ant Of the Mare Island navy yard. Nc
Gala is due to leave Mare Island or
the 18th inst, when his term of service
will expire by reason of his having ar
rived at the age limit. 81 years. 1t is
believed that McCalla will hold on fol
a few months longer, as no one has as
yet been assigned to this position.
! AS he has applied to the department

| Rear Admiral Goodrich's term as Gem
| mander of the Pacific squadron shall
have expired and that Goodrich will
| be assigned here. Captain B. F. Tilley,
who has the support of the entire Cali
fornia delegation, it is believed stands
