Why Our Chinese
Can Enter States

The following ruling was received
by Collector Stratton OF san Francisco
regarding the rights of Hawaiian Chi
nese to land in the States:
The bureau acknowledges the re-
cent of your letter Of 18th inst. pro
pounding q question of law In conncc-
ton with your action in refusing per-
mission to land at your port TO two
Chinese sailors who asserted that
they were native born Hawaiian citi-
zens. In the particular case referred
to you state that their application
was refused upon the ground that
they did not present sufficient proof
OF the facts alleged by them In sup
port OF their claim, but that had ~rch
facts been clearly shown, while not
Gear upon the point, you are rather
inclined to the belief that such per.
sons, whether laborers or not. cannot
be admitted into the United States
under the provisions of section 4 of
the act of Congress, approved April
30, 1900, which prescribes form OF
government for the Territory Of Ha-

The Commissioners granted a hearing
today to the South Capitol Street Bridge
Association upon House Bill II, ,995, which
provides for the building CT a bridge
across the Eastern Branch of the Poto-
mac River on the line OF First Street
southwest.
Hon Hillary A Herbert vas the first
speaker. He informed the Commission
ers that the delegation had come 20 ask
that favorable report be made upon the
bill The Commissioners, he said, were
the proper. persons 70 approach in the
matter. as they are the governors OF the
people of the city
In 1895, Mr. Herbert said, Congress rec
ognized the Importance of the enterprise
by ordering surveys to be made. The
bridge, ne contended, would render more
accessible the Government property On
the other side OF the Anaco5tia River.
1t would reclaim, he said, about 100 acres
OF swamp land This alone he thought,
would pay for the cost Of the bridge He
showed that the building of the pro-
posed bridge would change bad hygienic
conditions. Mr.. Herbert then entered
into q detailed statement, showing how
the Anacostia flats are menace TO the
city, calling attention TO reports by the
Board Of Trade and by the Health De-
partmeEt-
Mr.. Herbert spoke Of the value of the
bridge TO the city as an outlet to the
southWaTd-to one of the best section of
the District He declared it would also
benefit the farmers and truck gardeners
It would open new territory for building
and permit the city to grow symmetrical
Iy. Mr- Herbert spoke Of the bad effect
of the maIarial conditions upon the Navy
Yard, which, he thought, the building Of
the bridge would remedy. He closed his
speech by asking the Commissioners TO
send TO Congress a strong report in its
favor.
Daniel O'CaIlaghan spoke briefly of the
increase of revenue TO the District by
the Improvement of land on both sides o.
the river. He also called attention TO the
need of the city for public dumps and the
building Of this bridge would provide
them.
Raymond A. HeIskell spoke for the peo-
pie on the Anacostia side OF the river.
He claimed that the outlet for them was
Of more Importance than for Washington.
He spoke OF the circuitoug route now nee
essary. He showed that a large popu-
lation south OF Anacogtia in the District
and in the contiguous territory of Mary
land need this bridge for direct commu-
nication with the city Of Washington It
would be, he said like the discovery of
new territory. which would for all time
to come benefit the city.
Commissioner Beach interrupted the
hearing at this point 20 say that the Board
was always ready to aid the city but he
said It was necessary to get down 10 prac-
tical facts. He informed the gentlemen
present that the Commissioners would
like to know who owns the land OF the aD-
proach TO this bridge. and how It is to be
acquired. The Engineer Commissioner
called attention to the great advance in
bridge building and he suggested that new
plans and an aroned form Of bridge might
be built which would be better thar the
truss bridge contemplated In the report
OF 1895.
Peter H Heiskc. stated that the proper
! ty owners would donate tFe right-of-way.

THE SPARTAN SPIRIT.
Although His Arms Were Gone. the
Old Soldier Did Not Find Cause
to Complain.

81 wonder" said the Judge, in the
Chicago Inter Ocean, "if many of the
old soldiers of the union army have in.
tervals of sore depression, such as
come over me at times. A feeling
comes upon me, sometimes in court,
that after the intense experiences OF
war time the commonplaces of my own
life are scarcely bearable. / think of
the sacrifices made, the lives lost, and
the burdens assumed, and cloud
comes over my mind. Iwant to get

this troubled me greatly until three
years ago.
One night, acting on the impulse to
wander, yielding to the feeling of de-

pointment, 1 was walking at night,

that he had married in the first year of

He came close to me, and said: why,

'Isn't it marvelous!" said the young man
as they stood looking at the armless wonder.
"He can feed himself without hands; he

OUR COUNTRY'S STRENGTH.
IL Rests in the Rural Districts, I'm.
contaminated by Selfshness
and Corruption.

To speak of the ignorance of the
country people is to stamp ones self
as an ignoramus-not the country
people.
There is an intelligence and sound
ness in the back country of this land
of ours, that those who live in cities
and think themselves wise little sus-
pect. Instead Of deprecating country
life, and saying that ito live in the
country means to live out of the
world" wise people know that the
free, untrammeled life of the country
unquestionab!y gives broader views.
We can talk all we like of ''social
revolutions" and kindred evils that are
supposed by some to threaten the
country; but when they do threaten,
the danger signal will come from the
back country. :
In the clear air of the farm the view
is broader, the heart sounder; and
when anything does menace the land,
the true voice which will stampit out
will be apt to come from the country,
The backbone of the land rests in
the country, on the farm.-Farm Jour.
nal.

The spy was never capadred. After
the war was over he came back TO
camp stricken, as many of them did.
One evening / went to his old home
just out of town. The federal officer,
now an eX., was also there. The old
classmates had lived through the
storm of battle and met again. I was
the witness to the marriage of the
"spy's" sister to the federal officer who
had held the "spy" prisoner. Every
one of the three is dead. Perhaps
you have your own opinion as to how
the escape of the spy" was effected.
1 never had any doubt of it. Perhaps
because / knew that before the war
the girl was the sweetheart of the man
whom she married after the war.
