COMMANDER SCHROEDER SELECTED
Will Be Appointed Naval Governor of
Samoa.

1t has been practically decided by the
Secretary Of the Navy to appoint Comman-
der Seaton Schroeder to be the first naval
governor Of the Samoan Island Of Tutuila
Commander Schroeder is at present on duty
in this city as a member of the board
charged with the revision Of the naval
regulations. This work is about completed
so that the officer will be able to leave
for his new post at an early day. 1t is
expected that Captain Tilley Of the Aba
renda, the station ship at Page Page, Will
look after United States interests in Tu-
tufla until the regular governors arrival
1t is understood that Captain Tilley has al
ready notified the native inhabitants of the
annexation of the island. The work of es-
tablishing q coaling station has been vigor-
ously pushed, and now that a governor is
to be appointed, the department will take
for his occupation. in addition to the coal
sheds and machinery buildings already I'M
der erection at Page Pago For time
at least, the department will maintain one
OF the auxiliary vessels as a station ship
at Page Page, although as Captain Tilley
Is to come home in the spring. some other
vessels than the Abarenda may be assigned
to that duty.
The naval officers have just completed an
other survey Of Page Page harbor. 1t dis
closes the fact that the harbor Is we'll nigh
perfect, and beyond placing two buoys ON
as many rocks, there is no occasion to ex-
pend any money for Improvements.

IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS,
Board of Trades Plan for Celebrating
Waahin KtOn's BfrthdaH.


A few years ago the board of trade in
augurated the custom of celebrating Wash
ington's birthday anniversary in the pub
lie schools of the city, in the form of exer-
cises of simple character in practically all
the school buildings. The arrangements
for this observance are now being made by
DR.. A. p Pardon, the chairman of the COM
mlttee on public schools, and as may be in
ferred, it is a task of some magnitude, in
volving great many details and the seiec-
ton of presiding officer and speaker
for over one hundred meetings.
1t is found that the response on the part
of citizens to this particular duty Is very
general, and with their cooperation it has
been possible to carry out this plan from
year to year. This year will be of special
interest because of the fact that it is the
centennial year of the establishment of the
seat of government in this District
The exercises will be held Wednesday the
21st instant commencing a /: 80 pm. in the
Various schools. AS heretofore, a brief ad-
dress will be made by the presiding Off
GERS at each school, and the speaker of the
occasion will follow with speech of fifteen
OF twenty minutes.

AQUEDUCT TUNNEL WORK
Some Difficulty Experienced Near Howard
University Reservoir.
Treacherous Nature of the saltwater
Supplied to City Was Clear DULY
Three Days I'm January.

According to Col. Miller. the engineer Of
fiCer in charge of the water supply system
of the District of Columbia. the water serv-
ell to the people of Washington during the
month of January was clear for three days
only and was in various stages of turbidity
on the remaining twenty-eight days. The
consumption and waste of water during the
twerty-four hours ended at Z O'Clock a m.
January ~ amounted to Al ,242 .Ss7 gallons.
In order to repair several leaks In Cabin
John bridge it became necessary to draw
of the water from the conduit between the
Great Falls and the Dalecarla or receiving
reservoir on the 18th and 10Th ultimo. The
lower half of the conduit through the bridge
is plastered Several leaks were found in
this pldstcrfng They were repaired with
Portland cement The upper half of the
conduit. which is not plastered, was covered
with thin coating of cement. No leaks
have appeared in the bridge since the re-
pairs Were made.
Col. Miller reports good results in the
work OF repairing and completing the aque-
duct tunnel and the Howard University
reservoir. for the purpose of increasing the
water supply of the District. This work
consists generally in lining or refining and
regarding the tunnel and repairing the
reservoir Some difficulty has been eXper-
fenced in prosecuting the work in the vi
cinity of the new reservoir on account of
the saturated condition and treacherous
nature of the soil. This is especially the
case at the end of the 75-inch main.
Close snoring has been put in and d
pump arranged to keep the trench dry. 1t
is believed that there will be no more seri-
Gus difficulty. OF the invert built at How
ard University shaft during the past month
J66 feet were full center work. which re
quired much more time than the usual
form of inyert. In repairing the old lining
very bad ground was met with. The thre.
air shafts of the tunnel have been COM
pleted and good progress has been made
in revetment work at the new reservoir.
Since the beginning of the work on the
general project. 5917 feet of tunnel have
been trimmed, 20599 feet of track laid. 49,
30 cubic yards of material removed. Isl
cords of timber removed from the back of
the old arch. $3.50 feet of invert, Q. 1.1 feet
of side wall and 1874 feet of arch of the
new brick lining have been finished: :;.aHI
feet of invert placed in the old lining. 1852
feet of old lining repaired, 1907 cubic yards
of concrete put IN place; I,42 cubic yards
of rubble masonry put in the old arch and
30l9 cubic yards in the new arch; 10 iron
rings. covering 500 feet. have been placed
in the tunnel under Rock creek, 6.321 feet
of old work has been grouted, In which
work 1859 barrels of cement We're used.

ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.
completion Delayed at Request of t
War Department.

The final draft of the military appropria-
tion bill, which was to have been completed

rated in the bill. Among the items Is a

the pending bill providing that silver dol
lars and silver certificates should be made
redeemable in gold
Mr.. Chiffon objected to the great power
conferred by the Senate bill Apon the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. and maintained
that the authority for the issuance of all
bonds be vested in Congress-the repre-
sentatives of the people.
In conclusion, Mr.. Chiffon said: 81 know
the republican leaders are gleeful that a
time has come when they can carry out
their plan.
They boast that prosperity abounds In
the days of their power, that the silver
question Is dead. that vast annexations and
victorious wars are the triumphs of the
mckinley administration. But let 1t not
be forgotten that there are triumphs and
mai trfumphs in the progress of civiliza
ton Good prices which have come to the
cotton raiser and the wheat raiser by short
crops and the gold discoveries of the last
rev years cannot last when the mines have
failed and good crops come again. Such
prosperity as we see has followed the
course of nature, has demonstrated the
correctness of the democratic party that a
greater money supply was needed to Aud
hard times and has not been scattered from
the imperial chariot of the republican par
ty as the bounties of its progress"

Law Prohibits From Putting Up Over
head Wires on city Streets.

The Secretary Of Agriculture recently re-
quested of the District Commissioners per
mission to run a telephone wire across B
street southwest from the department
grounds to building rented and occupied
by the laboratory of the bureau of animal
industry. The application was referred by
the Commissioners to the attorney for the
District, who has advised them that the
act of Congress Of July is. 1885. prohibits
them from granting the desired permit
BY the act of 1888. states the attorney,
Congress declared that the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia shall not after
the 18th day of September. 1888. permit or
authorize any additional telegraph, tele-
phone. electric lighting or other wires to
be erected or maintained on or over any
o. the streets or avenues OF the city OF
Wsshingt on. This explicit Inhibition.
states the attorney, remains in full force
except as 1t has been modified by subse-
quent Legislation authorizing the stringinz
of wires over the streets of the city in
certain specified cases. But" he states.
Il am of the opinion that the Commission
ers are not authorized by existing law to
issue the permit desired by the Secretary
of Agriculture"
1T is suggested" the attorney eontin-
ues. that the United States owns and op-
crates telephone system OF its own but
this fact does not authorize the erection OF
wires over the streets or avenues of the
city 1t is further suggested that permit
may be granted under the provision con-
tained in the appropriation act approved
March 3. 1897 but this provision is limited
to permits to string wires from cable poles
or from existing overhead trunk lines. to
poles In, or to be erected In, alleys, and
from alley poles in one square TO alley poles
or house-top fixtures in another square
for the purpose of making necessary house

A reference to the statement be-

sworn to Is bona-fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news

swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in order to deceive adyer-
Users. by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable. and which are. in fact. re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
