Ex-senator John Scott, Of Pittsburr
who was made L. 5. Senator by Simon
Cameron six years ago, has come ont in
n letter against the Cameron gang, and
threatens 4 defeat Of the Republican
ticket in Pennsylvania next fall, if the
Camerons are to dictate the nominees.
Mr.. Scott is an able man, and the radi-
cal leader in the western part Of the
state, and thinks it is time Cameron
domination in the republican party be
broken down. Mr. Scott is right-but
has he courageous republicans enoGeh
TO stand up eud make the Camerons
take back seat, or else bring about the
threatened defeat Of the party? Wen
see, as the blind man said. Mr.. Scott
was in Washington the other day, where
he predicted that the Cameron ring will
be overwhelmed ct the polls this fall.
The people Of the western part OF the
State, be says, are indignant beyond ex~
preston, almost, over the came played
by old Simon in The interest Of His son
and the Senatorship. Although Mr
Scott does not say 50 openly, his views
clearly indicate that there will be .
Democratic tidal wave this fall which
will destroy the Mackey-C Cameron KEN

As the United States are 20 be ueutrals
/ in this war between Russia and Turkey,
saws the y. Y. sun, there are some
/ points in regard 70 the rights and duties
Of neutrality which j; may De well TO
state.
The general rules or neutrality are The
I following:
on the breaking on; Of 4 war between
. two nations with which the United
/ States are at peace, the vessels Of war Of
either Of them may be required to de-
/ part from our ports within twenty-four
hours, except in case Of stress Of wealth
er, or when they require provisions for
their crews ofrepairs in which ease they
must go 10 sea as soon as possible AFTER
the expiration Of the twcnty-four
hours.
Neither provisions nor repairs can be
obtained beyond wha, is necessary 70
enable the vessel TO reach the nearest
! port ofits own country.
No facilities Of warlike equipment can
be obtained in q neutral port, and the
lelligerent cannot use the harbors,
ports, casts, or waters ofthe neutral in
aid Of its warlike purposes, or as sta
ton or place Of resort for any warlike
purpose. Ifthe belligerent vessel is a
steam vessel ofwar, it cannot receive,
in neutral port, any more coal than is
necessary 70 take il 10 the nearest port
ofits own country, OF TO some nearer
destination; and it is usual 10 require
that the same vessel shall not receive two
supplies Of coal from ports Of the same
neutral within less than q given time.
say three months, Of each other Sub
Jet TO these rules-which it is compe-
tent TO the Government Of the neutral
State 10 announce that il will act upon.
the vessels of either belligerent may
enter our ports rs often as our Governs
ment may see fl to allow.
American vessels carrying arms or
other warlike supplies to Russia or Tur-
key will be liable to capture for carrying
contrahand Of war. The modern rule is
,hat provisions are generally not cons
traband but they may become so under
circumstances arising out Of the particu~
lar situation ofthe war or the condition!
Of the parties engaged in it. Ifthey are |
carried for the general use Of life in an
enemy's country, they are not in gener-
al deemed Contraband; but If they are I
destined for military or naval use, or
for ports % military or naval equipment /
they are liable 10 be treated rs contra~ /
band. Contraband works forfeiture oil
freight. Formerly contrabaud worked .
a forfeiture ofthe ship, but in modern
times the ship if forfeited only when it
is owned by the same person who owns
the cargo. The cruisers Of either bellig-
erent can capture American vessels hav-
ing property Of the other belligerent on
board, and take them in for adjudica>
ton in their prize courts, but they can
not transship the property atsea unless It
IS indispensable for its preservation. In
1ocent parts Of the same cargo to escape
.he contagion ofcontraband must be the
Of a different owner.
