SEEKING CITIZENSHIP.
Equal Rights League by
the Chinese of Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 3. "A Chinese equal
rights league has been formed here for the
purpose of Americanizing the Cinnamon in
the United States and asking for the rights
of citizenship. The organization was per-
fected under the direction of Wong Chin
Foo, the editor of the Chinese News, the
league having been incorporated under the
laws of Illinois and a charter secured. In
mediately after the filing of the articles of
incorporation the work of securing men,
bers was quietly begun among the Chinese
residents all over the country. Wong Chin
Foo was made president, and he, with the
other officers, has been instrumental in
gathering in several hundred Cinnamon.
No Celestial is to be admitted who is not
thoroughly Americanized or does not de-
clare his intention of becoming so at once.
Every member is required by the laws and
rules 10 adopt American costume, to cut off
his queue and wear the regulation clothing
used in the United States. He must fur
Their declare his intention of residing per-
manently in this country. The founder of
the league assert that within a few months
they will have ten or fifteen thousand
members, and they Will then give evidence
of the great purpose for which they have
organized their association. They will send
a memorial and petition to Congress ask
ing the right OF suffrage AT the office of
the Chinese News, on Clark street, a regis
try department has been established, from
which certificates are issued to Cinnamon
in every part Of the country WHO join the
league.

WILL GO TO THE B. & O.
GENERAL PAsSENGER AGENT MAR
TIN TO LEAVE THE BIG OUR
His Resignation to Take Effect April
of Trunk-Line Association, Dead.

CINCINNATI. April 3.-The
ment is officially made that on April 10
d. b. Martin, now general passenger agent
of the c., c., G. & ST. L., will take Serv-
ice with the Baltimore & Ohio road, with
the little of manager Of passenger traffic.
Mr.. Martin has been with the Big Four and
its predecessor, the Decline, for over thir-
ty consecutive years, during which time he
had made for himself an enviable record
as a passenger man, and his ~weu-known
shrewd, conservative and judicial views on
matters pertaining to his branch of the
service will be of particular value to any
road with which he may be connected at
this period of railroad history. c. O.
Scull, general passenger agent, will re-
main in his present position, and no other
changes are contemplated at present.
Private advices received here yesterday
confirm the above report in regard to Mr..
Martin. No one better knows the ability
of Mr.. Martin as a passenger man than
does Oscar Murray, receiver and vice pres
ident of the Baltimore & Ohio lines, and
William Greene. the general manager, as
both were associated with him on the Big
Four for years. No one will question Mr..
Martins ability as a passenger official.
Though aggressive, he is cautious and lives
strictly up to any agreement he enters into
with a competitor. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Martins services were secured to the
Baltimore & Ohio through a handsome adj
vance in salary. His relations with E.. O..
Mccormick. passenger traffic manager of
the Big Four, have been of the most pleas
ant character, and his services were fully
appreciated. He was always at his post
and ready to do such service as his i'm
portant position required. He has been in
railroad service since July j, 1867, and the
the roads that now form the Big Four
system. He was appointed general passen-
ger agent of the Decline in 1SSS, and. with
the consolidation of the Bee-line with the
Big Four. in 1892, was appointed general
pas senger and ticket agent of the CONSOLE
dated lines.

within three years appointed assistant en-

CHICAGO, April 3.-The new passenger
agreement of the Western Passenger As
ISOLATION will go into effect the fore part of
have approved the plan which the general
passenger agents considered the best for
the association to work under, and the APP
prevail of the executive officers is only a
matter of form, as they have already said
that whatever suited the legal gentlemen
could be put into effect at once, and they
would approve it at their leisure. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be no trouble in TAX
ing care of the rates, as all OF the ROADS
have practically agreed that they will not
make any reductions for some time at
least. There may be trouble when the time
comes for handling the business incidental
to the large conventions of the year, such
as the National Educational Society, the
G.. A. r. and the Christian Endeavor So
trouble, even when there was an agree
ment in force, and they are not likely to
have any other effect when there is no
agreement. The roads are, however, hope
full that they will be able to secure such
legislation by the time this business begins
to move as will enable them to have in
working order their organizations with the
power Of controlling rates.
All the roads. particularly those running
east from Chicago, are complaining of the
poor quality of business. They say that
conditions are not much better now than
in the dark days last fall. There is a
very small amount of traffic being handled
and the roads say there appears to be very
little additional in sight. The only consol-
ing feature is that the roads are not dis
posed to cut rates to get the little business
there is to be had. They are therefore in
far better shape han last November, when
the tariffs were so low and traffic so scarce
that some of the Western roads We're in
great danger OF going into the hands of a

Keeping Children from Parents.

dependent children yesterday. The matron
of one of the orphans homes submitted ii
to w. B. Streetor, the new agent Of the
State Board Of Charities. A child under
her care had been bound out and its father
had applied TO know where IT was. Mr..
Streetor took the case under advisement
until he could look up the new law. Ii
is his desire that the location of children
thus placed out be kept from the knowl-
edge of the parents. He said this was the
invariable rule followed in Michigan,
though the parents could get information
as to the welfare and condition or the child
at any time. His theory is that the child
soon becomes accustomed to its new home
and that knowledge of its location on the
part of its parents only tends to trouble
and discomfort.

Ought to be in Jail.

A dog poisoner has been putting in
his deadly work in this city for few
weeks past, who if discovered will
doubtless wish that he were more
humane in thought and actions. In a
former issue we mentioned the death
oftwo of the Walnut Creek Coon Clubs
hounds from this cause, and last week
Monday J. T. Relf ski TERROR was the
victim of poison. Wednesday another
of the coon clubs hounds died, having
also been poisoned. The dogs kept by
the coon club are all valuable and are
the property of that organization, who
will willingly pay forany damage done
by them, but justly feel chagrined at
the loss of their dogs by poisoning,
and elsewhere in this issue offer $50
for evidence leading to the conviction
of the guilty party. If this despicable
practice does not cease, someone will
probably suffer for it.

DecOrah Wins the Football Game.

The football game on the fair grounds
Thursday afternoon between the De-
corah and West Union football elevens
resulted in victory for the home
team by score af II to o. When the
game was called Decorah won the toss
and chose the east goal, West Union
taking the ball, and kicking off, from
which time Decorah held the ball un-
til the end of the first half, winning
two touchdowns and kicking goal
twice, making the score l2-O. In the
second half Decorah kicked off and
West Union got the ball, but lost it to
Decorah on q tumble. West Union
crowded the home team nearly to it's
goal, but by extra efforts and vigor
they were showed back to the centre.
Time was called with the ball at about
West Unions 80 yard line, neither side
scoring during this half, which left
Decorah victorious. The game was
without special features; Decorah had
u stronger line, but8West Union showed
better training. 1t was throughout a
friendly contest and enjoyed by both
sides.

Louis Dahl in Custody.

Some time last summer Louis Dahl
was arraigned before Justice r. F.
Gibson, charged with keeping gamb-
ling house and selling liquors without
a license. He was given his freedom
on his own recognizance and skipped
out. But short time ago he returned,
and Sheriff Christen found out that he
was occupying the rear rooms of the
second story of the Dahl building on
Washington street, and that he had
been seen to climb down a ladder at
the back of the building and up again
with an armful of wood. On Wednes-
day Sheriff Christen, with officers
Mizener and Olson to watch the
front of the building, climbed up the
ladder and found Dahl in the room.
He has been boHnd over to the grand
jury on $500 bond.
