TIL office OF admiral was not created for
the navy of the United States until the sec
ond year OF the civil war. Previously the
grade Of captain was the highest in the serv-
Ice. although the title of commodore had
been accorded to commanders of squadrons
and naval stations. The grade of rear adj
miral was created on July 10, 1862; that of
vice admiral. on Dec. q. 1864, and the high
est grade of all, that OF admiral, on July %,
1866. The rank of admiral in our navy is
relatively equivalent to that Of general of
the army; vice admiral to lieutenant general
and rear admiral to major general. The pay
per annum of admiral Is $4,000; the sea pay
of vice admiral. $1,000. and of rear admiral,
5000. The general management and direc-
ton of our naval affairs rests entirely with
the secretary of the navy and his depart
ment. The admirals of all grades and other
naval officers are subject TO his orders, and
their duties are purely those of commanders.

Senator-elect Beveridge, Of Indiana, was
at the Union Station the other night, en-
route homo from Washington, where he
met a number Of Columbus friends. He was
asked to take part in the Ohio speaking
campaign but said he feared he would be
compelled to decline the kind offer, for. as
he put 1t, Il have been away q long time
and will be compelled to buckle down TO
work. II l made one speech in Ohio my
friends would expect me to deliver others.
and / do not believe i will be able to do
anything in the Ohio fight. Next year,
when the question OF the Endorsement of
the policy of President Mckinley is before
the people, / expect to be on the 60 con-
~tinually." While the senator did not say
so, 1t is understood that he will make one
of the greatest speeches Of the Fffty-sixth
Congress early In the session on the Phil
ippine question. The senator was among
the islands for five months and Is loaded
with information such as only a personal
visit to the scene of the trouble would af-
ford. He is one of the most eloquent
speakers in the country and his speech, II
Is believed. Will be u historic one.

A Melancholy Salute.
Philadelphia Record.


Because Admiral Dewey had arrived,
Mayor Ashbridge told Private Secretary j.
Hampton Moore yesterday to tell Chief of
Bureau Of City Property George G.. Pierre to
tell Superintendent of Independence Hall
Samuel Reeves to ring the bell in the clock
tower seventeen times. Mayor Ashbridge's
theory was that il seventeen guns make an
admiral's salute, seventeen bells. for all
practical purposes, make the same thing Il
told Reeves and Reeves tolled the bell" said
Chief Pierre wittily yesterday afternoon as
the slow and mournful notes floated up
Chestnut street. Great sadness was created
by the sound. None understood hat the
bell was ringing a salute to Dewey. The
people mistook the melancholy tolling for
the announcement of some. irreparable ma
tional calanity-the death Of Mckinley, the
capture of Otis. the sinking Of the Olympia,
or something like that. In the Stock Elk
change ali business was suspended while the
brokers listened I'm huddled groups, with
awe-stricken, anxious eyes, to the long
drawn-out notes which Superintendent
Reeves extracted from his bell. Mr.. Reeves
admits that he went a little too slow, but
he says that he never rang an admiral's
salute before. Next time, he thinks, he will
do better.
