Have a Right to Land.

Honolulu, Sept. "a. via San Fran
cisco, Oct 2.-United States Judge
Estee has rendered an important de
cision regarding the rights OF Chinese
to land at Hawaii. 1t was in the case
OF All Sing, who came here from New
York as one Of the crew of the ship
Challenger. and was refused permission
to land in Honolulu. He was brought
before Judge Estee on three charges
The judge decided that. having shipped
from New York, the Chinaman had 9
right to land in any other American
port. and Honolulu is now an Ameri
can port. The decision is regarded as
highly important as bearing upon the
question or whether the many Chinese
in the Hawaiian islands have a right
TO land OH the mainland. \ clause il
the hawaiian territorial act declares
that the Chinese in Hawaii shall not be
admitted To the coast OF the United
States. This clause is believed by some
TO be unconstitutional and the decision
OF Judge EStee is in line with this opin
ion. There are about 10000 Chinese il
Hawaii.

victory for the Men.

Mr. Mitchell then briefly reviewed
tie struggles of the miners during teh
past forty years, and said that the
miners cannot expect to have all the
evils which have been heaped upon
them during the last half century of
unorganized labor righted at once.
Continuing Mr.. Mitchell said.
II firmly believe that victory will be
achieved by the men standing to-
gether. Do not let one of YOU move
until all move. If you stand together
we will achieve a greater victory than
was ever attained by labor In the an
thracite coal region If nothing else
Is achieved than the taking of the
young boys who to-day yelled as
passed them in the parade that Mitch.
