ROSS|TER LIKELY
TO Be RENAMED
Admiral Would Have Year
and Half More as Sur
geon General.

There are well-substantiated rumors
Rear Admiral percival 8. Rossiter will
be reappointed surgeon general of the
Navy and chief Of the Bureau Of Med
icine and Surgery upon the expiration
of his present four-year term March
16. Should he be reappointed, he
would have one year and three months
to serve, for he reaches the statutory
retirement age limit of 81 years on
November 30, 1898, and would 60 on
the retired list the. following day.
The continuance in office of Rear
Admiral Rossiter would mark the first
departure Of President Roosevelt from
the policy he has consistently followed
in refusing to reappoint Navy Depart
ment bureau chiefs and chiefs Of
arms and services in the Regular
Army.
1t Is understood Rear Admiral En-
ory S. Land will not be appointed chief
constructor Of the Navy and chief of
the Bureau of Construction and Re-
pair. His current four-year term in
that Office will expire March 16, but
prior to that date in 1888 he served
several months as chief constructor,
following retirement Of Rear Admiral
George H. Rock on October /, 1882,
on his application after 40 years serv-
ice. This prior service of Rear Admi-
raj Land was under a recess appoint
ment by President Hoover, which was
not confirmed by the Senate before
termination of the session of Congress
March 4, 1888. Then President Roose-
welt made the appointment, which was
confirmed. Admiral Land has made
application for transfer to the retired
list March /, after 80 years service,
and it is understood the application
still Is awaiting action of the Presi-
dent. Capt. William G. Du Bose,
senior offlcer of his rank in the Con-
struction Corps and now assistant
chief Of the Bureau Of Construction
and Repair. is considered as the most
likely successor to Admiral Land.
a boad of officers of the Construc-
tion Corps will be convened at the
4Sdfy OCPdI III iPl W
mend officers Of that corps for pro-
motion.
A board Of officers of the Civil En-
gineer Corps will soon convene to
recommend a captain of that corps
for advancement to the rank of rear
admiral. Rear Admiral Reuben e.
Bakenhus reaches the retiring age on
September 10, but there are rumors to
the effect that he may retire prior to
that time.
Col Francis C. Endicott. on duty in
the Philippine department, has been
designated by the War Department as
executive officer of the national
matches for 1887 This is the second
time he has been selected in that ca
pacity.
