The COOlIe Traffic Pronounced

New IoRK, August 7.
A Washington special says that the
question Of suppressing the coole trade
Is possibly to have q Judicial solution in
advance Of treaties and legislation. Chief
Justice Smaes, at Hong Hong, having
been applied to for a writ Of hdbeGs cor.

mutiny on the high seas, and murderlng

the Coolie sloop Novelle Penelope. Alter
hearing a long and able argument, no re.
leased the prisoner, at the same time. go:
ing beyond the questions strictly involved
in the case, the chief Justice decided
that the cOolle trade was slave trade, and
that the vessels engaged In II are carrying
on piracy; that the coolies are not liable
to punishment for using any means what.
ever to gain their freedom, and that their
seizing the vessel and killing the crew,
il necessary to that end, was Justified by
the English law II this is pronounced
good law in England, II may he that the
same view will be taken by France, the
United States and the German Empire.
If the Coolic trade is slave trade and
piracy, Il can hcswept from the seas in a
few months more eileCtually than the
African slave trade. and by the same
means. There il only one difficulty in
the way Of Justice Smalcs' opinion,
should II be affirmed, and that is that the
Governments of some of the British col
onies have taken measures for the regnla'
tion OF the traffic.

aster, When the train reached the point,

liberately displaced the switch, throwing
from the track the engine, baggage cars,

person was injured and the damage to the
running stock was slight The shock
was severe, many of the persons being
