CHINESE AS CITIZENS,
Judge Morrow Follows the
Decision of Justice
Field.
THIS WAS A TEST CASE.
1t Had Been Brought Up at the
Attorney-General's Sug-
geStlon.
NOTICE OF AN APPEAL GIVEN.
The Far.Reaching Issue TO Be Laid
Before the United States
Supreme Court.

That Chinese born in this country of
parents not in the Chinese diplomatic
service are citizens of the United States,
and may exercise the elective franchise,
and may go and come whenever and
wherever they please, is the effect of
United States District Judge Morrow's de-
cision OF the test case of Wong Kim Ark.
The case was decided yesterday with an
elaborate opinion that makes interesting
reading. An appeal has already been
taken to the United States Supreme Court
by District Attorney Henry S. Foote. He
gave notice yesterday, and, pending the
final decision by the highest judicial
tribunal in the land. the bond of Wong
Kim Ark was fixed at $3.50
If the United States Supreme Court
should sustain Judge Morrow it is be-
lieved the result will be to admit to the

RATES TO Be ADVANCED.
EaStbound Freight via Panama
to Pay a Higher
Tariff.
The New Schedule Expected to Be
Ready in Ten Days-Two More
Steamers Coming.

Two important matters to shippers of
freight to Central American ports and to
New York via the Panama route can now
be announced on the authority of R. P.
Schwerin, the general manager of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
These are that two more steamers are
to be added TO the San Franclsco-P Panama
fleet and that rates to New York are to be
advanced about the middle of the present
month.
Word was received in this City vester-
day from New York that the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company had decided to uti-
lie the steamers City Of Para and the
Colombia, (which had been withdrawn
from the New York-Colon route. on this
side of the continent. Just when thew
will leave could not be learned, but il IS
expected that they will make their an
pearance in this port within the next
ninety days. From New York they will
go to Newport News to take a supply of
coal and will then start on the voyage to
Panama around the Horn, which is ex-
pected to take them about fifty DAYS. At
Panama they will get rid of their surplus
coal cargo and take cargo for San Fran
cisco and way ports.
Their arrival will give the Pacific Mail

Catered to Popular Taste.

A well-known scientist was walking
along London street when he came across
an itinerant astronomer, who was inviting
the passers by to gaze through his tele-
scope at the moon at 4 halfpenny time.
The scientist in London was speculative
enough to venture a half-penny, and
on applying his eye to the instrument
was astonished to see q beautiful picture
OF full moon, although at the time
the moon was only In her second quarter.
Puzzled by the circumstance he exam
ined the instrument and found that it was
not a telescope at all, but simply a tube
with a hole where the eyepiece should be
and a transparent photograph of a full
moon, with light behind it, at the other
end. On the scientist asking the exhibitor
how he could so cheat the public, the man
simply remarked Its all right, sir.

the former into the latter. He must reside
within the State to make him citizen OF it,
Out IL is only necessary that he should be born
or natnralized in the United States to be a citi-
zen OF the Union.
Nor did the Interpretation of the phrase
In the case of Elk VS.. Wilkins determine
Its meaning, explains Judge Morrow In
TINS case the question was whether an In
dian born in the United States, and who
had severed his tribal relations was a citi-
zen within the meaning of the fourteenth
amendment. Justice Gray recognized in
his opinion the two sources of citizenship,
birth and naturalization, and held that it
was necessary for the native born child to
be completely subject to the political juris-
dlction of the country
In conclusion, Judge Morrow confesses
that he has to follow the Field decision in
the Look Tin Sing case, but he explains as
10 the propositions of the common law and
international law:
The doctrine of the law of nations, that the
child follows the nationality of the parents,
and that citizenship does not depend upon
mere accidental place CT birth, is undoubtedly
more reasonable aud satisfactory, but this con-
Nueraton Will not Justify this court Ill declar-
ing IL 10 be the law against controlling judicial
authority. 1t may be that the executive de-
partments OF the Government are at liberty to
follow this international rule in dealing with
questions OF citizenship which arise between
TINS and other countries, but that fact does not
establish the law for the courts as dealing with
persons within their own territory. In this
case the question TO be determined is as to the
political status and rights of Wong Kim Ark
under the law in this country.
No foreign power has interviewed or appears
10 be concerned in the matter. From the law
as announced and the facts as stipulated,
am OF opinion that Wong Kim Ark is a citizen
OF the United States within the meaning of the
citizenship clause of the fourteenth amend
ment.
There was great rejoicing in Chinatown
last night over Judge Morrow's decision.

Company five large and well equipped
steamers for both passenger and freight
business between this port and Panama,
and is expected to place the company in "a
position where it will be able TO handle all
business promptly and in a: most salts
fictOry manner.
For some time past-in fact ever since
the announcement OF the new agreement
between the Panama Railroad Company
and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
General Manager Schwerin has been busy
working on the tariff sheets OF his COM
pany with a view to putting advanced
rates on easIbound business, via Panama,
into effect at the earliest day.
Some idea of the work involved In a gen.
eral change OF rates may be gathered from
the fact that this labor will not be COM
pleted until the middle OF the current
month.
When asked as to how much the rates
would be advanced Mr.. Schwerin stated
that he was not prepared to answer, and
could noC give even an approxima lie idea
OF what average per cent advance would
be made
I'VE shall only make such an advance"
said MI. SchweIin, "as will insure us
profit III the operation of our steamers,
and which we are certainly entitled to- con-
slderlng the well-rCgulated service we have
always given the public. 1t has been no
uncommon occurrence under the low rates
NulCu nave prevailed Tor us 10 md the
balance on the wrong side of the sheet
when the accounts OF the steamers were
made up. OF course such a state OF things
could not be permitted to continue 1t
would simply drive us out of business and
L am sure that that is not what is desired
by the public.
Regarding complaints made by ship
pers, they are generally with little or no
foundation. We can and do handle all the
freight chat is offered as a rule. There is
not single steamship line, [ don't care
how we'll regulated its business may be,
that Is not now and again compelled to re-
fuse few tons of freight, and that is all
that has occurred so far as Central Ameri-
can business is concerned"
Under the new agreement, previously re-
ferred TO, the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany has the right to make only the east
bound rates, while the Panama people
preserve the prerogative of fixing those for
the westbound business. When the at
tentiOn of E. H. Hinton, the local agent
of the Panama Railroad Company, was
called to the proposed action of the Pacific
Mail and he was asked whether his COM
pany intended to advance westbound
rates simultaneously with the Pacific Mail
he replied as follows:
''The eastbound rates are independent
OF the westbound rates. The conditions
surrounding the westbound traffic are diff
ferent from those surrounding the east
bound traffic at this time and | do not
suppose 1t Will be possible to make an ad-
vance at the same time. An advance in
eastbound rates has no immediate bearing
on the Westbound rate situation"

salvation Army Trouble.

The New York Press on Jan. IL
said: Salvation Army men and
lassies received a violent shock
when it was rumored that an or.
der had come from General Booth
in London to the effect that his
son and daughter-in-law, Com
mander and Mrs. Darlington
Booth, must relinquish their Am
erican leadership at the end of
March. 1t is supposed that the
sore point with the London au-
thorities has been the strenuous
efforts made by the leaders to Am
ericanize the movement. The
commander and his wife recently
became American citizens, and
have now a large proportion of
Americans in the ranks of their
paid officers. The removal of the
two popular leaders, will, it is
feared, cause a large withdrawal
of financial help. Commander
Booth refuses to say whether such
an order has been received. His
friends say that if the decree
comes. he may resist. Nearly all
the property, including the head
quarters building in Fourteenth
Street, is in his absolute posses
sion.

today from IL to 2 o'clock, in cele-
bration of the Emperor Williams

British Commissioners, Charge
d. Affaires Canavarro of Portugal
and acting Commissioner Viz

the occasion much quieter than

CHEFA AND THE BIBLE.
Pretended salvation Army Convert
in n Had Business.


in n Had Business.
Sam Kalaluhi was arrested this
morning on charge of peddling
chefa tickets. Sam pretended to
be a Salvation army convert and
went about from house to house,
ostensibly on the business of saw
ing souls, but in reality to peddle
and collect chefa tickets. He was
captured by Detective KAPPA this
morning while on his rounds.
E. Sans principal stock in trade
was an old Bible and religious
appearance. He had both with
him this morning when the detec-
tive tapped him on the shoulder
and arrested him. On looking
through the Bible at the Station
House twenty-thr chefa tickets
were found concealed i'll its leaves.
Upon being searched $3.50 in
chicken feed was found upon
Sans person, which is supposed
to represent the mornings sales
of tickets.
Other evidence in the leaves of
the Bible led to the arrest of Lono
later on by the same officer.
Lono yielded up $3.50, nearly all
in fve-cent pieces, upon being
searched. He is accused of being
the proprietor of the game and
Sam as his agent. They are both
being cared for by turnkey Evans,
until their trial tomorrow.

ON THE
PRESIDENT OF VENEZU-
Ella AND OTHER
INTERESTING
MATTERS.

President CreSpo of Venez-
uela is a tall, heavy man, with
a countenance revealing force
and determination. He is very
abStemious in his habit and
generally goes to bed at 8
o'clock in the evening. He is
in the habit of summoning his
Ministers to. him at sunrise.
He is fond of cattle-ranching,
and owns large number Of
acres not far from the Venezu-
elan capital. He is a fine eques-
trian and has an unlimited
amount of backbone. He also
knows a good thing when a
friend puts him on to it. If he
lived in Honolulu he would be
one Of the first to call at the
store of the Hawaiian Hard
ware Company and examine
some of that fine cutlery just
received by the last Australia.
Beyond question we have now
displayed on our shelves and
in our windows and showcases
the finest lot of cutlery ever
brought to these Islands.
One of those fine carving
sets with ivory or buckhorn
handles in handsome plush
cases would be just the thing
to take the fancy of President
Crespo or his great and good
friend Grover Cleveland. We
have also smaller sets of cary
ers, designed for game and
tete-a-tete dinners.
In the matter of Knives we
have a new stock of everything
in the line, comprising butter,
kitchen, skinning, dessert, table,
putty medium, hunting and
pocket knives in an almost be-
wildering variety.
Those little arl-handled
butter knives are dandieS and
you will want one as soon as
you see them.
Another useful little article
is a pocket nail-Cleaner and
file, which is a novelty and
quite cheap.
We are entirely out of bicy-
cles, having closed out our en-
tire stock last week. We ex-
pect a big lot of the 1896
model of the Tribune and Mon
arch wheels by the next steam
er and shall be pleased to take
your order in advance.
We have also on hand a
fresh supply of Fresh coffee
pots, which sell like hot cakes.

Kaiser is a patriot who esteems
the dignity and integrity of the
Empire as the most sacred trusts

beginning of his reign nearly
eight years ago he rather initiated
the example of the King of Israel,
in rejecting the counsels of the eld-
srs of the nation, but he has done
much since in a cordial way to re-

with increasing years he has ex-

The silver lining to the war

at the same time just settlement of

1t is to be regretted that Homo
lulu's amateur histrionic talent is
not so often in evidence as its
musical talent. There is doubt
hess just as abundant supply of
the former as the latter. Prob
ably the chief reason for the dis
parity in degree of development is
in the fact that, while there is al
ways locally present profession
al contingent of musicians to teach
the art, as well as to assist in pub
lie performances, there is no cir
Gle of professional Thespians
here to do either for the drama.
