ton to United States.

The emigration Of japanese to Amer
lea began in 1841 when three Japane1e
fishermen were blown to sea and drift
ed to the Pacific coast, where they re-
sided ten years. One of them, nick
named Sam Patch" accompanied the
Peary expedition.
In 1860 the Shotgun sent an embassy
consisting Of II members to the United
States. The visit to Philadelphia Is
thus described:
ION the 9Th Of June there was an
immense mass Of humanity at the
Broad street depot to catch a glimpse
Of the ambassadors. It was estimated
that with numerous visitors who came
to the city from the country the multi
tude numbered half a million people.
The hospitality of the citizens was
practically unbounded: indeed during
that week there prevailed q Japanese
fever.'''
In 1860 there were probably not a half
dozen japanese residing in tho United
States.
The first students came in 1866 and
went to Rutgers college, which for
many years was their mecca, and this
college has graduated several hundreds
OF Japanese students.
In 1887 there were only 1,275 Japanese
In the United States. The number at
present is about 5000 here and an
equal NUMBER In HAWAII.
1t is said that there are upward of
1000 children in the United States born
of japanese parents dom1ciled here and
In Hawaii, who, having been born in
the United States are subject to the
jurisdiction thereof and are citizens of
the United States and Of the state
wherein they reside.
japanese children born in the Philip
pines and Porto Rico are not American
citizens and enjoy only a qualified citi-
zenship.
japanese domiciled in Hawaii prior
to Aug. IL. 1898, and who had thereto
fore become citizens of Hawaii are cftf-
zens Of the United States by force of
the act OF congress on the above date.
japanese subjects cannot now pur-
chase or acquire land in California. and
the land which they now own cannot be
transmitted to their children. even
though the children are American cftt-
zens. but must be sold at their death
or else it reverts to the state. Pro-
ceeds Of such sale and all personal
property go to their heirs. !
In New York and in many other
states Japanese can hold real estate
and transmit 1t to their heirs.-Japan-
