The Relations OF the American and En-

the killing Of George Cover Rob,nsen
BY Lieut.. Hetherington. U. s MA DELI
cate Task for the American Consular
Court.
LONDON, March "A dispatch from
Yokohama says that serious division
of feeling has arisen between the En-
glish and American colonies relative to
the shooting of George Cover Robin
son, the English banker, by Lieut. J. H.
Hetherington, Of the United States
navy. Under the existing treaties
with Japan. European countries and the
United States have exira-territorial
jurisdiction over criminals belonging to
their respective nstionalitiea This
jurisdiction Japan has for some time
labored to abolish, but without success,
as foreigners claim that they are not
yet sufficiently convinced thatJapanese
justice is fitted for dealing with civ
ilized people. The case Of Lieut. Heth-
erington, of course, comes under Amer
lean jurisdiction, as he is the person &C
cused, and he will be tried by the

ously, and should Hetherington be &C
quilted, or let OF with a light penalty.
there will probably. Judging from ex-
isting feeling, be repr:sals in some FORM
Robinson was very popular among the
English colony, and his friends claim
that there was no good cause or excuse
for Hetherington taking the law In his
own hands The case has already led
to very strained relations between En-
giish and American society in Japan,
and some of the leading English have
given the cut direct to American ac-
quaintances, especially Of the official
class
As English influences are predomi-
nant in Japan, the situation also affects
unfavorably American relations with
the natives Hetherington's friends are
making efforts to secure evidence that
will place him right in the eyes Of the
foreign element, and give reason for
his acquittal that both the Americans
and English will regard as satisfactory.
They hope to prove that Robinson
boasted of his conquests of the other
sex, and that Mrs. Hetherington was
not the only victim of his wiles, and
that the circumstances under which
Lieut.. Hetherington took the life
of the alleged seducer Of his wife
would have justified any husband in
acting rs he did. On the other hand,
Robinson's ante-mortem statement,
denying that he had been guilty of any
wrong, and asserting that he had only
flirted with Mrs Hetherington, has
many believers, and will, IL is claimed,
tell strongly against Hetherington on
his trial. The case is q most embarrass-
ing one for the consular court, whose
duties are usually confined to COM
plants against or by seamen, or occa-
sional acts of wrong-doing by cosmo-
politan vagrants. 1t is all the more
embarrassing because the Japanese
will watch it narrowly, as a specimen
of foreign justice, which they are now
losing no opportunity to criticise. The
Japanese are deeply aggrieved because
America and England have not con-
sented to accept Japanese jurisdiction
for their subjects, and they will, there
fore, be delighted to be able to point to
an alleged failure of justice.
