RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF VISITORS
The board OF visitors to the United States Naval
academy for 1884, consisting of Rear Admiral r. W.
Shufeldt, Hon. Robert C. Scherck, Senators Pen
dleton and Angus Cameron, Representatives s s.
Cox, Gon and John II. Evins, Hon. Dorman B.
Eaton, Hon. stephen NJ. Allen, of Boston; Prof
Edward S. JOyEeS, OF Columbia, S. c., and MeSsrs
E. S. Jewett, Of Kansas and Wm H. Upham, OF
Wisconsin, has made its report to Secretary
Chandler. 1t is accompanied by a special report
upon the conditions OF admission to the academy
by Mr.. Eaton.
The report prepared by the board recommends
that naval cadets at the academy be regarded as a
part or the navy, and be subject cOurtSmaria In
"a form best adapted to the circumstances OF the
school; that no person whose connection with the
academy has been severed in consequence OF mis-
conduct should be again admitted to II, except
with the approval OF the academic board, that Sc
lectlonS for the academy Should be made q year be-
fore the time OF intended admission and that the
candidates should be examined so seasonably as to
be ready to enter the academy during the first ten
days OF June The superintendent is requested to
report TO the next meeting OF the board what ad-
vantages and disadvantages would accrue from the
extension OF the naval academy course from four
to five years. There should be new and additional
quarters provided for the cadets Quarters should
be provided within the grounds for officers now
land which divides the grounds OF the academy
on the shore should be at once purchased. The
discipline Of the academy seems all that could be
desired.
MIR. Eaton in his special report recommends that
the number OF cadets be increased to 500 or 600:
that the system OF entering the academy be
changed so that appointments to cadetshipS should
be apportioned to the states according to popula-
ton; that there should be an appropriate form OF
application for examination, but no influence nor
recommendation on the part OF any member OF
Congress, governor, mayor, party manager or other
prominent person should be required for making
this application. The quota OF q state should be
filled by selecting the highest in grades from all
those who competed from the state. In case OF
vacancies occurring after the annual examination,
those highest on the examination lists should be

Mr. AND MRS. GRAVES ATTEMPT AT SMUGGLING.
When the passengers on the steamship America
were landed at the barge Office. In New York. on
Friday, Mr.. and Mrs James Graves, who had spent
part OF the summer In Europe, were invited, very
much to their surprise, TO step into the private
office. The New York Herald says: Mr.. Graves
belongs to the diamond importing frm OF W. Fox
& Co., and when the custom house detectives saw
his name on the Americas passenger list they ex-
changed sly wipks and prepared TO receive him
with all the honors. IL is said that previous
terpriSe OF Mr. Graves dwelt In the official memory
His handbag Was opened and in IL was found
piece OF soap. The United States has no laws
against the use OF soap outside OF politics, but
In the soft substance were found thirtytw glitter
ing diamonds. None OF them weighed less than q
carat The weather being somewhat oppressive
Capt. Bracket gracefully assisted Mrs. Graves to
take on her cloak. She was very much astonished
TO IND that some one had concealed ten brilliants
under the fur lining. while the fingers Of Capt
Chalker discovered dozen or more valuable stones
which had by some strange circumstances been
misplaced In the lining OF Mrs. Graves modest lit
tie bonnet instead OF in her jewel case Her sur
lining or the hand bag, OF brooch in the form OF
pansy, with nye petals composed OF diamonds
weighing one and a-half caratS each In the center

diamonds Evidently Mrs Graves maid was very
forgetful person In packing her mistress effects
other articles OF toilet were found brooch set
with six large br1lliantS, six rings, a scarf pin,
three sets OF earrings and several smaller brooches
It seemed to relieve Mrs. Graves mind to know
that all the Jewelry she had missed had only been
misplaced The diamonds and jewelry are valued
at $4,000. The import duty is about So 900. Mr.
Graves was placed under arrest, and Saturday he
