Our Naturalizat ton Laws.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your editorial of last Friday in refer
ence to the refusal of the United States
circuit court at Boston to admit to naturali-
cation Chebaito Saito. a native Of Japan,
1t was stated that especial interest at
tached to the decision. as it was the first
time this question had been directly passed
upon. While no similar case arising upon
the application of a japanese subject is
recorded. our courts have repea tedly held
that there Is no authority under our laws
to naturalize any but persons of Caucasian
or African race. Prior to the adoption of
the fourteenth amendment to the Constitu-
tion our naturalization laws provided for
the naturalization of aliens being free
white persons" The acts of 1870 and 1875
passed In pursuance of that amendment
extended the application of our naturaliza-
ton laws to aliens of African nativity
and to persons of African descent"
As early as the year 1878 the United
States circuit court for the district of Cali
fornia Sawyer. judge. in the case of All
Yup g, Sawyer, 1850, held that IL found
nothing in the history of the country. in
common or scientific usage, or in legislative
proceedings, to indicate that Congress in
tended to include in the term white per-
SON any other than an individual of the
Caucasian race" And in 1889 the supreme
court of Utah, in passing upon the applica-
ton of a native Hawaiian for admission to
citizenship. decided that as the applicant
was neither a white person nor a person of
the African race, he could not be natural
lied. On re Kanaka-Nian, Utah, Rep.
259D
1t Is unfortunate that such a superior
class of people as the japanese are ex-
cluded from the privileges of citizenship,
while the most degraded Hottentot is
granted this priceless boon. but there is
no remedy except in a revision of our
naturalization laws. F. "

CHILDREN THE SUFFERERS.
Increased Death Rate Among the Lit
tie Ones.

tie Ones.
The death rate during last week seemed
TO rise with the thermometer, says DIR.
Hammett in the weekly health review Yet
the increase of mortality. in view of the
intensely hot weather, was not so material
as might have been expected. The force of
the high temperature fell most heavily upon
young children. AS was the case in the pre-
ceding week, so in this; over half of all
VINO died were under five years old and
elghty-two were infants under twelve
months of age. A noticeable fact presented
was the total disappearance of pneumonia
and kindred lung diseases. Next to the diar-
rhoeai cases were a large number Of deaths
from stomach and enteric troubles, proba-
bly, caused by the free use of iced drinks
ana exposure to the direct rays of the sun,
which in Washington is especially danger
GUS for pedestrians. Diphtheria and scarlet
Iever and whooping cough still linger in
mild form in scattered sections of the Dis
trlct. Aside from these the general health
OF the city remains at about the average
for this season of the year.

Cut With a Knife.

william Ward and Frank Brown. COL
ored men, who are apparently in love with
the same woman. are separated from the
woman just now. Ward being in the hos
ptal and Brown in Jail Maggie Smith, the
woman in the case, is also in jail, and she
and Brown will be called upon to explain
a charge of assault. Ward and the woman
have been living together in Louise alley,
and Brown, 1t Is alleged, has been in the
habit of calling at the house and in the
neighborhood.
Brown. it is alleged, gave Maggie a knife
last night and told her to cut Ward with
il when he called. Ward called as was eX-
pected and there was a quarrel Maggie
did as she was told and the long thin blade
of the knife entered the left breast of Ward,
causing a severe hemorrhage. which came
near killing him.
Policemen Hayden and Murphy were soon
at the house and arrested the couple and
locked them up. The injured man was
taken to the Emergency Hospital, where
he improved under the treatment of the
physicians, and this morning he appeared
on a fair road to recovery.
A warrant charging attempted murder
was sworn out and the defendants were
committed to await the result Of Wards
injuries.

Charged by an Elephant.

''tusker." Hearing sounds OF a fierce COM

moving the bamboos down with trunk and
tusks, and bearing the heaviest part over

An instant later his demeanor changed
He backed away and stood like statue.
Now the tip OF his trunk came slowly round
in our direction, and i saw that we were
discovered TO his fine sense OF smell
Forward went his ears and UP went his

with astonishing quickness. getting at once
into full speed and bore straight down upon
us.

A PlOughshare for n Bell.

From the Florida Times Union.
In West Jacksonville is a small colored
church. The church is an old edifice and
its congregation has grown steadily until
only one-half of it can be accommodated at
one time. The church has no bell TO call
the pious people to worship. but It has
something that answers the same purpose.
About the time for the brothers and sisters
to assemble. a small boy. probably ten
years old, steps outside the door with big
ploughshare dangling by a string. In the
other hand is a railroad spike. Every ten
seconds or so he strikes the plaughshare
with the spike, and keeps II up for about
ten minutes when he gives a variation in
a series of sharp -aps to initiate the tolling
of bell
The imitation is first rate, and the sound
is not at all unmuscal. and calls the people
to the church just effectually IL the
best bell in the world hung In the steeple.

papa should interview the little one and
correct some faults of speech which she had
fallen into. He heard that she had taken
to using strong words, but he didn't be-

ONE WELL ALL RIGHT,
Prof. Hird's Report on the Water at
9Th and o Streets.

Prof. Hird. chemist in the health depart
n:ent, has finished his examination Of a
sample of water taken from the well at
9th and o streets. and made his report
thereon. This well was closed by the Com
missioners some time ago, although a num-
ter Of citizens entered protests against its
being closed. In the letter transmitting a
copy Of the report concerning the proper
ties contained in the water. Prof. Hird
says: THE analysis of the water from the
pump at the corner of 9th and o streets
northwest shows conclusively that there is
10 contamination of the water with sew
age.
THE analysis further shows that the
water is in good sanitary condition, con-
sidering the length Of time the well has
been closed.
There is no increase in the amount Of
chlorine and the nitrates are entirely alb
sent.
II would recommend. however, that the
water be thoroughly pumped out or the
well be otherwise cleaned before the use
of the water is allowed"
A copy of the letter has been sent to the
Commissioners.

When his fortunes were at their worst,
he sent for Shelby, and asked him IL 1t
would be possible to enlist Americans as he
had originally proposed. Shelby told him
1t was too late; that the Americans he had
brought with him were scattered; that the
Mexican imperialists were deserving; that
there was no time to secure recruits from
the United States; that he could command
now only one recruit for the imperial serv-

The Increasing Numbers.

Secretary Emmons stated that he had
but a little while before received tele-
gram from Gen. Carnahap containing the
information that the total number of men,
bers of the Uniform Rank who had official
ly signifed their intention of attending
the encampment was up to date 14,110.
The letter of Gen. Carnahan, written about
two days before the dispatch. stated that
the number of entries was slightly above
1000. Thus there has been a gain in two
days of pledged attendance of about 5000
soldiers of the lily. These figures are ex-
elusive of the bands which will accompany
this great peace army. A good deal of dis
cussion and Interchange of ideas ensued at
this part of the meeting.
y slight sensation was caused by Mr..
Goodhart, who here arose and stated that
he desired to know whether or not the
tents would be fioored. The circular which
the Pythians' executive committee had
sent broadcast throughout the country had
promised that the tents should be floored.
in conference with the citizens at the Eb-
bitt House that this would be left entirely
to the discretion Of the citizens. and he
record, that they might all know just
where the responsibility rested. Mr.. Med
ford was in accord with Mr.. Goodhart, and
said that the circular, which had been sent
out by the Pythians. and in which the COM
mittee pledged itself to floor the tents, had
been authorized by Gen. Carnahan, and
he intimated that it would be but just for
the general to bear his portion of respon-
Sibility in the matter.
