mess men, accompanied by delega-

master-General Gary to urge an aP-
propriation to continue the fast mail
over the Western Maryland Railroad
from Baltimore to Hagerstown, from
whence it is served to large section

The party was most courteously re-
ceived, and the Postmaster-General as

be secured for that purpose.
At the meeting of the Board of Re-
gents and principals of the State nor

which was attended by Prof. A. c.
Kimler, of this place, the course OF
study in the normals was raised and
some of the more elementary studies
/
were stricken out. Hereafter THERE
will be no preparatory department to
the normal schools and students must
enter the first class before they will be
admitted. There will be four full nor
NAL years instead of one preparatory
and three normal years, as heretofore.
Such studies as music and drawing
intermediate geography, State history
and Rays third arithmetic, which are
thoroughly taught in the normal
schools, are left out, and two full years

been added to the normal course.

COLOR LINE In THE NAVY.
Abusive Letters to Patrons of Col
ored Cadets.

Representative George e White, of the
Fifth Congressional district of Illinois,
has brought upon himself a deluge of
offensive letters most of them anony-
NOUS, because he nominated John w.
Smith, coiored, for cssletslfp at the
Naval Academy at Annapolis
Il may be Imagined that many Of these
letters are Inspired by the cadets at An
napoiis and their friends, though the ca
dets themselves are preserving order and
have been guilty OF no offensive conduct
They have made no protest to the Navy
Department, as this act might result in
the dismissal OF the protesting cadet.
The Navy people generally are content
ing themselves with the hope that the
candidate may not pass the exandnation
prescribed for entrance to the academy.
John william Smith is bright and en-
ergetic. He secured a rudimentary edn-
cation In the public schools of Chicago
and one year go entered upon the course
at the West Division High School of that
city. He rapidly took precedence above
bis fellow students in the matter of studies
and was well liked personally. When the
offer OF the nomination to cadetship was
might not be able TO pass the physical ex-
amin alton.
He was examined by the surgeon at the
recruiting office OF the United States Army
at Chicago and found 60 be sound and OF
requisite measurements.
When the candidate left for the East he
was escorted TO the railroad station by
crowd of his schoolrnates and friends and
caeered as the train rolledout.
Several stories are afloat as to the mo-
tive which prompted Representative White
to make this unusual nomination. One
story runs that Representative White
called on s b. Turner, a colored politician
who is employed in the grain inspectors s
office, told him he wanted to do some
thing for his coiored constituents, and If
they could agree on boy he would name
him Smith was chosen.
The nomination was sent In the usual
way to the Secretary OF the Navy and the
candidates name was recorded. He was
duly notified to present himself for ex-
animation at Annapolis The Navy De-
partment has no official information con-
cerning the color of the candidate, and
disclains any race prejudice.
The law makes no distinction as to
color When a coIored youth is nominated
the officials of the Navy Department are
totally ignorant OF his color until the in
formation is supplied from the candidates
home. or in the shape of protests from the
cadets or their friends.
It is said that Representative White
has nominated five white youths for the
cadetshp from his district, and that each
bos failed under examination
There is q suggestion that the Naval
Academy examiners will make the ex-
amin alton so stiff that young Smith
cannot stand it. The officials deny,
though, any disposition to discriminate
against the candidate because OF his color.
Representative Shattuc of Ohio is also
receiving many unkind letters because he
nominated R. C. Bundy, colored, as cadet
from Ohio. Young Bundy won his NOM
ination in mpettive examination

John l.. Kennedy Reimbursed for
Time Lost During His Suspension.
Mr.. w " Garrett, the new secretary of
Columbia Typographical Union, No 1O1.
was duly installed at the meeting of the
union held yesterday afternoon.
The most important matter Considered
by the union was resolution 10 appro-
pirate S21 to recunpense Mr.. John Ken
nedy for time lost about two years ago on
account of the caneeling OF his working
card
According to the laws of Columbia Union
1t required a nine-tenths vote of those
present to pass any appropriation bill in
volving such an amount Of money. After =
lively running debate between several Of
the more prominent members of the union
the resolution was adopted By a practically
unanimous vote.
The report OF the delegates from the Cen
.Iai Labor Union In reference to the boy
cotting one OF the local steamboat
companies was brought up but no action was
taken further than to refer the matter to
the grievance Committee. II is the opin-
ion Of several prominent members that the
union viii not indorse the boycott
The annual election for officers of the
union, which will take place in July. is
already being discussed. 1t Is said there
VIII be lively fight over the presidency,
and already several candidates are on
still hunt for votes IL is not expected
that Mr.. Garrett, who was chosen TO fill
the unexpired term OF Mr. Charles II.
Robinson, will have any opposition.

Sugar and Justice.

Under ordinary circumstances normal IN
terest in the Haverneyer and SearIes cases,
which are to be tried this week, would
be smothered by the Cuban crisis likely TO
occur in the Senate. 1t happens, however.
that there is a very close relation between
the two things, and that. therefore, the
proceedings in court will not be lost sight
OF by the public. Among the strong and
the sugar trust has been and is almost
pre-eminent Mr. Edwin T. Atkins, for
meIly and possibly still the American
secretary of state for Cuban affairs, is
in partnership with Mr.. Have.neyer IN
extensive sugar operations ON the Island
of Cuha. Together they are connected with
and Spanish bonds in that country. They
and their native and British associates and
connections have been able to fight The
only effective hattie that Spain can boast
Of during the entire war.
But for their influence in preventing
Intervention by this Government. the
Spaniards would have been compelled to
evaCuate Cuba a year ago. Nothing has
made it possible for Spain TO maintain
the semblance OF a hold on the island
but the support OF the United States. Even
If we had refused recognition, but re-
Trained from lending our Navy to Weyler.
the result would have been the same.
What a commentary it Is upon the dece-
dence OF American Governmental Ideals
that the sordid interests or one OF the
chief contributors to the Republican cam
patgn fund Of 1896 should weigh more
in tho balance OF our national honor than
the liberty of brave people at our gates
fighting under conditi Of unutterable
horror, and under our very eyes.
If Mr.. Mckinley is wise, he win lose no
time in removing this stain from the
national hammer. The country is learning
too much regarding the inside history OF
the Arnericau-Sp spanish alliance. There must
be change. or there will be trouble.

AHvOTE KILLED TEN MEN.
An Indian Murderer Shot Dead by
Members of His Tribe.

San Francisco, May 16.-A Kingman,
Ariz., special says: Ahvote, a Piute Indian,
VINO, In the last three days, murdered
ten miners and teamsters along the Colo
ra6o River, has been shot dead by mem
bers of his own tribe. The Indians Were
warned by the miners IL they did nothunt
down and xiii Ahvote, the whole tribe
would be annhilated
Eight years ago a brother OF Ahvote
killed n mail rider. The whites demanded
that the murderer be killed, and Ahvote
was ordered by the tribe to kin linn and
bring back convincing proof that he had
executed the order he brought in one toe
and partof an ear, but the whites said he
must tring better proof. Two days after
ward he brought the head OF his brother
Since then Ahvote has lived apart from
the tribe and was hermit, sullen and re-
vengefui. He swore when drunk that he
would yet have the white mans blood for
his brothers life.
Three days ago he started on a whole
sale numbering trip. He ranged up and
down the river picking off two teaTns:ers
first. and then several prospeCtors who
lived alone in remote camps He gave
none of them a chance for their lives, but
shot all of them down from ambush.
The Indians of his tribe followed his trail
and killed him as he was escaping up the
canyon.

This explanation will show the serious
ness of the new Developments reported
yesterday These include evidence that
Russia, Germany, and Austria have sue
ceeded in effecting an alliance with France
against Great Britain, and from now on
will proceed to apply humillating pressure
1t is expected that Russia will insist upon

same friendly manner that England now
occupies Egypt. AS soon as that Is ar
ranged, Russia, Germany and France will
jointly order England out OF Egypt, and
declare the complete independence of the

Col Aguirre was an American citizen,
who lived for many years In this country.
His brothers were killed in the previous
Cuban war and his nephew George Wash
ington Aguirre, was recently released from
a Cuban prison after many months con-
finement, his case having been the sub
ject OF long debate in the Senate.

In Europe and Asia the opinion grows
that Japan is seriously preparing for an
ultimate struggle with Russia. Japan has
already regarded Korea as her dependency,
and the practical occupation of that
country by the Car is particularly gall
ing, as it has prevented Japan from realiz-
ing the results earned In the war with
China. The increase of the japanese navy,
which is being prosecuted with yigor has
this warlike eventuality in view.
