ROWISON SUPERSEDES SAMPSON.
Arrival of the Chicago at TOmpl<ins s.
vile ThiS Morning..

NEW YORK. September 27.-The United
States cruiser Chicago, flagship of Rear
Admiral Howison, arrived today from her
long cruise, in which she touched the coast
OF Africa and visited Port Said. The cruis-
er proceeded Immediately to the govern
ment anchorage off Tompkinsvlle, S. l.,
and took position astern of the old Lam
caster. A few minutes later the blue flag
on Rear Admiral SIMPSONS flagship New
York was lowered and the red flag substi-
tuted, indicating that Sampson was no
longer in command of the fleet here.
AS the Chicago was proceeding up the
over bay she was mistaken by the officers
of the forts for the Olympia, Dewey's
flagship. ard an admiral's salute of seven
teen guns was fired
The salute returned by the Chicago
and was 4 sigma! for general demonstra-
ton along the shore. Cannon We're fired
and small arms discharged, while the fer
ryboats and railroad engines started a
dcafening chorus of whistles.

FRENCH AMBASSADOR HEARD FROM
The Embassy Informed That He is
Visiting in Switzerland.

The French ambassador, NJ. Cambon
writes to'his friends here that he and Ma
dam Cambon are enjoying Il vis to Swift
Zcrland. This and the further fal that the
Count de Montholon, French ambassador
TO switzerland, has recently died, is
thought to account for the reports from
Paris that NJ. Cambon will be transferred
from Washington to the Swiss capital
There has been nothing official to indicate
that this transfer might be made. although
the vacancy caused by Count de Montho-
lens death is likely to bring about several
transfers. The Swiss post is considered de-
sfabie because Of its proximity to Paris
Inc French foreign offica has recognized
the long and valuable services of NJ jules
BoeufV as chancellor of the French en-
bassy here by advancing lum to The rank
OF consul This has many substantial ad-
Lantages, and will not interfere with NJ

here.

ARRIVAL OF THE CHICAGO.
No Chance of Conflict of Authority in
the North AtInntic Sauairon.

the North Atlantic Squadron.
telegram was received at the Navy De-
partment this morning announcing the ar
rival of the Chicago at Tompkinsville after
an absence of five months. during which
time she covered a distance of 2o394 miles,
Admiral Howison, who sent the telegram
did not add anything to the simple an
nouncement of his arrival. SO the Navy
Department is yet in ignorance as to
his plans
The officials of the department say that
there is not the slightest chance of any un-
toward conflict of authority as the result
of the arrival of the Chicago at this time.
Admiral Dewey Is the senior officer and as
long as his ship is within signaling dis
tance both of the rear admirals Howison
and Sampson, will take their instructions
from him
According to naval etiquette, Sampson
will inform Dewey of the plans for the re-
ception which he has framed and which
the Navy Department has approved. He
will then ask for the admiral's permission
to carry out this program OF course
Deweys consent will be forthcoming and
Sampson Will proceed to conduct the naval
parade up the bay as originally laid out
The question of Howison's place in the
demonstration will depend entirely ,upor
that admralS wish. If he cares to partici-
pate in the naval parade, Admiral Dewey
viii assign him place with his flagship
the Chicago; probably directly following
the Olympia to which place he would be
entitled by virtue of his rank. But the de-
tails of the program would be executed
under SIMPSONS direction.
When the party goes ashore to take par,
in the land ceremonies all of the aafnirals
will be simply guests of the city recep,Ior
committee, and as such their precedence
will be reSula ted entirely by the rules lait
down by that committee.
The possibility of further complication:
