PUMPING EARTH FOR a LEVEE.
Interesting Experiment Being Made
by Engineers on the Mississinni.


by Engineers on the Mississippi.
Lieutenant Roche of the United
States engineer corps. who was in
charge of the levee district below New
Orleans. has been trying a plan of
building levees with Il hydraulic pump
a. point sixty miles below the city.
If the experiment is the complete sue
cess that is claimed for it it would re-
duce the cost of leyee construction To
minimum, and save the people of
the lower Mississippi valley hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually.
The idea is not altogether new, but
the difficulty was in holding the mix
ture of water and river mud thrown
up on the shore by the dredge. This
has finally been overcome by means
of planking. which keeps the mixture
within a limited territory. The plank
ing leaked at first. but the use of will
lows stopped the leaks. and the expert
menr is now a success.
The leyecS in Lieutenant Roche'S dis
trict are being built not by manual la

TWO cOL0RED CADETS
Receive Appointments to the
 Annapolis Academy.
TROUBLE IS ALREADY PREDICTED

Naval Officers Do Not Take We'll to
 Their Coming, and if They Stand the
 Entrance Examination the Officers Fear
 Disturbances-only Three Gtaer Such
 Instances Are on Record.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Information has come to the navy department of the appointment of two colored boys as cad cts to the Annapolis academy, and that permission has been given them to ap- pear for the entrance examinations next week. These two boys are said to have entered competitive examinations and, being successful over large number of white boys, were designated by the con gressmen and they are now on their way to Annapolis.
 If it is true that colored boys are to contest with others for admission to the navy, it will be the first time in many years, and if admitted there may be an outbreak among the corps of cadets such as followed 20 years ago, and led not only to the expulsion of the colored ca det, but of several white boys
 There have been three instances in the history of Annapolis where oolored men have appeared for admission and but one has passed the examination and become cadet After two years work, however, he failed to meet the requirements and was dismissed because of this fact and because of some trou- ble that he had with members of his class. Colored boys, naval officers say. can never be welcome to Annapolis, and they say that it would be very unfor- tunate should one be graduated and ap- pointed commissioned officer.
 At West Point, however, several col ored cadets have been admitted, and three have been appointed in the line of the army One is now a second lieu tenant of oolored infantry regiment in the west. At both institutions, oolored cadets have invariably caused trouble among ths c01;ssss, ending in the dismissal of several cadets.
 The last eolored boy appointed to An napolis came from Congressman Mur- rayas district in South Carolina, and failed on two entrance examinations. Previous to that time no colored boy had appeared at Annapolis for 15 years, and none had been admitted since Cadet Conyers failed to complete the course in 1876.
 Admiral Ramsay, when informed thas two colored boys had been nominated, expressed regret that congressman were so foolish, and predicted an outbreak of hazing if the new men were admitted The new candidates are said to be from Illinois and the Pacific coast.
 It is asserted that conditions are diff ferent in the army, and that while a colored officer might be tolerated in the army, he would not be tolerated in the navy There are four colored regiments in the army to which colored officers, when commissioned, are appointed. In the navy, however, there are no ships manned by eolored men, and colored of ficers would be placed i'll command of white men It is openly asserted by both army and navy officers that no white Americans will submit to being commanded by colored men.
