1t will probably surprise many persons to learn
that there can be any question under our
naturalization laws in regard to the Jurisdiction
Of tho Federal courts to admit Mexicans to
citizenship In the United States. Tho right to
naturaliZe a citizen OF Mexico, however, has
recently been seriously disputed before Judge
Thomas g. Maxey of the United States District
Court for the Western District OF Texas, upon
the ground that the applicant was not a white
person. nor an African, nor OF African descent,
but that his color was the color of an Indian.
After long consideration, the objection was pro-
nounced invalid and tho Mexican was allowed to
become q citizen of this country.

the chain Of evidence TO establish the guilt of tho
defendants was the testimony Of a boy who was
only 8 years old at the timo of the occurrences
which he narrated; and the question whether a
conviction necessarily based on the statements
of this youthful witness should be allowed TO
stand has given considerable trouble to the
courts. The Judges were divided In the Supe-

sends some interesting comments upon the con-

"At daybreak this morning the Turks reached
Larissa, after a campaign which reflects tho
utmost credit on Edhem Pasha and the Turkish
army. We first drove back the Greeks by cor
rect and patient strategy, without hurry and
without heavy loss, and then crowned our GEN
erals cautious moves by a bold, irresistible blow.
1.-THE town was occupied almost without re-
~sistance. The greater part OF the Greeks had
taken to wild and disorderly flight before our
men arrived. In the opinion OF Turkish officers
it will be impossible TO rally these fugitives, who
have displayed the most arrant cowardice.

A BICYCLE TAX.

Chicago, July 13.-Every bicycle in Chi
cago will have to pay a yearly tax of
81 if Mayor Harrison signs the ordi-
mace which the council passed last
night. Vehicles of every description
are taxed from 81 to $12 per annum
under the provisions of the same ordi-
nance. In the city there estimated to
be 300, 900 bicycles and sufficient vehi-
cles to make the revenue derived from
the ordnance, $1,000 900 per annum. Ev-
cry dollar of this is to expended upon
repairing and keeping in good condi-
ton improved streets. Mayor Harri-
son says so far as he has studied the
ordinance, he is in favor of it and
thinks he will sign it. The vote by
which the council passed it was so to
16 The ordinance provides that be-
sides the tax of one dollar per annum,

at no point has the work been allowed
to deteriorate.
There has been a deal of clever d.
plomatic work done in Washington
during the past year to prevent the
Nicaraguan canal scheme from being
carried through Congress. Mexico, Co.
lombia and Costa RIGA have been par
ticularly active in their operation.
The dispute over Salinas bay and
the mouth Of the San Juan was one of
the obstacles raised to block the pro-
gress on the Nicaraguan project and
the extremely unfavorable report of the
engineering commission sent by Pres
ident Cleveland had its weight. Near
aqua sent one of the ablest diplomats,
j. d. Rodriguez, to Washington to see
If treaty could be formulated which
would insure the active participation
of the United States in the construc-
ton of her canal. 1t did not take long
to discover that he had undertaken a
hopeless task and he returned home
early in June discouraged at the pros
pect.
The United States has always been
extremely Jealous of anything looking
toward European control Of Isthmus
transit. The Panama Railway COM
pany is an American institution, char
tered and managed in the United
States, although its stock is an asset Of
the Panama Canal company.
While France was permitted to Sc
cure the privilege of building and oper-
ating a canal under concession to
Lieut.. Napoleon Wyse, the neutrality
of the isthmus is still maintained be-
tween Colombia and the United States.

TO MAKE THE WOMEN WORK.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 1S.-The po-
lice department of Kansas City began
this morning working women prisoners
at breaking stone, the same as the
male prisoners. The police commits
sioners adopted this rule upon recon-
mendation of Chief Quarles who argued
that women prisoners kept in idleness
were not sufficiently punished.
They do not object to going to jail
at all lin fact they seem to like it," the
chief said.
The police commissioners have adop-
ted regulations for the innovation. The
women will wear coarse overalls the
same as the men. They will have no
skirts to impede their work. The
working of the women prisoners will
be the first effort of the kind ever made
in Kansas City.

BANKS CONSOLIDATE.

Kansas City, Mo. July 1S.-The Times
announces that the Midland bank of
which S. B. Armour, of the well-known
Armour company, is president, is to
+be consolidated with the National bank
of Commerce and that the deal has
reached a point where only the sane
ton of the comptroller of the currency
is needed to consummate it. The Off
cials of neither bank will give any in
formation as to the deal nor the details
of the transaction. The Midland Ma
tional has long been considered one of
the solid financial institutions of the
city and it has the strong backing of
the Armours. Only few months ago
the National Bank of Commerce also
absorbed the Metropolitan National
bank and it was announced at that
time that negotiations were looking
to the consolidation of at least one
other national bank with the institu-
ton.

WORRIED TO DEATH.
Millionaire Suicides to Rid Himself of
His Wife Who Troubled


Los Angeles, Cal, July 13.-Charles
C. Creole, the millionaire owner after
whom the town of Creole, Col, is nam
ed, committed suicide with morphine
last evening at his home IN this city
because his wife, from whom he had
separated, insisted upon renewing their
martial relations.
On January 4, last, Creede and his
wife separated and agreed to dissolve
at once as far as possible without le-
gal process their martial bonds. Mrs.
Creole accepted $4,000 cash and sur
rendered all further claims upon her
husband, at the same time voluntarily
Withdrawing from his premises. 1T
was understood, after the necessary
time had elapsed, Creole would insti-
tute legal proceedings and begin suit
for absolute divorce. At that time 1t
appeared that both husband and wife
were well satisfied that they were not
required to maintain intimate relations
and while Mrs. Creole considerd that
the amount of cash settled upon her
was insignificant as compared with
her husbands wealth, she left him and
took up her home in San Francisco.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Creole re-
turned to Los Angeles and proposed to
her husband reconciliation. This
was much to Creede's distaste, and he
endeavored to avoid his wife, but be-
ing unsuccessful he determined to end
his life. Last evening he took large
dose of morphine and went into the
GA rden IN die He was discovered nv
a servant and medical aid was sum-
moned but he died two hours later.
Mrs. Creole was notified of her hus-
bands death, but declined to discuss
the tragedy. The two-yesr-Old child
of Edith Walters Walker, the actress,
adopted by Creole over a year ago,
