A Number of Changes Recommended by
the Board of Visitors.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The Board of Visit
ors to Annapolis, through its Secretary,
Lieutenant Alexander Sharp, has made a
report to the Secretary of the Navy upon
the results of its visit to the Naval Academy
last June. Among the recommendations by
the board are the following:
That the age of admission to the academy
be fixed from Is to Is years, instead of Is to
90; that the law providing donation of one
years sea pay, amounting to $780, to cadets
not entering the service at the end of the
six years course be repealed: that every
cadet shall be appointed one year in advance
of entrance, except when, by reason of death
or other cause a vacancy occurs, which can
not be provided for by such appoint
ment in advance; and that in each
case an alternate shall be nominated at
the same time; and that q course of study
covering the work of one year preparatory
to admission be recommended to each APP
pointee and alternate as a desirable line of
preparation for admission; and that no cadet
reported deficient in either conduct or
studies and recommended for discharge by
the academic board, shall, unless upon
recommendation from that board, be re-
tanned or reappointed in the academy or ap-
pointed to any place in the navy, until his
class shall have left the academy and re-
celved their commissions.

A THOROUGH ovERHAULING

OF the Keystone and Spring Garden Banks
to Be Made BY Two Experts.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Messrs. Faunce and
Brown, the expert accountants of Philadel-
phia, were at the Treasury Department to-
day and spent several hours in consultation
with Assistant Secretary Nettleton and Con-
troller Lacey, in regard to their investiga-
tion of the Keystone and Spring Garden
National Bank failures. Assistant Secretary
Nettleton instructed them to proceed imme-
diately to a complete and exhaustive exami-
nation of the keystone and Spring Garden
Banks, leaving it to their discretion which
bank will be examined first and whether
they shall work singly or in cooperation.

which is to carry the party is now secretly
engaged in taking aboard a large quantity of
Island Sound. The writer says he does not
want to get himself in trouble, and, above
all, does not want to fight, and, although he
has signed to go on the expedition, he will
withdraw if there is any illegal act in con-
temptation. Officials here are not disposed
to attach much Importance to the communi-
cation, as they believe that filibustering
expedition would be conducted with more
caution than appears to be shown in this
case. They are also puzzled to guess the
destination of the party if it should be of
warlike intent, but the chances are even
that it is meant to aid a revolution in either
Haiti or Mexico.

EVANS MAY BE CHIEF ENGINEER.
A Report That He VIII Assume the Duties
of the New Executive Office.


of the New Executive Office.
The question of who shall become the new
head Of the Bureau of Fire has assumed q
new phase since yesterdays meeting Of
Councils. 1t was stated last night that
Samuel N. Evans, who but recently resigned
the position of superintendent fthe bureau,
would be its next head under the title OF
Chief Engineer. Common Councilman Big
ham during yesterdays meeting stated that
the new Chief Engineer would have execu-
tive power over the bureau, looking after
the buildings, apparatus and men, but the
supervision of u fire would be part OF the
duty of the Assistant Chief Engineer In
whose district it occurred.
Chief Brown has several times stated that
the proper place for Mr.. Evans was not in
the direction of the men at fires, but in look
ing after other affairs of the bureau. This
latter Is just what Mr.. Bigelow said the duty
of the new official would be.
1t is said that Mr.. Evans, having resigned
the position of fsupepintendento of the Bureau
OF Fire, which will no longer exist If the
Mayor signs the ordinance passed yesterday,
can be appointed Chief Engineer, with the
same duties Chief Brown desired to give
him when he advocated making the new Of
flee of Fire Director at a considerably in
creased salary.

HAS TO LOSE HIS LEG.

Police Captain Unterbaum Suffering From
Serious Injury.
Captain Henry Unterbaum, of the First
police district is lying at his home in a very
critical condition. Some weeks ago, while
arresting a man on the hill, the Captain had
a hard tussle, and the two rolled about over
the pavement. During the scuffle the Cap
tains left knee cap was hurt 1t appeared a
trif11ng injury and he kept right on at duty
Two weeks ago the wound began to grow
worse and it is now in bad condition. Ply
sicians say they will probably have to am
putate the leg in order to prevent death
from blood poisoning.

THE FROZEN MEAT TRADE.
1t Is Likely to Become One of Australia's
Great Sources of Wealth.

1t Is Likely to Become One of Australia's
Great Sources of Wealth.
Recent statistics show an enormous de-
velopment of the frozen meat trade between
New Zealand and England. In 1882 the
number of frozen sheep exported to Eng
land was only $3.50. In 1890 the number
had risen to 1,562,647. Curiously enough,
the frozen meat trade in Australia has not
expanded in anything like the same degree
as in New Zealand, but a leading Sydney
journal anticipates that "what with the
steady reduction in the cost of freezing and
freights, the spread of the taste for frozen
mutton at home, and the inevitable increase
of our focks and herds we have good rea-
son to see in the food requirements of Eng
land and Europe an almost untouched and
inexhaustible mine OF wealth for Au-
stralia."

THE BERING SEA ARBITRATOR.
A Call on Blaine That Makes 1t Look Like
the Sultan of Turkey.

rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The arrival of
Mavoreyni Bey, Turkish Minister to the
United States, at Bar Harbor has created a
great deal of comment in diplomatic circles
here to-day. 1t is generally understood, of
course, that Mr.. Blaine is not at present
taking a very active part in the diplomatic
affairs of the country, but it has been known
for long time that Mr.. Blaine has always
favored the Sultan of Turkey as the arbitTa-
tor in the matter of the Bering Sea contro-
versy, provided the dispute is submitted to
arbitration.
1t is looked upon as foregone conclusion
that arbitration will be resorted to to settle
dispute, and as nearly all the European
rulers have complications of one kind or
another which would naturally bias their
Judgment, with the exception of the Sultan,
it is quite generally thought that Mavoreyni
Bey may have some business in connection
with the Bering Sea affair to discuss with
Mr.. Blaine and that this fact may account
for his present visit to Bar Harbor.

A. Lady Arrested for Taking What to Her
Was an Ordinary Medicine.

was an ordinary medicine.
A lady entered Smithfield street drug
store yesterday afternoon and purchased q
bottle of laudanum. She Mortified the clerk
by pouring out more than a teaspoonful of
the drug and swallowing it with as little con-
Germ as one would take q dose of cough syrup.
The clerk Immediately decided the lady was
would-be suicide, so he ran to the telephone
and notified Inspector McAleese, who
had the lady brought to Central station.
There she explained that she was accustomed
to taking even larger doses of the drug. and
that it had very little effect upon her except
to relieve intense pain to which she was sub
ject. In speaking of it last night the In
spector said:
at was mistake of the drug clerk, but
natural one. 1 am perfectly satisfied the
lady was only taking what was to her an
ordinary dose of medicine, though it was
enough to kill two or three persons unac-
customed to the drug. Her naIne of course,

it would be an outrage on respectable
family to publish it,

CHINESE AS EMPLOYERS.
Bright White Women and Girls Working
for Them in Canning Fruit.

rsrEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
SAN FRANCISCO, July "a curious spectacle
is presented in the large fruit canning estab-
lishment on Stockton street, in this city.
The place is carried on by Chinese, who
employ from 80 to 40 white women and girls,
in addition to as many Chinese hands. The
fruit cutting is all done by women, who are
neat and bright Italians and Portuguese.
They do not seem to think it strange that
they are working for Chinese masters as
they are we'll treated and well paid.
The cannery is clean and well managed
and it gets the best of fruit, as the mana
gers pay about ~ cents more a pound for
fruit than the combine of white canneries.
1t simply demonstrates that when the
Chinese go into manufacturing they can
beat Americans on their own ground.

Manager Harry Davis Pushed by Unfriendly
Rivals in Cincinnati.

Rivals in Cincinnati.
Harry Davis was in town yesterday, hav-
ing arrived from Cincinnati to see his
friends here. He returned last night. He
said that the trouble arose over the way his
rivals pushed him in Cincinnati, where the
competition for business is very keen.
He said he had invested about $35,0O0
in the grove, and that as the
investment was profitable he could
have paid off every claim against him if he
had not been pushed by his competitors. He
said there would be meeting of his credit
ors at Attorney C. n. Bakers office to-day,
and he expected to settle with them very
easily. His assets, he said, were far above
his liabilities, but they were tied up and not
readily available.
1t was to protect his interests here that he
confessed judgment to Frank Mccain.
Three more attachments were taken out
against Mr.. Davis yesterday in Cincinnati
for small amounts. The executions entered
here are for SS,072 80 at the suit of Frank
McCann and 1873 43 at the suit of Samuel j.
Little.

COLUMBUS, July 9.-W. j. Elliott, the de-
fendant in the great murder trial, took the
witness stand to-day IN his own behalf. He
first gave a history of himself, saying ne
came from Ireland in 1868; spent a day in
New York. and then went to Lynn, Mass,
and joined the Fifty-ninth Massachusetts
Regiment. He spoke of several light
wounds which he received in the war, and
touched briefly on his career as a Fenian
after the Rebellion. He said he was known
i'll that movement as F. n. Cavanaugb, and
was registered at the British prison as a con-
spirator against the British Government un-
der that assumed name.
In explanation of the assumed name, he
said the Fenian authorities in New York
gave it to him so as not to involve the
American Government in event of capture
He claimed that on the Sunday before COM
mitting the murder he was watching news
boys instead of waiting for Osborn, his vic
tim. He said he had been warned to look
out for Osborn, the latter having made
threats against his life. The examination
