RELINQUISHED COM MAN D
General schofe!d Receives, Many Army
Officers, Who Bade Him Goodbye.
His Last General Order Issuetl-His
Successor May Not BE Appointed
for Some Tfme.r

Althou gh Lieut.. Gen. Schofield will not go
on the retired list until II o'clock tomorrow,
he practically closed hiss active military
career and relinquished command OF the
army at the close of busin ess-. today. He
held an informal reception in his Office at
army headquarters th.sa afternoon, and
nearly all the army officers and most Of the
officers of the navy stationed, in this vi
cipity took advantage of the opportunity to
pay their respects to the retiring COM
mander and to say goodbye" in an official
serse. Gen. Schofield is very popular among
the citizens Of the capital, and they called
on him en- masse today to say farewell, in
his official capacity only, however.
His Last General Order.
The last general order to the army is
sued by Gen. Schofe!d was promulgated
from army headquarters this afternoon, as
follows:
by operation of law, the undersigned
will cease to command the army at noon
tomorrow Sunday, September 18th He
extends to all his companions and comrades
most cordial thanks for the zeal and fidelity
with which they have at all times support
ed him in the discharge OF his duties, and
he assures them of his high esteem for
their soldierly and patriotic devotion to the
country's service.

Gossip as 10 His Successor.
The impression IS gaining in army cir
oles that General Schofield's successor in
command of the army will not be desig-
mated Immediately. and there are not a
few officers who are firm il the belief that
it Is the Presidents purpose to allow the
assignment to lapse. This latter theory
is based on the fact that there is no legal
requirement for such an officer and that
the functions heretofore performed by the
incumbent can be readily executed by the
Secretary OF War or his assistant without
injury to the service and without conflict
with the statutes governing the military
establishment.
In case any officer is placed in command
of the army it will undoubtedly be General
Miles, now in command of the depart ment
of the east, who will be the senior rank
irg officer OF the army after General Scho-
fields retirement tomorrow. In the ex-
pected event of General Miles transfer to
duty at Washington General Ruger will
succeed to the command Of the depart
ment Of the east, with headquarters at
New York.
