to Accept His Nomination.

NEW YORK, March ia reporter Of
the Sun this evening succeeded in getting
a brief interview with Mr.. Reid on the
subject of his nomination as minister te
France Following is the substance OF the
information elected:
II first learned of my nomination on re-
turning this evening from Ophir farm,
West Chester county, on getting copy OF
the Evening Sun at the railway station.
The nomination came without any solicit
tation or effort on my part. L had
not been candidate for this Or
any office and had made no effort for any.
l am greatly honored- by the distinction
and hope it may be thought also compli-
ment to the profession whose good opinion
and honor [ value more than any Office.
The natural presumption is that in case OF
confirmation by the senate nominee for
such an office will accept. l shall certainly
try to arrange my business so as to do So.
If l cannot it would certainly be d1scour-
teous in me to announce it to anybody else
before / said it to the president, who did
me the honor to make the nomination.

NAVAL ACADEMY VACANCIES.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The secretary
of the navy sent out yesterday the annual
notice to members of congress who have
vacancies at the naval academy to make
their nominations of candidates, who will
be permitted to report on the 18th of May
for examination. There are now forty
seven vacancies and four more will occur
in May, on account of that number OF
cadets completing the six year course.
Only one cadet is allowed to each con-
gressional district, and its representative
has the selection of the candidate. Neither
the president or secretary of the navy nor
senator have anything to say IN TINS mat
ter and therefore applications to them are
useless. There are no vacancies at large
for the present and none will occur until
1890, and then only one, unless some casu-
alty interferes. The candidates nominated
to fill the vacancies above referred to must
not be under Is, nor more than 20 years of
age, when they report for examinatlon,and
must be actually residing in the district
from which they were appointed.
