WASHINGTON, Sept LA letter has been
received at the general land Office from
Nebraska making the inquiry whether a
Chinanan who has been in this country
twelve years and has declared his intention
OF becoming a citizen can make an original
homestead entry. A reply has been pre-
pared stating that under section 2.l69 OF the
revised statutes Chinaman cannot become
a citizen, and therefore the entry in question
cannot be made. 1t is stated at tho land
office that an application, as has been pub
lished, has been received from a Chinaman
in Wyoming 70 make timber culture entry
and that no decision favoring such applica-
tion has been made.

but little bit Of a fellow, foot and half
or two feet ia height. Superintendent Ccnk-
lin at that time used to allow him TO run
around looss in his Office.
He was highly intelligent and learned rap
idly. Many of his actions were extremely
human. To see him sitting at his little table,
napkin around his neck and knife and fork
ia hand eating his dinner, was a sight worth
seeing, and has been enjoyed ny millions Of
people. Crowley has been the prime favorite
Of all the Young people Of New York and the
stat attraction for visitors 70 the city. His
cage has been tile Mecca 81 thousands daily,
and during his Illness the keepers have been
overwhelmed by anxious inquiries BY mail
and il person.
Master Crowley was donated to the menag-
erie by the Libefian minister. Hehad bought
him ia Liberia from the raasser Of a coasting
vessel VINO had picked him up somewhere
near tho mouth Of the Congo river, on the
west coast Of Africa. 1t IS il this vicinity,
and especially south OF the rivers mouth,
thas the native haunts Of the chi npanzeo are
to be found.
Mr. Crowl~y besides being one OF the
greatest attractions OF the Central park me
nagerie, was very valuable animal This
was chiefly owing to his fams, which reached
into tho nethermost parts OF the known
world. Mr.. Barnum at one time offered
S, 900 hosldes an elephant, for him il the
menagerie would lot him have Mr. Crowley
Cor exhibition for one year with his circus.
He also offered 81, 600 il ho could have
him for five years, with guarantee that he
would live through the term.
But the chimpanzee IS a very de&cate ami
nal, and this consideration alone precluded
any such arrangement
The monkey and ape family generally are
subject to neariy all the diseases Of man, and
when sick they are treated in much the same
manner. Cases Of consumption. pneumonia
diarrhma, bronchitis. catarrh, Group. asthma,
toothacbe, commissions and ssasickness are
some few Of the dissases which n chimpanzee
is liable to DO attacked with.
This necessirates very c5reful treatment
and handling, bnt notwithstanding this fact
the chimpanzse never does kave a long life
under any circumstances in this couatry
No matter how careful he Is protected, sooner
or later-generally sooner--he will be at
tackled 10y some disease which carries him OH
| for good.
Mr. Crowley is thought to be the only
chimpanzee which has lived SO long a time in
the United States, but even he, with his fine
constitution, has at length succumbed to
dread consumption.

BosToE, Sept. 1.-Cien. benjamin f. Butler
addressed "a large nudiencs OF business men
in fremont emple, on the tariff and fisheries
questions. He declared free trade 70 be inn
practicable, and deplored the Democratic
policy as an abandonment Of the system
under which America bad achieved marves.
AS 50 the fisheries question, Gen. Butler
agreed that the existing retaliation law was
too tame. The president ought, however, to
have vetoed it on that ground Having
signed IT, he stultifed himself by ignoring it.
Gen. Butler favored policy Of genuine re-
taliatiou. II Canada denies our vessels their
rights, let us retaliate Oh British interests.
If our fishing vessels are kept out Of Canadian
