Right OF Citizenship Given to Sailors Of
the United States Navy.

Right OF citizenship Given to Sailors Of
the United States Navy.
SAN Francisco, October 3.--In COM
pliance with q recent act of Congress
Secretary Herbert has recently promul-
gated general order which gives to sail
ors of the United States navy the right
of citizenship. This order has been for
warded to every vessel of the navy and
to each naval station with instructions
that it be published at general muster
and copies conspicuously posted. The
order sets forth an act of Congress grant
ing to enlisted men of the navy the right
of citizenship after five years service
without any previous declaration, the
same as provided for in the case of the
United States army and marine corps.
The granting of this suffrage to the
United States navy will permit about
two-fifths of the enlisted men to become
citizens, and already large number
have procured their citizenship papers.
1t is reported from the New York navy
yard that fully 1000 sailors have secured
their papers since Secretary Herbert's
order has been issued.

After Fifty Years Of strIfe,

SAN FRANcrsco, October 3.-After fifty
years of strife and twsnty-seven years
of litigation the famous Alvarado ranch
case has virtually past out Of the courts.
To-day was the last day for the payment
OF the costs of the suit, The costs of
the suit were $102, 900, and the amount
caused much dissatisfaction among the
litigants, but on the advice OF their at
torneys the amount was paid, and the
litigation is probably ended. The rancho
consists of II, 900 acres of land lying be-
tween San Francisco and San Pablo Bay,
and forms one of the boundaries between
Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Its
estimated value is 81, 700, 600.

NEW YORK, POLICE.
sensational Testimony Before the Lexow
Investigating Committee.

1
New YORK, October Mr.. Moss, at
torney for the Parkhurst Society, opened
to-day's proceedings before the Lexow
investigating committee by placing in
evidence a chattel mortgage given by
David Kroman to David Kroman. The
first David has already testified before
the committee that he gave the mort
gage to raise money to give the police for
protection. Policeman Hussey was the
next witness. Mrs. Urchittet, who some
time ago appeared before the committee,
had testified that an officer had walked
her around the streets all night and
taken down her stockings to search for
money. The prosecution tried to show
that Hussey was the officer. Hussey
testified that stool pigeon named Black
had told him that policeman named
Charles A. Place was the policeman who
took the money. An affidavit from Black
was read, saying he was present when
Place demanded money in the woman's
store. Place took the stand, and swore
he never saw the woman or took the
money from her. He said Hussey had
asked him to help him out by swear
ing that the woman was disrep-
utable. The woman then took the
stand. Her story was o shameful one.
Her children were torn from her by the
policeman and placed in an asylum. She
was scourged from pillar to post by the
police and Max Hochstein, an East Side
politician. Hochstein at first under the
guise OF friend advised her to pay the
police, and later insulted and bounded
her. Looking around the courtroom, her
eyes lighted upon Hussey; she recog-
nized the author OF her troubles in a
moment, and became intensely agitated.
She pointed dramatically at the officer,
and half starting from the witness chair,
cried:
THAT'S him; that's himl"
For moment it looked as il she would
spring at the officer. 1t was some time
before she became quiet. Elias Mandel,
q restaurant-keeper, testified that Hus-
sey had come to him and demanded 500
for protection for gambling. He was ar
rested by Hussey on charge later, be-
ing subjected to much persecution. In
court to-day Officer Hussey accused Mar
berth Peffer;a detective employed by the
committee, Of being the author OF his
trouble. After calling him foul name,
the policeman threatened to blow Pef-
fer's brains out. Later he denied hav-
ing made the accusation or threat. Nor
ris Masch, cloak manufacturer, testi-
fed that clothing had been stolen from
his store. Officers Hussey and Shelby
assisted in finding the thief, but, although
they made arrests and had strong case,
Masch was not allowed to call his witt
nesses, and the thieves were discharged.

Court of Private Land claims.

SANTE FE, N. NJ, October A. The
Court Of Private Land Claims has just
concluded term wherein much inn
portant business was transacted. Dur
ing the past year the court confirmed
Spanish and Mexican grants in New
Mexico to the amount OF 779, 900 and
rejected such claims to the amount of
3,S40, 900 acres. In Arizona none were
confirmed, and grants amounting to
10000 acres were rejected. United
States Attorney Matthew Reynolds OF
st, Louis receives much credit for this
favorable showing to the government.
The court will meet again January 25
next, when claims to the amount of sew
eral million acres will be taken into con-
sideration.

Questions for DIplomacv.

LONDON, October 3.-The Standards g
correspondent at Paris says: The Poll
tique Coloniale, rejecting the views OF
the Minister OF the Colonies, gives, ex-
elusive of the questions of Egypt and
Madagascar, a list of eleven outstanding
difficulties between France and England
connected with frontier and similar dis
putes in various African colonies. Many
Of these have practically been settled,
and none of them would justify rup-
ture, unless one country was bent upon
picking quarrel with the other, which,
the paper says, is not the case.

The subject Debated IN the Hungarian
Upper House.
BuDA-PEsTH, October 6.-The Hunga-
rian Upper House to-day opened the de-
bate on a bill granting liberty of worship
to all sects. In the course OF the discus
sion Cardinal Schlauch, Archbishop of
Transylvania, declared the bill, il it
should become law, would ruin society
and the State. The Servian Patriarch
and the Roumanian and orthodox Bish-
ops spoke in a similar strain. Ex-Min-
lister Czaky and the Calvinist Bishop,
Svasz, warmly supported the proposed
reform, which was introduced by the
Minister of Public Education. Baron
Eostevoes declared that the bill was
prompted by true sense of liberty and
was the outcome OF the spirit of the age.
The debate was adjourned.

slams Into Corea-Anti-Foreign Feel
ing I'm Tien Tsin.
TEN TsIs, October 3.-It is officially
announced 5000 Japanese troops have
arrived close to Possiet Bay near the
Russian frontier. 1t was reported here
that q Japanese feet had been sighted
September % ten miles south from Shan
Hal Kwan, 200 miles from Peking. Large
bodies of Chinese troops have been
drafted to that district the last few days
to prevent the Japanese landing.
OFFICIALS ARE PUZZLED.
WASHINGTON, October 8. - Officials
here, who have been closely watching
the progress Of the war in the East, are
puzzled to account for the landing Of
5000 Japanese troops at Possiet Bay, as
announced officially from Tien Tsin.
This bay lies directly ON the eastern
boundary between Corea and the Rus
sian maritime provinces. 1t is not be-
lieved any Chinese troops are in the
neighborhood, as the country is too rug
ged and barren to warrant the plan OF
marching the troops overland clear across
Corea to join the army marching on
Moukden, and it is considered conceiv-
able that the Japanese are preparing to
resist q possible advance by the Russian
troops from the north into Corea.
PURPOSE OF THE MOVEMENT.
The purpose of the movement reported
from Tien Tsin of the reconnoitering by
the Japanese feet off the Chinese coast
near Shan Hal Kwan is more reasonable
and apparent. Shan Hal Kwan lies on
the boundary between the Chinese prov
inces of Manchuria and Chi Ii at the
eastern end OF the great wall which ira
verses China. 1t is directly on the rail-
road building from Tien Tsin to Mouk-
den, and as the line is already in opera
ton between it and Tien Tsin, the town
is place of great strategic advantage.
Should the Japanese effect its capture
and land an army, there would be moth
ing in the way of rapid advance on
Peking, the capital, and unless the Chi
nese resistance is more formidable than
it has been so far, the march could be
made in week or ten days.
FEAR FOR PRKING.
SHANGHAI, October 3.-The anti-for-
eign feeling at Peking is increasing hour
ly, and the authorities find it difficult to
repress outbreaks of the Chinese popu-
lation. Leading Chinese representatives
at Peking fear that, If the Japanese
march upon Peking, the capital will be
captured, as the Chinese soldiers gath
cred to defend it are dissatisfied and un-
reliable. It is reported Ii Hung Chang
has received orders not to proceed to
Corea.
ANTT-FoREIGN FEELING.
LONDON, October 3.-A Shanghai cor
respondent of the Central News tele-
graphs: There is no sign in Tien Tsin
that Ii Hung Chang's power is waning.
His audiences are well attended, and he
has several thousand well-armed troops,
who protect Europeans. Much anxiety
is felt by foreign residents, as the popu-
lace is behaving insolently and becoming
unusually threatening. The removal OF
the treasure and archives from Moukden
made bad impression.

The reduction in the price Of all stand
ard wheels from $135 and $3.50 to 800,
which has been announced by the makers
this month, is liable to create another big
wave in favor of cycling. the Topeka
dealers think. 1t is believed that there
will be many accessiOns to the Topeka
change, and in expectation of such an
exigency, one Topeka dealer has already
contracted for 80 standard wheels.
This is not the time of year, however,
when people purchase bicycles. Those
disposed TO invest show a tendency to
their appearance. 1t is believed that
there will be but few changes

although it would seem impossible TO
reduce the weight Of last seasons wheels.
