THE ALIEN ARMIES.

Represent ative Oates Bill to Pre-
vent Foreign Criminals From
Becoming Citizens Reported Fa-
vOrably.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 12.--Rep-
resentative Oates, of Alabama, from the
committee on the judiciary, to-day re-
ported favorably to the house bill to
amend the naturalization laws of the
United States. The report accompany
ing the bill treats the existing naturali-
cation laws in critical spirit and calls
attention to abuses whicg have sprung
up under them. 1t says: can alien
may be a notorious thief, murderer,
outlaw. anarchist. pOIygamist, leper,
allows him, by making an affidavit
of intention before clerk of
a court, all the benefits of
citizenship within the United States.
He is allowed by the land laws of the
United States to buy and own any guam
tity of real estate or other property, OF
to take homestead ON the public do
main, and thus receive benefactiOn
equal to the best young man OF Amerl-
can birth; and at least One-half of the
states of the Union allow such aliens to
own and inherit real estate and to vote
at all elections the same as natives and
naturalized citizens. In many OF the
states all alien who has legally declared
his intention to become a citizen is
eligible to any Office within the state.
He may by state law be eligible to
seat in congress, when the constitution
of the United States denies to him such
right until he. has been
ia fDy OF
So deficient is the present
law. and so careless is the practice of
the Judges, with but few exceptions,
that it has become a matter of public
notoriety that they perform their
duty in such decidedly perfunctOry
manner that any alien. however
bad his character or beastly ignorant he
may be, can become citizen of the
United States. There is nothing in the
law to deny citizenship even to idiots,
insane persons, pauperS, criminals or
others who have come into the United
States in f1agrant violation of our I'M
migration laws" The report concludes
with a synopsis and explanation of the
provisions of the bill, which are in
brief: A limitation c. the classes of for
eigners eligible to citizenship in United
States dncluding Indians adopting
civilized iife) prescription of the form
of application, a requirement that the
district attorney shall defend the gov
ernment against improper applications.
and that applications shall be corrob-
Grated upon the point of residence,
restriction of jurisdiction to high state
courts and federal courts, the preserva-
tion of the rights of aliens who have al
ready declared their intention ,an allow
ance of the right of bona fide applicants
to make homestead entries and to re-
ceive patents after naturalization, and
requirement of would-be citizens that
they shall have resided five years in the
United States and be able to read the
constitution in English.

that shows to what depth of degreda-
ton women can fall. Mrs. James Miller
is the mother of three girls. The eld-
est, aged sixteen, was recently placed
in a house of prostitution by the mother,
who has been receiving the earnings of
the girl in her life of shame. The
mother and daughter have been upon
the street at all hours of the night, and
it was to sporting houses that the
mother took her child night after night.
There are two younger girls in the fam
lily, and the same fate awaits them un-
less they are cared for by friends. In
court with his mother was boy fifteen
years old, an habitual drunkard. The
father spends most of his money for
drink. He went home last night and
found his wife at sporting house close
by. Words passed and he gave her a
terrible beating, The judge sent him
up for fifteen days and released Mrs.
Miller. The authorities are taking
steps to provide homes for the other
girls that they may be saved from the
fate of their sister.

tioneH relative to condition of cattle in
his section, said that while the present
very agreeable and spripg-like weather
would seem to benefit cattle, it came
far from it. The streams are frozen, and
as there is not a particle Of snow
on the ground, many cattle are in fam
ished condition for water, It is just
cold enough to keep the ice in the river,
If, as anticipated, a storm sets in during
the latter part Of this month or in
March, he fears that there will be great
loss of cattle on the ranges. Instead of
being tat and healthy, as one would
naturally suppose, the cattle look very
bad. 1t is thought also that the streams
will run dry very early this year, owing
to the very light snowfall.
