A Negro Loses His Chance.

WASHINGTON. Sept. S.-One of the two
negroes nominated for cadetship at Annap-
oils has lost his chance of appointment
This is ]. S. Smith, who was named by
Representative George White. of Chicago,
to represent the Fifth Illinois district at the
Naval Academy. Smith was to have been
examined some time ago, but at his own
request the time was extended to Sept. l
in order to afford him further opportunity
for preparation for his studies. He failed
however, to appear at Annapolis for exam
ination last Wednesday, and the Navy De-
partment being so informed, the person
named from the Fifth Illinois district as an
alternate has been directed to appear for
examination. He is Ernest Schoeten also
of Chicago, and has been allowed ten days
in which to appear. If ne passes the exam
nation he will receive the appointment
which was within the reach of Smith. The
other negro nominee, Bundy is now under
examination at the academy and it is ex-
pected that this will consume several days.
Meanwhile, it will not be known whether or
not he has passed unless ne fails signally
in some important branch.
