Diplomatic Immunity.
PRIVILEGES OF FOREIGN MINISTER'S AND THE MEM
BERs OF THEIR HoUsEHoLDs-oUR OWN COURTS
RESPONSIBLE FOR A LIBERAL INTERPRETATION OF
INTERNATIONAL LAws-AN EASY NATTER TO GET
RID OF AN OFFENSIVE DIPLOMAT
In view of the recent publications alleging
dpd IN to-
tives Of foreign countries STAR reporter took oc-
casion to make inquiries at the department re-
garding the immunities and the alleged abuses.
In the first place. 1t may be stated that in every
civilized country 1t is considered absolutely neces-
sary that every properly accredited representative
OF foreign government to that country shall at
all times be free and unhampered to represent his
government, and that he shall, therefore, not be
amenable to the laws Of the country In which he

AS to the complaint that immunity is granted not
only public ministers. but all connected with their
households, it is said that our own courts are re-
sponsible for this. on account of the latitude al
lowed by their Interpretation OF international
laws. It Is evident that the recent midnight
troubles OF Senior Lamax the charge d'afraires Of
the Brazilian legation, originated the ventilation
OF the diplomatic immunity subject. 1t is stated
that Senior Lamaix is undoubtedly entitled to all
the consideration and privileges OF public min
lser Tor he Is at present the representative OF the
Brazilian government The circumstances of that
occasion, however, in no way called for the inter-
vent1on OF the Department OF State. AS stated in
THE STAR the request for q statement OF what
occurred on that occasion has not been made by
the state department., but personal request has
been made in behalf OF senior Lamatx,
