Congressman Shattuck Creates a Breeze
at Annapolis by Appointing
coIored ccdaf


WASHINGTON, D. c., April 14.-There
is likely to be big rumpus in naval
circles. Representative Shattuck of Ohio
to-day. appointed r. c. Bundy, the sue
cessful colored boy in the competitive ex-
animation, for naval cadet at Annapolis.
General Shattuck also sent a copy of the
order to Secretary Long of the navy and
notified him that he had appointed
Buudy.
Representative Shattuck anticipates a
strug 10 with the naval academy over this
stand by Bundy to the end and will see
that his rights are respected and that his
treatment is fair and on equality with
other cadets.
As soon as it became known that Bundy
was likely TO be appointed protests came
from the Annapolis cadets, some of them
threatening TO resign. General Shattuck
said TO THE CALL CORES espondent tonight: /:
I'VE shall see whether the cadets will
resign Or not. II they make any trouble
for Bundy, or curtail his rights or privi-
Ieges in the least, / shall introduce a reso-
luton in Congress to investigate the
matter and the Naval Academy and ascer-
tain il there is law against colored boys
being made cadets. don't care what the
unwritten law is. II they don't want to
receive a colored boy they must make a
rule to that effect and stand by 1t. l am
not going to desert my appontee. have
appointed Bundy and intend to see that
he gets his place, whether the cadets re-
sign or not"
General Shattuck was quite indignant
at the threat from Annapolis and says he
will fight the battle to the end.

OMAHA, NEBR., April 1.-THE food
situation here is critical. The turbulent
Missouri is spreading over thousands of
acres. To-day the river has risen between
Sand inches and the effect is plain in the
North Omaha bottoms and in lower places
in East Omaha Valley. Two streams that
for thirty-six hours have been pouring
into the cutoff lake have made the lake
about four feet higher than yesterday. 1t

Commander Mullaa did not grant the
use OF the steam launch as freely as dld
his predecessor, and when they applied to
him for use of the dancing hall he de-
clared that he would not risk blowing up
the powder magazine, which was IN close
proximity.
So, being deprived of their favorlte
pastime of boating and dancing, the
naval officers and their wives resorted 10
snake stories and scandal. Naturally
enough, the unobliging and non-aristo-
cratic Commander Mullan was the trstvic-
tim of their gossip. 1t was reported that, in
the absence of his wife, he was paying
noticeable attention 10 a very beautiful
young girl who lives in the neighbor-
hood. The navy-yard reservation en-
braces a good many acres of land that is
by sufferance occupied by "squatters. T"

and others have been In times past. The
lady in question, beautiful girl of is
years, is daughter of a former employe
of the yard. Her people are 'plain but
respectable She is said 10 be of very
lively disposition, however, and the
friendship between Commander M Mullan
and herself caused female tongues at the
Pensacola yard to wag furicus!y.
Soon navy circles the whole country
over were thrown into excitement by an
article appearing in Town Topics of New

This article was published on January

ous allegations which seemed TO fit Com
mander Mullan's case. 1t related the
story of the commandant of "a certain
navy-yard situated on the Gulf of Mex
leo, whose gay conduct with other women
in the bsence OF his wife (who no longer
lived with him) had created lot of talk
in naval circles. 1t was alleged that while
the commandant was exceedingly chary
about authorizing the use of the navy

and their wives he granted its use freely

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 14.-Sec-

Michael was for years editor and compiler

secretary to Senator Henderson. Last
summer he compiled a report on the
workings of the tariff bill which was used
as campaign document by the Repub-
lican National Committee. He never
served in any capacity under the State
Department and his appointment is a big
surprise to its officials. Renick was made
chief clerk by Gresham, having been ad-
vanced from the head of the statistics
bureau. He halls from Georgia, and it
was thought that the civil service rule
fully protected him. This makes the

VIENNA. AUSTRIA, April 1.-THE EN-.
peror has privately sanctioned the elec-

to the Burgomastership OF Vienna. 1t is
expected that his election will be gazetted
on Sunday.
On April 8 the municipal council, by a
vote of 93 to 80, elected Lueger Burgo-
master for the fourth time. The first time
he declined to accept, because the ma
iority was not large enough. His second
election was annulled by the Emperor,
who Is strongly opposed to the anti
Semitic agitation. When elected the third
time he was advised by the Emperor TO
RESIN, which he did. Herr Strohbach
was elected in his stead, with the under
standing that he would retire when the
time was propitious ior another election
of Lueger. The recent general elections
in Austria showed that there was an op-
portnnity to place Lueger in Office, and on
March 81 Strohbach resigned and the elec-
tion of DR.. Lueger followed.

would b required for the Chinese exhibit.
Colonel Reeve rendered his opinion this
afternoon. He holds that the law Id not
contemplate the admission of the popula-
ton of the Chinese empire, and that
ample authority is contained in it for the
Secretary of the Treasury to use his dis
cretlon in determining how many Chi
nese are necessary to successfully main
tain Chinese exhibit at Nashville. The
solicitor maintains that the Secretary may
admit as few or as many Chinese as he
sees fit.
Secretary Gage, backed by the solicitor $

instruct the Collector at Penn bina TO as

the party has concession from the ex-

The opinion of the solicitor has relieved
the minds OF the officials charged with
enforcing the exclusion law. Information
has been received to the effect that at
least 700 Chinese would claim admission
as artisans, laborers and exhibitors. The
broad phraseology of the acs gave them a

For some years tiie superintendent OF the
