New York, July 31.-John II. Keat-

ident of the Ancient Order of Hibern-
ians, was given a reception by the
Clan-na-Gael at Cooper Union. Keat-
ing. who has just arrived from Ire
land, delivered the address at the an
nual pilgrimage to the grave of the
leader in 1893 of the United Irishmen,
Theobald Wolfe Tone, at BodenStown,
Ireland, on June 21. upon the invita-
ton of the NationalistS of ireland, and
was attacked for the speech by the
organs of the Parliamentary party,
which declared that Keating did not
speak as the representative of any one
in the United States. The reception
was intended as an answer to that
charge.
The resolutions adopted indorse the
speech that was condemned by the
Parliamentary party. and declare that
it spoke "for us and our brethren
throughout the world" The resolution
then goes on to declare THAT Ire
lands true interests will be best served
by a steady, resOlute and progressive
policy of organization among her own
people the world over, and the cultiva-

NO NEGROES AT ANNAPOLIS
Cadets "Have Their Own Way" of Dealing
with the Color Line,

No negro has ever been graduated
from Annapolis Naval academy. Only
three have succeeded in passing the
entrance examinations, but none of
them got farther than the end of the
first year. In 1874 Henry f. Baker
was appointed from South Carolina.
At the semi-annual examinations he
was reported deficient, but was given
chance to make up. At the annual
examinations he was again deficient
and was turned back to the lower
class. In November. 1879. Baker was
dismissed fer applying u vile and pro-
fame epithet to a classmate next to
whom he was sitting at the mess ta-
BILE. Two others have tried and failed.
The cadets have their own ways of
dealing with the race problem. and
people who have read the evidence
given before congressional investigat-
ing committees as to hazing practices
will understand why negro midship-
men do not remain longer. Whatever
may be the practice in the army. it
has come to be the unwritten law that
there shall be no cOlOred officer in the
y.
Annapolis academy. This unwritten
law is justified by navy men on the
ground that it would not be possible
on board ship to contine the cOlored
officer to the command of colored men,
as can be don on land.
Whether the prejudice against the
''niggers" of our country will extend
to the dark natives of Hawaii, Porto
Rico aud the Philippine islands is not
yet apparent Congress has decreed
that cadets from Porto Rico shall be
natives" but the candidates for ap-
pOintment to both naval and military
academy, so far named, have failed
to pass the entrance examinations.
Last year Hawaii was represented in
the naval academy by the son of a
regular officer in the navy, Lieutenant
Commander Charles +. Pond. This
year Ellis LandO passed the examina-
tions held in Hawaii. and is now on
his way to report to the academy.
