GIRLS MILITARY COMPANY.

Professor Harker recently organiz-
ed "A military club among the youths
of the High school, and now the girls
are discussing plan for such an or
ganzation. Many High schools and
all of the State Universities in the
States have such organizations, and
they have proved beneficial in many
ways. Then tend to promote disci-
pline and to encourage physical devel-
opment, and also furnish hcalthful
recreation for the boys and girls. The
boys will. no doubt, want guns as
soon as they learn the "facings." The
girls will have to be content with
wands or "broom sticks" as they are
called. 1t has not yet been decided
whether to have uniforms. but it
would be nice.

0F STATESMEN
THAT JAPANESE ARE BARRED
FROM CITIZENSHIP.
No "Asiatic" Unless White Person,
Eligible to the Franchise in Hawaii
--Anti-AnneXation Scheme.

The story sent out from Washington
to the effect that the japanese resi-
dents in Hawaii would become citizens
of the United States, entitled to fran
chise, or that they would have the
same right to become naturalized that
is enjoyed by Europeans immigrating
to this country, is wholly erroneous.
The fear of Hawaii becoming a Mon
golian state, sending Mongolian SEN
ators and Representative to Congress,
is dispeled by Senator Davis and AS
sistant Secretary of State Cridler, who
have fully investigated the matter,
says a special dispatch to the Examin-
er on February 9Th. From their state
ment it appears that no matter wheth-
er Hawaii be annexed or not, no Ja-
panese can become a citizen of the
United States.
In fact, no Asiatc, unless 'white
person. can be naturalized under our
laws.
If the statement in question was put
out for the purpose of defeating an
neXation, it is very apt to prove a
boomerang. Senator Davis said that
there is not the slightest foundation
for the statement. He also states
that there is nothing in the treaty of
1895, which goes into effect in 1890, to
permit any Japanese to become nat
uralized citizens. The clause of the
treaty which has been assumed to per-
nit the naturalization of the Japanese
has, he says, no bearing on the sub
iect. He added:
In 1875 the naturalization laws were
amended to read:
Section 2,160. The provisions of this
title naturalization laws) shall apply
to alieIs- being free, white persons,
and to aliens of African nativity, and
to persons of African descent.
1t will be seen that the statutes ex-
clude Asiatics, and | am aware of no
treaty with Japan which in any way in
terferes with this law. have looked
over the treaty of 1895, but can find
in it nothing which repeals that pro-
vision of naturalization laws.
Assistant Secretary of State Cridler
has fully investigated this question,
and finds abundant precedent to sus-
] nj hot ha
cannot become naturalized citizens of
this country. July ~. 1894, Judge Colt
! of the Circuit Court of Massachusetts,
in the case of the application of Sha-
bata Saito, a japanese, for naturaliza-
ton, decided against the applicant. Tie
stated that the japanese. like the Chi
nese, belonged to the Mongolian race
and that the question presented was
whether they were included within
the term ''white person." He states
in his decision that. after careful
consideration, that he was of the
opinion that they were not so includ
ed and that the application mus
therefore be denied.
I The history of legislation on this
subject shows that Congress has re
) fused to eliminate the word "white'
from the statute for the express rea
son that it would extend the privilege
of naturalization to the MongolaI
race, and that when this word through
inadvertance was left out of the sta
tutes, it was restored as soon as tn,
omission was discovered for the yer,
purpose of such exclusion.

CITIZENS MEAN BUSINESS
WILL EQUIP HONOLULU WITH AN
ELECTRIC SYSTEM.
Hold Meeting at Noon Today and
Choose a Committee to Draw Up a
Prospectus.

Fred j. Lowrey, Clinton j. Ballen-
tyne, j. A. Kennedy, Charles S. Desky
and T. f. lansing are members of a
committee chosen to draw up pros
pectus for an electric street railway.
They were chosen at a meeting of
business men in the private office of
Mr.. Desky at noon today. The com
mittee was instructed to prepare the
prospectus at the earliest possible mo-
ment and report back at a meeting to
be called by Chairman Lowrey. If sat
isfactory another committee will be
chosen to solicit capital from the cit
izens, charter will be drawn up and
franchise applied for of the Legis-
lature.
The meeting this noon was repre-
sntative. Among those present were

Chesney. Capt. Dodge, j. A. Camp
bell, w. c. Weldon and others.
Manager w. H. Paine of the Tram
way company was not present.
Mr.. Lowrey was chosen chairman
and Mr. Gilman was made secretary,
Mr.. Desky stated that the object of
the meeting was for the purpose of
having the voice of the business men
relative to proposition to con-
struct an electric road in Honolulu,
with home capital.
Chairman Lowrey stated that the
uppermost idea of the citizens inter
ested in the formation of the new COM
pany was that Honolulu should have
decent service. He believed that
there was no question but that this
government could cancel the franchise
given the present Tramway company
under the head of eminent domain
The company had surely violated its
part of the franchise.
1t might be that the government
could offer a franchise embracing al
the streets of Honolulu and suburbs
| The franchise could be offered at pub
lie auction.
Senator McCaRdless stated that dur
ing 1896 the Tramway company car
ried one million and half of people
in Honolulu. The experience had beer
in the States that where horse car!
have been abandoned and electricity
used that the traffic increased from
four to six fold. He would sugges
that the company not be limited tC
any one power, as compressed air may
be suitable.
Capt. Dodge suggested that the com
pany be known as "The Honolulu
Rapid Transit Company" This seem
ed to meet with favor, although no de
finite action was taken.
1t was agreed that every business
man and citizen who has the interest
OF the city at heart will be invited t,
assist in floating the new tramway

NOTES AND OPINIONS

There is a pretty close approach to
unanimity among the intelligent and pro-
gressive papers of the country in favor of
increasing the regular army to 10000
men. A law passed at the beginning of
the war provided for an expansion of the
army to 62, 900, but reduction to the old
figure of about 5000 was to take place at
the end of the war. This stipulation will
have to be rescinded, or, better still, a
new act will have to be passed nearly
doubling the present strength of the army.
The war will not officially end until after
the treaty of peace is ratified by the Sen
ate, and the treaty is not likely to be fin
ished before the meeting of Congress.
One of Congress most urgent duties will
be to pass an army expansion bill at the
earliest possible moment. With Cuba,
Rorto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines
to garrison, and the defenses on our home
seacoast lines to thoroughly man, an army
of less than 100, 900 would be insufficient.

marred the management of the War De

A genuine examination of the measures
taken to prepare the army for its work in
the recent war will be desirable, whether
undertaken by commission designated
by the President, or by Congress, or both.
The investigation will not lead to the re
suits hoped for by those whose partisan
clamor on the subject is intended to in
fiuence the approaching elections Nc
reasonable person believes that the gov.
eminent has stumbled into an extraordin-
airy series of victories through corruption,
neglect and incompetency, as charged by
some politicians The energy and success
of the administration throughout the per
iod of hostilities is beyond question.
But the health of the troops at the front
and in the camps has been matter OF
grave concern and the methods of sup
plying the army have been the subject of
numerous charges. That there was wan
ton neglect is not credible. A few indi.
viduals in an army of over 200, 900 may
have ignored their duty, but jealous effort
was the rule in the various departments.
In no previous war was there such gen
eral shifting of camps and extension of
hospital facilities for the treatment of
sick soldiers and the building up of those
who were exhausted by tropical cam
paign.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
