RETIREMENT OF ADMiRALS.
Naval Officers FIXING Up Schems to
Insure Promotion Before Beng
ReIeUQteG

WASHINGTON, D. c., MAY Elf the
big plan arranged by several OF the higher
officers of the navy is carried out there
will be more admiralS and commod ores
applying for re tirement in the next two
months than the navy has known since
the war. The OBJECT of the plan is to adj
vance two officers to the grade of rear-ad-
miral, which would not be attained other
wise, the assignment of Commodore Dewey
instead of Admiral Miller to command the
Pacihc fleet and 6 neral shifting about
OF stations anu duties consequent upon
retirements and promotions. Commo-
dores Phythian and Wallace, who will re-
tire in the next few months in the present
grade unless unexpected vacancies be Sc
cured for them, are said to be the fathers
of the scheme. Both want to be rear
admlrals and are willing TO give up large
part OF their salary if they can induce Ao-
miral Miller and Commodore Norton, VINO
are ahead of them, to make way.
1t will be necessary for them to pay
these officers the money they would lose
by retiring ahead of the regular time.
The department will not oppose the plan
if the admirals and commodores can ar
ran.e il, and will place any or them on
the retired list that some junior be ad-
vanced in grade before being relegated also.
Both Miller and Nortoa are said to be
willing to make application for retirement.
One thing which may prevent the pro-
gramme being carried out is the Queens
Jubilee, 10 which Miller goes to represent
the navy.
Mil!ers orders are TO return and go to
Honolulu as commander OF the Pacific
station. Should he be detained longer
than July Is the whole scheme will be up
set, for Phythian will be retired six days
later and no time will be afforded for
Norton's promotion and retirement to
make way for Phythian.
Miller and Norton do not retire for
eighteen months. 1t is proposed now that
Miller shall retire, making Norton rear
admiral. Norton 10 retire i'm mediately in
order 10 give the vacancy 10 Phythian,
who in turn goes out July 81, thus dis
posing of three rear ad mirals at once and
giving Wallace the next commodore's va
cancy created by Phythian's retirement.
Wallace would retire in November. The
fact hat Commodore Dewey is now prac-
tically certain to be sent TO the Pacific
makes it highly probable that Miller in
tends leaving London in time TO retire in
the interest OF those below him.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 6. Repre-
sentative Barlow of the Los Angeles dis
trict m ade fierce attack on the admin
istration to-day. This is the outcome OF
the unpleasant interview he had with
Secretary Alger few days ago. Barlow
complains that the Secretary treated him
with s2ant courtesy when he called to
ascertain why the act of Congress appro-
priating money for a deep harbor at San
Pedro was not carried out. Barlow to-
day introduced the following resolution

him not to, but to delay It, AIger gave
Senator White to understand that he
would prepare advertisements for bids for
the work at San Pedro.

Grover Cleveland Declines a Lucra-
tive ORer OF writing Essays.
Washington, June 12.-Grover
Cleveland has recently had under
consideration an offer made him
by one Of the leading literary
syndicates for series of articles
on current topics, to appear at the
rate Of two month. The price
to have been paid for this work
was 100000 year, 81, 500 for each
literary effort.
After giving the matter due
consideration Mr.. Cleveland has
decided not to undertake to do the
work, as he does not care to pledge
himself to the performance of a
task 80 arduous as the regular
preparation of these syndicate
articles would inevitably prove in
his case.
Whereas an ordinary man in
political life might undertake to
furnish fortnightly article on the
current topics of the day, in Mr..
Cleveland's case it would be an
altogether different matter. Even
the briefest and most casual bit of
writing, appearing as syndicate
article over his signature, would
attract widespread attention and
give occasion for general comment
and criticism. Therefore an arti-
Gle of great length and i'm
portance, requiring thought and
attention to the course of public
events, would, Mr.. Cleveland
feels, keep him so tied to the work
as to materially interfere with
any other business he might have
in contemplation.
Mr.. Cleveland has before him
the definite purpose of writing a
history of his two administrations.
From a most reliable source this
statement is affirmed as correct.
But the history ID not to appear
during his lifetime. OF necessity,
IN event of such a history being
written, the use of the capital 81"
would be very prominent, and it
is largely on this account that Mr..
Cleveland has decided that it shall
be posthumous. He has q rich
and abundant fund of material for
this work, which will prove .
more than ordinarily valuable con-
tribution to the history of the
country. He is q man of unusual
~ methodical habits in regard to
all business affairs, and during his
two administrations he has sys-
tematically gathered material
which will be of use in the future
compilation of this history.
Princeton University on We'd
nesdsy next will confer on Mr..
Cleveland the honorary degree of
