changes are due among the commanding
officers of the 'battleship fleet at 5an
Francisco today in pursuance of orders
Issued by the navy department. The
most important change is that affecting
Rear Admiral Evans, the commander-in-Chief
of the fleet. Rear Admiral Charles
M. Thomas, who has commanded the
second squadron of the Atlantio fleet,
relieves Rear Admiral' Evans of the su
preme command. The change marks the
close of Rear Admiral Evans' active
career in the navy, though he is not to
be officially retired uhtil next August.
Rear Admiral W. H. Emory is de
tached from duty In command of the
second division, first squadron, and will
command the fourth division, second
squadron. Rear Admiral Charles 8.
Sperry Is relieved from command of the
fourth division, second squadron, and
will command the second squadron. Cap
tain Seaton Schroeder. who will shortly
reach the grade of rear admiral. Is de
tached from command of the battleship
Virginia to command the second divi
sion, first squadron. Captain Alexander
Sharp succeeds him as commander of the
battleship Virginia.
Thomas in Command.
Admiral Thomas, whk succeeds to the
command of the fleet is one of the
veteran officers of the navy. Born in
Philadelphia in 1846. he entered th
naval academy at the beginning of the.
vi n wm.1 niiu was Krauuaieo in l sob.
For four years he served in the Shen
andoah, on the Asiatic squadron. Few
of the present officers of the navy have
keen more varied service than has Ad
miral Thomas. He was stationed at the
Centennial exposition from 1875 to 1877.
and was In charge of the Constitution
at the Parts exposition In 1878. From
1880 to 1884 he served at the nnval
academy and during the next three
years he was on the flagship Hartford
of the Pacific squadron. Subsequently
he comamnded the coast survey steamer
Paterson, was a hydrographlc inspector
in the coast survey for two years. In ttie
bureau of navigation from 1891 to 1893,
commanded the Bennington during the
next two years, and was In turn com
mander of the naval home, the war col
lege and the naval academy. From
1899 to 1902 he commanded tha battle
ship Oregon. In 1905 he reached the
grade of rear admiral.
Rear Admiral Thomas will have su
preme command of the flfeet for a very
short time. He will not retire for age
until October, but as the fleet will
shortly leave the Pacific coast to re
sume Its trip around the world it will
of course be necessary to make another
change in commanders. Rear Admiral
Charles S. Soerrv is the offirpn rhnun
to succeed Rear Admiral Thomas In com
mand or tne rieet and It la expected the
transfer will be made before the ships
leave San Francisco next week.
AdmlrsJ Sparry's Kscord.
Admiral Sperry is regarded as one of
the finest strategists and tarHHnrm in
the navy, and that is why he has beqn
n.iuiiou hi iae cnarge or tne battle
ships and cruisers for the rest of the
Journey around the globe. He la an ex
pert in his line, one of the most accom
plished officers of the new navy, thor
oughly up to date in all branches.
Moreover, he has spent years afloat in

parade Saturday afternoon, June 6,
there will be some 400 or 600 uni
formed men in line, and it la estimated
that over 2,000 members of tha order
will parade on this date.
We show hundreds of suits the
equal of any suit sold elsewhere in
the city at $15vGuaranteed in every
way Your money refunded if not
satisfactory At
the Chinese and Pacific stations, to say
nothing of the European station, and is
entirely familiar with all tne conditions
that will arise as the fleet continues its
cruise to the far east.
Admiral Sperry Js a native of Brook
lyn, but his family removed to Con
necticut when he was a youth, and in
18S2 he was appointed to the naval
academy from that state. He had no
opportunity to take part in the civil
war. as he did not graduate until 1866.
During the next 20 years or so he
served on the Pacific and European sta
tions. In 1893 he came to Washington and
was attached for two years to the bu
reau of ordnance, as ho was an expert
in such matters. In 1894 he became a
full commander, and from July, 1895,
to May, 1898. was stationed at the New
York, navy yard. Then the Spanish war
came, but still Sperry did not get his
chance to get into a fight. He was at
tached to the Yorktown as corhamhdef
or the vessel, and started across the
Faclfic to the Chinese station. But by
the time he' reached the other side,
Dewey had wiped out the Spanish fleet
In Manila bay and there remained noth
ing in the fighting line for Sperry to
do. He became a captain in 1900. and a
rear admiral in 1906.
In a technical way Admiral Sperry
has been prominent. For two years he
was president of the war college. He
was a member of the general board and
of the Joint army and navy board,
which considered the question of forti
fications for the insular possessions of
the United States. Last summer Ad
miral Sperry served as one of the Amer
ican delegates to the peace conference
at The Hague.
