A diplomatic incident of special local inter- est occurred nearly = year ago, but bas just | 9. Refuses to Ex been made public through the pubiication of the diplomatic correspondence of the State De- | | partment. ‘The story is told in two letters, the first from Mr. F. D. Grant, United States minister to | Austria, to the Secretary of State and Acting | sistance to the Um Secretary Wharton's response thereto, Mr. Grant said: ‘Sir—I have the honor to request information upon the following subject On the 17th of September, 1869, in Waxhing- ton, D. C., there was born to Mr. and Mrs. Mazel avon. Mr. Mazel was at the time the ister of the Netherland to the United States. His wife was an American citizen. After the birth of the son in question the Mazel family continued to reside in the United Staten until the middie of July, 1871, when they came abroad, and have subse- ently livéd at Stockholm, St. Petersburg and t each of which capitals Mr. Mazel Austria-Hungary. During all this time young Mr. Mazel has been either with his parents or has been placed y them at institutions of Igarning in different cities. He is now twenty-one years of age, and, | while he bas never committed any overt act—b¥ paying taxes or by exercising the right | of suffrage—tending to confirm his allegiance to the kingdom of the Netherlands, to which bi was born a snbject, he has also never since 1871 returned to the United States. It is now young Mr. Mazel’s wish, in which he has the corgial acquiesence of his parents togo to the United States and to become a citizen thereof, and the question arises, there- | for him desired 8 fore, what formblities will be necessat to observe in order to acquire the sa g Mr. Mazel appears before a competent court in the United States, renounces his allegiance to hie sovereign, the Queen of the Netherian clares it to be his wish and | purpose to be admitted to gitizenship in the United States, and gives evidence of bis birth in Washington, D. C., and that he is twenty- one years of age? In other words, would he, under the circumstances, be nt once admitted to citizenship of the United States, or would it be necessary for him to comply with the statute alization? ve not been able to find for my guidance |acase in Wharton's International Law Digest | Which they (sections 183-185) exactly covering the circam- stances herein set forth, and therefore would | be glad to have the department's ruling in the | | matter. Thave, ete. Mr. Wharton, who was acting secretary of tate at the time, responded as follows Sir: T have to acknowledge the receipt of ‘our No. 173, of the 27th ultimo, in relation to the case of Mr. Mazel, who was born in this city on September 17, 1569, and who is con- ntly now n twenty-two years of 1871 the family remo have successively resided in Stockholm, St Petersburg and Vienna, at each of which laces Mr. Mazel, ‘sr. has served is government in a diplomatic capacity. You state that it is now young Mr. Mazel's wish to come to this country and be acitizen thereof, and you ingnire whether, in view of his birth in the United States, he can claim citizenship here without awaiting the lapse of a period of five Fears and performing the ordinary conditions of naturalization. The department is of opinion that Mr. Mazel can enjoy the privileges of citizenship in the United States only after naturalization in the ordinary way. Section 1992 of the Revised Statutes of the United States reads as follows: All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power * * * are declared to be citizens of the United States, There bas been not a little diversity of opinion as to the scope to be given to the words “not subject toany foreign power” in the section just quoted, but it does not appear ‘ever to have been doubted that the child of a diplomatic of- ficer came within the class whore birth in the | United States did not warrant aclaim to citi- | zenship. In this relation it is proper to refer to the case of McK agt. Campbell, 2 Sawyer, | 118, in which it is stated that the “children of ambassadors” form an exception to the rule as to persons being born in the allegience of a sovereign who are born on his soil. It is ‘not thought that the fact of Mr. Mazel having married an American woman affects the case, since legitimate children follow the status of their father.

WORSE THAN CHOLERA. The Fatal Disease That Has Appeared Ip the Little Kock Penitentiary. New Onuraxs, La., Jan. 2.—The Picayune’s Dallas, Tex., special says Mr. H. Pettibone of Little Rock, Ark., is tn the city. In reference to the reported exist ence of cholera among the convicts in the pen itentuary in that city he says that the disease has the symptoms of aholera, but is more swiftly fatal. "It first appeared amonga detach- ment of convicts at work cleaning a sewer on the Iron Mountain road. The uncovering of the sewer liberated a gas, which, it seems, gen- erated the dissec, Keg Eight convicts at work in the sewer died, five of them within half an hour after they were stricken down. From this sewer the disease was conveved to the penitentiary. Mr Pettibone thinks the suddenness of the deaths disposse of the theory that the’ diseasa is due to the bad sanitary condition of the per tentiary. He says the question is whethe cholera generated in the United Statex will spread like that resulting from an imporved germ. The direase has created something like © panic in Little Rock. ——— EXIT GRANT ENTER GILROY. Inistration in New York Witt: No Formal Ceremony. New Yous, Jan. 2 —Hugh J.
