2-Arrangements for the reception of
the American fleet are approaching
completion. Wellington and Auckland

keenest interest is displayed in the ap-
preaching visit. Parliament will ad
journ for ten days to enable the mem
bers to participate in the welcome. The
government will entertain from 10000
to $4,000 men daily, including the
crews of the British feet. American
and British officers to the number of
$50 will be guests at an Official ban

other entertainments. At the Tecep-
tIon to the officers the presentation of
a casket win be made containing ad-
dresses to President Roosevelt and Ad-
miral Sperry.
In Parliament yesterday Senator
Wilfrid deprecated the entertainments
on the ground that the tariff and navi-
CATION laws Of the United States are
hostile TO this country. The Yelling
ton Post today strongly condemns the
Senator S advocacy of what it calls
81 such gross international discour-
tesv,'' and contends that the visit is
welcome because it will promote closer
knowledge and better understanding.

Hawaiian born Chinese need have no
difficulty in the future in going to the
mainland The certificates which will
enable them to enter any port of the
United States and to go and come
anywhere under American jurisdiction
as they may see fit, can be secured
any time after next Thursday.
Inspector Of Immigration Raymond c.
Brown has now completed all arrange
ments for the issuance of these eertifi-
Gates, and arranged his itinerary
throughout the Territory to receive ap-
plications and to issue certificates.
These certificates are certificates of
American citizenship, and will be is
sued to persons of Chinese descent born
or naturalized in Hawaii. Their is
suance was authorized by Secretary OF
Commerce and Labor Straus after his
visit here last September and after a
report favorable to the matter made
by Inspector of immigration Brown.
1t has always been matter of hu-
initiation to American citizens of Chi
nese birth or descent, that in entering
ports of the United States they were
subjected to conditions and require
ments that other American citizens
were not called on to submit to. They
were required to prove their citizen
ship by evidence not required of other
citizens and every presumption of law
was against their claim to citizenship.
COMMISSIONER SARGENT.
Two or three years ago when Com
missioner of Immigration Sargent was
in Honolulu, committee from the
Chinese United Society waited on him
and pointed out the disadvantage
American citizens of Chinese descent
were under in entering or re-entering
or travelling in America, and he was
asked if something could not be done.

SECRETARY STRAUS.

SECRETARY SIRAUS.
Secretary Straus referred the matter
to Inspector of immigration Brown for
a report, which was made. There were
conferences with the Chinese Ameri-
cans themselves, and correspondence
with the department, and finally plan
was worked out for the issuance of
certificates which should be conclusive
as to citizenship anywhere in America.
The Secretary of Commerce and Labor
formulated regulation covering the
matter and giving year from March
l, 1908, in which applications for these
certificates could be made.
HANDSOME CERTIFICATES.
The certificates themselves have been
beautifully engraved at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing in Washington.
They are about the size and shape of
a moderate sized bank check. and are
issued in triplicate. The face of the
certificate bears its number and date,
the name of the person to whom issued,
his age, residence, description, and
identifying marks. Each of the trip
licate series bears photograph of the
person to whom it is issued and the
seal of the department. The three
copies of the certificate are sealed, and
numbered by perforation, by one oper-
alton so that counterfeiting is prac
tieally impossible. On the back of
the certificate in fine engraving is sta
ted the purpose for which the certif-
cate is issued. The certificate is given
to the person for whom it is issued;
the duplicate is filed at the immigrant
station here; and the triplicate goes to
the department at Washington.
The photographs are made at the
