BARS FORMER EVIDENCE.
Given by Midshipmen Before Board
 Named by Fullam.

Annapolis, Md, June 18.-The court of inquiry which is investig igating irregularities in examinations at the Naval academy has no intention of considering an evidence in tthe pres ent proceedings, the testimony given by Midshipm en before the former board of investigation named by Supt Fullam.
 This announcement was made in court yesterday and was regarded as a decided point in favor of the pres ent defendants. All were recommend ed for dismissal, largely upon their own testimony before the former board, and to throw that record out leaves the court with no direct evil dence that any midshipnan at the academy had an advance copy of the actual examination papers. No one so far examined in the proceedings here has admitted seeing an actu Il examination paper.
