Descendants of Paul Jones

not discussed this morning in the cabi-
net Shaw has been telling us some
good stories for the last hour
Descendants of Paul Jones.
Although John Paul Jones was new
er married this Is fact OF which
many Americans appear to be ignor-
ant Among the thousands Of applica-
lions received by the secretary of the
navy for tickets to the memorial SER
vices at Annapolis on April "a when
the body of the naval hero was trans
ferred to Bancroft hall, were letters
from three American citizens claiming
to be descendants of John Paul Jones.
With characteristic tact the secretary
sent the tickets but explained to the
writer's that they probably were de-
scended from one Of the sisters Of
John Paul Jones.
1t was these sisters who presented
to a graduate of the Naval academy
the miniature of their brother painted
on ivory by the Countess de la Ven
dahl, which is now preserved by the
Naval academy and is regarded the
most authentic likeness of John Paul
Jones. The reverse Of the miniature
is hair locket containing locks of the
admiral's hair and his initials. With
Houdon's bust and the likeness shown
on the gold medal voted by congress
to John Paul Jones in 1887 and exc
cuteI under his personal supervision
by Dupre, the miniatures from the
third of trio of what is thought to be
fairly accurate likenesses of Americas
first naval hero.
Data RiII Honfarapce
At two hours session of the con-
ferees on the railroad rate bill today
a number Of undisputed amendments
were agreed to tentatively. All dis
puted points were passed over. Con-
siderable time was devoted to the dis
cussion Of the so-called "Jim Grow"
car provision This amendment has
given the republican conferees some
concern because Of the opposition
made by northern negroes against the
alleged principle involved in the sepa-
ration Of the races.
Tillman announced that he would
not consent to any change in the sen
ate provision.
Naval Appropriations Bill.
The naval appropriations bill was
reported to the senate today. The to-
tai increases made by the senate was
$2,461,0 900, making a grand total of
1901, 900.
