NEW YORK. June "A World des-
patch from Madrid says: Spain is
fast drifting to a forced paper cur
rency. The run on the Bank of Spain
has assumed such proportions that peo-
pie form in long line hours before the
offices open in Madrid and the pro-
vincial branches. The bank gives
small notes in exchange for 900 or
500 peseta notes, and only exchange
for silver pesetas or dollars the %
so or 100 peseta notes. The govern
ment has vainly tried to stop the run
by prohibiting the exporting of silver,
promising to coin millions of pesetas
daily, which it cannot do until it in
creases the machinery of the mint.
Every retail store and tobacco stand
still rejects the notes, and the money
changers charge five per cent. discount.
The Bank of Spain has 2O,0OO,OOO in
silver to meet the 260, 900 in notes
in circulation. Tax collections were
much slower this spring than hereto
fore, and the new taxes are expected
to produce so little that the govern
ment has decided to raise money by
negotiating a loan in France, pledging
the principal monopolies; the minis
tiers of war, marine and the colonies
having declared that it is absolutely
necessary to have twenty-seVen mil
lion pesetas monthly.

QUARANTINE.

Perhaps the most striking survival
of past barbarism is quarantine. In
the closing years of the nineteenth
century-with our boosted sanitation
and remedial measures for the anne
Iteration of suffering humanity-it is
little short of astounding that certain
alleged civilized nations should, on the
approach or menace of disease, cry

ness and cruelty of such action. In
England there is no quarantine; yet
it cannot be said that the national
health has been jeopardised in con-
sequence. Other countries, however,

If Hawaii has violated her treaty
with Spain, by refusing to submit to,
or act upon the arbitration clause,
although it is a very clear one, it will,
we believe, be the first instance in
modern times of a nation deliberately
jumping" on a treaty which provides
for arbitration. If a serious issue is
ever raised about it, it will present a
novel question. If our unexecuted
agreement with the United States for
annexation has terminated our treaty
with Spain, it relieves us from the
charge of being a nation, and the first
nation, to violate a treaty which pro-
vided for arbitration. We hope of
course that the charge cannot be sus-
tanned. But we may as we'll look the
fact in the face, especially as we desire
the Americans to know that we have
not hesitated to sacrifice our honor
In their interests.

Kahuiui Railway Asks Damages
From Hawaiian Commercial.
The Kahului Railway and the Ha-
waiian Commercial companies are
once more in court. This time the
KahuIui Company appears as the ag-
gressor.
In March last the Hawaiian Com
meTciaI created a sensation for Hawaii
nei by presenting what was afterwards
called in court here the United States
or California method of acquiring a
railroad right of way The Hawaiian
Commercial went over the tracks of
the KahuIui Company at night and
had on hand force to meet any re-
sistance to the operations in hand.
Next the Hawaiian Commercial came
into court in Honolulu and asked for
an injunction forbidding the Kahului
Railway Company touching the work
that had been done at night This
was one of the most interesting and
earnestly contested issues ever made
at the Hawaiian bar. The Hawaiian
Commercial was defeated.
Now the Kahului Railway Company
sues for $4,000 damages from the
Hawaiian Commercial. The plaintiff
alleges that injury to this amount has
been sustained by the forcible manner
of the defendant and by the right of
way trespassed upon.

A misleading and entirely Incorrect
statement was recently made by one Of
our contemporaries regarding a certain
application of the laws of neutrality.
The statement is this: "The British
Government had proclaimed neutral
ity, and the escape of the Alabama was
a violation of the rule laid down by
the Government, and these Islands
have laid down no such rule"
This statement is a fiat contradiction
of the authorities on International law,
Wheaton, Hall, Lawrence and of the
statements contained in the published
case itself.
Great Britain proclaimed her neu-
traIity and observed it as it was under
stood by her rulers. But as Lawrence,
one of the authorities says, "the most
important maratime power in the
world was guilty of breach of Inter
national Law without knowing it, and
while being informed by all her own
authorities that her conduct was per-
fectly correct"
While she had not violated her own
rules of neutrality, as declared by her
own rulers, she had violated that In
ternational law which is not made by
one nation, but is the result of a very
general and often vague understand
ing by all nations.
The treaty of Washington which
provided for the Geneva award in the
Alabama" case, especially declared
that the issues should be tried by the
principles of international Law, and
not by any rules of neutrality which
Great Britain had recognized in her
own practice. The arbitrator held, in
deciding the case, that the British pre-
cedents and practice did not go far
enough, and were insufficient, and,
thereupon, they laid down stricter, and
more stringent rules of neutrality than
had ever before existed, even more
stringent than the United States were
in favor of.
At a time when our position is an
interesting, though not a dangerous
one, it is just as we'll that we find out
what the law really is.
A State, according to the we'll re-
cognized authorities, is under Obliga-
tions of neutrality, even if neutrality
is not proclaimed. Germany has not
proclaimed her neutrality, but she is
bound to obey International Laws 1e-
garding neutrals, so far as they bind
any nation, and so far as they are gen
orally accepted. These authorities say,
and in previous issues we have quoted
them, that International Law does not
yet cover certain articles, such as coal
or food France, in the Chinese war
declared rice to be cOntraband. but
this is not considered good law. The
United States in her treaties has
agreed to consider certain articles con- |
traband, but Great Britain refuses to
follow her in all cases.
But all nations are agreed, and this |
is International Law, that no country |
can remain neutral, and allow itself |
to become "a base of operations for |
either belligerent. Should Hawaii ever |
be called upon to meet the charge of |
a violation of neutrality, and besides |
that, of breaking her treaty with |
Spain, an event which is entirely I'M |
likely to happen, she will be charged |
as Great Britain was charged, in the |
Alabama case, not with violating any |
rules of her own, but of disregarding |
International Law.

ASKS FOR RECEIVER.
r. f. wIedersheim Brings SUI
Against q Local Company.

Theodore e. wiedersheim, through his
attorney. E. B. Hay, filed suit in equity
this afternoon against the Washington
Chemical Company, Frank l. Attwell, sec
Rotary, and Thos. w. Stubblefield, treas
urer, asking for the appointment of a re-
csiver to take charge of the affairs of the
concern and that the treasurer be required
to make an accounting of such funds and
assets as are in his possession. and that
everything owned by the defendant COM
pany be turned over to the receiver to be
sold. The court Is also asked to restrain
the treasurer and secretary from receiving
any mail or money orders for the company
and that the receiver be authorized to ac-
cept and account for the same.
The complainant, Wiedersheim. Is a resi-
dent of Wayne, Pa, and brings the suit In
his own behalf as the owner of 6,667 shares
of stock in the defendant company. The
Washington Chemical Company Is a cor
poration existing under the laws of Vir-
ginia. The complainant came into posses
sion of his stock through a transfer from
Nathaniel Mckay. No dividend has been
declared upon the stock. although IT is al

of the Spanish officers is entirely proper:
that the United States Is a Christian coun-
try. and they quote what the Good Book
says about piling Goals Of fire on your en-
