THE ROW AT ANNAPOLIS.
Secretary Chandler expressed his
opinion OF the recent troubles at An.
napolis as follows: "The disturb.
auces and iDsubordination among
cadets will doubtless sutslde If the
superintendent Ia allowed to work out
the result without interference. But
If cadets are encouraged to persist by
their parents and friends, dismissal OF
forty or fifty may result. The great
difficulty in the management Of the
academy Is that boys and their rela.
tives fail to realize that the school Ia
not an ordinary seminary of learning,
where students pay for the education
which they receive, but is IN institu'
ton of military discipline, where
boys havs their expenBes paid by the
United States, Ii boys expectthe same
privileges, liberties and easy life which
they may have in an ordinary acsd'
envy, they should resign and let their
places be filed by young gentlemen
who are willing TO unreservedly com
NIT themselves to the privstions anc
labors of the academy. SO far as thu
department now understands the diff
fculties in the academy, it will aus
tain the superiutendent, even to tn
extent of diemissing a larger part o
one of the classes"
