WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-The Navy De-
partment is stirred up over the prospect OF
two colored naval officers. 1t has been
learned that among the young gentlemen
who have presented themselves at the Ma
val Academy. at Annapolis. next week. for
physical examination as to their fitness to
enter the academy. are two very bright
young colored men. One of them is from the
State of California, while the other repre-
sents a Chicago district. Nothing was
known as to their color or antecedents I'M
I'll a day or two ago, because each Of them
received the appointments of their respect
i've Congressman, after having passed at
the head of the list in competitive examina-
ton. Several years ago a colored youth
was appointed as a cadet to Annapolis, and
the authorities of the academy compelled
his white associates 10 treat him with every
official courtesy. Indeed. when. on one oc-
casion, a white cadet from the South, on
being ordered TO fence with the colored
youth, threw down mis- foil and Indignantly
refused TO "cross swords with a Niger"
the white cadet was promptly dismissed
from the academy. Tn colored cadet,
whose name was Conyers, was only of
usual intelligence. however, and at the ex-
aminations of 1876, when he was in his sec
ond year, he was thrown out. Since that
time no colored boys have been at the
academy. The two candidates who will re-
por. next week are not likely, however. TO
fail at any of the mental examinations
which they must undergo during their stay
at the academy. because of the remarkable
intelligence they displayed at the COMPETE
tive examinations, where they won their APP
pointments. Ii, therefore. they are gradu-
ated, as there is every probability, unless
they are found physically deficient next
week, the young naval officers or four
years hence are confronted with the pOsSi-
tility of bunking with colored roommates.
The for the young officers
on the new war ships are circumscribed,
and unless the two colored cadets, when as
signed to their naval stations. can be de-
tailed to the same ship, there are apt to be
some interesting developments in the future
before the two colored cadets ever fly the
admiral's pennant.

AN OCCASION FOR FLAGS.
Importance of Business Houses Dec
Orating the COming Week.

AS the time for the convention draws
near, the question of decorating the city
in honor OF the visitors becomes one of i'm
pOrtance. 1t is usual in cities where ma
tional conventions are held for the mer-
chants to bedeck their stores in the city's
best and show that the coming of the great
crowds is appreciated. Besides those who
come on account of their interest i'm the
convention there will be many who will
come from this State who merely make
this week a convenient time for their trip
SO as to witness q national convention and
at the same time transact business with the
merchants of the city. For these the
decorations will be a means of attracting
business, but aside from that and aside
from any inancia standpoint, decorating
the city at such q time is one of the things
that shows the loyalty of the residents TO
little money when Ii will aid In advertising
the city to those from elsewhere.
In June st. Louis paraded its bunting and
nagS in honor or the coming of the Re-
publicans as guests of the city for a week.
Merchants did not consider the question os
whether they would receive cash in return
for their expense in decorating. although
most of them old receive enough in in
creased sales to much more than repay
them for the outlay. but they considered
the good name of the city and the fact that
the city was the host OF the flower Of the
Nation.
In Chicago the same was observed by Wis
itOrs. There many thousand yards of bun
ting were hung on the various buildings,
making them take on a holiday appear
ance, and showing that even In that great
city, the coming of a national convention
is sufficient to stir the people from their
usual busy habits.
In this city there is not near so much
decorating necessary, but it is important
that unusual efforts be made. Here all the
visitors will enter the city through one
great g~ateway-the. Union S~tation-and
most of them will then go up Meridian or
illinois streets to reach the hotels and
Tomlinson Hall. This relieves the great
necessity of decorating a very large por-
ton of the city. The streets of most i'm
portance would seem to be Meridian and
Illinois streets. from the Union Station TO
Ohio street: Pennsylvania. from Maryland
to Ohio; two or three blocks each of Sen
ate and Capitol avenues and Delaware
and Alabama streets. with the cross streets
within the same section. Probably the four
squares bounded by Washington. Ohio.
Pennsylvania and Illinois streets are the
most important for extensive decorations.
Aside from this. however. the visitors here
will see much of the finest residence por-
ton of the city. and decorations of homes
on the principal improved streets lend 10
the attractiyppeSS of those streets.

equally divided between the two old par

AMERICAN K ABROAD.
British Manufacturer Engaged in
Decrying Our Light Wheels.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-American BIZ
cycles are having a run in Ireland, accord
ing to a report by Vice Consul A. Donne
Piatt, at Dublin. TO the State Department.
He say the cycling press of the entire
United Kingdom is wrought up over the
American INVASION as the advent of
American wheels is called. The British
makers try to show that the lightness of
the American wheel is at the cost of
strength. and that IL will not last. The
points most criticised are the shape Of the
tubes. the form of the wheels. the crank
bracket bearings. the width OF tread. the
chain adjustment. insufficiency of mud
guards. and especially the use of single
tube tires. The use of wooden rims and
light chains are pointed out as points of
weakness. The consul advises that the
American wheels for the English-Irish
market should have a gear case If desired.
Detachable or single-tube tires should be
optional. An easily detachable brake and
mud guard should accompany each ma
chine. At the same time, the consul says,
American manufacturers should refuse to
alter small details of construction. as he
predicts that the foreigners will ultimately
come to recognize the superiority Of the
American machine
