ANXIOUS ABOUT THE SEVERN.
The Tug Standish Was Sent to Look
Her Up.
ecial Dispatch to The Star.

cpecldl bIspdtcH u lHe StdT.
ANNAPOLIS, September 1T is under
stood from unofficial but authoritative
sources that the practice ship Severn of the
navy had her troubles in getting to this
city and completing the last lap of her sum-
mer cruise. The Severn was the last of the
ships to reach Annapolis. and the tug Stand
ish had, it is understood, been sent outside
the -capes to look her up before she was
finally reported inside the capes. According
to the story, the Severn missed the entrance
to the Chesapeake completely and came
near winding up on Cape Hatteras on Sun
day of last week. Although nothing was
said at the time, it is known that 'conSid-
cradle uneasineSs was felt at the academy
for the safety of the Severn. Some of those
who were aboard of her say that the eX
perience in Saturday and Sundays gale was
far from pleasant.
Three additional candidates wEo previous
ly passed all mental examinations. but
whose cases have been held up TO await the
outcome of minor surgical operations, were
today admitted to the Naval Academy as
members of the new fourth class OF mldshp
men. They are Daniel A. McEIduff of New
York city, Zachary Lausdowne of Green
vile, Ohio, and Benjamin f. Tllley, jr., of
Annapolis, son of Commander Tilley, COM
manding the battleship Iowa of the North
Atantic fleet.
The monitor Terror, Lieut. Commander
William F. Fullam in command, it is ex-
pected will sail from the Naval Academy
some time this afternoon for the League
Island navy yard, where she will be placed
In reserve. The cruisers Newark, Command
er Charles ]. Badger, and the Atlanta Com
mander William F. Halsey, two other YES
sells Of the mdshpmen's summer cruising
squadron. will probably not get away before
Monday.
The sailing cruiser Severn the midship-
mems training Ship will be placed out of
commission on Tuesday next and will re-
main at the Naval Academy.
The government tug Standsh which Is
used as a dispatch boat at the Naval Acad-
envy, sailed this morning for the New York
navy yard. where she will be repaired. The
repairs consist of two new and modern
boilers to replace the ones which she now
uses which, after test. have been found
to be unsatisfactory.
The order which was promulgated at the
Naval Academy last week directing all the
seamen and bandmen who are shipped
aboard the Santee to attend a general mess
on that ship and forbidding the payment to
them of communication of rtions has been
countermanded by Secretary Bonaparte for
thirty days in order that he may investigate
the subject more thoroughly.

RESISTS ARREST.
Nicholas Owens in Custody, With Sew
eral Charges Against Him.

Lieut.. r. B. Doyle of the third precinct
station was involved in fight with a large
colored man at the corner of 10th and NJ
streets northwest about $3.50 o'clock yester
day afternoon Although much smaller In
stature, the lieutenant held his own with his
assailant, and with the help of Bicycle
Officer Rollins. who came to his assistance,
he placed the man under arrest and took
him to the station house. where he was
locked up. Three charges have been placed
against him. two for assault and one for
disorderly conduct.
At the time of the trouble the lieutenant
was an errand in citizens clothes When
he came to the corner of 10Th and NJ streets
he saw two men engaged in an alterca ton
which threatened to lead to further trouble.
The corner is said to be often the lounging
place of desperate characters. and the two
in the alteration are reported to have been
of that kind. The lieutenant determined
that he would prevent further trouble, and
he went up to one of the men, who held a
brick in his hand, and showing his badge
as police officer, the lieutenant informed
the colored man that he was under arrest.
Il don't care If you are forty policemen,
you cannot arrest me-" was the response.
Lieut. Doyle saw that physical force was
necessary and adopted that means of over
coming the Obstreperous individual, but he
resisted, and a strenuous fight followed, the
colored man landing several blows on the
neutenantS lace and abdomen. The latter
had an umbrella with him and with that
he tried to protect himself.
The lieutenant was easily holding his own
against the larger man, but Policeman Roll
Inns came TO his aid and the colored man
soon in custody.
After the arrest it was learned that the
offender, who gave his name as Nicholas
Owens, had had trouble with the proprietor
of a pool room, in front of which the other
trouble occurred, and charge of assault
a I,lJraj
the charge OF disorderly conduct was added
by the lieutenant.
The lieutenant was not seriously injured,
although he was bruised about the face
