With the Squadron of Evolution.

An officer with the squadron of evolution
writes: The squadron reached Corfu on the
18th of March and all the ships have had target
practice with great guns and secondary bat
teries and the officers and men have also been
firing at targets with small arms at rife ranges
on shore. SO We have passed from one busy
phase of exercise to another and the reward is
that the squadron presents smarter appear
ance and health and energy dominant
among the men," Referring to criticisms of
the squadron and its commanding officer the
letter says: 1.-The fact is that everything is 60
ing along quietly and pleasantly in the squad
ron and If the military spirit is somewhat
dominant, as compared with the good old
times of a few years ago, IL must be remem-
bered that we are evolving methods of drill
and military organization for a new navy and
correct solution of such important problems
cannot be attained by any laxity OF discipline
or countenance of iooseness. These facts will
all be recognized as part OF the system by and
by, and meanwhile, one cannot help wishing
that the department would set the fault finding
aside by publishing the real facts borne out
by official records. The effect would be good
all around !"

POLICE COURT sHYsTERs.
Good Effects OF Judge Miiler's Remsrks
and Actions Yesterday.

Peter X. Jones. the colored carpenter whose
Police Court ''capping" Was denounced by
Judge Miller yesterday, was unable to pay his
fine Of go and was consequently committed 10
jail The imposition of the fne and the words
of warning given by the court had good
effect on the 'cappers," and this morning
about the court there was a noticeable absence
OF the usual "shystering practice" As the re-
suit of the warning there were not so many
petty offenders defended by counsel this morn
ing. In the past Il was not difficult matter
for the poorest prisoner to secure counsel n
he had dime or two in his pocket. and the
courts time was unnecessarily wasted TO NO
good purpose.
Concerning the statement made in THG
STAR yesterday about attorneys speaking 10
the Judge while the court is IN session in order
that clients present or prospective may be inn
pressed with the idea that they have .'infin-
enee" with the court. Judge Miller SAYS that in
the absence Of the prosecuting attorneys The
lawyers frequently speak 90 hun. requesting =
posiponement of a case. but that is all they
have 20 say. IL any of these lawyers have been
using such visits rs blinds" to win the conf
dence of their clients or other lawyers clients.
the judge says. he knows nothing about il, and
n n is the case he will pretty soon check such
business

PAY OF POST OFFICE CLERKS.
The Postmaster General Saws the Eight
Hour System Would be Costly.

Postmaster General Manamaker has sent "a
Representative Bingham. the chairman OF the
committee on post offices and post roads, his
views on H.R. bill 64I9, being "A bill to limit
the hours of work of clerks and employees in
first, second and third-class post Offices" He
states that the first section of this bill pro-
poses to fix eight hours consecutive labor as a
full days work for all clerks and employees in all
first, second and third-elass post Offices. and TO
authorize the payment of not less than the
classified salary for a days work limited to
eight consecutive hours; also to pay any clerk
or employe for any service in excess OF eight
hours an additional amount in proportion 10 the
annual classified salary. This section includes
the SIG clerks and employees at present at
tached to the l02 first-class Offices the 5lT Sec
ond-class Offices and the ,20s third-class offces.
whereat allowances are now authorized for
clerical labor in separating mails. These third
class offices, however. under existing laws. are
on different basis from the first and second-
class offices.
The total additional cost to the government
involved in limiting the hours of labor 10 eight
per day. the Postmaster General saws. would be-
S2l62,479 II ten per cent were added for
additional clerks and employees on account OF
the growth and expansion Of the service. the
total estimated amount would be -, 37s. 727.
1T seems proper 20 add" Mr.. Nanamaker
says. that / have consulted with a number OF
the most practical and successful postmasters
upon this subject and the opinion is unani-
nous that IL Is impracticable 90 adjust the
duties of the clerks 10 give 10 each one .
tour of consecutive hours of labor without a
great waste of money. III your committee
should determine to recommend this measure
1t seems proper TO suggest that some provision
should be made TO credit the government in all
cases where clerks and employees. for any rea-
son, perform less than eight hours labor in
any one day.

Colored Naval Cadets.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR.
In your article yesterday referring to the
probable appointment of a colored naval cadet
from North Carolina by Congressman Chea-
than of that state, you took occasion to say
that there had been only one other colored
boy appointed 10 a cadetship at Annapolis. and
that he had been 'bilged for non-etIiciency"
There have been three such appointments of
colored boys, who entered and remained a
while at the Naval Academy, and the particu-
lar cadet referred TO In your statement was not
obliged" for non-cfficiency
The three cOlored cadets we're James III
Conyers and Alonzo G. McClennan of South
Carolina, and Henry L. Baker of Mississippi.
The latter was the one who had the encounter
with the cadet engineer at the fencing exer-
clses IN the gymnasium, but was not dismissed
c'bilged'o for non-efficiency. His dismissal
was the result of a mock trial at which he was
charged with offering an insult to a fellow
cadet at the mess table. The facts were that
Baker had himself been insulted. and because
he resented II he was charged and tried and
fired" As proof of the injustice of the trial,
Secretary of the Navy Robson, upon the solicit
tation of Congressman G. Wiley Wells and Sen
ator Bruce OF Mississippi reyie wed the facts in
the case and agreed TO restore Baker to ms
class at the academy, but the latters father re-
fused TO permit his son to return there. The
various papers commenting upon the probable
ity of another appointment of colOred
the inefficiency of those previously appointed
there And for this reason it may not appear
entirely out of place to refer to the fact that
the subsequent careers of those boys would
scarcely Justify such opinions of their capabil-
ity and efficiency Mr.. McClennan left Annap-
oils in 1875; graduated from an academy
in Massachusetts, and subsequently from the
medical department of Howard University in
this city. He is now q very successful lracti-
toner in Charleston, SC. and is respected
citizen of property and influence in that city.
Another one of them, Mr.. Baker, came to this
city. studied law, graduated from the Howard
University law school in 1881. and is now a
second assistant examiner in the Patent Office
at salary of l,600 per annum. He has been
promoted five times since his original appoint
ment and secured his present position as the
result of successive competitive examinations
conducted by the civll-service authorities.
Boys who are cast out from school as ..non-
Efficient don't usually take hold of life in lust
this way. ONE Who KNOWS
