BELLIGERENT RIGHTs-L C. NJ, Oakland. Cal
The occasion for the accordance of bellieerent
rights arises when civil conflict exists within
foreign State. The reason which REQUIRES
and can alone justify this step by the Govern
ment OF another country is that its own rights
and interests are SO far affected as to REQUIRE q
nehnltion OF its own relations to the parties.
Wnere a parent Government is seeking to sub
que an lnsurrection by municipal force and
the insurgents claim a political nationality
ana beillgerent rights, which the parent Gov
eminent does not concede, q recognition by a
foreign State of full belllgerent rights. if not
lustlned by necessity, is gratuitous demon
stration OF moral support to the rebellion and
OF censure OF the parent Government But the
situatlon OF foreign State with references
10 the contests and the conditions OF
aHalrs between the contending parties
may ma pc = such as to Justify this act. If the
unlted states accord full belligerent rights tn

Look Out for Sharks,

Red Lake reservation lands has begun
in earnest. Every day witnesses train
after train of prairie schooners passing
along the several routes leading to the
promised land, while the railways are
furnishing their quota of home seekers
to every available point along the bord

ment which the opening of all public
lands has brought about to the honest
home seekers, has already manifested
its presence at all available points along
the border, and this is the hordes of So
called ''locators," who stand ready to
hang about and besiege every home
seeker, claiming to locate any and every
one (mostly on paper at any price and
on any portion of the reservation. The
greater portion of these ''locating
sharks practically speaking, have
never been on the lands and know
nothing about the conditions or rules
governing the opening Of these lands.
Several parties have already been taken

to see to it that if locators have to be
employed proper and competent men

First Birthday.

First Birthday.
Friedrichsruhe, April 2.-The s1st
anniversary of the birth of Prince Bis
marclk was celebrated Wednesday with
great enthusiasm. The weather was
clear and cold and the sun shone bright.
From the railway station, the post
office, the castle gates and many private
buildings, flags were flying in profusion
and by noon there were many other evil
dences of a general celebration. Crowds
of villagers and strangers assembled at
the entrance to the castle park, which
was guarded by gendarmes, who rigidly
excluded the public therefrom. The
bands of the Ratzeburg Chasseurs, the
Hamburg Seventy-sixth regiment, and
the Altoona Thirty-frst regiment arrived
at II o'clock, at which hour CARLOAD
of flowers arrived at the castle, to-
gether with a great mum Der of presents
for the ex-chancellor. The mail
brought a package from Naples con.
tanning present from the emperor.
There was at night a big torchlight
procession in the grounds of Fried
richsruh, headed by the Hamburg dele
cation, and following which Prince Bis
marck made brief address. Stimuli
tsneously there were torchlight process
sions and banquets in large number of
cities, towns and villages throughout
the empire, and bonfres were lighted OH
the high hills and mountains.

DlAz FOR MONROE DOCTRINE.
Strong Decla ration by the President of
Mexico IN Ills MeSsare.


Mexico in Ills Message.
City Of Mexico, April 1.-The most
important part of the presidents mes
sage delivered Wednesday at the open
ing of congress is an allusion to the
Anglo-Venezuela controversy and Presi-
dent C.eyeland's message to congress.
After reviewing at length the Venezuela
case and application of the Monroe,doc-
trine President Diaz says:
1.-THE Mexican government cannot but de-
clare Its partially for a doctrine which
condemns any attacks upon the part Of
the monarchies of Europe against the re-
publ1cs of America. against the independ-
ent nations of this continent, now all SUBJ
lect to popular form of government. The
whole of our history, and especially the
struggle of our people to shake off the
yoke of foreign empire which is Euro
pean both in it's origin, form and re-
sources and the torrents of bloodshed III
that struggle. are sufficient testimony to
the world of our love of independence and
cur adherence to all outside interference.
1t is our opinion that not to the United
States alone belongs the obligation of as
s1sting other republics Of the hemisphere
against the attacks of Europe, If such at
taclls are still to be considered as possible,
but for the attainment of an end to which
we all aspire
Each one of those republics ought by
means of declaration like that of Presi-
dent Monroe proclaim that every attack
on the part Of foreign power with view
of curtailing the territory or independence
or Of altering the institutions Of any one
of the republics of America would be con-
sidered by the nation making such dec
laration as an attack upon itself, provided
that nation deliberately attacked or threat
ened in that manner, bespoke the aid of
other nations opportunity. In this manner
the doctrine now called by the name of
Monroe would become the doctrine of
America in the fullest sense of the word,
and, although originating in the United
States, would belong to the international
law of this continent. AS to the means to
reduce this idea to practice, this is not the
place or time to discuss theln.''
