it can be shown that they are used in
technical sense.
From common, popular stand
point, both in ancient and modern times,
the races of mankind have been dis
tingushed by difference in color, and
they have been classified as the white,
black, yellow and brown races.
RACE CLASSIFICATION.
"And this is true from scientific
point of view. Writers on ethnology
and anthropology base their division of
mankind upon differences in physical
rather than in intellectual and moral
character, so that difference in color.
conformation of the skull structure
and arrangement of the hair, and the
general contour of the face are the
marks which distinguish the various
types. But, of all these marks, the
color of the skin is considered the most
important criterion for the distinction
of race, and it lies at the foundation
of the classification which scientists
have adopted. Blumenbach, in 1871,
divided mankind into five principal
types,-the Caucasian or white, Mon.
golian or yellow, Ethiopian or black,
American or red, and Malay or brown.
Cnvier simplified this classification into
Caucasian, Mongol, and Negro, or white
yellow, and black races. Other writers
make still larger number of distinct
races. 1t is said that Prof Huxley s
division of mankind is the. most salts
factory. He distinguishes four princi.
pal types, and he points out the marked
physical characteristics of each. These
types are the Australoid Chocolate
brown), Negroid '(brown black), Mon
goloid (yellow), and Xanthochroic (fair
whites). To these he adds a fifth va.
riety, the Melanoohroic Ozark whites).
The fair whites are the type of the
prevalent inhabitants of northern Eu.
rope, and the dark whites of southern
Europe. All these physical differences
do not exist in the case of each individ.
ual, and 'innumerable varieties of man
kind run into one another by insensi.
BILE degrees; but taking the race or type
as a whole, their peculiarities are suf.
! ficiently distinct to form the basis of
wellrecognized classification.
"E Whether this question
is viewed in tho light of congressional
intent, or the popular or scientific
meaning of white persons, or the au-
thority of adiudicated cases, the only
conclusion ] am able to reach, after
careful consideration, is that the pres.
ent application must be denied. -
WASHINGTON SUPREME COURT.
In October, 1902, the question came
before the Supreme Court of the State
of Washington on the application of
Takuii Yamashta for admittance to
the bar. The application was denied
on the ground that he was not citizen
of the United States, and ths notwith.
| standing that Yamasbita had been ad-
, mitted to citizenship by the Superior
Court of Pierce County in that State
!, The Supreme Court of Washington held
that the Superior Court had no pawer
to admit him to citizenship, he being a
}, Japanese, and therefore that it had not
| so admitted him. In deciding the case
the court cites the eases which have
!, been given above, and some others in.
ian, who was denied naturalization in
:, Utah in an early dav In conclusion
! the court says: "The general law
, with the single extension made to the
African or negro race has been confined
TO free white aliens. The law seem,
! ITO base the classification upon eti.

THE KATSANUMA CASE.
I Very similar to this case was tha

. who was naturalized August 4, 1896

a Cache County, Utah. But upon his az

I was raised, and the Attorney Genera
