APPROVE OF CHANGES,

Washington, Jan. 19.-Attorney GEN
cra) Griggs, in an opinion rendered upon
the request Of the secretary of the treas
ury. holds. first, that persons born in the
Hawaiian Islands in 1885 of Chinese
parents who are laborers and taken to
China with the mother in 1890 are en-
titled to re-enter the territory o; Hawaii
where the father still resides second,
that the wife and children of Chinese
person who was naturalized in 1887 in
Hawaii and still reside there, are en-
titled TO enter that territory "by virtue

father. This opinion is based upon the
assumption that the Chinese persons in

fact, citizens of Hawaii under it's laws
AND regulations on August IL, 1898, and
had not abandoned or lost their rights

REIGN OF POLICE TERRORISM.
City in the Hands Of Dangerous and
Corrupt Guardians.

New York, Jan. 9.-Thc World says:
The vigilance committee favored by
Fishop Potter is being formed by IL
Gividual members of the city club.
There will not be $4,000 of Them nor
5,oo0, and only men of tried and proved
trustworthiness and conservatism will
ta in the ranks. The total number may
not exceed 500. The city club as an or
saniZation is not yet the official sponsor
for the committee of vigilantes. but after
the organization has been perfected a
proposition may be submitted to the
members of the club to father the body.
Eishop Potter said, in speaking of the
Vigilance committee last night:
II think that a body of earnest. honest
men would render service of the very
greatest value
Referring to an objection made by
some of the members of the committee
Of fifteen to the employment of young

Of the city are likely to fall into any

cate any promiscuous delving into the
secrets of disorderly houses, or any par
ticipation in gambling. but there are few
men in the city who have not at one
time or another been solicited to vice

the 'roping in of men by two policemen
in plain clothes who get their pay out
of the men they capture. Now how is it
going to hurt young man who sees that

1T seems to me that no reform such

from Vernon, e. c.. says Leo English
20 years old, shot Thomas Carson, his
brother-in-law through the skull, kill

CusED MAKES THEIR DEED
THE MORE HEINoUS.

New York, JAN 19.-The jury in the
trial in trial at Paterson, was
ont for a little over four hours. The
three prisoners showed clearly the
rervous strain under which they had
leen laboring. Word was sent out at
Ills o'clock that the jury was ready TO
hand in it's verdict Judge Dixon ap-
feared a few minutes later and the prls-
oners were led in.
What must have been a half hour OF
terrible suspense for them followed.
Their counsel did not arrive until .
o'clock When lawyers Michael ana
Charles Dunn did appear the jurymen
were led in. The prisoners were silgnt-
ly pale as they stood looking at the
Jurors. Campbell was the most reso-
lutte of the three. Traces of emotion
could be detected in the faces OF the
others. After the jury had been dis
missed one Of them said that the first
ballot showed that five men stood for a
verdict of murder in the first degree six
for the second degree and one man stood
for acquittal. The five who stood for
murder in the first degree soon came
around but the man who stood for ac-
quittal was fixed in his ouinion. The
evidence was then carefully weighed,
which consumed over three hours. and
the one man then agreed with the rest.
After the verdict McAlister said to a
cOnstable:
There were lot Of lies told before
they could give us that
Campbell said: my Cod"
When they entered the Jail they rushed
to Kerr's cell. McAllister exclaimed:

The mother of the murdered girl said,
weeping:
My darling Jennie is avenged at last.
The killing was not SO bad. but -,
but -, Oh - it was awful, it was
awful We hoped they would receive the
same fate as they gave Jennie. but that
could not bring her back
Prosecuting Attorney Emily said:
THE state is content. because the
state and its representatives have done
their full duty. Personally there has
never been vindictiveness in my heart
One of the counsel for the prisoners
said he considered the verdict victory
for the defense.
Michael Dunn, counsel for Death. said
the case would be appealed on error. 1t
may be eighteen months before the case
is finally adjudged.
Kerr will be tried some time during

Electric Fans.

A feature ofinterest connected with
electric fans is that they are purely
American, both by right of invention
and of use. 1t is somewhat singular
fact that their use in other countries
and in hot climates has been SO limit
ed, but it is believed that at least the
beginning of considerable export
trade in this class Of merchandise has
been made, and that from now on
Increasing and satisfactory numbers
of these instruments will be shipped
abroad from our American ports. A
modern development of the fan, which
was primarily designed for ventila-
tion and for moving air or the creation
of small breezes, is the application to
the fan mechanism Of cooling and
heating devices, so that an actual
change in the temperature of the air
may be made. In this way certain
electric fan installations have been
made lately which serve the triple pur-
pose of cooling in summer, heating in
winter and ventilating the rooms

Caste in India,

With the Mahrattahs caste preju-
dices are, as is well known, not so
strong as among some races in India,
but in Baroda all strongly approved
of Maharajah Partab Singh's helping
to carry the coffin of a deceased Eu-
ropean. Where no caste fellows Of
the deceased are available for this
last service, I think all Hindus would
hold a man disgraced if he did not
help. Still it is usual only for per-
sons of the same caste to carry a
corpse. Among the Mahrattahs, gen
orally speaking, water must only be
taken from a member of our own
caste, but with modern ideas these
obligations are getting relaxed. The
drinking water in my palace is drawn
and served by caste man.-The Ma

probability which points to the early
