Chronicling America features a January 24, 1896 article, writer unknown, from the Hawaiian Gazette newspaper that provides a brief account of how a court case involving California-born Chinese American, Wong Kim Ark, has cause attention in the Western states.

Other themes include: Chinese immigrants' failure to get naturalized under Burlingame Treaty, the belief that a win for Ark would nullify the Chinese Exclusion Act, the perception that Chinese people in the United States "do not assimilate with the whites [...]" and that "native born Chinese will finally be barred out [...]" of the United States.
