QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP.
Attorney General Lecse recently had pc
cular case brought before hlm, upon which
he has passed an opinion holding that under
the existing laws native Mongolan cannot
become a citizen of the United States. The
case was brought by a heathen Chinee of
Fremont named Joe Wing FOng, who desired
to become an American citizen and applied to
the district court of Dodge county for citizen
ship, but was refused the papers. In
his opinion of the case Attorney Gen
eral Leese holds that the law DresCrbes
that any white citizen of alien birth
can apply and receive citizenship on comply
ing with the statute requirements. The ques-
tiOn therefore arises whether Chinaman is
Il white man, and as the MOngolian has never
been considered as such the decision follows
that he is not entitled to citizenship. resi-
dent of the city is of the opinion that the Cal
ifornia delegation, II acquainted with the
facts, would stop over long enough to give
IA a upDpr-nl q NphrnSlya n cpr1uD
Oh his Interpretation of the law.

buggy at the corner of Tenth and p streets.
i'll which man and boy We're seated. The
hack broke two wheels off the buggy, knock
ing the occupants to the pavement, and in the

police were quickly notified and went at the
work of identifying the particular hack in
question, that the driver might be made to
suffer for his rCCklcSsncss.
