EFFECT OF A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE
NAVAI APPROPRIATION Bill.


Washington May u (SpecaD.-More rapid prog
ress would have been made In the consideration Of
the Naval Appropriation bill in the House Of Repre-
sentatives to-day II II had not been for the desire
and anxiety OF certain Democrats 10 shear the Sec

appoint cadets at the Naval Academy. young
men who are residents Of the Congress districts
from which they are officially accredited. As Is
generally known. a Representative in Congress has
the right under the law 70 nominate one candi-
date and alternate for a cadetshp. He does
this after notification from the head Of the Navy
Department. and II b. fails 20 do the Secretary
OF the Navy himself names the candidate.
bert took Office that the notices TO Congressman
have miscarriei-in one case letters OF inquiry from
the Representative appear not to have reached the
department-an1 the consequence has been that the
Secretary Of the Navy has filed the vacancies by
the appointment Of young men, not from The dis
trcts OF the Representatives who were construed 20
be In default. but from his State other
satisfaction. and to-day when Mr.. Maddox. 81

providing that none Of the money appropriated
should be used FOR the support Of cadets not APP
pointed in pursuance Of law. the sympathies OF a
majority OF the members present seemed 70 be With
Texas, sharply censured the Of the Demo
cratic Secretary Of the Navy. and the prospect
when the House adjourned seemed 70 be that the
bill would carry a prOvisO fOrbldding practice
which. In the opinion Of majority Of the Repre-
sentatives, has become an abuse.
