relative to the enforcement of the

says:
I'm order more effectively to prevent
the Irregular admission to this country
of Chinese persons claiming to be of
American birth through the submission
of testimony believed to be fraudulent,

Chinese of alleged American birth ap-

should, after such examination as may
be required to secure their identity,

journey, but in each instance meas
ures should be taken to arrest them
again and deliver them to the proper
authorities for the institutions of legal
proceedings to determine their rights to
remain in the country
1.-The departments attention has been
called to instances where Chinese per-
sons suspected of being irregularly in
the United States, upon being interro-
gated, have produced certificates signed
by United States Commissioner
stating that the persons had appeared
before him and had been adjudged to
be lawfully in the United States, as
they were citizens. BY the provisions
of the Act of May 6, 1882, State and
Federal courts are prohibited from ad-
mitting Chinese to citizenship, and the
question whether children born in the
United States of Chinese parents are
citizens is now pending in the Supreme
Court.

fore the proposed advance Of column

FIERCE FOREST FIRE.
Ten Thousand Acres of Timber
Land Burned in Montana.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 30.-An Anaconda
(Mont) special to the Dispatch" says:
A fierce forest fire is raging a few
miles west of here, and spreading with
alarming rapidity toward this city. The
fire has already burned over 10000
acres of timber. A messenger from the
burned district says that Georgetown
and Silver Lake are both in the track
of the fire, and unless something is done
to check the flames great loss of prop
erty and life may result. Near George
town a terrible fire has generated, and
flames 100 feet high can be seen from
the village. Much anxiety is felt here
over the outcome, but no action to stay
the fire has been taken.
ANACONDA (Mont), Aug. 30.-No
further reports have been received from
the forest fires, and they are supposed
to now be under control.

A Rush for Indian Maidens.

There is a rush in the matrimonial
market over the Cherokee Strip now.
The Rev. Gordon performed the cere-
mony to-day that united three white
men to as many Indian maids The
cause of all this rush is the fact that
August 10Th is the last date upon which
qualification as a Cherokee citizen can
be made. and as each dusky maid Of
the forest carries with her a dowry of
160 acres of Territory land, squaw men
are being made very fast. It has been
the custom for many years for white
men to go into the Indian Territory
and marry Indian girls, but never was
there such a. rush as at present among
young white men for Indian wives and
the accompanying 100 acres of land.
To become a lawful citizen of the In
dian Territory all marriages must now
be made according to the Cherokee Gus
tom. To this none of the white men
object. = Sloan Springs (Ark.) corre-
