ity the child may adopt the citizen
ship of any country. That is the
difference between nationality aud
citizenship. If child is born in a
foreign country while the father is
in the service Of the United States,
that child is a naive of the county
in which born, but is a citizen OF the
United States. If born, say for in

father was there on a foreign mis-
sion, representing the United States,
that child would be Chinese, but

THE LABOR QUESTION,

Caspar Whitney, treating The
Labor Question Of Hawaii for Fl ar
per's Weekly, says, in opening the
matter: Perhaps no other feature
in Hawaiian industrial life proven
such a boon, to those sentimentalists
whose habit it is to speak twice be-
fore thinking once, as the contract
labor question which has ruled nth
erto on these Islands. They have
called it Hawaii's legalized slavery
and likened it unto negro slavery as
it is formerly existed in the South,
comparisons that give fine opportu-
uiy for harangue from the rosirum,
but in truth reveal the superfciality
that appears to be the usual accom-.
pauiment OF modern sentimental
ism. The comparison is absurd and
discloaes ignorance" Mr.. Whitney
then goes on to fill pages of his pa
per with statements that will lead a
reader in Hawaii. nei to think that
he should have thought more than
twice before writing once. However,
he was stranger in Hawaii and the
Cookies, Athertons, Rices, Water,

Mr.. Whitney says that Japanese
began to come to Hawaii in 1886 and
then enlarges as follows: "The first
shipment Of Japanese was gathered
from the cities and proved. an unde-
sirable lot, who disregarded agree
ments and caused the government
and planters much loss of time and
money. 1t was obvious, therefore,
some arrangement must be made
that would guarantee government
and planters against loss of the mo-
ney they advanced to assist laborers.
Thus began the contract labor
system SO disturbing to the senti-
mentalists."
Shades of Ananaias, defend usl
The contract labor system was in
vogue in the ffties before the Jap
anese were dreamed of but, then
Mr. Whitney, as an advocate, had to
make case.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-05-30

Mr.. Whitney, after quoting the
main features of labor contract
says: "There is abundant cause for
criticizing the labor contract system
of the Hawaiian Islands; not, how
ever, that it savored of slavery; not
that it not violated the canons of
free labor, or even permitted injus-
tice or cruelty to be visited upon
laborers; not that it failed in any
particular to upholdthe workman's
individual rights"
Mr.. Whitney must hold singular
views on the "canons of free labor"
injustice and "workman's individual
rights" He evidently took no pains
to ascertain how labor are
construed by magistracy that is
dependent upon managers of estates
for many favors that go to make life
pleasant; neither does he seem to
have looked up the decisions OF our
higher courts constituting our labor
laws. Had Mr.. Whitney taken the
pains to interview the Galicians in
Oahu Prison he might have held
different views on the "canons" and
"rights" he prates about.

Arctic Clothing.

The sleeping-bag is made Of the win
ter skins of the deer sewed together,
with the hair turned in, long enough for
man to lie at full length inside, and
fitted with a. flap to haul over the head
after getting in. The boots are made
of. the skin from the legs Of the deer,
the hair outside, while the soles are the
hide Of the oogrook, or large hair seal.
Inside the boots are worn deerskin
socks, with the hair next the feet, and
inside these again are worn one and
sometimes two pairs of heavy wooden
socks. The shirt, or parkie, is made
of the summer skins of the deer, these
being lighter, and is double-that is,
it is really two parkies in one, so that
there is hair next the body and outside
as well. 1t is fitted with hood, which
is trimmed around the face with wolf
skin, for the hair of that animal being
long and coarse, it affords excellent
protection from the cold and biting
winds. The trousers are generally sin
gle, and made of the thick winter
skins, with the hair turned out
Deerskin combines two very essential
properties-it is very warm and very
light; in fact, the double parkie does
not weigh any more than the average
double-breasted sack coat of civiliza-
ton, and our sleeping bags weighed
only twelve pounds. Our hand covering
consisted of deerskin mittens, with
wooden gloves or mittens inside, so that
when it became necessary to work
around the sled or adjust the dog har-
ness, the. clumsy deer nit could be
slipped off, and the hands still be pro-
tected by the wooden gloves.-Harper's

These remarkable hsaddrssses may
be the natural sequence to the earlier

THAT FATAL SHOT.
Partial Inquest in the Hampton
Shooting Case.

Coroner McMullen last evening con-
Quoted a partial inquiry into the cause
of death of the late Mrs. Sydnfa Hamp-
ton, who on the 18th inst. died at her
home in Slater's Addition from pistol
shot wound fired by herself, and said
to have been accidental.
Mr.. Hampton, husband of the de-
ceased, testified that his wife, on the
morning Of the shooting, entered the
bedroom where he was asleep. She
placed one hand on his breast to
awaken him, and when he opened his
eyes he saw a pistol in her other
hand.
He attempted to seize the pistol, but
she threw up her hand and he caught
her around the waist, nearly falling out
of bed. He was trying to get back into
bed when his wife threw the pistol over
toward her head. 1t exploded and she
fell to the floor, shot drought the
head. He testified that his wife was
jolly and jovial, but had a habit of
pointing her pistol, with which she was
an expert at her own head and breast
to brighten him.
Mr.. Vaughn, a neighbor, testified
that he saw Mrs. Hampton shortly af.
ter the shooting and while she was still
conscious. She at first said that she
fired the shot Intentionally, but subse-
quently said it was accidental.
officer Butler. to whom the woman
also made a statement, was not pres
ent, nor was the autopsy physician. II
transpired that the body of the de-
ceased had been sent to Montgomery
Creek, Shasta County, forty miles from
railway communication, and that the
dead womans sister, Bella Holcomb
who was in the next room when the
shot was fired, had accompanied the
remains.
From the testimony given the jury
was unable to reach a conclusion as
to whether the shooting was intentional
or accidental. At Coroner McMullen's
suggestion, further hearing was post
poned until tomorrow evening, at
which time the testimony of Officer
Butler and DIR. Atkinson will be taken
and Miss Holcomb will in the mean
time, if possible. be communicated
with.
