GENERALS % a HE,NAVY
CONTINUED From FIRST Pare,

rear admirals In order of seniority are:
William A. Kirkland, commandant of
the Mare island navy yard, San Fran
cisco, retires July 8, 1898
Joseph n. Miller, commanding Pacific
station, retires Nov. %. 1898.
Montgomery Sicard, on duty in the Office
of the secretary Of the navy, retires Sept.
. Edmund O.. Matthews. president of the
naval examining board, retires Oct. "a,
1898
Charles s. Norton. commanding Wash
ington navy yard. retires this year.
Francis M. Bunce commanding Brook
Ign navy yard, retires this year.
Officers OF! the navy may be retired on
their own application after forty years
service, AMI those above the rank of lieu
tenant commander must retire upon their
reaching the age Of sixty-two. Those be-
low that rank are retired for physical or
mental disability. The pay of retired ma
va officers is three-quarters Of their sea
pay of the rank they held at the time
of their retirement. At sea rear admit
raj receives $4,000 year; on shore duty,
$4,000, and on leave or waiting orders.
$4,000. Commodores are paid $1,000 less
IN all three lines of employment.
Retired officers of the navy cannot be
assigned to active duty except in time Of
war, and the purpose of the administra-
ton so far has been not to assign retired
officers In the army and navy to field or
sea duty, but to let these posts of danger
be held by those still on the active list.
OF course, such work as the command Of
the mosquito feet along the coast is ex-
cepted. This has been given to Admiral
Erben, who was retired four or five years
ago. .... ..
Until the second year of the Civil war
the highest naval rank was that of cap
tain. though generally the title Of com.
modore was given to a.! flag officer who
commanded a squadron: In 1862 the rink
Of rear admiral was created by congress,
and to this grade were appointed Farra-
gut and three other active captains and
about dozen retired captains. In 1864,
for his capture of Mobile and subsequent
succe sses, Farragut was appointed to the
newly created rank Of vice admiral, and
later D. D. Porter and Stephen z. Rowan
were given the same rank. After the
war ended congress went step further
and made the grade of admiral and to
this grade promoted Farragut and Porter.
There was a special provision of the laws
creating admirals and vice adnMrals
which caused the grades to die with the
men holding them. When Porter and
Farragut vacated their commissions as
vice to accept the higher Office, it left
Rowan the only holder of the second
place, and upon his death In 1890 the
Office lapsed. Farragut died in 1870, leav-
ing Porter sole possessor Of the commits
sion of full admiral. and upon his death
in 1891 both grades were vacated until
congress shall revive them, perhaps, fol-
the heroes of this war.
