entertainment at the Music Hall last night which

of a simple stage set little pantomme and
modicum OF dialogue. partly carried or in English
(nominay for the benefit Of the personages on
the stage but really for the instruction Of the peo-

customs connected with hetrothal and marriage in
the communal villages Of Russia were, presented.

JNSTrPG ENTS AND EELTIG ERENTS

The Administrations contention respecting
American commercial rights in Brazilian waters
is defined by Minister Thompson in explicit
terms 1t is grounded upon the failure OF the
Insurgents 10 obtain recognition as bcllgcrens.
Their right 10 interfere with the movement or
American merchant ships or 10 search them OF
10 seize any portion Of their cargOes even CON
traband of war, is denied. " Until belligercnt
rights are accorded" the Minister states, pre-
sumaby with the concurrence Of the State De
partmcnt, insurgents hive no right To exercise
authority over American vessels or property
70 this extent the American fleet is now pro-
tccting commerce under its Dag. although YES
selowners are warned that they must take
the consequences when getting in the line Of fire
where legitimate hosliiiics are actually In
progress" What are Legitimate hOsiliticS ."
the Minister does not explain in his dispatch,
and it is Il delicate question Of international
law Admiral da Cana, if he Ovcrthrows the
Pexoto Government. will undoubtedly base Il
claim against the United States Government
for indemnity upon the fact that the prevention
of the landing of munitions and cOntraband or
war was Il form Of legitimate hostilities'
1t is evident that no parallel TO the situation
at Rio can be found in the blockade Of the
Southern scaboard 10y the Union fleets during
the American Civil War. The bcgcrent rights
of the Confederate insurgents were recognized
by European Governments. and the blockade
against foreign commerce was maintained not
by them, but by the Federal naval power The
blockade moreover, Was conducted efficient
" that it was beyond the power of foreign
Governments 10 protect their commerce, even
if international law had not prohibited the con
voy Of blockaderlinncrs into port. All these
conditions are reversed Al Rio The insurgents
are not recognized as bcllisercns they are
blockadinc the capital of the National Govern
ment. and they are neither maintaining an
effective blockade nor waging war with the
sanction Of any constituted authority or de
facto Government The two cases are not on
