SPECIAL COURT DRESS
TO BE WORN BY LATfN-AMERICAN
DIPLOMATS AT WASHINGTON.
Secretary of State Hay Alleged to
Have Warmly Endorsed the Propo-
sition OF senior Arriaga.

CHICAGO, Sept. 14-A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Diplomatic and official circles are dis
cussing with interest rumor that the
secretary of state has warmly Endorsed the
adoption of a special court dress uniform.
Senior Don Antonio Lazo Arriaga. the pres
ent dean of the Latin-American diplomatic
corps, Is the father Of this innovation.
Ever since he succeeded to the deanship on
the death of Matias Romero, the Mexican
ambassador, Senior Arrfaga has been urg-
ing the adoption Of a ceremonious uniform
by his colleagues. This has always been
fad with some of the Central and South
American ministers, but Senior Romero,
who was personally austere and formal al
ways set his face against such display upon
the part of republican representatives. In
order to remove the objections of several
Of his confreres Senior Arriaga determined
to sound the American secretary of state as
to his views upon this absorbing matter.
He was pleased that the idea found singular
favor with Mr.. Hay.
When the subject was preached some Of
the South American diplomats were very
much afraid of offending the taste of the
officials of the United States by appearing
in special Uniform. Mr.. Hay informed Senior
Arriaga that, so far was he from Directing.
that he cordially Endorsed the project as a
move in the right direction. He went fur
Their and stated that the customs which
have grown up in the United States of re-
stricting its ambassadors, ministers and
other diplomatic officers to the severe black
evening dress were now, to say the least,
obsolete Indeed the practice exposed the
American diplomat to the charge Of osten-
tation more than IL he were clothed in the
most gorgeous raiment. His plain back
was conspicuous display Of republican hu-
miity and might well be dropped as con-
cession to the taste Of the rest of the world.
At any rate. it would be more In con-
sonance with good taste to accord to the
usual fashion than to be conspicuously diff
ferent.
Acting under this approval Senior Arriaga
and his Latin-American brethren have
ordered their uniforms from Paris and will
add to the splendor of the state ceremonies
at the White House and other functions
next winter. The exact design Of these
uniforms is left largely to the taste OF the
Paris court tailors but In general features
ii will be a sort of tuxedo coat. with gold
frogs down the front and a wide fringe
Of gold embroidery around the hem, The
color Of the garments will vary with the
| countries represented. Besides the coat
there will be knickerbocker trousers and
silk stockings and pumps. The main part
| of the costume is thus decided upon, but
| there is still considerable discussion going
! on among the South Americans as to
whether 1t will be proper for them to wear
| swords when in full court dress upon solemn
| occasions.

Interesting Question In View of Gem

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE Manila
American. a copy OF which has been re-
ceived at the War Department. discusses
the Chinese situation in the Philippines. and
what 1t has to say becomes interesting in
view of the order of General Otis to enforce
the Chinese immigration laws and Chinese
exclusion act against the Chinese in the
Philippines. The paper says: In the ma
tive inhabitants Of these islands the Chinese
long ago discovered kindred race; the
climate suited him and he found the coun-
try naturally richer and less crowded than
China. Since then he has been here and as
the country cannot very well do without
him. 1t is safe to say he is here to stay.
His sojourn in the land and his association
with the natives modified his ideas a little
Most Of the Chinos born In the islands have
foresworn their allegiance to the Emperor

living their life there they have 80 desire
that after death their bodies should rest In

their own Under the Spanish regime many
OF them had acquired wealth and received
appointments to important positions. To-
day there are lots OF Chinese Mestizos Of
ficers In the insurgent army and they are
said TO Be the bittersst insurrectos OF all.
Most Of the Mestizos are OF the Catholic

verted. Granting that the Chinos of the
Philippines have already made some prog

changed conditions Will do much for their
children. But the problem is not one of
posterity alone. The Chinos Of the present
must be first considered. Is he entitled TO

and is the status Of his citizenship to be the

The laws OF the United States forbid the
naturalization OF Chinese, but the Chinos
who were born here or who were in the

TRANSPORT RELEASED.
The Tartar Granted Clearance Papers

The TIA rtar Granted Clearance Papers
by HOng-kong Authorities.
WASHINGTON. Sept 14.-Clearance pa
pers have been allowed the Tartar at Hong
Kong. 1t is expected she will proceed to
the United States at once The information
that clearance had been allowed came in a
dispatch to Adjutant General Corbin this
morning from Colonel Metcalf, command
ing the Twentieth Kansas and the troops
aboard the transport. 1t Is supposed that
clearance papers were allowed on the sug-
gestion of the British Foreign Office to the
British governor at Hong-Kong that it
would be unwise to interfere with American
transports. Another dispatch from Colonel
Metcalf in reply to one sent yesterday
states that tine Tartar was no more over
crowded and that the food was as good as
that on other transports leaving Manila.
He says that the trouble arose among the
discharged regular soldiers who were re-
turning home on board the ship. General
Otis wired to-day: mo complaints received
of overcrowding Tartar before sailing.
Troops and others on Tartar supplied with
same kind Of food as troops you mention.
Discharged soldiers. OF whom Tartar car
ries 407, apt to be fault-finding."
The incident Is now regarded as closed.
1t is learned at the State Department that
the representations made to Mr.. Choate, our
ambassador at London. on this subject were
not in the nature Of protest.

Too Much Censorship,

Some of our lmperialistic friends are
getting quite put out at the exercise of
free speech by the people of this coun-

strict censorship at Manila, and all the
news we get from our soldiers comes
through his agent. Imperialism, it
will be observed, brings its penalties.
If we go into it we will. have to pay the
price. We will have to give up the
right Of free speech and say only things
that please the military authorities

Women in the Industrial Void
