sur BETWEEN STEAMSHIP COMPANIES.
To-day the case of the Metsu Beshi Steam
ship Company vs. the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company was before Judges Sawyer and
Hoffman in the United States Circuit Court,
on petition for rehearing of the motion to
dismiss. The suit was brought by the Metsu
Beshi Steamship Company to recover from
defendant 81. 600 for carrying the mail
once for defendant between Shanghai and
Yokohama. 1t was tried in the Consular
Court, before American Consul. General Van
Buren,, at Kanagowa, Japan, and plaintiff
obtained an allowance of So, 600. The motion
of defendant to dismiss was denied, and the
case is here now on appeal from that ruling.

plaintiff is corporation of citizens of Japan,
and therefore, under the treaty with Japan,
the cause should be tried by Japanese
Court. The argument was heard and the
motion taken under advisement.
