ADMIRAL M,NAIR DEAD.
Naval officer Next In Rank to ,Deyvey.
Victim OF ADOpIexy

Naval officer Ne'xt In Rank to, Dewey.
Victim OF Apoplexy.
Washington, Nov 29-Rear Admiral
| Frederick G.: McNair died at his resi-
/ dence in this city yesterday afternoon
from a stroke Of apoplexy. He had been
in poor health for many months, and it
! was in contemplation to take him to Eu-
| rope On Tuesday he was taken violently
| i'll, and his condition became so critical
that his attending physician called in Tor
consultation DIR. Stone, one of the naval
surgeons, but the admiral slowly sank
away. He was the ranking rear admiral
of the navy and the officer next in line to
| Admiral Dewey.
Rear Admiral McNair was one of the
most distinguished officers Of the navy.
His last active duty at sea was on the
Asiatic squadron, where, by one of those
curious chances of fate, he was relieved
upon the legal expiration. of his period Of
command by Admiral Dewey just before
the outbreak of the war with Spain.
Had he been entitled to a few more
months service in those waters it might
have been his privilege to lead the Amer
lean squadron into the action that gives
his successor so notable a record in the
annals of sea war.
Rear Admiral MeNair was born ian
Pennsylvania in 1899. He received his
appointment to the Naval academy in
1858 and was graduated in 1851. He
was promoted master in 1860, lieutenant
in 1861, lieutenant commander in 1864,
commander in 1872. captain in 1883,
commodore in 1895 and rear admiral in
1899.
He was actively engaged during the
war of the rebellion and subsequently
performed duty as executive and COM
manding officer ON home and foreign sta
tons. He served ut the Naval academy
as superintendent. Because of his high
professional attanments and remarkable
skill as a seaman he was assigned to
many important duties, notably to the su-
perintendency of the Naval observatory
and to the presidency of the board in
trusted with the examination of officers
for promotion and retirement.
During the late war Admiral CeEvera
and many of his officers were intrusted to
his charge at the Naval academy. and
their high appreciation of his tact and
courtesy and unfailing kindness elected
an official expression of gratitude from
the Spanish government.
