his retirement from active service.
The naval argument in support of
the proposed re-estaolishment of the
grade of vice admiral is strongly re-
mforced by comparison made at the
navy department between the British
home f1eeet engaged in the maneuvers
of last fall (of which eport has just
reached here) and the splendid battle
ship of Rear Admiral Evans,
The figures show that the British
fleet, composed of 26 battleships. Is
armored cruisers, protected cruis-
ers and 81 torpedo craft. were accom-
panied by one admiral, three vice adj
seven rear admirals ant one
commodore. The American feet,
when it is completely assembled in
San Francisco harbor will consist of
10 battleships, 5 armored cruisers, 3
protected cruisers and large number
of supply ships, golfers and repair
ships. destroyers and torpedo
boats, commanded by only four rear

TO HERALD SUBSCRIBERS

|. The Herald goes to subscribers
at S1o0 year in advance.
2. We are mailing bills to all de
linquents, with the expectation OF
prompt payment.
g. The United States postoffice de
partment requires newspaper publish.
ers to refuse to carry subscribers in
arrears. Under the latest ruling OF
the department, publishers of weekly
newspapers cannot carry Subscribers
in arrears more than one year. and
dailies not longer than three months.
e. A fine is provided for the viola.
tion of this order.
5. This new regulation went into
effect January l. 1908, but a special
order grants a limited time in which
to confcym to it.
6. The Herald management has
been extremely lenient to subscribers
and would be disposed to continue
that leniency. but the postoffice de-
partment orders otherwise, and 1t is
ours to obey.
Z. We cannot afford to continue de
tinquents on our list, take the risk of
and paying a fifine besides for send
ing them the paper.
5. We will be glad to have all sub
scribers pay promptly that we may
continue to send The Herald. Those
who do not do so, will not think hard
of us If we drop their names from
list, and then proceed to collect the
amount still due. We did not make
the Aaw, but neither may we refuse
to obey It.
g. The Herald subscription Is s100
a year strictly in advance, and by adj
vance, we mean, within the first
month. After that the charge will be
$3.50 to all subscribers.
10. Please do not force us to drop
your name from the Herald list, and
place the bill against you into the
hands Of an attorney for collection.
This would be exceedingly unpleasant
for us.

BISHOP TO Be CHOSEN MAY BE vCE-ADMIRAL
A Move to Surprise Evans With
That Honor.
IT DEPENDS ON CONGRESS

Washington, March Ain a quiet
way naval officers In Washington are
endeavordng to arrange a most agree
able surprise for Admiral Evans when
the battleship feet under his command

completes the Pacific cruise. TO sig
nalize the appreciation OF the govern

undertaking, it is proposed 10 greet
the Rear Admiral with a commission
as vice admiral of the American ma

OF course, the success of this under

president has done his part in making
a proper recommendation to that
body for the re-establishment of that
naval grade. and 1t is not doubted that
congress can be induced to act upon
the recommendation in season to In

Much Interest in Selection of Sue
cesS0r
cessor
TO LATE BISHOP sATTERLEE
Drs. McKim, c. M. stires. w. M.
orosvenor and J. A. Freeman
Are Mentioned.

New York. March Among the
prominent elergmen being discussed
In connection with the selection OF a
Successor TO the late Bishop Satterlee
as head of the Episcopal Diocese of
Washington, are Rev. Dr. Ernest M.
Stires. rector Of st. Thomas; Rev.
Or William NJ. Grosvenor, of the
Church Of the Incarnation, and Rev
DR.. james f. Freeman, OF Yonkers.
It is generally understood that the
young diocese of Washington will
select some one from the Cast.
Bishop Satterlee was for many years
rector OF a church in New York, and
there is said to be a strong senti-
ment to have someone who has been
at the head of metropolitan church.
The bishop of Washington has a
difficult position to fill sdn it will be
necessary to have someone whose
social grace will enable him to adopt
himself to the cabinet and the diplo-
matte circle.
DR.. Stires is by birth a virginian
and would be acceptable personally
In Washington His friends say, how
ever, in view of the fact that he is so
devoted to his favorite project of see
ing the building OF the new st. Thorn
as, which is % cost 81 100000, that it
is unlikely he could be induced to
leave at this time.
DR.. Grosevnor has on several occa-
sions been mentioned for bishopric
and it was thought he would be
chosen bishop coadjutor in this d.
Geese. He has MANY friends in soci-
ETY. here and in Washington and
while he was rector OF Trinity church
at Lenox, Mass, he had a wide &C
uuaintance with diplomats.
Rev. James A Freeman, rector #
st. Andrw's Memorial church, of
Yonkers, is one of the most agrees
i've of the younger clergymen in the
Episcopal church, and has several
times been snolsen Of as destined for
q see. He came within few votes
recently of being chosen bishop of
Colorado.
Two Washington clergymen are
also looked upon in the light OF the
successor. One is the Rev. DR.. Ran
siolph H. McKin rector OF the Church
OF the Epiphany, who IS widely known
throughout the East and South He
has been in charge :of churches in
Alexandria and Baltimore. DR.. McKim
is an accomplished scholar and the au-
thor of numerous theological works.
Dr. Cotton Smith, rector of ST.
Johns Washington. is also considered
as eligible.

CANDIDATE HEARNE
A Good Word From SistersviIIe-
Hearne Optimistic.

On Wednesday evening of this
week, Hon. w. H. Hearne, of Wheel
ing, promoting his candidacy for the
republican nomination for governor
He addressed an audience assembled
in City Hall and presided over by
Mayor Kirkland.
The Daily Oil Review has this to
say of him:
Mr.. Hearne is man of magnetic
presence. dignified and brainy. There
is nothing of the sham in his makeup
and while not an orator of the spread
eagle standard. he is a most eonvinc-
ing speaker and what he says IS
stamped with sincerity and underlying
ripe Judgment. His independence Of
thought and action was a-so clearly
indicated by his remarks concerning
the state issues which are to the
front. 1t is plainly apparent that Mr.
Hearne does his own thinairo and
takes his position In public matters
with an unhinching disregard as to
whether or not that position is in ac-
cord with the views of the other
leaders of his party. This sturdy in
is a strong characteristic
and one that is wholly commendable
when supported by the ability and in
tegrity possessed in heaping measure
by this gubernatorial possibility.
