For the second time this week Washing
ton has been shocked and sorrowed by the
sudden death of one of it's most widely
known and sincerely esteemed citizens. Mr..
jeremiah M. Wilson was the first. Mr.. w.
S. Thompson, who for a third of a CEN
tury conducted a pharmacy on 18th street
opposite the White House plaza, was the
second. Mr.. Thompson's death came even
more quickly after the attack that proved
fatal first made it's appearance. In five
minutes from the time he first complained
of feeling bad he was dead. The end
came in the hall of his residence, No. 1922
New York avenue, a few moments after 8
o'clock this morning. Upon arising two
hours earlier he had remarked upon feel

A FOREIGN STATION.
Decision to Status at TutuiIa,
Samoa, by Secretary of Navy.

Samoa, by Secretary of Navy.
The Secretary of the Navy has decided
that the naval station at Tutuila, Samoa, is
to be regarded as a foreign station, so far
as concerns the discharge of seamen and
the relief of distressed mariners.
The complaint of the natives of Tutuila,
recently transmitted to the Navy Depart
ment by Lieutenant Dorm, has been ad-
justed already. 1t appears that Captain
Tilley, being short of cash, was obliged
to give personal notes in payment for the
lands and arms of the natives taken under
the treaty of Berlin. BY drawing upon
the emergency fund to the amount of
So 900, which was the appraised value of
the arms taken from the natives this ac-
count has been settled, and arrangements
have been made fer securing the money
necessary to pay for the lands, subject to
the approval of Congress at the next ses-
sion. Nothing can be done toward meeting
a complaint that trade is hampered by the
uncertain tenure of the tariff rates until
the supreme court next October passes
upon the remaining insular cases and finally
determines the exact relation between the
Island of Tutuila and the United States.
