SCHLEY WINS At LAST.
Buffalo, n. \.

Washington, March 5.-The Sem
ate on Saturday confirmed the nomi-
nation ofall the naval officers promot-
ed under the provisions Of the new
personnel act. The nominations fol-
lowed the order of the officers in the
naval register, in which Admira
Schley has always been two numbers
ahead ef Sampson.
Under the navy personnel act there
are eighteen rear-admirals, and 1t is
provided that the first nine shall have
the pay and rank of major.gensrals in
the army, and the other nine the rank
and pay Of brigadier-generals. Fort
una,ely, Rcar-Admiral Dewey was
made an admiral just in time to give
Rcar-Admiral Schlcy place among
,he nine rear-admirals who will rank
as major-generals, and so he has
emerged from the long fight against
him even more successfully than bis
friends anticipated.
Rear-Admiral Schley will now re-
ceive $500 Year,pay with his new
place on the naval register, while
Rear-Admirsl Sampson, being in the
bngadier-general class Of admiral =
will be paid $4,000 a year. These
are the figures for duty at sea. AS q
commodore, Rear-Admiral Schley'r
pay was $4,000 a year on sea duty,
With reduction both for shore duty
md when he was on leave.
The officers who distinguished
themselves when the Spanish fleet
was destroyed off Santiago were re-
commended for promotion, but thu
Senate did not act upon their nomi
nations on account of the feeling
aroused by the effort Of the admin
ration to advance Sampson ovel
Schley. The nomination ofAssistan'
Constructor Hobson to be a construc
tor also failed, although it was ex
pected that prompt action would b'
taken in his case at least.

Other instruments keep time with the

are almost sure to stop short, the first
