JUDGE ESTEE SPEAKS
OF AMERICAN
CITIZENSHIP
AN INTERESTINGLY DELIVERED
ADDRESS FROM THE BENCH N
CONNECTION WITH THE NATU-
REALIZATION OF ALIENS.

There was an unusually large number
of people in attendance on the United
states District Court this morning,
when a number of aliens foreswore al
legiance to their former sovereignties
and were made American citizens.
Those present heard very interesting
disquisition on the subject of American
citizenship and it's duties
Have you read the constitution of
the United States?" asked Judge Estee
this morning of a candidate for natu-
ralizatiou.
For you know" he continued. that
that is what tells us what our rights
are. 1t guarantees to every American
citizen life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. 1t guarantees us the writ
of habeas corpus by which these rights
are protected. You ought to read it
again and again until you know it by
heart.
You know that it is said by you and
for you that you will support the con-
sttution of the United States and that
you are well disposed toward the peace
and good order of the United States.
Now you can't very intelligently sup
port the constitution if you don't know
what it is, if you haven't read it and
don't know what it contains.
Now the courts have no politics, but
ship they have to pass on the state
ment that you are well disposed to-
ward the peace and good order of the
country. That includes not only your
personal actions but political actions
how you act with others of your fell
low citizens in selecting men to adj
minister the laws. If you are well dis
posed to the peace and good order, you
will vote for those whom you consider
are the best men to administer the
laws, won't you? Well. that's as far
as the court can go in that direction,
and it is far enough if all citizens
do really and honestly seek to vote
for the best men.
Accepting citizenship of the United
States is a serious and responsible
matter. important and serious promis-
es are made. The court cannot lightly
nor perfunctorily perform its part in
the matter
when you shall have taken the oath
renouncing your allegiance to your
former sovereign, you become an Am
erican sovereign, an American citi-
zen vested with sovereign attributes
and of course invested with correspond
ing responsibilities and duties.

PROTEsT AGAINST PLANKs.

EDITOR STAR: From the report of
last nights Democratic meeting as pub
lshed in the Advertiser, the impression
is created that the platform adopt2d
was the same as reported by the COM
mittee on platform, of which l was 4
member, and that 1t was represented
that though l had not signed the report
/ was in favor of it. In justice to myself
allow me to say, that the plank in the
platform favoring IAN appropriation by
the Congress of the United States to
compensate the eX-Queen in an equit-
able sum for the deprivation suffered
by her, of the crown lands was not in
the committees report. | was not at
last nights meeting, but l am informed
by the chairman and secretary of the
meeting that IL was presented to the
meeting by f. j. Tesla at the request Of
Mr.. Watson, a partner of ex-Judge
Humphreys.
The plank in regard to the so-called
Executive Council was not in the ORR
ginal draft of the report as adopted by
the committee, but was put into the
report at a meeting called, as ! sup
posed, merely to enroll the report as it
had already been drafted, at which
meeting l was not present,

.SHIPYARDS IN
HONGKONG IDLE
CHINESE CARPENTERS STRIKE
FOR INCREASED WAGES AND
QUIT WORK-2OOO WALK OUT.

TACOMA, CWash), September "a
Three thousand Chinese carpenters en-
polyed in the great dockyards at Hong
kind struck Just before the steamship
Tacoma left that port four weeks ago.
Many vessels are being built and re-
paired in the docks and the work on all
of them has been stopped until the
labor difficulties can be adjusted.
The strike started at the docks of the
Whampoa Dock Company, which are
the largest in the Orient. A few days
previous placards had been posted an
nouncing that the thousand carpenters
engaged there would stop work unless
an Increase in pay was granted. No
committee was appointed to interview
the managers of the docks and conse-
quently no attention was paid to this
notice. On the appointed day the men
quit work, being followed the next day
by 20O0 carpenters employed by other
dock and ship building firms, both Chi
nese and European.
The men want 65 cents a day. They
are now receiving so cents from Euro
pean firms and 40 cents from Chinese
firms. The Chinese employers offered
an increase, based on a sliding scale,
according to merit. The Carpenters
Guild controls the situation and is
holding out for the increase from every
employer in Hong Kong.

DAVIS AMENDS
HIS STATEMENT
@. =. COLBURN AND NOT JOHN IT,
COLBURN THE MAN WHO TOOK
SUMMERS NOTE-A MISTAKE.

Before Judge DE Bolt this morning
on the hearing OF the John *. Sumner
case, George A. Davis, attorney for the
petitioner, announced to the cour, that
he wished to correct one statement he
had made yesterday in his opening pre-
sentation of wha, he expected to prove
IN support of the petition. He said
that in speaking of what it was ev-
pected to prove concerning a loan of
$500 made to John X. sumner, the fact
was that he expected to prove that
Sumner had borrowed $500 from G.. p.
Colburn, whereas he had inadvertently
said John +. Colburn. He wished TO
make this correction, IL indeed he had
said John F. Colburn, because he vas
anxious that his opening statement
should be absolutely correct, ana the
vital and material point so far as this
incident was concerned was that Sum
ner with $1,000 subject to his order, had
yet borrowed $500 at large interest, Civ
ing his note Tor $3.50.
Speaking of the matter before maxi
ing this statement in court. Mr.. Davis
bad said:
1T was an inadvertance," said At
torney George A. Davis this morning,
"the statement that it was John f. Col
burn who loaned $500 to John Il Sum-
ner at a time when the latter had
| $500 subject to his order in Bruce
Cartwright's hands. 1 find by an ex-
! animation of the record of the pro-
ceedings of four years ago that it was
c. p. Colburn, who is described by the
witness testifying in regard to the
| transaction, as a cousin or some rela-
ton of John +. Colburn.
I'm making the opening statement in
this case to the court yesterday
sought to make it exact in every par
( ticular, end for that purpose, as to the
facts which were testified to OF made a
part of the findings in the litigation ,Of
four years ago / had the record of that
| litigation before me. In the course of
the testimony concerning this transac-
ton, the name is repeated usually, sim
ply as Colburn, so that l had it in my
mind that it was concerning a man
named Colburn, and If l said John F.
| Colburn it was an inadvertance, the
! transaction itself, and not the man
I with whom it was had, being the mate
rial thing in both the case and the
| presentation of it,"

GET FAT ON MoLAssEs.

NEW YORK, September 22.-Instead
of oats, 100 horses owned by Arbuckle
Brothers of Brooklyn, coffee and sugar
retiners, are fed with mOlasses. The
animals are sleek and fat, and seem to
thrive on the diet. A veterinarian first
suggested the use of mOlasses, and af-
ter six weeks experiment ON two of the
horses it was decided to use it as good
for all. The veterinary surgeon said he
first got the idea from an expert in the
United States artillery service, who told
him that from ten to fifteen pounds Of
dark mixture was sufficient daily ra-
ton for horse weighing 1000 pounds.
The cost of feeding each animal on mo-
lasses according to the doctor is 10 cents
daily.

HAwAIIANs EMPLOYED.
Hackfeld & co. Are Not Employing
japanese Stevedores.

HdckteId d co. Are Not Employing
japanese Stevedores.
The statement that japanese are be-
ing employed on the work of discharg-
ing and loading vessels for which
HaclSfeld & Company are the agents,
to the detriment of Hawaiian labor, Is
strongly deprecated by that firm.
f. w. Klebahn said this morning: 1T
has always been and is now the policy
of Hackfeld 81 Company to employ Ha-
waiian and occasional Portuguese la
Dor on the work of discharging and I'M
loading cargoes for our vessels. We
started the business with that point in
view and we have kept to our deter
min2tion The statement was made by
a man who did not stop to investigate
the story.
'McCabe, Hamilton & Kenny, the
stevedores secured recently, when a
partner of the firm was on the coast,
a contract which lasts for six months,
whereby they would get the coaling of
the three vessels of the Pacific Mail
Steamship line. They employ Japanese
in their work. This is all there is to
the matter Japanese are not employ
ed in connection with any other of tn ,
vessels and they are not employed in
the discharging or loading of the YES
sells cargo, nor will they be unless no
other labor is procurable. With Trivia
& Company, this firm employs Hawaii
ans by preference, and any statement
to the contrary is false and ill-advis-
ed"

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.
That is What Helped Justice Pickett
to Reach a Decision.

Mr.. Watson, distinguished men,
Der OF congress from Indiana, is an
entertaining c0nyersationalist. He
likewise tells good story, generally
with some flavor CT Hoosierdom.
Not very many years ago, when he
was young lawyer in Winchester,
Mr.. Watson was one OF the attorneys
in suit ove- pig. Judge Goodrich,
subsequently chairman of the Repub-
lican State committee, was on the
other side, and the case was before a
portly magistrate of the name OF Rev.
erdy Pickett, who was running as
candidate for mayor of Winchester
"Puckett, said Mr. Watson to him
one afternoon, before the case came
up for trial, II must win this suit.
If | don't, I'll fightyou for mayor; I'll
fight you to finish"
Goodrich also got the magistrate's
ear with similar appeal and threat,
he and Watson having arranged the
matter between them to get some fun
out of the situation.
"The day before the primary, " says
Mr.. Watson, in concluding the story,
Goodrich and / thought we would go
around to Puckett's Office and ascer-
tain how we stood. He was absent
when we called, but his docket lay
wide open On the desk. We couldn't
help looking at 1t. There in the
boldest characters he could write
were the words:
Disagreed, by thunder. T"
"There was no jury in the case,
but that little matter hadn't bother

the other by Morgantown creditors
These were placed in Sheriff Frock $
