[rrom me Washlnrron Union. Julral

From the Washington Union, July
We gave, the other day, full report ofthe debates
in Parliament on the subject of search in order TO
enable our readers TO see what language the minis
try Of the Earl OF Derby would employ in announc-
ing to the British people and the world their sub
mission to the principles OF international law on the
subject Of the equality Of the nations upon the high
feas maintained by the American government, which
submission in most explicit and satisfactory terms,
had been officially communicated 70 General Cas- by
the Earl Of Mamesbury. We had previously stated
the decision OF her Majestys government on the
strength Of dispatches communicated 20 the Depart
ment Of State through Lord Napier, employing sub
stantialy the language of those dispatches, which
was frank, manly and unequivocal, aud, We may
add all that this government could ask.
We find, notwithstanding these announcements,
and we think, the equally satisfactory oral de-
clarations in the House of Commons on the ssmesub
jcct that enterprsng and usually well informed
contemporary, the NEw YORK HERALD, continues to
express its doubts whether, after ALL the government
Of England has abandoned its ancient claim of visi-
tation or in point Of fact has made any substantial
concession on this important subject. The HERALD
seems to regard our notices OF this matter AZ
having been based wholly upon the report Of the
Parliamentary debate. In truth, we noted the
satisfactory decision Of the British ministry long
before the arrival in this country Of the discussion
in the Commons, and on the credit wholly Of The
correspondence between the two governments
The HERALD has been one of the ablest, most
consistent and powerful advocates Of the American
construction of the law Of nations the subject of
search and visitation; but we venture 10 say that
journal would be quite a. easily satisfied with disa
vowals on the part Of England Of the claim dis
tinctly laid down by Lord Aberdeen in 1912 in refe
renee 20 this matter as the present administration
especially 40 az the question came before the coun-
try this time on the strength of the offensive exer
else Of the claim by British cruisers in our own
seas
We repeat again. that England has utterly aban.
uoned the assumed right, aad thus closed the
controversy.

The Seizure OF Sugar.
TO THE EDITOR OF rHE HERALD.

NEW YORK, July 10, 1903.
notice in your paper of this date an article stat
ing that about 1900 pounds Of sugar was seized
from the brig Nebraska by the tenor of which state
ment Il Is implied that said sugar was stolen from
on board with the connivance Of some person in
charge. Not being willing that either the brig or
myself should suffer under snch an imputation,
deem il necessary that should make brief state
ment Of the facts.
The sugar in question was the sweepings Of the
hold, and belonged to Mr. J. NJ. Ceballos and which
refused TO deliver from the vessel without an order
from him, notwithstanding that was frequently inn
portuned 10 do so.
received yesterday an order signed by Mr. Co
ballos' clerk, for Mr.. Ceballos directing me 10 de-
liver the sweepings Of sugar In the hold 10 Mr.. VIM
Lloyd, which order obeyed. ] have since under
stood that after said sugar left the vessel IL was
seized hut upon what grounds said seizure has been
made, am rs yet entirely ignorant. Yours truly,
SAM. FREExAr, Master brig Nebraska.

THE STEAMSHIP TxNNsssEK--YxLLOw FEWER At

HANNA.
The Board met a. noon yesterday, his Honor the
Mayor presiding.
The Health Officer reported the arrival Of the
steamship Tennessee, from New Orleans, with pas
sengers and cargo and that he had directed the bag
gage to be Immediately transferred to steamer,
where the whole of it win be opened and ventilated,
and the passengers taken on board and brought to
the city The Tennessee viii stay at the upper Quar-
antine for the purpose Of undergoing cleansing,
fumigation, and other sanitary processes.
The same officer reported also the arrival Of yes
sci from Havana, upon which two of the crew had
died while at that port from yellow fever.
Her cargo was directed TO be removed in lighters
and the vessel to go into usual quarantine for thirty
days.
The course pursued by the doctor was approved.
The stores and supplies from the United States
frigate Susquehanna are daily being piled on the
government wharf at Quarantine, and the Mayor bad
wrsen W the Collector for permission TO place these
stores in the government warehouses erected on the
wharves before mentioned
The reply ofthe Collector was to the effect that he
could not give such permission without an order
from the Secretary of the Treasury to whom he has
written, and from whom he expected reply in
few days.
In the meantime, the supplies and stores are lying
on the open wharf, exposed to the violence of the
weather, loss theft, and other accidents. t-x
The contractors are doing all they can, in the
meantime, to protect the cargo from injury, and
have covered it with some of the old sails from the
Susquehanna.
The act of 1899 authorizes the President to erect
warehouses oneyery Quarantine station throughout
the United States, for the purpose Of receiving
goods from infected ports and yet the cargo Of this
steamer, which is government vessel, will not be
permitted to be stored in the proper place. Ad.

Circuit Court.

BEFORE Hon. Judge Wright.
Judges Davies, Ingraham and Sutherland having
retired from the bench the Circuit Court was open
ed before Judge Wright.
Mr.. Blankman then moved TO amend the postea.
Mr.. McKeon opposed the motion.
The Judge intimated that he would not amend the
ostso and said that he thought the only action he
could take would be to return to the general
term the stipulation of the counsel for the with
drawai of the Juror, Frederick Muller; but then he
believed il would not form part of the record.
After some observations from Mr.. McKeon.
The Judge said he did not desire 10 take the
responsibility OF deciding the question now. lie
would consult with the other Judges and give his
opinion on Monday morning.

pend judgment-for good reason--and the reason
here offered is good one.
Judge Davies, in giving the opinion OF the Court.
said that any application TO amend the posfea must
be made to the Judge at Circuit-thereby refusing
Mr. Blankman 3 motion.
The Attorney General said that from the intima.
tion of Judge Sutherland as to the suspending Of
judgment he would wish to be heard before the
Court came to any such conclusion.
Mr.. Blankman was willing now to present the
defendants affidavit to Judge Wright a. the Circuit
conscience, would come to after reading It.
The Attorney General argued at some length
against any suspension OF the sentence.
At this stage of the proceedings the Court an
nounced that they would adjourn to Monday morning
at eleven o'clock; in the meantime, counsel could
make any application they desired to the Judge at
Circuit, but this Court had power to compel the
Judge at Circuit to amend the posted.
Judge Wright confessed that he did not know how
he could amend the posea; he could state what was
done about the stipulation, but there was no ex
ception taken, he does not know how he could put
in the posteG.
Adjourned TO Monday at eleven o'clock.
The court room was densely crowded throughout
the day.
