CADET BARRACKS AT ANNAPOLIS.
Mr.. Cannon Puts n Condition On the
ApprOpriatiOn.

The House spent practically the entire
day Yesterday debating proposition
in the naval bill designed to turn
over to the navy the survey and chart
ing of the waters of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines The bill carried an APP
preparation of sloo, 600 for this purpose. MIR.
Cannon, chairman of the appropriations
committee led the fight against it, argu-
ing that such surveying Of these waters
as should be made should be performed by
the coast and geodetic survey, which, he
said, could do the work cheaper and better.
In the end the House sustained his view,
adopting an amendment offered by him to
appropriate only the regular $4,000 for
ocean surveys.
The chairman of the committee of the
whole, Mr. Payne, overruled the point of
order against the appropriation for the new
Naval Academy, but an amendment offered
by Mr.. Cannon was adopted, providing that
before the money appropriated by the bill
for the academy be expended, plans for the
whole Improvement, the cost not to exceed
Sc, 600, 600 be submitted and approved by
the Secretary of the Navy.
Mr.. Cannon moved an amendment to limit
the total cost of the proposed improve
ments at Annapolis Qncluding the money

already expended and appropriated in this
biiD to $6OO0,OOO.
Mr.. Mudd (Md) reserved a point of order
against the amendment.
Mr.. Cannon said he had been informed
that the architects plans for the improve
ment complete involved a total expenditure
of $12000,O00. The cadet barracks which
were to house 245 boys, were to cost S.
100000 This was beyond all reason, ne
said, and he modified his amendment to
also provide for the reduction of limit of
cost of the cadet barracks from 81 500, 600
to 81 600, 900.
Mr.. Mudd defended the proposed improve
ments at Annapolis. The navy was to
grow. There would be more cadets at the
academy, and it was proper that the tnsti-
tuition should be worthy of the great SER
vice into which the young men were to
graduate.
Mr.. Hill Comm supported the amendment
and assailed the extravaganza Of the COM
nittee.
Mr.. Dayton (W.Va.) defended the commit
tee. He said the House was responsible for
the great expenditure proposed at Anuapo-
lis. Congress had embarked upon the pro-
ject and If it was to be carried out the
appropriation in the bin must stand. The
committee had not approved of the origi-
nal project. In the course of his remarks
Mr.. Dayton said the architect, il he received
per cent of the cost of the buildings
would receive between s100, 900 and $500, coo.
After considerable debate Mr.. Cannon Of
fered substitute for his original amend
ment to appropriate $3.50, 900 for the cadet
barracks, providing that before any of the

HAGERSTOWN NEWS GRIST.
Coal Rising in Price Color Line
Drawn at CarItsIe-
of The Evening Star.

special Correspondence of The Evening Star,
HAGERSTOWN, Nd, April 10, 1900
Great interest is being manifested here
over the miners strike in the Georges
Creek region by Hagerstown coal dealers
some of whom have only limited supply
OF coal on hand While famine is not
threatened. there may be a scarcity of coal
II the strike is prolonged. Nearly all the
dealers here laid in large stocks in March
before the advance in freight rates and the
consequent advance in the prices Of soft
coal. The schedule fixed upon by local
dealers some days ago puts the price of run
of mine at 800 a ton, rise of 60 cents
over the schedule of last fall. Lykens val
ley nut, hard coal. however, is now only
$3.50 a ton. against s5.S5, the price on the
previous card.
The boatmen on the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal are feeling the effects of the strike
most seriously, as no coal is being loaded
at cumberland for shipment, except gas
coal from the Fairmont region which has
been diverted from the railroads to the
canal. and is coming forward quite freely
ana Will continue to do So thus preventing
the canal from becoming entirely idle
The color line has been drawn in the
high school of our neighDor, at Carlisle
ana has already given rise to some unpleas-
antness IN the graduating class which
numbers twenty-nlne young men and wo-
men. The white pupils are determined that
the colored students shall not participate
in the class-day exercises and have so
expressed themselves to the board of con-
troll. The board decided that the colored
pupils must be admitted to the class-day
exercises. and if this is hot satisfactory to
the whites they will abolish the custom of
having these exercises. The white pupils
have decided to hold no class exercises in
which colored pupils would be allowed to
participate.
The will Of the late Rev. Isaac Shank of
Greencastle, which has been admitted TO
probate shows the estate to amount to
