Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans is to be
assigned to duty as second in command of
the Asiatic Naval Station, succeeding
Rear Admiral Frederick Rodgers, who
will soon become the superior commander
of the United States fleet in the Far East
The changes viii take place when Rear
Admtrals George G. Remey and Louis

shortly, have been relieved from sea ser
vice. Admiral Remey is the commander

miral Rodgers commands the South

kempf commands the Northern Squadron

chants and taxpayers held in this city

lander revenue bill adopted resolution
to take every means to nullify the meas
ure by inducing the United States Con-
gress to disapprove 1t. A committee OF
fifteen was appointed to select commits
sloners to go to Washington in reference
to the matter.
Dispatches from various parts of the
island report that similar meetings were
held in dozen or more of the PRINCIPAL

A MARSHALL DAY BANQUET.
bar to Celebrate in
Good style.

jacksonville, Fla. Feb. 3.-To morrow
night the Jacksonville Bar Association
will appropriately celebrate the centen-
AIRY of the accession of the late John
Marshall, to the office of the chief jus
ticeship of the United States.
This celebration will be combined with
the annual banquet of the association,
and elaborate arrangements have been
made TO render the affair grand sue
cess. Messrs. d. u. Fletcher. A. q.
Hartridge and f. o. Locke have had
charge of the details on entertainment
and this committee is sufficient to make
anything il undertakes a success. The
banquet takes place at the st. James.
There will be 60 plates laid and Manager
Campbell has been told to spare no eN-
pense in having spread that will eclipse
anything of its kind ever given in this
city.
4. w. Cockrell. Jr., president of the
local bar association, will preside. EX-
Congressman Charles NJ. Cooper has been
chosen as the orator of the occasion. His
subject will be John Marshall" MIR.
Cooper is familiar with the life of this
distinguished jurist and will make a most
appropriate and impressive address.
The toasts selected and the responses
are as follows;
The Florida Lawyer" Hon. Charles
l.. Fildcs.
THE Triune Principle Hon. John E.
Hartridge.
THE Powers of Reasoning and the Style
of Expression, as Illustrated by John
Marshall" Hon. Charles S. Adams.
Mistakes of Marshall" Maj. Alexander
st. Clair-Abrams.
The committees are jubilant over the
selections and the orators, and one re-
marked last night that the speeches would
doubtless be The most brilliant and en-
pertaining ever made in this city.
Gov. w. S. Jennings will be the main
guest of the evening. The Supreme Court
judges were invited, but as they have a
celebration of their own, they could not
accept
