To Take Sampson’s Place.

Having in view the possibility of the application of Admiral W. T. Sampson for relief from duty as commandant of the Boston navy yard pending his retirement, the navy department officials have selected an officer for assignment to that duty. The admiral has been in delicate health for some time and it would not surprise the officials here should he seek an early relief from duty. Thus far the admiral has made no request for relief. The name of the officer selected to succeed him has not been announced.
