CHINESE i'm s HAWAII
Those Residing Under Former Gov
eminent May Return.
SETTLEMENT OF IMPORTANT QUESTION
Full Text of Opinion Rendered by
Solicitor General Richards.
AN EXHAUSTIVE Urea

Solicitor General J. K. Richards of the De-
partment of Justice has rendered decision
that Chinese who were resident in Hawaii
under the former government and deported
therefrom temporarily under the regula-
tons then in force, supplied with permits
issued by the then existing government, are
entitled to return to Hawaii. The very
important question was submitted to the
solicitor general by Secretary Gage some
time ago, when Inspector Brown, the col
lector general of customs in Honolulu, de-
MED certain Chinese the right to land I'M
der permits issued by the former govern
ment. The opinion, which was approved by
the Attorney General, is given herewith in
full:
THE joint resolution providing for an
nexing the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States was approved July Z, 1898, and pro-
claimed in the islands August -, 1898.
This resolution, while providing that
the municipal legislation of the Hawaiian
Islands not inconsistent with this
joint resolution nor contrary to the Con-
stitution of the United States nor to any
existing treaty of the United States shall
remain in force until the Congress of the
United States shall otherwise determine
and that until Congress shall provide for
the government of such islands all the
civil, judicial and military powers eXer-
cised by the officers of the existing govern
ment in said islands shall be vested in such
person or persons and shall be exercised in
such manner as the President of the United
States shall direct contains the following
paragraph:
There shall be no further immigration of
Chinese into the Hawaiian Islands, except
upon such conditions as are now or may
hereafter be allowed by the United States
and no Chinese, by reason of anything
herein contained shall be allowed to enter
the United States from the Hawaiian ISL
ands.
ION October 81, 1898, in response to your
inquiry of October II, 1898, relative to the
status of the Chinese in the Hawaiian Isl
&nds expressed the opinion that:
The restrictions placed by our exclusion
laws upon the admission of Chinese per-
sons OF TIE exempt classes and the reg
ulatlons made under the provisions of the
treaty between the United States and China
providing for the departure and return to
this country of registered Chinese laborers
are to be held applicable to Chinese per
sons applying for admission to the Ha-
Waiian Islands, and to such persons resid-
ing there and who may wish to depart with
the intention of returning
FOLLOWING this opinion, you directed Chi
nese inspector j. K. Brown to proceed to
the Hawaiian Islands and cooperate with
the customs officers there in enforcing the
treaty, laws and regulations which govern
the admission of Chinese into the United
States

SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Four Suspects Under Surveillance
The $4,000 Approximation.

The health department has under surveiI-
lance today four cases of suspected small
poN. Two new cases of the disease were
reported to the department, late yesterday
afternoon, and both were removed to the
smallpox hospital. These were George
Courtney and his sister who called at the
Eastern Dispensary, the former having the
disease in its first stages, while the latter
was just recovering from an attack Their
home is at No. 200 Washington Court.
In reference to report that a contractor
Tor the District had refused to deliver coal
a. houses where there is a smallpox sign
displayed DR.. Woodward said today that
the department would, if necessary, hire
teams for the delivery of that article leav-
ing the question of settling with the con-
tractor to a later date.
Late yesterday afternoon Chairman Cam
non called up in the House the Senate res
olution, appropriating $4,000 for the pre-
vention Of the spread of smallpox and other
contagious diseases in the District. He
asked unanimous consent for its Immediate
consideration. There was no objection, and
the resolution was passed.
Health Officer Woodward this afternoon
became satisfied that one of those under
suspicion a well-defined case of the
disease, and the patient, Mrs. Crump was
removed from her home, No. 623 MARYLAND
avenue southwest, to the smallpox hospital
The ban of suspect was removed from one
of the others under surveillance the ply
SicianS being satisfied that there was no
longer any necessity for them to exercise
watchfulness in that direction. 1t was
from Mrs. Crump's house that Engineer
Curtin, who was then suffering with tho
smallpox, was taken two weeks ago.

certain rights with which no unjust inter-
ference is to be presumed. a provision di-
rected in terms to all Chinese about to
come into the United States was therefore
construed so as not to apply to Chinese re-
turning to the United States, although, in
fact, person cannot return TO the Unit ed
states without coming into this country.
In other words, an alien resident is not an
alien immigrant. Under our alien imrnigra-
ton acts 1t has been held that an alien
who has resided in this country without
becoming naturaliZed and who departs with
the intention of returning, Is not to be
deemed an Immigrant upon his return, al
though he was an alien immigrant when
he first entered the country. (51 F. r.
30; 63 F. R., 437.)
Applying this wholesome doctrine TO the
case submitted. the Chinese who. under
the former government of the Hawaiian
Islands, became domiciled in the islands
acquired certain rights, among which was
the right to leave the islands for a tenn
porary purpose and return. 1t is not TO be
presumed that Congress, which recognizes
the right of such Chinese to be and remain
in the islands, intended to interfere with
the incidental right of returning to the
islands after temporary absence. Chinese
laborers have been for years absolutely
prohibited from coming into the United
States; yet all the time We have permitted
and now permit Chinese laborers lawfully
within the United States to leave this coun-
try for temporary purpose and return.
Accordingly, in view of the manifest in
justice of interfering with a right Incl
dental to lawful residence in the islands
the words no fl rther immigration should
be construed so as to apply only to actual
additional immigration into the islands,
namely, the coming of Chinese into the
islands for the first time after annexation
and not to the return to the islands of
Chinese who have lawful residence there
and are simply exercising the recognized
right of returning after a temporary alb
SERGE to their business and their homes
Your question is, therefore, answered in

Copper.mith Keefer,s Heroism

Coppersmith B. p. Keefer of the battle
ship Iowa. son of Mr.. P. F. Keefer of Cap

stated:
After hauling the two inboard furnaces
he was about to cross the fire room through

The circumstances of Miss Skerrett's i'll

seemed filed. Day and night she studied

The Location.

The city has at last purchased site

sixteen acres of land for $4,000 The
site was selected from large number
that were offered by the special commit

purpose, comprising Aldermen Cortes,
Dickson and Aubertin.
The exact location of the site is some

nursery, the old Noble homestead and a
part OF Young's brick yard 1t is located
along both banks of the bayou, partly in
the Fourth and partly in the Sixth wards.
III is one Of the most picturesque sites
along the bayou beautifully shaded and
with several natural grottos and rustic
environments that with a little assist
ance from art can be made exceedingly
attractive. There are swarded and sloping
gullies and ravlnes that can be spanned
by rustic bridges and plenty of room for
pretty graded drveways and flower beds.

the park is sufficiently wide to admit of
