Strawberries

The growers of this fruit in the neighbor-
hood of Baltimore have done a large business
this year. In Anne Arundel county, some
five or six miles from Baltimore, several farm
ers have large tracts under cultivation-two
have each over one hundred acres, and 9TH
ers nerly as much land. Some idea may be
formed of the extent of trade when We state
that on the largest fields, from two to three
hundred persons are employed in picking
fruit, the whole number engaged for this
purpose in the height of the season being
some six OF eight hundred men, women and
children, whose average daily labor result
in picking about sixty quarts each. The
usual course Of Of operations is to have pick
ed and packed in boxes as many as the hand
can gather before two o'clock, y. NJ. each
day; for at that hour a steamer of the Erics-
son Line goes round to the wharf on the
Anne Arundel side of the Patapsco river and
takes in daily during the season Il full load
of boxes of strawberries for immediate con-
veyance to Philadelphia. The operations of
gathering for the boat having been finished
the hands fall actively to work for the sup
ply of the Baltimore market. How many
thousand quarts are thus daily disposed OF
we cannot say. The steamer is generally
loaded entirely with them. Those for Baltl-
more are sent to market both by land and
water. The season is now at its height, and
after the present week they will rapidly de.

Is Grain Contrabamd Of Warl

The London Times proclaims that at
seems perfectly reasonable that both grain
and coal should be contraband OF war; 1t
then goes back to the time Of Charles J.. to
seek authority for making grain and victuals
of all sorts" contraband, and then claims
that "each sovereign has the ~prerogative to
make new declarations Of contraband.'
The rights of n%eutrals and the rule of con-
traband of war are not very clearly defined
in the admitted law of nations. But the in
telligence of the present day requires that
the doubt should accrue to the benefit OF
peaceful, and not Of captious and belligerent
nations. The decisions ofthe British Courts
of Admiralty, rendered during the long and
passionate conflict that marked the begin
ming of the present century, are often in con
hict with the admitted principles OF preced-
ing times, and are not safe guides for the
present generation. During that struggle
England endeavored arbitrarily to bend the
principles of international law to suit her
own views and purposes, and by virtue Of
might alone insisted upon playing with the
rest ofthe world, at the game Of, heads win
tails you lose"
On the 9Th of June 1893, she instructed
her cruisers to stop all vessels bound To
France laden with corn, -four or meal, and
to send them to a British port, but not for
confscation. In her treaty with Russia,
February, 1877, it was stipulated that 'only
cannons, mortars, firearms, pistols, bombs,
grenades, balls, bullets, frelocks, fints,
matches, powder, saltpetre, sulphur, he'll
NETS, pixies, swords, sword belts, saddles and
brides" should be held as contraband of war;
and this list was afterwards adopted in the
convention between the same two Powers
concluded in 1901.
In determining what articles should be
comprised in the list of contraband of war,
there is a very clear principle laid down by
the publicis.s, which it would be well for all
governments to adopt and adhere to. That
is, that contraband of wal should not com
prise any other articles than those useful on
ly for purposes of war. If any attempt is
made to include in it those articles which are
of promiscuous use in peace and in war, the
list would be interminable, since there Is
hardly any material out of which something
fit for war may not be fabricated. As for
1.-The %prerogative Of each sovereign to make
new declarations of contraband, we reject it
at once and forever. Therein lies the whole
danger. 1t would place the commerce OF the
world at the mercy of any mad monarch who
had the power of making war, or issuing al
"order in council" to his cruisers.-N. York

A&sin in Utah.

The Attorney General Of the United States
under the instructions of the President, has
written a letter to the United States Judges
in Utah, on the subject of the recent trou'
bles in that territory, concluding as follows:
On the whole, the President is very deer
dedly of opinion
/. That the Governor of the Territory
alone has power to Issue a requisition upon
the commanding general for the whole or a
part of the army.
2. That there was no apparent occasion
for the presence of the troops at Provo.
8. That if q rescue of the prisoners in Gus.
todv had BEEN attempted, it was the duty OF
the marshal, and not of the judge, to sum
mon the force which might be necessary to
a. That the troops ought not to have been
sent to Provo without the concurrence OF the
Governor, nor kept there against his remon-

S. That the disregard of these principles
and rules of action has been in many ways
extremely unfortunate.
