DEWEY TO BE RANKING
NAVAL OFFICER TOMORROW.
Succeeds to Rear Admiral Bunce in
Grade. and SchIey win Take Bunces'
Command -Other Changes.

NEW YORK, Dec G.-The Press says:
On Christmas day Rear Admiral Dewey

service In the United States navy Rear
Admiral Bunce. commandant Of the navy
yard. now holds that place. but as he
has reached the age limit he will. while
still remaining cammandant OF the yard,
until his successor there is officially ap-
pointed. be retired.
When the order from Washington
reached Rear Admiral Bunce that he
continue in command in the yard until
relieved by the appointment OF his sue
cessor 1t created a great deal Of gossip
In the navy yard club and among the
officers on the ships.
A few days ago, although Rear Ad-
miral Schley had asked for sea duty
and it was generally believed that he
would command the squadron OF the
Asiatic station. official Information came
from Washington that he would be named
as commandant OF the New York yard
But now il is believed amorg the officers
In the yard that the officials in Washing
ton have decided to await the arrival OF
Rear Admiral Sampson, at present on his
way home from Cuba, before definitely
determining upon the more important
assignments made necessary by the re-
tlrement OF Rear Admiral Bunce.
1t is believed by the friends OF Rear
Admiral Schley that this waiting upon
the pleasure Of Rear Admiral Sampson
is the result OF the controversy that has
been carried on between the men.
It Is not known what SAMPSON wants.
but 1t believed in the yard that he mel
ther desires that Schley so to Europe
or take command of the New York navy
yard. TTW
It is known that Schley prefers to so
to the European station, and yet the
officers are sure he has recently been
booked to succeed Bunce in the navy
yard here. Rear Admiral SIMPSONS
wishes probably viii determine, they
say. the assignments Of all the officers
except Dewey, and the protests or desires
Of others will be Of no avail.

Baltimore's Mayor Has Good Chance
OF Succeeding Senator German.

Annapolis, Nd, January 1S.-The
first ballot in the Maryland Legislature
for successor to Arthur p. German
in the United States Senate was taken
to-day, each branch balloting separate
ly, with the following result:
McComas, 81; Shaw, IL; Shryock. 8;
Findlay, 2; Mullikin, l.; Barber, 6; Ur-
ner, L; German, 43; Lowndes, l; Page
total, 109.
Absent, Republicans 2; Democrats 6.
Necessary to a choice, SO.
These discussions have rendered it
impossible to bring about a Republican
caucus. The first break in the Repub-
lican ranks came two weeks ago, when
eleven members of the House of Del
egates from Baltimore City refused to
caucus on the speakership, and by
erecting a coalition with the Demo-
Gratis elected one of their own number
to that Office Numerous attempts
have since been made to get the seced
ers back in line, but they remain firm
in their position.

not an avowed candidate, it is certain
that he would not be averse to wear

electing the leader Of the anti-organiz-
alton wing Of the Republican party.
That such a thing is possible, there is
no doubt, and it is freely asserted that
Senator German and his lieutenants
will try their best to bring about such
result whenever it is asserted that a
deadlock is no longer practicable.

appointed at Columbus, Ohio, last
month to formulate plan for the con-

secret. Not more than dozen manu-
facturers were present.
The proposed agreement, it is said,
was not definitely formed, but the
committee adjourned to meet again at
the call of President Reed.
President Reed denied the meeting
was called to form trust He ac-
knowledged that such thing had been
mentioned outside Of the meeting of
the association, and that several mem
Ders might possibly be in favor Of
some sort of a combination that would
extend American tin plate trade to
other countries, but he said there was
nothing in the scheme and that even
II such thing were proposed the mem
bers of the association would furnish
all the capital needed.

Six Sailing Vessels Chased From honolulu
70 San Francisco.
San Francisco, January 18.-SlX sail
ing vessels which started from Homo
lulu sixteen days ago have all arrived
in this port within few hours OF
each other. The trip across the Pa
ciic became a race after the first day
out and the contest was made exciting
by the fact that the vessels were IN
sight of each other most of the way.
The competing vessels were the brig
w. G. Irwin, barkentine w. H. Dl-
mond, bark Albert, barkentine Archer,
schooner Transit and the brig Lur-
line.
The w G. Irwin arrived off the
heads half an hour in advance of the
Lurline. Then came the w. H. Di-
mond, archer, Albert Transit in the
order named. The last arrived off the
heads three hours after the Irwin
crossed the finish line.
Old ship masters say that the per-
Torrance of the six vessels is without
precedent, and may be reckoned as
one of the things that occur once in a
thousand years.

fight which ended in a bloody riot
took place among the students Of
Franklin College, the Baptist institu-
ton of Indiana. The seniors and
sophomores on one side and the jun
iors and freshmen on the other have
been clashing for some time, and the
crisis came when the junior flag was
seen floating over the college. The
senior-sophomore crowd gained the
roof of the building and tore down the
banner, precipitating an exciting
struggle.
Later another SO flag was run up
over the court house. 1t was torn
down and a scrimmage ensued in the
court house park, one hundred stud
ents taking part Heads were broken,
faces cut and blood flowed freely a
great crowd witnessing the conflict.
The officers finally quieted the riot.
During the struggle the $4,000 telescope
was badly damaged. Further trouble
is expected.
