Dudley, aged fifteen, and Daniel Nagle, aged
fifteen. Ascending to Wilson's room, the
rope was passed under their arms. When all
three had been securely fastened they
were carefully swung from the window and
started to descend. They had gone
down but few feet when there came
snap, the rope parted close to the pulley, and
the boys were dashed to the sidewalk, seventy
feet below. McCune and Dudley were almost
instantly killed. and Nagle fatally injured.
wilson was arrested and locked up. He was
almost crazed by the occurrence, and an
open penknife found in his pocket leads to

NAVAL TRAINING SHIPS,
Commodore Schiey Wants 1000
Boys to Study Seamanship.

Commodore ". S. Schley, of the United
States Navy, in his report has made a strong
appeal to Congress for modern vessels for the
training schools. The present vessels are
hardly worthy of repair, though they are
now being put in condition for further SER
vice.
Commodore Schley is in favor Of a further
increase in the scope of the school. 1t is his
desire that the boys should not only be care
fully grounded in all the rudiments OF sea-
manshp, but that with the aid of modern
crafts they be carried higher in the art and in
Quoted into the mysteries of the cruisers of
the day.
The Commodore is also inclined to favor an
increase of the number Of boys He would not
be averse to having 200 boys attached to the
school in the various stages OF instruction. The
Commodore thinks that this number could
he accommodated, and use found for them
rs soon as they are ready for active service.

A Gift TO the South.

Daniel Hand, rich resident Of Guilford,
Conn, has given to the American Mission
ary Association, of New York. 81, ,O00, ,O00 for
the education of colored men in the old slave
States
Mr.. Hand was grocer in Charleston, S.
c., before the war, and, being of Northern
sentiments, went North when the war broke
out leaving all his property, about $50, 600,
in charge of George w. Williams, his con-
fidentiaf clerk and Southerner. Mr.. Will :
Jams used the property pro6taby during the
war. and by investment in Southern pine
lands became very rich. Six years ago
Judge Luzon B. Morris, of New Haven, coun-
sell for Mr.. Hand, advised the latter to seek a
settlement with Mr.. Williams. Mr.. Williams
came to New Haven and honorably paid up
the original sum and interest, amounting to
$4,000, sending on the last instalnlent two
years ago. This amount, with the accrued
interest, forms the great bulk Of the sum now
returned to the South by Mr.. Hand.
The association is to have unrestricted
charge of the expenditure of the interest, ex-
cept that it must be devoted to the education
OF such colored people as are needy and in
digent, end such as by their health, strength
and vigor of body and mind give indications
of efficiency and usefulness in after life.

Presidency and Vlce.FreSQency OF Cne
United States, and through him. as the let
ter suggested, to influence the votes OF many
others.
Upon this correspondence being made pub
lie the Minister received the representatives
of the public press, and In frequent inter-
views with them intended for publication,
added to the impugnments which he had al
ready made of the good faith of this Govern,
ment in its public action and international
dealings. Although ample time and oppor-
tuni have been afforded him for the dls-
avowal, modification or correctlon OF nus
statements to some OF which his attentlou
was called personally by the undersigned.
yet no such disavowal or modification mas
been made by him through the channels IN
which his statements first found publicity.
The question is thus presented whether IL
is CONF atible with the dignity, security. ana
indepen lent sovereignty of the United States
to permit the representative OF a foreign
Government in this country not only to
receive and answer without disapproval, and
confirm by his repetition, aspersions upon its
DO itical action, tut also to interfere in its
domestic affairs by advising persons formerly
his countrymen as to their political course a'
citizens of the United States. AS between
this country and Great Britain, there can be
no controversy as to the complete severance
of the ties Of or ginal allegiance by natural
ration. Disputes on this point were hnally
put at rest by the treaty OF naturalization
concluded by the two countries on the 18th
OF May, 1870. Therefore it will not be con-
tended, nor was such contention ever al,
mitted by lis. that citizens OF the Unlted
States of British origin are subject to any
claim of the country of Their original allegl'
snce
The undersigned also has the honor to call
attention to the provisions Of section 55o OF
tue Revised Statutes OF the United States oy
which severe penalties are visited upon the
