SERIOUSLY ILL.
Mr.. Robert III. Jordan Suffering From
Heart Disease,


Mr.. Robert H. Jordan, one of the hest
known citizens of Anacostia, is seriously
i'll of heart disease at his home on Monroe
street. Mr.. Jordan has resided in the Dis
trict of Columbia almost his entire life.
He was born on Capitol Hill nearly sixty
six years ago. While but a small boy his
mother died, and a short time afterward
remained for seventeen years. During that
period he visited many foreign countries.
and it has always been a source of especial
pleasure to him that he was thus enabled
to spend some time in Palestine.
During the latter part of the war with
Mexico Mr.. Jordan took part in it. and he
was also in the Union army during the
memorable struggle between the states
1S61-'65. He removed to Anacostia many
years ago, and for twenty years has been
one of the foremen at st. Elizabeth's Asy-
lum. For nearly thirty-five years Mr. Jor-
dan has been very active in church work
and has organized several successful Sun
day schools and one church. the latter beiEg
located at Congress Heights under the care
of the Baltimore conference NJ. E. Church.
Mr.. Jordan has been in bad health for
nearly year. He was attacked with hem
orrhages early in April last and from the
effects of these he has never fully recover
ed. He has, however, continued to per-
form his duties at st. Elizabeth's Asylum
meanwhile, and it was not until Saturday
last that he was compelled to keep in the
house. Tuesday night both Mr.. Jordan and
about to pass away, but last evening he
rallied somewhat All day yesterday and
last evening there We're constant calls at
the house to inquire about him.

OUR SAMOAN SUBJECTS.
Described as Singularly Peaceful and
Emfnently DeyOut,

Assurances have reached the State De-
partment from the German government
that the Samoan treaty, which was ratified
by the United States Senate about a week
ago. will receive the ratification of the
bundesrath and the reichstag within a
week. There is said to be practically no
opposition to the treaty in the German
legislative branch.
In anticipation of the exchange of final
ratifications, some attention is being given
by our government to the future of the
islands, which we acquired under the terms
of the treaty. The naval officers who have
recently been on the Island of Tutuila in
connection with the work of building the
wharf and establishing a coaling station
in the harbor of Page Page have been
called upon for reports as to the social,
political and physical features of the
islands. They. have stated that there are
at present about 1.50O people on the Island
of Tutuiia. owing allegiance to about three
chiefs. The principal chief is named Man
gum. The people are different from the
inhabitants of the other Samoan Islands,
being particularly peaceful in their dispo-
s;tion, and they have been involved in the
revolutions in the islands only through the
coercion of some of the elements on the
larger islands of Upola and Savaii. During
the last conflict between Malietoa and Ma
taafa about 800 or 600 of them were car
ried across to Upola by Capt. Sturdee, one
of the British naval commanders, on his
warShfp. They were subsequently return
ed to Tutuila on the collier Brutus by Capt.
Cottman.
The population is unique in the fact that
every soul is reputed to be devout Chris
tan. They are so orthodox that not one
person could pc induced to come aboard
one of the American ships on Sunday, while
all of them went to church. This consi-
ton is ascribable largely to the influence
of French missionaries and that there IS
at present Catholic mission on the shores
of Page Page harbor, directly opposite
Swimming Point, the site of the United
States coaling station.
Nothing as yet has been positively set
tied TO the government of the island
beyond the fact that the principal official
will be naval officer. The general pur-
pose is to have him interfere as little as
possible with the natives so long they
continue in their present peaceful manner

MIR. MCCALL DISSENTS.
Doesn't Agree With Republican Assoc
ciates on the Porto Rico Tariff

ciates ON the Porto Rico Tariff
1t developed yesterday in connection with
the Porto Rico tariff bill that the republic
can majority of the ways and means COM
mittee reported was not unanimous for the
measure or for the principle it involved as
to the government of territorial acquisi-
tons, and that Representative Mccall, re-
publican member of the committee from
Massachusetts,, had prepared strong dis
senting report. When the ways and means
committee passed on the bill last week Mr..
Mccall withheld his vote, the understand
ing being that he had not yet given that
careful attention to the issues involved
necessary as to permit him to vote either
way. In other respects the vote was on
party lines, all the republican members
except Mr.. Mccall voting for the bill and
all the democrats against it,
The ways and means committee at its
meeting today reached an understanding
that the debate on the Porto Rico tariff
bill would begin on the 18th instant and
last one week. The bill was changed in
two particulars.
Section 3 was amended so that articles
like tobacco, subject to an internal reve-
nue. tax in the United States, shall pay
that tax as well as % per cent of the Gus
toms duty. Section 4 was changed so as
to make 1t clear that the duties, etc, col
lected shall be used exclusively for the
benefit of Porto Rico.

that every one of them. including the day

night superintendent and all the motormen
and conducto rs had contributed toward the

SHEATHING WARsHIPS.
The Chief Naval Constructor Receives
an Enforcement of His Yie9s.


Admiral Hichborn, chief naval construc-
tor, has received a letter from Captain ].
B. Estes of Charlotte, Monroe county, N.
Y, indorsing his position in the matter of
sheathing warships. Captain Estes says:
II noticed in the press that the board
does not the advantage of the sheath
ing of the ships bottoms. Thirty years ago
l recommended to the company of the
Royal Mail Line of steamers Gron) to
sheathe the bottoms of their steamers just
above the bilge. They did not heed my
advice, but in ten years after 1 proposed
the above they sunk in the rapids of the
st. Lawrence fifteen of their steamers. The
expense of raising steamers averaged about
$4,000.
AT last two of the directors called on
me; asked what could be DONE 1 at once
replied. 'Sheathe with finch rock elm.
One was of the opinion that they would
draw more water. On the contrary. they
drew an average two inches less Since
they adopted the sheathing not one boat
has been sunk.
my argument is the iron for hacker,
the wood for a fender. You have the best
bottom that floats.
Pardon me, sir, for writing the above,
but 1 feel much interested in our beau
tiful navy that could not refrain from Of
fering what I~know about the sheathing
of steamers"
