FOR USE OF MIDSHIPMEN.
Fleet of Fourteen Naval Vessels Will
Assemble at Annapolis.

Within a short time there will be assem-
bled at Annapolis the largest fleet of war
ships ever assigned to duty at the Naval
Academy. This fleet VIII consist of four
teen vessels, including the monitors Flor
ida, Nevada and Arkansas of the Atlantic
coast squadron, now in Hampton roads.
The old frigate Hartford. Admiral Farra-
CUTS flagship, and the cruiser Newark, for
merly flagship of Rear Admiral Sigsbee, are
on their way TO Annapolis for use in the
instruction of the midshpmen.
The warships already at Annapolis are
the monitor Terror. the cruiser Atlanta,
the cruiser Chesa peake, the destroyer Law
renee, the torpedo boat Talbot the con-
verted Spanish gunboats Alvarado and
Sandoval, the submarine boat Holland and
the naval tug Standish. All of these YES
sells, with the possible exception of the
Standish, will be used for the drills of the
mdshipmen in seamanshlp, ordnance exer-
cises, in the firing of torpedoes and squad
ron maneuvers
About the first of June the midshipmen
will start on their usual summer cruise
along the north Atlantic coast with head
quarters probably at New London Conn
All the vessels of the Academy fleet will be
utilized for this purpose with the exception
Of the tug and torpedo boats. This years
cruise will cover a period of about three
months and is not likely to extend farther
north than Boston.

RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANTS.
Important Question Awaiting Supreme
Courts Decision.

petition for writ OF certiorari has
been fled in the Supreme Court of the
United States in the habeas corpus cases OF
Feter Pearson and Enoch Pearson, two
English lace weavers, who immigrated to
the United States a year ago and whose
deportation was afterward ordered on the
ground that they came under contract with
a lace manufacturer at Gouverneur. New
York.
The order of deportation was issued by
board of special inquiry after a similar
board had acquitted them of the same
charge. The question presented is
whether an alien immigrant, having been
duly admitted after full examination by
duly authorized officers, may be subject
to retrial upon the same charge and with
our further evidence"
This question has never been passed
upon. The petitioners say:
The question is one which involves the
right of large number of aliens who have
been admitted to this country and who
may not rest in peace and security until
three years have passed, which, by limit of
time, shall exclude the power of the secre-
tary to arbitrarily deport them without ex-
istence of other ground of violation or evil
dence thereof than what has already been
passed upon by duly authorized officials in
their favor"
They therefore ask for a final and au-
thoritative settlement of the controversy
The case was last decided by the circuit
court of appeals adversely to the petition
ers, but the decision of the circuit court
for the southern district of New York was
in their favor.
