NUMBER NOT SUFFICIENT.
Navy Department Lacks Officers I'm
der Reorganization Plan.

As result of the transfer of former
engineer officers of the navy to the line.
with the stipulation that they be assigned
to engineering duty on shore only, the
Navy Department has found that there
is an insufficient number OF captains
and commanders to perform all the neces-
sary duties TO which officers of these
grades are by regulation, eligible for as
signment.
These transfers were made by the per-
sonnet act of 1899. The presence on the
list of line officers is said by Rear Ad-
miral Potter to be embarrassing. When
they reach the rank of flag officers Adj
miral Potter believes the situation will
be worse. At present there are twenty
seven Of these officers. ten captains and
seventeen commanders.
Admiral Potter has recommended 10
Secretary Meyer that the twentyseyen he
made additional numbers in their grades
The effect of this proposed Legislation
would be to prevent officers who are not
eligible for sea duty from occupying the
authorized numbers intended by Congress
for those who perform sea duty and
would give about one years promotion to
the Junior commanders and lieutenant
commanders and thus bring them into
command and rank at an earlier age.

rectors' Meeting.

BALTIMORE, December s.-The recent
ly- elected directors of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company will meet in New
York tomorrow for organization. More
than usual interest attaches to the COM

this Is the confident expectation of his
friends, both here and in New York.
He left last night for New York. taking
much of his clerical force with him.
They will round out the work today at
the company's office In that city. One
change of policy which may be inaugu-
rated at the meeting is said to be the
naming of an advisory board, apart from
the executive committee, to supervise the
detailed operations of the road. MI.
Murray will head this committee If its
formatio should be determined upon by

The second Boston Symphony Orches-

a large audience and proved in every
way the treat to Washington music

Der OF light numbers that won approval.
Nothing that conductor could. do was
left undone by Max Fielder, whose uni
formly fine work has won for him a po-
sition in the first ranks of symphony
conductors, and Olga Samaroff played
with that brilliancy which is so thor
oueEly appreciated by those who lean
more 10 the intellectual than to the tenn
peran,ental in music.
The principal number on the program
was Goldmark's Rustic Wedding" Even
if the Rustic Wedding is suite" and
not strictly symphony" as many
critics maintain. 1t is nevertheless a com
position of such rare beauty that none
found fault with Director Fielder for
giving it.
The other purely orchestral number was
Richard Strauss It'll EuenspieseTs
Franks an eccentric fantasy in the COM
poser's happiest mood. and again the
band was heard in the List concerto for
