COAL As CONTRABAND OF WAR.

1t Is already evident that. as might have
been expected. one embarrassment IN case OF
hostilites will be the presence OF many men
in Congress or In some official stations who
have no experience regarding international OBJ
legations or duties In time Of war. are not "a
miliar with the presidents applicable to such
questions, have not comprehended the radical
changes properly resulting from the modern
revolution in modes Of war and are prone TO
apply obsolete experience rather than the funda-
mental principles which give to precedents what
ever value they have. A decision announced
by the Government OF Great Britain not to
allow its coaling ports to be used by hostile
vessels serves to call attention to the change
which modern modes Of warfare have made in
the obligations Of neutral Powers with respect
to coal In the ancient days, when most Of the
presidents usually cited on such questions were
established, fuel was not necessary part OF
the equipment Of fighting ship.
The act of Great Britain. while eminently
fair and even friendly to the United States In
its effect, Is In accordance with principles which
that Power has long recognized. The equip
ment of a hostile vessel in n neutral port. SO
that II may be prepared TO destroy the CON-
merce or the seaboard town Of a friendly ma
tion, has been distinctly recognized as viola
ton OF neutral obligations. No other Power
has 10 clearly realized that In modern times
this principle renders the supply OF coal to war
vessels a violation Of neutral obligations. and
vet Great Britain has not always been able to
apply and enforce the principle. The supply
of Confederate cruisers during the Rebellion by
British subjects for their private gain was an
unfriendly act which British authorities recog-
nized their duty to prohibit though they were
not in all cases efficient enough. The sales TO
French vessels called out a protest from Ger
many during the war between those Powers
which was not wholly effective. The decision
nv the Geneva tribunal In 1872 Is cited as max
ing a distinct step toward wider and more ef-
fectIve application Of the principle. and yet 1t
II less clear and less In harmony with the prin-
ciple than the rule which the British Govern
ment now Announces Substantially the old
English rule laid down as far back as In their
Regulations Of January 1, 1852.
The question Is not, as many suppose whether
coal Is contraband Of war. If shipped to either
bellgerent and seized by the other the con-
domination Of the supply as contraband would
be upheld. But the sale by private citizens Of
q neutral country to armed ships Of either bel
ugerent has been held by our own Government
not violation Of neutral obligations. on the
ground that either belligerent could purchase
with equal freedom. Possibly our own ex-
perience may bring home to the minds of our
people the fact that neutrality can be in the
most important sense violated by the free ex-
tension Of facilities for purchase to both bel
liGerents, when they are Of no use whatever TO
eqs Of them. but to the other are absolutely

THE NATIONS EUROPEAN RESERVES

The official report OF foreign commerce for
March Is surprising. Two weeks ago II was
shown that the excess Of merchandise exports
over imports would probably exceed $4,000
600, but 1t was $5l,3l0426 and the difference
Is due to a really extraordinary state Of things.
The domestic exports from NcwYork had
shown an increase OF about $4,000. 600. and in
cotton from other points there had been an
increase OF about Sl0.O00OOO but instead OF
gaining $1GOOO,OOO the exports increased S25.-
535,615 The imports officially reported by
weeks at New-York had fallen short OF
last year about s3OOOOOO, but full returns
show a decrease in imports OF SIi, Si4 .0O7 I'm
all, and for the exact month at Ncw-York there
was a decrease Of S5,6OO,OOO. AT all ports other
than New-York imports singularly declined
from 29,5OO,OOO last year to S2O,3OO.OOO. or
more than a third. whereas ut this city the de-
crease was only about an eighth.
The heavy outgo from other ports was In
part due to Pacific grain shipments. which APP
pear to have been 1851 500 bushels Of wheat
alone, against 2S2 ,462 last year. and the differ
ence in value 81 74G.766. against S23629l ac-
counts for about third OF the unexpected in
crease In total exports. The Increase OF more
than so per cent in value OF cotton exported,
comparing with the same month last year, was
more than had been generally anticipated.
though well indicated by the weekly trade re-
ports. But the increase Of more than $1,000
600 In exports of provisions or over 80 per
cent, was not expected, and there were evil
IDENTIFY unexpected exports Of some other prod
ucts, possibly due to the prospect Of war. 1t
Is also possible that the great decrease In I'M
ports at other ports than New-York was in
part owing to a desire to use the shortest and
quickest routes In order to avoid the risk Of
having the goods long at sea- This suggests
the question whether In the event Of hostilties,
there may not be n continuing tendency to ship
by the fast ocean liners to this point rather
than to other ports by cheaper but less ex-
pedltious conveyance.
With March there have now been six months
out Of eight months under the new tariff IN
which the value Of domestic products export
ed has exceeded $1OO.0OO.OOO. Had February
been . month of thirty days its exports also

TIE DEGRADATION or BASEBALL.

At the close of the last season professional
baseball had so far degenerated into game by
backguards for blackguards that managers
who possessed any sense, however destitute
they might he OF higher qualities, perceived
that something must be done 10 put II back on
n respectable plane Much effort was accord
inclv expended during the last winter In draft
ing and adopting regulations for the suppress
sion Of rufilanism, and it was hoped that UNI
pircs would be efIcctually supported by man
ayers and. If necessary. by the police In the
exercise of the large authority given to them
by the new rules TO discipline offending players
and restrain disorderly spectators. But so far.
at least as New-York is concerned this ex-
pcctntion Is not going TO he fulfilled II the dis
play OF brutality At the opening game with
Boston last Saturday Is fair test OF the inten-
lions OF the New-Nork management and the
temper Of the baseball public OF this city.

VOW FOR INTERVENTION.

There can be no mistakng the meaning OF
last nights action in Congress. 1t means busi-
ness. 1t means the execution or the plans OUT
lined In the Presidents message. II means IN
brief. prompt Intervention by the United STATES
between Spain and Cuba for the restoration or
peacc in that island and the establishment or
n permanent government there that VIII pre-
serve the peace and administer justice. That
s what now lies Immediately before us. In
what manner it is TO be accomplished Is largely
for Spain to say. II she will listen to the voice
Of reason and look to her own truest welfare
she will withdraw from the island quietly and
peaceably, and war will probably be avoided
If she fatuously persists in holding on until
expelled by force. there Will have TO be war.
For this IS certain. that. having once put It's
hand 70 the plough. this Nation will not look
back until its task is done. Intervention Is the
order Of the day: peaceful. II possible: forcible.
II necessary: but. in any event. intervention
There IS little cause for regret at the delay
of a week In Congressional action. The tempo
rary lack OF harmony in the Nations councils
will be forgotten in day. now that 1t Is past
and all departments OF the Government are
fully united and in full accord with the dom
inant sentiment Of the people. And that Is now
the case. The resolutions adopted may not be
the best that human wisdom could have de-
vised. and they may not altogether please every
body. They will serve the purpose for which
they were designed however, without bringing
any needless embarrassments upon the Govern
ment. and now that they are at last enacted
they will be accepted and supported Loyalty by
all the people as an essential and highly I'm
portant part Of the law Of the land. Mr.. Davis
in the Senate and Mr. Reed and Mr.. Dingley
in the House are entitled to the grateful re-
membranes Of the Nation for the services they
have rendered In restraining rash judgments
and IN shaping Congressional action into the
best practicable form. AS for the President. to
him belongs the chief credit for bravely and
wisely marking out the way In advance. and
amid not little opposition. To him are due
concentrations on the triumph Of his policy in
Congress And to him must now be given the
unwavering confidence and support Of every
lover of his country in the arduous task which
lies before him.
week and a day ago the President said to
Congress: '"Prepared to execute every obliga-
"tion imposed upon me by the Constitution and
"the law, I await your action" That action
has now been taken. It lays upon the Presi-
dent a tremendous responsibility But we can
not doubt that he Is prepared to bear It and TO
welfare Of humanity and to the honor Of this
Nation.
