New ZeaInnd's OMnership.

Queer points are raised from time to
time in courts of law. For instance,
one Just seriously reserved for consid-
Grafton by an Australian judge of the
supreme court-namely. whether New
Zealand Is legally a British possession.
1t sounds like joke at the expense of
that most ardent and energetic of i'm
perialists, King Dick Seldom. At the
same time it is possible there may be
something in the point. Although Cap
tain Cook repeatedly urged upon the
imperial government the colonization
Of New Zealand, no practical step was
taken until very late in the thirties,
when 1t leaked out that the French
were contemplating the annexation of
the islands. 1t was q close race be-
tween a British and French man-of-
war, the British ship winning by few
hours. 1t is conceivable in the excite
ment of the moment some formality in
the proclamation of British sovereignty
over New Zealand may have been over
looked In 1885 Frenchman who
called himself Baron de Thierry pro-
claimed himself sovereign chief of
New Zealand but his funds failed,
his ninety-three followers deserted, and

Hats Are Black.

The new hats are black. lie chapeau
noir is the safe one to invest in be-
tween seasons. As a rule, one chooses
a conservative shape, which must of
course be becoming. The clever de-
signer literally docs the rest. At this
season, with summer millinery decid-
edly in the scar and yellow leaf, the
fresh piece of headgcar becomes ne
cessity. Since one has not as yet de-
cided upon ones winter attire, the hat
cannot be made to harmonic with 1t.
SO about the only remaining course is
to purchase the black hat which al
ways finds place in ones wardrobe.
These new hats are delightfully."- mod
ish and well made, says the Philadel-
phia Record.
The hats are by no means confined to
small shapes only suited to ordinary
wear. Rather are they of every posi-
Bile shape and style and of such de-
grees of dressness that something is to
be found suitable to all sorts of occa-
sions. Some of them, to be sure, are
half mourning.

DETERMINATION OF CITIZENSHIP
Compilation Of Departmental and Ju-
dicial Proceedings.

So many, perplexing and important have
become N recent years the cases arising
in the State Department involving the de-
termination of citizenship that Assistant
Solicitor Frederick Van Dyne has compiled
in 400-page volume all the decisions OF
the state and national courts Of the de-
partment itself bearing on that matter.
The volume is to be placed in the hands
Of United States consuls abroad, immigrant
inspectors and other United States off,
Gals who are called upon from time to
time to pass upon questions of citizenship.
The preface recites the fact that this SUBJ
ject. always important, has increased In
Importance in the United States with the
development of this nation as world
power. The wonderful extension Of our
commerce which has marked the past
decade and the recent additions to our
territory have made inevitable q broader
compact with the nations of the world and
have complicated the relations with the
governments and citizens Of other coun-
tries. Hence the book is published.

FIGHTING IN SAN DOMINGO.
Minister PowelPs House Was Riddled
by Fire From Both Sides.


The Secretary of State has received
mail report from Minister Powell at San
Domingo in regard to the recent revolution.
which resulted in the overthrow of Presi-
dent Wos Gil and the temporary tri-
umph of Gen. Jiminez. In his report Mr..
Powell says:
What may surprise the department is
that this may be called q bloodless revolu-
ton. Though over 80 900 rounds Of ammu-
milton have been used on both Sides and
there has been constant firing by both sides
night and day Qn the attack on Santo Do
mingo city,, the total loss on both sides
numbers twenty-five, and these principally
from stray bullets and accidents. The in
surgent loss numbered two men. Nor was
this loss greater In other sections. AT
Monte Christi, none; at Puerto Plata, none:
at Santiago, about seventy (this includes
the loss on both sides); at Mocha, none; at
La Vega, none; at MacOris, none. The
only places have not heard from are Azua
and Barahona."
Mr.. Powell gives some interesting infor-
nation about the danger and excitement
which fell to the lot of American diplomatic
representatives in the Dominican republic.
THE house in which formerly resided,
about one mile from the city, he says,
suffered more than any Of the surround
ing buildings. 1t is almost a wreck and
looks as If both sides had used it as a tar
get. There is not room that is habitable;
several shells have burst inside and rifle
balls that have perforated it make some
parts Of 1t look like sieve. Many of my
things that l left, as 1 did not care to re-
move all to my present quarters, ruin
ed, and If we had remained this Office
would have been in need of another repre-
those with him would have passed to an
other existence"

mercial Agent r. T. Greener at Vladivos-
took. Siberia, at nearly all the larger rail-
road stations In Manchuria Russian settle
ments have made their appearance. Be-
sides railroad offices and houses for en-
ployes. there are also many private build
ings. There is one impeachment for the ex-
pansion of these settlements, and that is
that no regular sales are yet arranged for
1t is said that there will be a regular auc-
ton sale of lots organized next year. In
the meantime private persons are allowed
to occupy lots temporarily. Regarding the
affairs of Siberia Commercial Agent
Greener says that surveying party is now
engaged in defining the route Of the second
Siberian railroad. The party will project
the line in such manner that instead of
four daily trains of twenty cars each, nine
trains of thirtysiX cars each will run every
twenty-four hours. The sum of IS, $50, 600
has been appropriated for this improve
ment. He also states that the preliminary
work for the railroad line from Kiakhta to
Picking via Urga has been accomplished and
adopted.

THE CHEYENNE POST OFFICE,
Senator Warren's Connection Saved the
Government Money.

A long conference on Saturday between
Senator Warren Of Wyoming and Postmas-
ter General Payne, regarding the formers
interest in a building leased by the govern
ment for the post office at Cheyenne re-
suited In the Postmaster General ANNOUNCE
ing that the case was closed. He said that
before the expiration Of previous lease on
March !, 1899. the lessons wanted the rent
raised from 81, 400 to $1,000, which Post
master General Charles Emory Smith DEEM
ed exorbitant and he caused an investiga-
ton to be made.
According to the records, an agent for
Senator Warren, in the senator's absence,
then executed lease for building afford
ing much better quarters for 81 200 per year
for ten years, beginning April 1, $780, Mr..
Payne said that this would have saved the
government In ten years $1,000. The post
Office probably will remain in it's present
quarters until the completion Of a govern
ment building at Cheyenne. which is ex-
pected to be ready for occupancy probably
by July next.
