eral Corbin received a cable message
from General Macarthur at Manila to-

military academy in June 1886. He was
assigned to the Third cavalry and
served with that regiment in the cam

COMES BACK TO HOUSE.
Effort to Send Army Bill to Confer
ence Fails Temporarily.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The house re-
sumed consideration of the postal codifi-
cation bill today Before the regular
order was demanded, Mr.. Foss (Ill-),
chairman of the naval committee, re-
ported the naval appropriation bill
which was placed on the calendar The
pending amendment to the codihcation
bill relating to the classes and pay OF
letter carriers was withdrawn by MI
w. A. Smith (Mich.), who did So ne
said, in the interests of the carriers,
hoping it would take form in a separate
measure
An amendment was agreed to, strilx-
ing out the provision for paying letter
carriers extra for working more than AZ
hours during the week. Mr.. Lentz lO-)
proposed an amendment prohibiting
private concerns from undertaking the
delivery of special delivery letters and
providing that the delivery be made
only by those in the postal service. He
said a system of farming out special de-
livery letters had grown up. When ask
ed by Chairman Loud where this sys-
tenn existed Mr. Lentz mentioned Co
luTnbus.
Mr. Loud expressed his surprise and
said the condition at Columbus, if it ex-
listed, was exceptional.
The bill was laid aside long enough to
receive from the senate the army re-
organization bill and Mr.. Hull, chair
man of the military committee, made
an effort to send the bill to conference
But on objection BY Mr. Richardson

deferred

GRIGGS' OPINION
Relating to the Rights Of Chinese to
Citizenship in Hawaii

washington, Jan 19.-Attorney Cen
eraI Griggs in an opinion, rendered upon
the request of the secretary of the
trea sury holds. first that a. person born
in the Hawaiian islands in 1885 of Chi
nese parents. who are labOrers and ta-
ken to China with his mother in 1890, =
entitled to re-enter the territory OF Ha-
vail where his father still resides.
Second. that the wife and children Of
q Chinese person who was naturalized
in 1887 in Hawaii and still resides there
are entitled to enter that territory by
virtue Of the citizenship of the husband
and father This opinion is based upon
the assumption that the Chinese per
sons in question, born and naturalizei
respectively in the Hawaiian ISLANDS
were in fact of the citizens of the re-
public of Hawaii under its constitution
and laws on August II, 1898, and had not
abandoned or lost their rights as such.
