Is to be Raised by Attorneys in
Chinese Cases.
Will Claim That Under Our Treaty
With China Chinese May Be-
come Naturalized.
MUCH INTEREST TAKEN IN 1T

Attorneys E. ". Bagby and Arthur
Martin, who have taken the case Of
Lin Sing and the other three laundry
Cinnamon who have been bonded to
appear before United States Commits
sioner Gardner in July and show
why they could not produce certih-
Gates OF admission to this country,
will raise an important question in
law which will probably set prece-
dent and may have an important bear
ing on the future attitude OF the Unit
ed States towards the Chinese.
Attorney Bagby stated this morning
that Lin Sing. who is As years Of age,
came to this country twenty five years
ago and prior to the act which ex'
Guided them from this country. There
was then an act of congress which pre-
vented Cinnamon becoming citizens
OF the United States by the process OF
naturalization, but this has since been
repealed and only the Chinese treaty
now stands, and It provides that every
subject of China shall be given the
same privileges as other foreigners,
which means, the attorneys claim,
that a Chinaman can become a full
fedged citizen, the same as an Eng
lishman or Frenohmsn, having been
extended the same privilege by ths
treaty. He will fight hard to re+air
Lin Sing, who has naturalization pa
pers.
II this point is carried to the higher
court, and IN all probability it viii
be, and Is decided in favoy Of the de
PENDANT, Cinnamon may become citi
zens and will be permitted to CONT
over here under conditions the same
as other foreigners, under the existing
treaty.

capes.
ARRESTED AND RELEASED

Some miscresnt this morning about
io'clock attempted to demolish the
plate glass window at Mr.. Joe VOLTS
jewelry store, on Broadway between
Third and Fourth streets, but was I'M
successful, and made his escape.
Mr.. Wolff about the time mentioned
heard q loud crash, as OF breaking
glass, and rushed down stairs to find
out what caused it. He saw from the
inside long scratch on the front win
dow, and at once OWNED that some
one attempted to break the window
and steal the contents.
Unlocking the front door and going
outside, he found a brick, evidently
pi,ked up at the fraternity building
near Fifth and Broadway, as it was Of
the kind used there, which had been
used by the person who wanted to de-
molish the glass.
It struck the glass with terrific force
but glanced of. leaving q long scratch
that is plainly visible. Mr.. Wolff saw
a white man, well dressed, with der
by hat on, walking away, but does not
know whether or not he was the man
who threw the brick.
Lieutenant of Police Frank Harlan
came along about this time and Mr.,
Wolff notified him Of the occurrence
and informed him that he believed
the white man he saw leaving
was the one who threw the brick.

jackson, KY, May 2s-rhe special
jury has now begun the examination
of the ASSASSINATION Of City Marshal
James Cockrill here last July. As in
the Marcum case, the assassin was
stationed in the court house, shooting |
Cockril with Winchester rifle from
the court room window as he stood in
the street. It WAS Immediately after
this that men in sympathy with the
Cockrill brothers had to fee the coun-
ty for safety. Among them was Capt.
John Patrick, who in a letter to Judge
Redwine soon afterward said that he
and others saw the assassin and said
he would come back and testify II
troops were sent TO protect them. The
knowledge he possessed put price on
his life. Judge Redwine declined to
ask fer troops and had an attachment
issued for Patrick. who, to escape 60
ing back 10 what he considered certain
death, has since had to live in seclu-
sion. II is said that he will appear
tomorrow to testify and, with others,
will name the assassins.
The assassination of DR.. Cox, the
Cockrill boys uncle, will be taken up
next.
II seems certain now that, to avoid
a mistrial. the trial of Cortis Jett and
Tom White, accused of the assassina-
ton of ]. B. Marcum, will not be en-
tered into until the regular term be-
gins. The special term ends satur-
day.
Separate trials will be asked for the
men. In the court room their cases
were called and BY agreement contin-
ued until tomorrow. Jett and White
were guarded by twenty soldiers
The prisoners were not ironed.
Judge Redwine issued an order for
everyone who enters the court room to
be searched for weapons. He also gave
Col. williams authority to make ar
rests In town for disorderly conduct or
any misdemeanor, which makes mar
A tial law in Jackson practically abso-
Lutte.
A detail Of soldiers will be sent into
, the interior of Breathitt county to
bring in as witnesses Capt. Ned Strong
and Henry Back. Strong was quoted
as saying to q number of people,
among them Mrs. Marcum's father,
that he overheard a discussion of the
plot to kill Marcum in a blind tiger
three miles from jackson the day be-
fore the murder. Being unable to &c
himself to warn Marcum, he sent Back
with a message, Back arriving Just In
time to see Marcum shot down. Upon
the publication of these statements
Strong and Back made affidavits before
Judge Hargis that they had made nc
such statements. Friends of Marcum
who contradict the sifidavits say thai
both were intimidated into making
the afiidavits through fear Of assassin
alton.
1t is believed that when once start
ed testimony which will cover the
ring in which the numerous assassina
tions have emansted will be freely
given and ample. The possibility O.
this and desperate measures tina
might be undertaken still more make
the guardians Of the peace and SOM
citizens uneasy and apprehensive.
III 1t was determined yesterday to sus
| pend further investigation into tn
Marcum murder until the witnesse

Where the symptoms of heart disease and weakness are present together with those of nervous trouble, much benefit may be de- rived from the use of both Nervine and Heart Cure. The Nervine quiets the weary brain and brings sweet sleep, it brings the needed nourishment to the nervous system, restores nerve-force, vitality and energy. The action of the Heart Cure is equally beneficial. It aids the good work of Neryine By enriching the blood, improving the circulation and by its tonic action steadying and restoring the heart heats or pulse to their normal activity.

THE PRESIDENTS TITLE
BY PHlNEAS FLETCHER.

February, 179i, that is five years after the first meeting of congress.
 Because of this secrecy on the part of the senate no record of the debates on the presidential title question has come down to us, but the high-sounding form evolved was: His Highness, the President of the United States of America and Protector of their Liberties Thomas Jefferson who was then in Paris, wrote to Madi- son, when he heard about it, "the Pres ident's title as proposed by the senate. was the most superlatively ridiculous thing I ever heard of" But the senate did not think so, and that body long ana stoutly stood out for its opinion on the subject The house, on the other hand, firmly adhered to the words of the con- stitution, and could not be moved from it's position. A conference committee re- suited but it failed to adjust the dispu- tation. The question was dropped for little while, when the senate, feeling that something must be done, asked for an- other conference. By this time the house was mot in very amiable mood, and an acrimonious debate insued. One of those who took part In it was Thomas Tudor Tucker What, sir" said he. lis the intention of this business? Will 1t not alarm our fellow citizens? Will it not give the just cause for alarm? Will they 1lbt Sdy lndl they nave been dece1Ne0 by the convention that framed the constitu- tion?" The request for the second con- ference was on the point of being denied when James Madison began, in his quiet way. to smooth matters out He did not think the republic was in danger as de- clared by some of his colleagues and be- lieved that "a President of the United States, clothed with all the powers given in the constitution, would not be a dan gerous person to the liberties of America If you were to load him with all the titles of Europe or Asia"
 The Father of the Constitution then suggested that. in the interest or har- mony and as a matter of respect to the senate. the house should again confer with the representatives of that body This conciiiatory course was adopted but tbe conferees on both sides were immovabIe In the positions their respective. bodies had taken. Neither would recede Re- ports 10 the senate and house followed put this practically ended the matter g'be senate had to surrender. This it did in A long resolution, maintaining that while if was right in it's contention for the file of His Highness.H it yielded for inc sake of harmony in the legislative family. and would Tn future follow the practice of inc representatives, by addressing all it's com municauons to the President of the United states. without addition of titles' oI
