naturalize them was derived from the
Civil Code and the Session Laws OF 1881.

uralization because the applicants had
complied with the law. t. do not be-
lieve that any naturalized Chinese or

in the post-otfices Of the Kingdom that
the legitimate tax tor registered letters
is to be l0c, with the option of obtaining
return receipt for 15c.
Ny object is that the object of my
inquiries has not been obtained. Ii |
were to use parliamentary language |
should say that the answer OF the Post |
master-General is an unqualified false |
hood As it is | will merely say that it |
is an undignified bubble. had myself |
often sent registered letters during the |
time when H. NJ. Whitney was Post |
master, and as did not care for return |
receipt | never paid more than 10c. |
After the present Postmaster had been |
in office lew months he got mixed up |
in his acts, and decided always to charge |
15c l applied to have some letters |
registered, and 15c was demanded. l |
went to the Postmaster-General,a and |
after few minutes conversation he be- |
came very violent, called me a d-n
fool, said he did not care d-n for
own office as he d-n please, etc.
Minister Spencer request that the
