THE CUTTING MIDDLE
The IntriCacieS Of the Case That Must Be
Unravelled.

WASHINGTON, August 2l.-No intima-
ton has been received ut the State Depart
ment of the alleged purpose of the Next
cans to pardon Cutting as soon as he shall
have entered upon his term of imprison'
ment, but there is disposition to believe
that some way will be found TO release
him and thus to get rid of the annoying
complication. Should this be done merely
as an act of clemency on the part of the
Mexican authorities, and without any
avowcd remuneration of the claim of extra
Territorial jurisdiction, this Government
will then undertake the task of securing
such q remuneration 50 far rs American ci-
tizenS are concerned, since the claim is
held to be abhOrrent to all the principles
of modern international law rs recognized
and practiced by governments which make
any pretence to civilization.
With cutting out of the way rs n direct
issue the subsequent proceedings would, of
course, be carried on entirely through the
leisurely channels of diplomacy, and with

either side. 1t isadmitted that the ObnOX
iOus law was, at the time Mexico declared
her independence, apart Ofthe French code
and that certain powers Of Europe may
have set up and practiccd upon
similar claims ut that time; but it is as
serted that it has long since been abrO-
gated or passed into disuSc, and that such
a claim would not now he aSscnted TO for
a moment by the American Government,
whoever might set itup There are crimes,
such rs cOnSpiracics to overthrow foreign
governments, and the fitting out of tilibus-
tcring expeditions, which, if committed
by Americans upon American soil, would
not only render the criminal liable to ar
rest and punishment hero for vio-
latiOn of our own laws but also,
if subsequently caught within the
jurisdiction of the offended government,
liable to apprehension and trial according
to the laws of that power. without calling
for other action on the part of our Govern
ment than the effect to see that the accused
had II fair trial. But Otlcnscs against the
persons or the interests of foreigners COM
mittcd upon American soil either by Amer
leans or foreigners, are, it is claimed,
within the sole and exclusive jurisdiction
of American courts, and TO this doctrine ii
is asserted all civilized Governments except
Mexico assent.
1t can De stated by authority that no de-
mand for Consul Brigham's resignation has
been made, and that he is held in high
esteem by the Department Of State. SO far
rs the department is officially informed his
actions in connection with the Cutting
episode have been WISE energetic and cred
table
1t seems to he accepted in some quarters
rs proven that the department has made
mistake in its assumption that Mexico holds
Cutting for an act committed on this side
of the boundary line. No mistake is ac-
knowledgcd ut the department, and so far
us its present information goes the position
taken by this Government is fully justified.

At the conclusion of the conference the

"Then you do not propose to 90 ahead ut

this We have in this trial men who were
called squealers and inlormers. There
were three or four of them. One of them
went back on us on thcwitneSs stand. From
these men we have obtained the names Ofall
the principal Anarchists in Chicago We
have these lists and the Anarchist do not
know it, | want them to know ii now;

to injure hair of the head of any juror

After the Convention.

airy delegates left for the East tonight, and
after stopping at Niagara Falls will start
at once for England One Of the American
delegates, speaking of the convention, said:
XThe Finerty episode is much to he regret
ted, and | hold that those who were so
clamerous for a speech did not show very
much loyalty to the cause. He had plainly
defined his position Immediately after the
adoption of the platform, and every one in
the convention knew, or ought to have
known, his views. He would either report
them or change his position. To precipi-
tate the first was unwise, and the latter
could not be thought of in a man of Elm
erty's firmneSS. He was very reluctant in
responding to the call for a speech"
About the effect of the conventions work
Mr.. John F. Finerty would not venture
an opinion. IL am not an officer of the
League" he said, in explanation of his re-
fuSal.
