ARBITRATION THAT FAILED.
Decision I'm Violation of Every Prin-
ciEIe of English Law.

WASHINGTON. January 4.-The cause
of arbitration in the settlement of claims
between nations has received a severe
check in the award by the arbitrator in
the case OF Oberlander and Messenger,
who claimed $4,000 and $4,000. RESP ective-
ly, for ill-treatment by the Mexican au-
thorities.
The arbitrator was the Argentine Min
lister at Madrid. Senor Quesada, and his
decision was in favor of the Mexican
Government, and against the American
claimants.
The discouraging feature of the decision
is that in making the decision the arbi-
traitor apparently overlooked every point
OF law. according to the English stand
ards. and decided the case with reference
to his sympathies.
IT is said that a more extraordinary
opinion was never seen at the State De
partment. Oberlander was a deputy
sheriff Of California. and he was hid
mapped and taken across the border by
Mexican officials. Mr.. Messenger. in
whose house he had taken refuge. was
ill-treated. When it came to rendering
his decision, the arbitrator, IL is said, ig-
nored these facts. and reasoned that be-
cause the United States Government had
not ItCoRnlItu the ilsHNS vi the tHiht7e
Government TO indemnity for the killing
Of the Chinese at Rock Springs, Wyo.
while insisting upon indemnity for losses
sustained by American missionaries IN
China. we could not expect 10 have an
indemnity awarded our citizens in such
circumstances as these.
This peculiar lack Of legal perception is
said at the department to be almost With
out a parallel i'm the history Of arbitra-
tions, and has undoubtedly done much TO
prevent the submission OF other claims to
arbitration. unless il can first be known
that the arbitrator is familiar with the
principles OF common law, according to
the English standards.

tion In their pay will amount to about
$4,000 month.
