RIGHT TO VOTE DENIED.
Justice Freedman Decides Test
Case Agufnsr Porto Ricans-

Case AgainsI Porto Ricans.
NEW YORK Oct 30.-A Porto Riean is
not a citizen Of the United States, and has
no right to vote at next Tuesdays cleo
ton. according TO the decision rendered
yesterday by Justice Freedman, of the
Supreme Court. ID the test case brought
by Frank Juarbe, who applied for writ OF
perempsory mandamus TO compel the
board of registry of the Twenty-fourth
Election District of the Twentyffth As
sembly District. Manhattan, to place him
on the rolls.
Juarbe had complied with the State law
in relation to voters Corporation Coun-
sci Whaien maintained that Juarbe had
no right to vote, as the question Of the
status of the Porto Ricans had been left
by the treaty with Spain to Congress,
which had not yet decided the subject.
Justice Freedman quotes from the Con-
stitution the provision that it and the
laws of the United States made in pursu-
ance of all treaties shall be the supreme
law of the land and deals with decision
Of the Supreme Court of the United States
defining the rights of persons Individual
~ or collectively to become citizens.
THE United States had therefore. he
continues. 'tthe sovereign and undiSDuted
that all citizens of Porto Rico should at
once become citizens of the United States.
but it was not done"
Article of the treaty is then cited by
Justice Freedman. in which the following
provision is made:
The civil rights and political status OF
the native inhabitants of the territories
hereby ceded to the United States shall be
determined by Congress"
"The whole subject of collective natu-
raIization was thus, by the express terms
of the treaty. refegated TO the Congress
OF the United States" Justice Freedman
continues THE treaty was signed on
December 10. 1898, and Congress has not
acted in the matter under consideration
1.-The right claimed by the relator de-
| ponds upon express proof that the rights
of full citizenship were conferred, ana IL
| cannot be upheld solely upon the broad
claim that in the United States there can
be no subjects. If it were case in winch
| the refator was sought to be deprived OF
life, liberty, or property without due pro-
cess Of law, as required by the fundamen-
! tai law of the United States, different
question would be presented.
| 'Inasmuch, therefore, as the case at par
rests upon a claim of privilege. and the
/ reiator has failed to show that the privi-
4 lege was conferred by the United states,
+ the conclusion is Irresistible that he Is
I not yet a citizen of the United States

WHERE DEW COMES FROM.
Evaporated by Heat 1t Rises to De
sceud Again.
CFron ire Chicago Chronicle


Ground a little below the surface is al
ways warmer than the air over it. So long
as the surface CT the ground is above the
dew point VapoI must rise and pass from
the earth into the air.
Tie moist air so formed will mingle
with the air above it and its moisture will
be condensed forming dew wherever it
comes in contact with a surface cooled
below the dew point. In fact, dew rises
from the ground.
Place some metal trays over the grass,
the soil and the road on dewey nights.
You will generally find more moisture on
the grass inside the trays than outside;
you will always, observe a deposit Of dew
inside the trays even when there is none
outside at all This shows that far mere
vapor rises out of the ground during the
night than condenses as dew on the grass
and other objects
Dew then rises from the ground. But
how is the dew formed on bodies high up
in the air?
Dew does not rise in particles, as it
was once considered. to fall IN particles
like fine rain. 1t rises in vapor. Some is
caught by what is on the surfie of the
earth, but the rest ascends in vapor form
until it comes in contact with a much
colder surface. to condense 1t into mois-
ture.
The vapor dees not flow upward in a
Uniform stream, but is mixed in the air
by eddies and wind currents and carried
to bodies far from where it rose In fact
dew may be deposited, even though III
country for many miles all around be dry
and Incapable OF yielding any vapor In
such cases the supply of vapor to form
that dew would depend on the eyaDcra-
ton of the dew and on what was waited
over by the winds

story relative TO what he alleges was the
utter incompetency of the American staff
on that campaign He charges the Quar-

with neglecting the men, and the fighting
staff with ignorance and indifference, which,
he says, cost many deaths and other casual

Minister Conger with heartIess conduct in
relation to our wounded. and asserts that

the narrator is well known and considered
reliable and his paper will certainly back
him in what he says. We are sorry to not
