Governor Taft recalled his former
visit to Honolulu, and remarked that
he had been very favorably impressed,
and much entertained. "They almost

his success being generally admitted
Throughout the states. Taft now takes
the high position of Secretary of War,
and he is not a little talked of as a
presidential possibility of the future.
Many leading Republicans have been
looking to him as a candidate, and 1t
would not surprise leaders Of the party

his duties in the Philippines, to which
he was appointed by the late President
Mckinley, Governor Taft was a United

feet though there was no fire in the
stove. She went outside and the
smoke and flame was beginning to pour
out from under the kitchen, where the
fire originated, and where it is stated
on the authority of two or three per-
sons that there were a number Of
kerosene boxes evidently recently
placed unknown to the family. Mrs.
Robertson says that at this time she
saw the japanese cook putting on his
coat near his own quarters. This was
about $50 O'clock. There seems to
have been some delay in turning in the
alarm. The nearest fire alarm box is
in Punahou street, and the alarm was
finally sent in by telephone at 5:45, the

out by Chief Thurston from the head
quarters station. The nearest hydrant
is on Punahou street two long blocks
away, necessitating a long lead Of
hose, and besides the pressure in the

of the flames to any of the buildings in
close proximity except that a part of
the cottage on the same grounds occu-
pied by Mr.. and Mrs. North was slight
ily damaged. The contents of this cot
tage were all removed, but were great
ly damaged by the rain.
The kitchen was on the windward
side of the house so that the flames
quickly spread, and the whole house
was more quickly filled with smoke
making the efforts to save the contents
practically futile.
Only few things were saved. Most
! of the magnificent array of wedding
presents belonging to Mr.. and Mrs.
Dougherty were destroyed. A new
piano which went into the house only a
few days ago was burned up. A very
few of the fine collection of calabashes
were saved
The house was built only two or three
years ago. 1t was two stories in
height and finely finished.
Mona the discharged yardboy was
seen in the neighborhood of the fire,
and it is supposed that he was around
the premises arranging everything for
the fire that finally started, and that
it was his movements that created the
disturbances heard and felt by the
members of the family.

done with the pupil whose work is I'M
satisfactory? after which there will
be a general discussion of the matter.

is a vital question in school manage

terested are invited to attend and take
part in the discussion. 1t is hoped that
there will be avery large attendance of

DOORS OPEN
TO PORTO RICANS
COURT HOLDS THAT
THEY ARE NOT ALIENS IN THE
MEANING OF THE STATUTES.

WASHINGTON, January Am an
opinion by Chief Justice Fuller the
Supreme Court of the United States
decided that citizens Of Porto Rico are
not aliens of the United States and
that they are entitled to enter this
country without obstruction The
opinion was delivered in the case of
a Porto Rican woman, Gonzales, who
in 1902 was refused admission to the
port of New York on the ground that
she was likely to become a public
charge. The decision was based en-
tirely on the immigration act Of 1891,
and took the ground that the Porto
Ricans owe allegiance to the United
States and to no other Government
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-01-16

ferreding TO the act of 19O0,NCtejqjpg q

that the woman was a citizen Of Porto
P'oo under that act, and added that
there was nothing expressed in the
act, nor reasonably to be implied
therefrom, to indicate the intention OF
Congress that citizens OF Porto Rico
should be considered as aliens aud the
right Of free access denied to them.7
The court did not agree with tho
counsel for the Government that the
test was Of Gonzales rights to citizens
ship, 1t says the question was rather
that Of ghenaEe, and added: I'VE arc
nos required to discuss the power OF
Congress in the premises, nor the con-
tention of Gonzales counsel that the
cession Of Porto Rico accomplished the
naturalization of the people, nor that
of Commissioner Degetau that a citl-
zen OF Porto Rico is necessarily a
citizen Of the United States. The ques-
lion IS the harrow one whether Con-
zales was alien within the meaning
of that term, as used in the act OF
1891. We think it clear that the act

to foreign governments and citizens or
subjects thereof, and citizens Of Porto
Rico, who owe permanent allegiance
to the United States are not aliens,
AMI upon their arrival by water at the
| ports of our mainland are not alien
| immigrants within the intent and
meaning Of the act Of 1891"
The opinion closes by directing the
discharge of the woman. Commits
sioner Degetau was much pleased with
the decision, and said he considered it
stepping stone to more pro-
nounced recognition Of the rights OF
Porto Ricans in the United States.

They were sent over by the govern
payment of the Boxer indemnity by
China. When the indemnity was de-
manded by the Powers they insisted
that China be required to pay the in
demnity in gold coin. The Chinese di-
plomats insisted that such a condition
would practically paralyze the finances
of the nation. The agents of the United
