He Is willing to Rank Second to Admiral
Sampson.
Washington, Feb. 25.-Rear Admiral
Schley has written to friends in WASH
ington asking them to use their in1u-
ence to quiet his overanxious cham
pions and expressing a willingness to
take u place junior to Rear Admiral
In his message to a brother officer.
whom he has selected to represent him
In Washington on his occasion, he has
requested that both Sampson and he
be promoted to the grade of vice ad-
1niral, and says he is willing to go on
the retired list In that grade. which he
will hold subordinate to Sampson.
Admiral Schley realizes that this Is
the only way Of settling the contro-
Yersy which has grown up and which
Is destined to block other promotions.
He has also indicated hat the efforts
which have been made in his behalf
have not had his present approval and
encouragement.
This enthusiastically generous atti-
tude of Admiral Schley might have a
good effect il there were time to press
the matter to the front in the senate.
There Is q to the effect that
a vice admiral, even IL congress pro-
Nides for two such officers. If Schley's
friends could be assured that he would
he promoted to the upper grade they
say they would follow the admiral.s
request and consent to his being made
a grade behind Sampson.
Admiral Schley retires this summer
anyway, SO it will be better for him to
do 80 as a vice than as a rear admiral.
Senator Hale says he will push the nro.
vision for the two vice admirals with
out delay.
