Severe Storm In the Northwest
Chicago, Feb. 28.-The storm on the
lake yesterday, according to an old lake
captain, was the seyerest experienced
for years. At the crib the wind blew
at the rate Of 634 miles per hour, and
the ice surged by at the rate of seven
miles an hour. There was great dan
ger that the port holes would become
obstructed with ice and cut off the
city's water supply, but gang of men
working with the water up to their
waists, have managed to keep them
clear.
A gentleman who arrived here from
Clinton, Iowa, said the tram passed
through some sections of the prairies
where the little farm houses were al
most half submerged by water, and that
miles of railway tracks we're covered
with water.

No Chinese Need Apply.
Chicago, Feb. 2s.-Judge Moran, in
the circuit court this morning, denied
the application Of Moy Sam, China
man, for naturalization. The Judge
said, as the proof necessary Of good
moral character and residence in a
state of the United States, etc., was
sufficient, the sole question was
whether a native of China or Mongo-
liam might be naturalized under the
laws Of the United States. The law
originally stood, that any alien, being a
free white person, might become a citi-
zen, and this was subsequently made to
apply to aliens of African nativity and
persons of African descent.
He cited the language OF Judge Saw
yer in similar application to the
United States circuit court in Califor-
mia, who denied the application, saying:
II am therefore Of the opinion that a
native of China Of the Mongolian race
is not white person within the mean
ing of the act Of congress.
Judge Choate, Of New York, was
cited as reaching the same opinion as
Judge Sawyer in like application.
