TRAFFIC IN Guns.

The somewhat thrsadbare subject of
traffic in arms in time of war. has
lately been revived, and the usual con-
fusion has been shown in its discus
sion. States and government must not
engage in such business, but there is
no prohibition upon the commerce of
individual citizens. They may sell
arms, ammunition and other materials
Of war to either of the belligerents.
subject only to the pain Of capture and
conhscation. No other penalty is at
tached to the traffic This is wholly
outside the convention which forbids
the fitting out of armed expeditions
and the replenishing Of war stores Of
belligerent vessels in neutral ports. In
case the traffic of contraband on the
part of subjects of a neutral power as
sumes large dimensions, the aggrieved
belligerent may make representations
of remonstrance, out there can he
no redress save in the friendly and
accommodating disposition of the gov
eminent of the neutral power Prof.
Lawrence says Of this subject:
Neutral merchants NAV trade in
arms, ammunition and stores in time
OF war, as we'll as in time of peace.
Ihus conflict of rights arises: and it
IS the task of International law to
make some compromise between the
admitted claims of belhgerents on the
one hand and neutrals on the other.
This it does by allowing the subjects
OF neutral states to carry contraband
to either belligerent, but insisting that
they shall do so at their own risk.
Ihelr government is not bound to re-
strain them from trading in the for
bldden goods. neither has it any right
10 interfere on their behalf if the ar
tlcies in question are captured by one
belllgerent on their way to the other"
This point of law is SO old that

state in Washington's administration.
was enabled to use it as an effective
answer to Great Britain's complaint in
1893, during the war with France. 1t
proved equally applicable and conclu-
sive in 1872, when the United States I'M
dertook to hold England responsible
for arms and supplies sold to the south
ern confederacy. The Geneva conven-
ton dismissed the claim.

OUT AND ABOUT.

Fraulein Won Voights German talk
on johanna Ambrosius" at the house
OF Mrs. lockwood Hoar yesterday af-
ternoon, was very enjoyable occas-
ion to the so or more ladies who at
tended Miss Won Voightsdelighted her
hearers with the purity of her Ger
man, her clear enunciation. easy de-
livery, and sympathetic Interpretation
OF the peasant poets life and literary
work. She began by sketching her home
IN east Prussia, her brief schooling
her brightness and winsomeness as a
chlld, and her hard lot as a laborer
IN held and stable. Her attempts af-
ter freedom by going out to service.
her return home and marriage at the
age Of 20 to good, dull peasant, and
her struggle with poverty, were de-
scrlbed. Johanna Ambrosius has found
IN poetry partial deliverance from
her hardships. Miss von Voight quoted
Prof. kuno Francke 10 the effect that
through her there has arisen a new
voice in the struggle for the emanci-
patton Of the German woman, and that
what makes her so inspiring a figure
in the woman movement is the fact
that her own sufferings, instead of en-
differing her have opened her heart
to all her fellow sufferers and made
her leader in the universal struggle
for fuller humanity.
Since 1896 when the world first heard
of her, said Miss Won Weight. twenty
six editions of her poems have been
published, and she Is now being read
in four or five languages. The en-
press of Germany now gives her
yearly pension, and as her health
which was broken down by privation
and toll, has been greatly benefited by
visits to the baths, and her son and
daughter, for whom she shaved and
who were in turn her inspiration, have
grown up to enjoy every educational
advantage as well as the popularity
and hOnors so profusely shoWered on
their mother, Johanna Ambrosius may
BE- counted not unfortunate. During
her talk Miss Won |oight read ten of
the German poets poems.

parted Leader.

in which she advised the young people

Mrs. A. 3. Shaw and Mrs Emma
Ware sang a duet called Marching
Orders" after which Mrs. NJ NJ. Town
send read an article on Miss Willard

Wizards works, and Mrs Barrows read
poem written by the leader
At this time there was exhibited an
autograph letter from Miss Willard to
Mrs. E. NJ. Keith. expressing her pleas
ure at the work being done among the
railroads.
Mrs. A. +. Russell stated that Lead
Kindly Light" was Miss Wizards IA
vorite hymn, that she thought Glad
stone the greatest living man, and
gave as her motto Keep pounding on
the nail" Her views on cremation
were then read, and Mrs Drayton
made short address upon her hered-
itary qualities and her legal and Judi
cial mind.
Mrs. A. w. Harrington of Leicester.
county president, made a forcble adj
dress and told Of Miss Willard as n
child. Mrs. s. a, Henshaw, president

The joint high commission has so
often settled" the treaty that is to
end forever all pickering between the
United States and Canada. and then
has so often discovered new obstacles to
settlement, that the latest announce
ment may be received with incredulity
Yet it appears that not only an agree
ment concerning the fisheries has been
arrived at, but even the question of
the Alaska boundary is all but decided.
If the reports are true, the United
States has no cause to complain. The
line, as drawn, brings Chukoot and
White Pass within American territory,
and leaves the Canadians to hustle for
a seaport or some sort of customs
privileges for entering the klondike
gold fields by way of Lynn canal.
The death of President Faure seems
particularly regrettable in view of the
present status of French politics. NJ.
Faure was not a great man or a great
statesman, but he was tactful, moder
ate, conservative and safe. Moreover,
he had rare facility for concilia-
ton, and in the present chaotic condi-
ton of politics, the ability to conciliate
and harmonize discordant elements is
essential for the support CT govern
ment. He had won popular confidence
to marked degree, and this was an
other point of much strength. His de-
mise affords a favorable opportunity
for dangerous intrigue. The political
power Of president of the French
republic is by no means so large as
that of an American president, but
though the principal direction of af-
fairs is in the hands of the ministry,
the French president is far frcm be-
ing a mere figurehead His successor,
to be chosen by the two houses of the
national assembly sitting jointly, can
not be predicted
