President Roosevelt Has Ap-
pointed PaymaSter Gener-
ais for Army and Navy.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Word was re-
ceived at the war department today
from Oyster Bay that President Roose-
welt has appointed Colonel Culver c.
Sniffen TO be paymaster general of the
army, to succeed General Dodge, who
retires today.
The new paymaster has been in the
service since March Is, 1874. He was
appointed paymaster, with the rank of
major, at that time by President
Grant, whose private secretary he had
been for several years. Few men now
living have a more intimate knowledge
of everything pertaining to Grants
administration than General Sniffen.
He is Il native of New York and was
appointed from that state.
Colonel Towar of the pay corps was
the ranking officer. but he does not re-
tire until nearly two years after Cen
aral Sniffen, and he waived his senior
ity i'm favor of his junior so that Gen
eral Sniffen might become a brigadier
general before he reached the age of
retirement General Sniffen will serve
until Jan. ], 1908.
The new / aymaster general is one
of the most popular officers in the army
and has generally been regarded as one
OF the most efflclent men In MS corps.
He served i'm Cuba during the Spanish
war, and for several years was sta
toned i'm Washington as assistant pay
master general.
The retirement of General Dodge
caused number of other promotions,
namely. Lieutenant Colonel William
II. Comcgys, to be colonel Major Eli
jah w. Halford. to be lieutenant col
onel. and Captain JOnn r. Lynch, to
be major.
Colonel COmegys has Eeen in the pay
corps since 1881, when he was appoint
ed from Ohio. Colonel HalfOTd was
private secretary TO President Har-
rison Major Lynch was once q mem
Der of the house of representatives
from Mississippi. and was later fourth
auditar OF the treasury. He is negro.
