THE WONG KIM ARK CASE.
Question of Chinese Citizenship
Will Not Be Decided
This Spring.
Attorney General Harmon's Attitude.
A Decision Wanted on the Merits
of the Case.

The case of Wong Kim Ark now pend
ing in the United States Supreme Court, a
decision in which Will definitely settle the
question of whether native of this coun-
try, born of Chinese parents, is or can be-
| come a citizen and a voter, will not be
heard at the spring term.
Word to this effect was received by
United States District Attorney Foota and
George d. Collins in this City yesterday.
Attorney General Harmon had hoped to
have the case advanced and placed on the
spring calendar, so that decision could
be reached in time to prevent the voting
of the 500 Chinese in San Francisco who
claim to be native sons of California. 1t
transpires however, that the Supreme
Courts calendar is so crowded that the
Department of Justice could not have the
case advanced, and it will now come up at
| the October term.
at is to be regretted, of course, that the
case could not be advanced said Attor-
ney Collins yesterday, "but Mr.. Harmon
has informed US that the calendar was in
such a condition that the desired advance
ment was impossible.
There is just one thing to be done now,
signed to ask the court to defer its decis-
ion until after the elections. / believe Mr..
Harmon is in full accord with our views
on this matter, and that this course will be
pursued.
"There is every probability that should
| the Supreme Court be called upon for de-
| cson before the date of election q decree
| might be rendered not SO much upon the
bare merits of the case as we could wish.
| T. tonf ION, hot a nf a liop q
who may not or have not become citizens
of the United States are not, bv reason of
| their birth alone. citizens of the United
| States. This is a point that has never yet
been brought before the United States
| Supreme Court. 1t Is not the only point
we RELY upon for a reversal of Judge Nor
rows perfunctory ruling, yet the point is
| of such nature that we desire decision
upon it's merits alone, aside from any
question of policy which, should the de-
cision be given just before election, the
| court would certainly be justified in con-
sidering. Hence we shall ask that the
decision be postponed till after November.
"If this is complied with and the point
ruled upon, as we hope it will be, there
will be ample time before another election
/ for the Caucasians who may be dis
franchised by the ruling to make good
their citizenship"
Notwithstanding that the Supreme
! Court of the United States will not be
| likely to afford relief from the 500 Chinese
OF this City who threaten to cast their bal
| lots in the fall, there is quite strong feel
! ing in this City over the question, and ef-
| forts will be made to put quietus on the
am bition of these young ChinoA Americans.
They will be, at least and by all means,
examined most severely on the educa-
tional qualification, and to this end the
.'native sons" are now learning the consti-
tuition by heart.

There is a belief that sailors succumb to
acquired diseases, accidents on board ship
and sickness brought on by exposure. The
United States Marine Hospital Service re.
port for 1894 shows that tifty-six men OF
the sea died that year. These cases are
divided into general diseases, %; local, y;
injuries, 2. Consum ption ended the days
OF seventeen of this number and only one
man succumbed to scurvy.
The other diseases tnat proved fatal were
OF the nervous, circulatory, respiratory
and digestive systems. This is news to
many landsmen, who imagined that Jack
was usually drowned, or died according to
some queer belief about sailors. The
strangest of it all may be this--that as a
rule Jack finds his last resting place ashore,
and that the number who go to Davy
Jones are infinitely in the minority.
When the summons comes for Jack to go
aloft he is dressed in his own clothes, that
is the apparel he wore Oh entering the
institution. Then they place HIM, this
rough sailor, with his dress of the sea,

COWS WILL BE KILLED,
Diseased Bovines Under the Ban of the
Board of Health-Dafrymen
Arrested.

Milk Inspector Dockery's crusade against
the dairies that have failed to comply with
the Board of Health regulations prohibit
ing the. keeping of sick cows will begin

ample notice to rid themselves of their

keepers who have failed to take out per-
mits to sell milk will be arrested and
prosecuted in the Police courts.
Dockery was ON the San Bruno road

while the milk examined was of good
quality, and, therefore, passed muster, he
caught two milkmen without the required
registered number on their wagons, and
arrested them. They were l.. de Santi
and Zeno Gwerder, proprietors of the San

Terrible Struggle in Beer Vault.

George Fox, Scranton saloonkeeper,
had a thrilling experience on Friday
morning. There is an underground
vault in the rear of his saloon that was
used several years ago for storing beer.
The vault is 60 feet deep, $50 feet long
and about so feet wide. There is nearly
six feet of water and sewage in it..
There is a small structure over it which
was fitted up with apparatus for lower
ing the barrels into the vault. Since
the place has been abandoned the build
ing has at various times been used for
storage purposes. Fox went in there
and the floor gave way beneath him.
He went feet foremost and had a ter
rible struggle to keep his head above
water on account of the bruises he sus-
tanned. He was in the vault about three
hours when his shouts were heard by
some children and ropes were lowered
to him and he was taken out.

Morgan Wants n Hetraction.

The repeated statements of the
Wilkesbarre Neusdedler, that Morgan b.
Williams received from 80, 900 to $16, COO
after John Leisenring was nominated
for congress two years ago, said amount
being a reimbursement of Williams ex-
penses in the fight, has brought denial
from Williams, and he threatens to
institute proceedings for criminal libel
unless retraction is made. He claims
he did not receive any money for turning
in for the ticket after he was defeated
for the nomination.
While the matter so far is only oues-
tion of vcracity between the Ne,Csdealey
and Mr.. Williams, there are not few
who believe that some inducement was
used to bring the latter into line in 1894,
and as the NeUSdealer knows as much
about the underground workings of that
campaign as any one in Luzerne county,
it is possible that Mr.. Williams will be
treated to surprise before the paper is
done with him.
