COPPS' LAND REVIEW.
The Chinese and Tie pu6Ac
Domain.
The Chinese Question is Just al

The Chinese Question siust at
present the all-absorbing topic OF
public and political discussion,
and a bill prohibiting the imml-
grafton into tins country of
Chinese persons has been passed
by Congress, and is now before
the President, who will probably
sign 1t now that official informa-
ton OF the rejection by the Chinese
government has been received.
Quite a hutter Of excitement
Wac created a few DAYS ago by the
announcement in the public prints
that \ salstant Commissioner
Anderson of the General Land
Office, had rendered a decision to
the effect that Il Chinaman who in
1887 declared his intention to be-
come a citizen of the United States
could,lcgally initiate a homestead
entry.
It. is quite certain, however,
that whatever might have boen
the foundation upon which tie
rumor was based, and whatever
may have been the opinion OF the
the.Assistant Commissioner upon
the time of publication, no such
a decision was promulgated. and
that officer is now firmly of the
opinion that unless Il Chinaman
can conclusively show that he had
declared his intention to become a
citizen of the United States prior
to the amendment OF the natural
ization laws in 1875 he can never
become qualified to make an entry
OF public lands under any OF the
laws where citizenship is a pre.rc.
quisite.
1t appears that the district land
officers III one OF the Territories
permitted three Cinnamon who
had filed their declarations Of
citizenship in 1883, to make a
mineral land entry, and the
case came before the Assistant
Commissioner for consideration.
His Judgment was emphaticalIy
recorded against the legality Of
such an entry, and an order OF
cancellation was made at once, no
holding for cancellation with
privilege Of appeal, on the ground
that only citizens OF the United
States, or those who had legally
declared their Intentions to be-
come such, can make entry for
mineral lands, and that as the re
yissd statutes as amended by the
act of 1878 excluded Mongolians
from the privilege of becoming
citizens, the entry was Illegal and
utterly void.
Very few Cinnamon have ever

GALLANTLY RESCgED.
A woman saved from a Blazing
Tenement by u Plucky Fireman.

a New York telegram says: A double
tenement-house, known rs the Martha
flats, No. AZ west Fiity-seventh street.
was the scene of terrific cOnhagration
and daring rescue by the fire depart
ment this evening. Fourteen families
who occupied the building were rem
dered homeless.
Patrick Mcmahon is the proprietor OF
the building and occupies the first and
second floors. tie was not ut home when
the fire broke out in his cellar. II
spread with fearful rapidity, burning the
stairways leading to the upper floors.
When the first contingent OF the fire.
men arrived they found the first three
stories OF the tenement ablaze.
The tenants were panic stricken and
rushed TO the roof of the building,
leaving all their possessions behind. All
escaped to the adjoining roofs save Mrs.
Sarah Heater, who lived on the fifth
floor. She tarried so long, endeayorlng
to save some property that when she at
tempted to reach the roof, her means of
escape were cut or She ran TO the win
dow and called loudly for help and mp
peared as though about to jump into the
street.
Foreman Connors OF Engine No. %,
sent Fireman John J. Price, of his COM
mand, to the womans assistance and
shouted to her not to jump, as aid
would soon reach her. Price went
through the adjoining building and as
cended to the roof He attempted 10 de-
scendthrough the scuttle to Mrs Heaters
assistance, bat was unable to do 50. he
went along to the edge Of the roof.
Immediately over the window at which
the woman was standing and lowered
rope to her. The woman seized the rope
and fastened it about her waist. The
plucky fireman called to her TO get ont
on the windowsill She obeyed him,
and Price SWING her clear of the build
ing. She hung suspended III midair a
moment, while the fireman got good
grip, and q moment later She was hauled
in safety to the roof. Price brought her
in his arms safely to the street, where he
was chcered 10y the cnlookers.
The cold weather caused much suffer
ing in the ranks of the iiremen, many OF
whoa were frost-bi,ten. The loss on
the building is estimated at S3j. goo. and
is only partially insured The loss of
the tenants viii foot up about S2j, 900,
partially insured. During the progress
Of the fire portion OF the roof fell to
the ground, striking Fireman Michael
Powers, knocking him inseusibie. An
other fireman received slight wounds,
and both were sent to the Roosevelt
Hospital. Powers it is thought, will
recover.
