relieved of the command Of the North
Atlantic squadron This action is to
be taken at the request of the admiral
who has already had much more than
his portion Of sea service in his grade
After a short leave Of absence he will
be assigned TO shore duty, probably in
command OF one of the navy yards. In
considering the selection Of Admiral
Sampson's successor as commander
fn-chfef of the North Atlantic station
the navy department has practically
narrowed the field down to two names
It has been laid down as the policy to
be followed that the commands of
fleets and stations shall be reserved
wherever practicable. for the nine rear
admirals OF the first grade It has been
found that OF these officers who are
not already on sea service or about to
retire shortly, there are three names,
Remey in command at Portsmouth

Farquhar has been longest on cOutin-
