The Naturalization of Chinese.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-The naturali-
zation OF the Chinese came to
an abrupt termination to-day, when
Chong Nom appeared before Judge
Yerkes and was refused his papers in spite
of compliance with all the require
ments of the regular naturalization
law. The judges action is based upon
the fourteenth section of the act of
May g. 1882, restricting Chinese immigra-
ton. That section provides that
hereafter no State court or court
of the United States shall admit Chinese to
citizenship. After bearing this decision
Judge Arnold made decision revoking the
papers which ne granted on Thursday to
Chong Kee.

tons for missionary work in the way of 'ispe-
Gals" so called, but not of any coming to
Arkansas.
The Bishop of Niobrara said thirteen years
ago. when the missionary jurisdiction of
Nfobrara was set apart, that section of coun-
try was almost exclusively occupied by In
dams, about 80, 900 in number. The Indians
had never been subjected to degradation by
coming in contact with the whites. The
Bishop maintained hat the Indians were
mentally and morally superior
people. They are being deprived
OF every thing they hold most dear. and actu-
ally stripped alive. In any bargain under
taken with our people they have been egregi-
ously swindled. If an outbreak among the
Indians should make Us shudder we must
recollect the great wrongs they are apt to
forget themselves. There are in the Bishops
diocese thirteen clergymen-five natives.
They have books in their language If any
one thing has made the Indians the prey of
white men it is that they have lived on little
reservations and constituted an indigestj bic
mass, OF which society was anxious to get rid
The sooner the Indians are like our people
the sooner they will cease to be Indians. In
Nlobrara there are thirteen ministering wo-
men and thirteen active clergy During the
last three years eighty-four adults and four
hundred and sixty-eight children have been
baptized, and in the past ten years nine hun
bred persons have been presented for con-
frmaton.

morrow other missionary bishops will pre-
sent reports.

A BRUTAL CRIME.

Negro Losers at Cards Hold the Winner Over
Fire and Fatally Burn Him.
New Orleans Special.
A more brutal crime than that perpetrated
at Provencal, Natchitoches parish, on Sunday
night, has scarcely been chronicled. Six ne
gro section hands of the New Orleans Pacific
railroad, and one Bradfield, sat around
campfire in the woods for a game of cards.
Bradfeld was in luck and succeeded in win
ming all the money of the Others. Exasper-
ated at their losses, the negroes demanded
that their money should be returned to them.
This demand Bradfeld resisted An assault
was then made upon him. and the
money taken away. Not content with
this, the infuriated negroes seized
their victim, who was a powerful man, and
resisted violently, and forced him upon the
fire. He was held by the legs and arms, not
withstanding his violent struggles, until his
hair and scalp, one hand and the other arm
were burned off, and then released. In this
horribly mutilated condition he managed to
drag himself along for several miles until he
reached place where assistance was rendered
him. His injuries were SO severe, however
that he died oh Monday night in great agony
The facts were kept concealed until yester-
day, when warrants were issued for Brad
fields murderers. They are a desperate
gang and will probably show fight before
they will su bmit to arrest. The same gang
were on trial few days before the assault
upon Brad6el1, charged with the murder of
their section boss, but were released because
no direct evidence against them could be Sc
cured. The general belief is that they COM
mitted that murder also.

Fighting the Postmaster-General

Washington Special.
Since the Postmaster-general issued his
recent orders against the Louisiana Lottery
Company, the Washington Post has left no
opportunity unimproved of attacking Judge
Gresham. Recently it published an editorial
of nearly column making grave charges
against the integrity of the postmaster at
Portland, Me. The Post stated that he had
recently been defauIter to the amount of
several thousand dollars, and that Judge
Gresham had covered up his offenses. The
thorough investigation of the charges, and a
careful search of the records of the depart
ment shows them to be entirely without
foundation, and malicious. 1t is stated that
the Louisiana Lottery Company's bills for
advertising in the Post are enormous since
the Judges order.
