Becoming q British Subject.

1t is an easy thing to become Brit
ish subject. All that an alien has to do
is to declare his intention to reside
within the British dominions on leav-
ing his own country, and forthwith he
takes out his naturalization papers, is
sued to him by the secretary of state
upon his taking the oath Of allegiance.
These papers invest him with the
rights and privileges of a Britisher, ex-
cept that he is barred from becoming
a privy councillor or a member of par
lament and also barred from accepting
Office under the crown. But if an alien
be naturalized by special act of par
lament passed for his own benefit
then he becomes as much a British
subject and has all the rights and
privileges as though a native.

Samoan Question Is I'm.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Negotiations
have been commenced between the
three powers signatory to the Berlin
treaty contemplating a permanent set
Element of the Samoan question. Herr
Mumm Won Schwartzenstein, German
special envoy, called at the state de-
partment Monday and discussed Sa-
moan matters with DR.. Hall, acting
secretary Of state. 1t is understood
that the three governments are giving
serious consideration to the advisable
ity of the partitioning of the islands.
Germany is not opposed to such a
plan, declaring that it's adoption will
be the only effectual means of settling
a troublesome question, but she wants
the Island of Upolu, giving Tutuila,
upon which Pago Page harbor is To-
Gated, to the United States and Savaii

BRYAN's KENTUCKY TOUR.
Goes Through the State from Bardwe1l to
Louisville in Day.

Goes Through the State from Bardwe1l to
Louisville in Day.
Louisville, Oct. 1.-THE first days
trip of the Bryan-Goebel party through
Kentucky commenced yesterday morn
ing at Cairo, Ills, the first speech Of
the day being made at Bardwell, KY,
in the presence of good-natured and
gOod-siZed crowd. The special train
reached the Kentucky town at $50
a. N. In his opening address Bryan
demonstrated his purpose to urge the
support of the Democratic state ticket
headed by Goebel for governor. He
held that the question of whether Or
not the next president of the United
States was Democrat depended large
~ upon whether Kentucky was Demo
cratic this fall.
He held that it was not a matter Of
moment what man headed the ticket,
claiming that any Democrat who
stands for the Chicago platform is bet
ter than Republican. In the presence
of the enemy it was not a time to air
personal grievances. The real question
was one as to principles between the
parties. In national matters he as
sailed the attitude of President Nc
Kinley as related to the Philippine ISL
ands. On his trips to this city he
spoke at Fulton, Mayfeld, Benton,
Princeton, Hopkinsville, Norton, Circle
City and Litchfeld. Mrs. Bryan is
with the party.

Pretty Lively Pooling.

I was out walking in Kingston, ia
maica, one afternoon, and while on a.
narrow side street l came upon twoi
black women, each apparently in a
towering rage. Each Woman's tongue;
was going at phenomenal rate, but,
not q word Of their screeching jargon
was ineligible to me.
Finally one Of the women scooped,
up a double handful of the ever pres
ent Kingston dust and flung it over
the other woman with a wild shrek Of,
laughter. The dust covered woman
retaliated by taking a tin pan she had
in her hand and scoOping up couple
Of quarts Of the dirty water in the gut
ter by the roadside drenched her as
sailant with it, while all that part of
Kingston resounded with the mad
laughter. The two women then closed
in on each other and proceeded to
engage in a prolonged wrestle, which
resulted in both of them falling to the
ground, where they rolled over and
stood upon their feet, facing each 9th
CT in a state Of dirt and disorder be-
yond description.
Fearing that they would make Sec
ond onslaught on each other and
wishing to play the part Of peace
maker, l stepped forward and asked:
"What is the trouble?"
Courtesying low, one of the women
said in a SOFT drawing voice:

it was stopped by a red signal and
Engineer White, peering from the cab,
found himself covered by a pair of re-
rOlvers. The engineer and fireman
were then forced to uncOuple the en-

attention to the express car. The mes
senger tried a bluff, saying he would
shoot the first head off that appeared,
but the thugs threatened to dynamite
the car and he yielded, and opened the
door.
The thugs then blew open the safe,
got what it contained, and then disap-
peared. The company offers $4,000 re-

Movement Started Against Some Irish
Members for Treason.
London, Oct. 1S.-One of the first
things developed at the extraordinary
session of parliament was move
ment against Irish members who have
been expressing very downright opin-
ions against the country in the Trans
vaal case as we'll as hopes that the
national forces may be defeated, etc.
Henry Seaton-Karr, a Conservative,
gave notice of question for tomor-
row, concerning the alleged disloyal
utterances of certain Irish National
list members of the house which, he
will contend, are in violation of the
oath of allegiance.
He will take especial exception to
an expression by Patrick O'Brien, Par
nellite, of a hope that the Irishmen in
the British regiments, instead of firing
on the Beers would fire on English
men. He will also refer to similar dec
larations made by Michael Davitt and
William Redmond.
