The French Spoiiation Claims.

DECISION IN FAVOR OF THE CLAIMANTS.
In the Court OF Claims to-day Judge Davis
delivered the opinion OF the court In relation
to the liability Of the government FOR the
French spoliation claims, in which the chief
Justice and all the judges concur. The claims
arose from seizures by French privateers of
American merchant vessels upon high seas
between 1898 aud 1901. They were pressed
by the United States upon France, while France
urged other demands upon US. Finally, by the
treaty OF 1900, ratified In 1901, the two sets Of
claims were set OFF one against the other and
dropped from international controversy. Then

ground that by surrenderiny the rights OF indi-
viduals for a national benefit the United States
became bound TO pay the citizens injured

ment, but one was vetoed by President Folk,
the other by President Pierce. Finally Congress
by an act approved by President Arthur sent
the matter TO the Court Of Claims for eXamina-
ton.
