International Law Involved.
The contention revives an old and vex-
cd question of international law, which
itself is by no means an exact science,
and the president, with his advisers, in
coming the precedents in our diplomatic
history, resolved that Minister Egan
should be supported in every legitimate
manner, without making demand that
could not be Justly maintained. So far
as the protection of refugees is con-
cerned the practice of nations includes
cases widely variant in principle. Our
own history, however, shows that where
the refugees seeking an asylum in le-
cation were not American citizens, the
United States government has uniform
ly discouraged their admission and pro-
lection.
A case that appears to be pertinent oc-
Cured in 1850, when Mr.. CLAYTON, our
secretary of state, in a note to the United
Stales minister to Chill said. "Ac-
ouiescence by the government of Chill
on former occasions in its exercise of the
hospitality of ASYLUM in it's larger sense
may preclude that government from OBJ
iecting to the continued granting of
such hospitality to the same extent. At
The same time, if that government takes
objection to a granting of that hospital
