male victims were less than 20 years old.
Their names were Bella and Sarah Nc
Nally sisters, and Emma Wright. The
other woman, Kate White, was about "a
years old. Godfrey Gerlade, the 7O-year-
old keeper of the resort, had evidently died
many hours before the others had sue
cumbed. The body Of an unknown Turk,
aged about 80 years, was found in a better
state OF preservation than the others.
HAD FIGHT.
Broken china and toilet articles literally
covered the floor, and filth abounded every
where. The White woman sat In a chair
near the window in a sickening attitude,
and presented horrible spectacle ia death.
All had evidently been crazed with drink
and had had drunken brawl. Evidently
somebody tripped over the rubber tube
which conveyed the gas from the iron pipe
to the gas range. The windows and doors
OF the house were fastened.
TOO MUCH FOR THE UNDERTAKERs.
The undertakers and embalmers were

ANNAPOLIS AoADEMY.
The Report and Recommendations
the Board af yTia3tr,,.u

The Report and Recommendations OF
the Board of Visitors
WASHINGTON. June 20.--The report Of
the board of visitors to the naval academy
unanimously recommends that the academic
course be reduced from six to four years.
and that at the end of four years cadets be
commissioned as ensigns. 10 also recon-
nends that IL should be required by Law
that the designation Of persons for appoint
ment and their alternates be made one year
In advance when practicable The board also
recommends that the maximum limit of
age for entrance be 10 instead OF 30 1years.
The board believes that the value OF the
course of instruction both to those who
reach graduation and TO those who fail of
graduation IL impaired by the smallness of
the number who can reasonably hope to
attain positions in the naval service.
BETTER MORALS AND DISCIPLINE.
The board considers that the morals. dig
cipline and scholarship of the academyhaVe
improved In the last four years, but thinks
II would be desirable for the government to
find occupation for more graduated cadets
than are now taken annually into the naval
service, and suggests that congress put
these young men into the revenue
marine service. This, it says, would
be virtually offering 80 many more
prizes for diligence and would be-
good place to have naval officers. All
the present subjects of study arc approved.
but 1t is recommended that the study of
international law be added. The board
does not think the demand upon the time
and mental ability of the cadets excessive.
1t finds that the cadets are all vigorous.
active, and In frst-class physical and
mental condition.

NEGRO OFFICE-HOLDERS.
ANOTHER STATEMENT AS TO THE
PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.

Fourth Auditor Lynch and Ex-seustor
Bruce Try TO DiscFedit the Report
That Harrison Sympathizes with
the Position OF the Southern Whttas
They Feel Confdsnt Of Plenty of
Fat Places.
WASHINGTON, June 29.--WashinVtou dis
patches TO several papers, dated June .24.
quoted the President as having spoken az
tolows in a recent conversation with a
southern delegation: perhaps l compre-
mend this race question better than Won
gentlemen think, and sympathize with vour
FEELINGS inregard to the coIored people more
tnan you know. Certainly, in your place
would feel as you do. Personal contact
with an alien race in social, political and
professional life would not be agreeable to
me. would not like to see a
negro mayor or postmaster OF In
ulanapoils, nor representing the power and
y a1.norlty OF the United states in a fiscal or
aninlnlstrative capacity at my own home
IL would not be agreeable to me to practice
my profession before colored Judge or To
meet him as United States attorney. / do
not ihtend TO impose upon the people Of the
south conditions which / would think too
hard II they were imposed upon me.n
A STATEMENT.
Ex-senator Bruce and Fourth Auditor
Lynch called at the Associated Press office
and requested that as wide a G rculatfon as
possible be given TO the following state
.iene, nha maze by them In relation to the
hooVe. They feel fully authorized
to say that the report OF such
conversation is erroneous rfhev
nave had occ aston to call on the President
several times, and on each occasion he
freely expressed himself on matte pertain
ing to the colored race, and they do NOT
hesitate to say that his views upon that
SUBJECT are falrand Just, and will commend
him 20 the appreciation OF the colored peo-
pie throughout the country.
THEIR LAST CALL.
The last time they called ON him was ON
wednesday, when they presented an ad-
dress recently adopted by conferences OF
coiored men held at jackson, Miss. on
June H. That address among other
things declared: "That Mr. Harrisoa
Is President, not Of one section.
but of the whole country. NOT
OF one race, but OF all races OF which
our cltlzenshipis composed. HIS ambition is
TO destroy rather than promotB race prediu-
dice and sectional animosity." The Presi-
dent assured the delegation that his own
position upon that subject could not have
been more accurately aud correctly stated.
Oolored men, no declared, should
not ask to be appointed to office simply on
account OF their color, nor should their color
be ground of objection. In view of all
these facts 1t Is thesopinion Of Fourth Audi-
tor Lynch and ex-senator Bruce that il the
colored people will only be patient and
conflde in the President they win not bs
disappointed in their just and reasonable
expectations. Besides, the appointments
already made by the President ought, they
believe, to satisfy everybody that he en-.
tertains no such sentiments as those alleged
to have beon expressed In the above dis
patch. They assert positively that he ca
tertains no such sentiments.
