Large.

The mental examination of alternates,
whose principals failed in the trial for
admission as cadets of the Naval Acad.
emy began today.
Only about O. per cent. of those exam :
ined met the requirements, and unless
the alternates are more successful the

ed. OF the 81 candidates reporting but
o. have passed. and these will be ad-
mitted at once. All remaing vacancies
will be filed by the supplemental ex-
aminatiens next week and in September.
Under the present system vacancies
occur every tour years. instead OF six,
and this results IN larger representation
at the school and also increases the an
nual number of graduates for commits
stoned rank. There are now upwards of
$50 places in the lower grades of the
navy and but 70 members to be assigned
this year. leaving large surplus. which
at the present rate Of graduation may
never be filled. It has been urged that
Senators should be given the privilege of

two years ago. but Congress has been
averse TO accepting the suggestion.
