my's warships, because, whether war
is preceded by formal declaration or
precipitated by actual hostilities (mod-
ern authorities agree that war may be-
gin without formal declaration), the
coming trouble always is apparent
enough for days, and valuable war
ships are not carelessly left in enc
mics ports. There are, however, two
interesting cases; one happened long
ago in the harbor of Havana and the
other happened, or rather didn't hap
pen, in the East river New York city.
In 1746 Spain and England were at war.
A furious storm caught the English
man-o'-war Elizabeth and tossed her
about so that she was in a sinking
condition. Her captain, realizing that
he must make port at once or founder,
ran into Havana and signalled that he
would surrender. The Spanish COM
mandant, on learning that he had been
driven in through stress OF weather,
declined to take the vessel, gave the
captain aid to refit her and finally fur
nished him with safe conduct to the
Bermudas. This" remarks an old
English authority, seems to us neither
law nor war, but overstrained cour-
tesy."
Former Trouble with Spain.
During this country's troubles with
Spain over the famous Virginius affair
a Spanish warship was in dock in the
navy yard in Brooklyn. A declaration
of war was expected daily, and the
Spaniards were preparing to go out
when a coal barge was sunk accident
ally, of coarse) directly in front OF
where the ship lay. This story Will be
forever like THE Lady or the Tiger"
War was not declared, but the Spanish
officers were in a mighty pickle for
several days. The United States didn't
have many warships then, and the
Spaniards would have made an inter
esting addition to the navy.
So, technically, should war be de-
clared while the Infanta Maria Teresa
and the Vizcaya are in the harbor,
they might nave to forget to walk
Spanish and learn the American lope.
But, practically, as they had come on

if they would. They would want no
thing except to get away. The really
interesting question is, would the
United States be justified in Selling
them? International law, even IL it
covered the point, differs from nation
al and municipal laws. in that many Of
its provisions are not enforceable by
anybody. 1t consists largely of ad-
mirable and eminently polite PROPOSE
tions, and is decidedly ethical and the
oretical as far as many large opera
lions of war are concerned. Long ago
the United States Supreme court laid
down the rule that this country con-
sidered 1t as its right to seize proper
ty within its territory belonging to the
subjects of an enemy. But at the same
time the United States declined, with
out yielding that right, to take certain
private property from Englishmen in
the war of 1912. In the Crimean and
-Prussian wars both sides
granted from four to six weeks to the
merchant vessels of the belligerent ma
tions to clear and reach home ports.

several occasions has seized an enc

A GREAT TIDE OF PROSPERITY.
Canadian Loan Companies Getting Money
on Mortgages That Had Been
Written on.
Written on.

Probably in the history OF the con-
tinent there never was such a tide of
prosperity enjoyed by any country as
the Dominion of Canada is being IA
vored with. That portion of Canada
known as Western Canada is attract
ing thousands of people, who are seek
ing homes on the arabic lands Of that
new but rapidly developing country.
Possessed of exceptionally good rail-
road privileges, the best school sys-
tenn in the world, churches in every
small settlement, while in the towns
and cities all denominations are rep
resented, and with markets in close
proximity TO the grain fields, most OF
the requirements for comfortable ex-
istence are met. The development
that is now taking place in the min
ing districts gives an impulse to agri-
culture, and good prices, with good
crops, bring about a state OF affairs
that the crowded districts of more
populous centers are taking advan-
tage OF. The Associated Press dis
patches a few days since had the fol-
lowing telegram:
Toronto, Feb. 4.-(Special)-Loan
companies that made advances on
Manitoba property years ago report
that the returns from the west during
the past three months have exceeded
expectations. One company has taken
from Manitoba over $4,000 interest,
and discharged mortgages, many of
which had been written off year ago.
Directors Of leading loan companies
are taking a greater interest in bust
ness Of their institutions, and are in
curing into many properties on which
advances have been made.
The climate in the western provinces
of Manitoba, Alberta, Assiniboia and
Saskatchewan is excellent, there be-
ing no healthier anywhere. The Can
adam government is now offering spe-
cial inducements for the encourage
ment Of settlers, and they have their
agents at work throughout the United
States for the purpose of giving in
formation and distributing literature.
Among those going to Canada are
many ex-Canadians, who have failed
to make as good a living as they ex-
pected in the United States.

Hon. David Bartlett's boom for
governor is tagging because he
has no popular fad to put before
the people. Mr.. Bartlett is not
a man of fads, but is a person of
common sense, devoid of fads
but eminently fitted for the high
office for which he has been
mentioned. He stands before
the people as a plain, upright,
conscientious citizen, whose chief
aim in whatever position he is
placed. is to do his duty. If he
