BELGIUM AGAINST JERSEY.
The Unusual Case Before the United
States Supreme Court.

The Unusual Case Before the United
States Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-An interesting
Ind unusual case came up for argument
the United States Supreme Court the
ther day under the title of the king of
he Belgians, by Charles Mali. Consul,
gainst the keeper OF the common Jail Of
hudson county, New Jersey" The facts
Iut Of which this international cOntro-
ersy has arisen are briefly as follows:
IN Oct. 10 last there occurred on board
he Belgian steamship NoOrdland, lying
her dock in Jersey City, a fight be-
ween her sailors, in the course OF which
ne OF them named Wildenhus stabbed
nd killed another named Frlgens, botn
belgian subjects. The police authorities
rrested tho murderer and TWO other sail
rs who were witnesses OF the fight and
Imprisoned them in the Jersey City jail.
The Belgian Consul, acting under in
tructtons from his government, demand
d the release Of all the prisoners upon
he ground that the crime was committed
within the jurisdiction of the kingdom of
Belgium, and that under the law OF ma
ions, ard the treaties between the
United States and Belgium, he. as Con-
lul, had sole authority in the premises.
The demand for the release OF the pris-
iners was refused, whereupon the Con-
lul sued out a writ OF hateas corpus, and.
lpon the dismissal OF that writ by the
United States Circuit Court, brought the
Iase to this court by appeal.
The principal question raised by the
Ippeal, as stated by counsel for the King
4 the Belgians, is whether foreign
alton. when il may choose to assert the
privilege, has the exclusive right to con-
rol the internal order of its own ships,
'oth civil and criminal, even when in the
'orts of another nation, provided the
tranquility Of such other state is not in
'olyed or persons within Its jurisdiction
concerned.
Counsel for the New Jersey authorities
maintained that every person coming
Within the jurisdiction Of the State is
NioJect to Its laws, and owes local
lllegiance in return for the protection
lnorded by the government; and that
mere Is no law which would allow the

issued the following statement last night
regarding certain articles published re-
specting him In the Eastern States and
England:
To the Pubic:
After two months diligent investigation

VINO s rabld hater OF the Pope. has persist
emily indulged in personalities concern
[ had become q Protestant, and at
subsequent period he invited those who
desired to know my address to call at the
Argonaut Office and also referred them TO a
distinguished attorney OF Sacramento for my
manner of life. 1t was the Argonaut which
supplied the news published concerning mo in
the New York, Chicago and Philadelphia
papers. and the Sacramento attorney fur
nished additional news concerning me to one
New York journal, and which /. in a tele-
gram addressed TO tho latter paper, charac-
terized as tissue OF falsehOod and where n
the journal was made the catspaw to perse-
cute an honorable American lady and TO
thwart her claims IN pending litigation.
1t now transpires that the Sacramento
attorney is none other than the opposing
counsel in her suit. Ny honor and justice to
apersecuted lady, ,ofirreproachablc of character
and loved and respected by her neigbbors
and all who know her, as well as a duty to
my church and to myself oblige me to take
action simultaneously. ! shall prosecute the
authors here in California. and the publishers
OF the vile statements in the East. l may add
that Mr.. Valensin, the husband OF the
lady referred to, reiterates mOet emphat-
icallv that he never circulated any story re-
lecting on his vile and myself.
