Will SUCCEED SANGER
ROBERT SHAW OLIVER TO BE AS
SISTANT SECRETARY OF WAR.
Now Brigadier General of the New
York Militia and Formerly a Reg
uIar Army Officer.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 13.-President
Roosevelt has decided to appoint Brig Gen.
Robert Shaw Oliver, of Albany, n. Y, as
assistant secretary of war to succeed Col.
William Carey Sanger, resigned. The ap-
pointment was agreed on to-day at a con-
ference between the President and Secre-
tary Root. 1t has been in contemplation for
some time, as 1T has been known that Secre-
tary Sanger desired to retire from the War
Department on account of the Ill health of
Mrs. Sanger. His resignation was placed
in the hands of the President to be accepted
as soon convenient.
General Oliver has had a military career
of distinction. He served In the civil war
as volunteer, and subsequently, served as
an officer Of the regular army establish
ment in both the infantry and the cavalry
branches. For many years he has been
identified with the National Guard of New
York, and is a brigadier general in
command of the brigade whose headquar-
ters are at Albany. General Oliver is en-
gagged in the iron business, and is as prom
inent in commercial circles as he is in mill
tary affairs.
1t has not been decided definitely when
General Oliver will assume his new office,
out as COlOnel Sanger desires 10 relnQu1Sh
his duties as soon as possible the proba-
bilities are that General Oliver will under
take them as soon as he can arrange his
business affairs. The appointment of Cen
eral oliver. 1T can be said, is satisfactory to
Senators Platt and Depew, who were con-
suited regarding it.
Secretary Root is still the guest of Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill. He will
leave for Washington tomorrow morning.
He and the President have considered the
Alaskan boundary question with some care
during the visit The secretary will leave
for London on the steamer Celtic on Aug.
23 The sessions of the joint commission
will begin on Sept 5.
In addition to Secretary Root and the
house guests entertained by the President
to-day, the party included Archbishop Far
ley, John d. Crimmins, Mr.. and Mrs Jacob
A. Riis, James r. Sheffield Frederick w.
Hollis, all of New York, and Judge Bren-
tano and Civil-service Commissioner A. w.
Cooley. 1t was announced that the visit of
Archbishop Farley was prompted by a de-
sire to pay his respects to the President,
but as he was accompanied by Mr.. Grim
minis, who is prominent in Catholic Church
affairs. 1T is quite certain that matters in
which both the church and the government
are interested were discussed. 1t is known.
in fact, that Catholic questions in the Phil
ippines were considered the presence of
Secretary Root adding materially to a full
and free discussion of the subject. The
visit of other members of the party was
purely social. although Commissioner Cooley
had one two matters of business to brin,
to the Presidents attention.
