The official life of a gallant warrior expired today, when, bV reason of the fact that he had reached his sixty-fourth birthday annl- vorsary, Major General George F, El liot v commander of the United States marine corps, was retired from active k service, : The .retirement of General -. llott is understood to be the prelude to a complete reorganization Of the marine corps, according to plans , which have been Under consideration "for some time by Secretary of the Navy Meyer.. Until those plans are thoroughly, worked out - and the necessary sanction of congress 1 obtained, It is probable that the corps. sviH be placed in charge of an acting .commandant "; -a ' ' - It Is' a gallant and highly creditable record that General Elliott leaves upon the pages of -the. oldest branch of the 'fighting service of the country of which '. he has bepn in command for more than seven years. A native of Alabama, he 'was appointed a second lieutenant in the marine corps; from New York In 1870. 'After serving ' 6n various ships and at ' the navy yards in Portsmouth, Brooklyn and Norfolk,' he reached the grade of Urst lieutenant In 18S5 he was with the battalion of engineers which ren dered such efficient service on the Isth 1mus of Panama," when the American naval forces commanded by Rear Ad miral Jouett were landed there for the protection of . American interests. At the outbreak of tue war with Spain General (then Colonel) Elliott' was a signed to duty with tbe Wrlne battalion of the North Atlantic squadron and carved ' with special distinction in the engagement at Guantanamq, Cuba, in 1890 he was .sent to 'the Philippines .in command of the Second. battalion of marines and behaved .with- conspicu ous i gallantry In the "engagement at Kovaleta in October of that year.., For his behavior ' on that occasion he was ' specially recommended for promotion by ' Major - General Otis, commanding . the ' United States troops In the Philllplnea. ; Colonel Elliott was broken down by his services In the Philippines and was sent to the naval hospital at Mare Island 1n March, 1900. When bis health had been restored he was placed in com- -mand'or the marine barracks at Norfolk. '' being subsequently transferred to the marine barracks in, Washington.

President Taft will be invited to attend Astoria's Centen nial celebration id. 1911 and to take a leading part in the program which promises to eclipse anything yet at tempted by the oldest city In the north-' west. The president has signified his Intentions of visiting the Pacific coast next year and it is hoped that he will be- able to attend. Invitations will also be sent fo the members of the John Jacob Astor family and they, wilt n,o doubt be directly, rep resented at the celebration. One of the wisest suggestions put forward and carried with a shout was that proposing that the t pioneers who had made Astoria what, '.It was today be Invited to form' a special committee to work, any scheme tbey , might think fit ' - , During the celebrations, a specially and appropriately designed monument will be unveiled and this, It will be pro posed by the executive council.; Presi dent Taft win be asked to do the un veiling.
