HAZEN'S PROPOSED PLAN OF RR- ‘ORGANIZATION—RECOMMENDATIONS TO ABOLISH THE SIGNAL CORPS AND TRANSFER THE WEATHER BU- ‘REAU—THE RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVED BY THE SECRETARY OF WAR. Applications to succeed Gen. Hazen as chief sig- nal officer of the army have not been received in any number as yet, but the probability 1s that forty colonels, with no telling how many majors, captains. and civillans will soon be bringing to bear all the influence possible to secure the promo- ‘on to a brigadier. The chances are that they Will all be doomed to disappointment, and that the weather bureau will be transferred to a civil department of the government and the signal ser- vice, a8 such, probably abolished. The Secretary of War, in his annual report of 1885, strongly recommended the transfer of the weather bureau, and it isexpected that he Will soon address a letter to the President reiterating the recommendation that. the attention of may be called to ‘the matter, with a view of securing early legislation.
