PRODUCTION OF MANGANESE.

WHAT CONSTITUTES EXPATRIATION.
Solicitor Hepburn Renders an Interesting
Decision Defining It--A Court of In
quiry-Capital Notes.

WARRINGTON, D. c.. May 16.-[Special J.
The Census Bureau has issaed special bull
letin showing the production of manganese
i'll the United States. 1t shows that for the
year 1889 the production was %, ,927 long tons,
the total value Of which was S23s. $685. The
census bulletin states that the maganese is
obtained principally from the localities Of
Crimora, Va. Cartersville, Ga. and Bates
vile, Ark. These districts yielded in 1889, in
gross, 20, 1916 long tons.
The Virginia product in 1889 was 11,616
tons, valued at Sl56 257. The value per ton
was S10.69 The number of employees was
III and the wages paid was s65 939: capital
invested, S71000. In North Carolina the
product for the year was only II tons. the
total value Of which was Sl70. Only two en-
ployes were engaged, and the capital IL
vested was $3.50.
WHAT CONSTITUTES EXPATRIATIoN.
Solicitor Hepburn, of the Treasury Depart
ment, has rendered an interesting decision as
10 what constitutes expatriation. The case
came up of a man named Miller, VINO
now resides at st. Johns, n. b. Miller
desired TO enjoy the privilege, 10 wMcn
he alleged he was entitled.-as an Ameri-
can citizen, of shipping free Of duty TO the
United States logs cut in the State OF Maine
and sawed at his mill at st. Johns, n. B. he
claimed his right under Section Is of the act
of October /, 1890, which accords this prvi-
lege TO an American citizen. Miller was born
in Wisconsin in 1858. and his mother then a
widow, removed 10 New Brunswick IN
1860, where she died Miller has since resided
there The question turned on Miller being
an American citizen. Solicitor Hepburn de-
cides that Miller's residence abroad until he
reached the age Of twenty-one was inyolun-
tary. but his continued residence abroad since
that time must be taken as renouncing his
allegiance 10 the United States. and, there
corded American citizens under the act Of
October !, 1890.
