct Detective SUIT
ton from the first to the fifth precinct Sat
urday afternoon, as published In Satur-
days Star, came In the nature of a COM
plete surprise. not only to the officer him
self, but also to his brother detectives. The
change caused a feeling of uneasiness 10
other members of the force, especially those
who do detective duty, for 1t was believed
that this was only the first Of a number of
changes intended.
Officer Sutton will do street duty in the
fifth precinct in place of Policeman Joseph
Shipley. who goes to the 9th precinct to re-
lieve Policeman William Riley. The latter
will do duty in the first precinct in the
place made vacant by the transfer of SUIT
ton.
Policeman Phillips Of the fifth precinct
has been detailed at police Headquarters
to do clerical duty. He Is an excellent
clerk. besides being stenographer. and it
linberger and give him time to go out and
see what his men are doing instead Of con-
Quoting his correspondence, as he is now
obliged to do large part of his time.
An order was also made relieving Policy
Detective Watson of his detail. and order
however. does not go into effect imme-
diately. and should there be revival of
the policy business it will be withdrawn.
Policeman John Brennan of the sixth pre-
cinct he's been detailed for duty at the city
pest office in place of Policeman Harry
Wanneii. who was persioned last week.

Senator WcllinEtOn's Fruitlcss Fight
ON MIR. Warmers Nomination.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
BALTIMORE. Nd. July 10, 1897.
The defeat of Senator Wellington's effort
to prevent the confirmation of Mr.. B. H.
Warner, jr.. as consul to Leipsic has been
the dominant topic of discussion in local
political circles today. and of course the
democrats are delighted at the senator's
discontinue, while there Is a very general
feeling Of satisfaction among the republi-
cans.
In fact, Marylanders, without regard to
politics. are pleased with the outcome Of
the spirited controversy over this momen-
tous question, for the popular judgment
here throughout the discussion has been
that Mr.. .Welfington's protest. In view of
his Endorsement of Mr.. Warner for the
Southampton consulship. has been M-ad-
vised. and that his method of Directing has
reflected slight credit upon either himself
or his constituents. Even the senator's per-
Sonal friends and stanchest supporters
have felt that he has gone too far, and the
result is not unwelcome to them. While
they are not willing to express themselves
publicly on the incident. privately they
criticise his attitude, and conclude by ex-
pressing their satisfaction that it has Oc-
CURED SO early in his career.

AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
A Bill Submitted Permitting Its Use
by Railroads.
lHE OVERHEAD TROLLEY INCLUDED
Condemnation of Site For Entrance
Provided For.
FULL TEXT OF THE MEASURE

AS predicted in The Star several days
ago. the Commissioners today agreed to
report favOrably a bill providing for the
widening of the Aqueduct bridge, and the
laying of a single track railway thereon.
which may be operated by overhead troll
ley.
This was the action Of a majority Of the
board, Commissioner Ross dissenting on
the ground that the former board Of Com
missfOners had compelled the Capital Trac-
ton Company to build the union station
and make the second story sufficiently
strong to carry the weight of a railroad
which was designed to cross the bridge
and enter the station on the second story.
Beyond this objection he had nothing to
offer in the way Of amendment. The bill
agreed upon today provides for the con-
demnation of sufficient land for the rail-
way company On the east side of the en-
trance to the bridge.
Following is the full text of the bill. to-
gcthcr with the letter of the Commission
ers transmitting it to Congress-
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled. that
the Commissioners Of the District of Co
lumbia are hereby authorized to widen
the supcrstructure of the A queduct bridge
and to lay a single track thereon, In &C
cordance with plan approved by them
