| An interesting contribution to official ETH
quette will be made shortly by President
| Mckinley, to whom it has been left to de-
eide whether the navy shall precede the
army on occasions of ceremonious affairs
| at the White House, or whether the pres
ent custom shall be continued. The prob
| lem has been submitted by Admiral Dew
eys flag lieutenant, Mr.. Brumby, IN ask
| ing at what point in the New Year recep
tlOn his chlef Will be received. AS is well
known, Admiral Dewey's rank, by virtue
| of It's creation by act of Congress, is above
| that of Gen. Miles, but the army has al
ways preceded the navy at these functions
because of its earlier formation in the his
tory OF the country. There have been,
however. a few notable exceptions to this
rule When Gen. Sheridan succeeded Gen.
Sherman in command of the army Admiral
Porter ranked him, and on New Year day
and subsequent occasions during each sea-
son at the White House the admiral fol-
| lowed by the officers of the navy preceded
Cen Sheridan and army officers to the
presence of the chief executive. The same
conditions are again presented in the per-
| sons of Admiral Dewey and Gen. Miles, so
| 1t is to be presumed that the present order
| of precedence will be reversed, and that
| the navy, headed by the hero of Manila,
| will extend New Year greetings to the
| President before the other branch of the
| nations defenders will enjoy the same
| privilege. The decision, however, awaits
! the attention of the President, and must be
| made before the details of the reception
| program can be announced.
