The Board of Health has shown COM
mendable firmness in the matter of
quarantine, and the port physician is
also to be commended for his careful
investigation in the death of the Chi
naman who was a victim of bubonic
plague. There have been cases in the
past where the diagnosis of the ships
surgeon has been regarded as final, and
had such procedure been followed out
in the case of the Nippon Maru she
would have come up to the wharf, land
ed her freight, and perhaps left germs
of plague that would have swept away
hundreds in this city, even if 1t could
have been kept from getting to the 9TH
er Islands. 1t is hard to realize how
great a danger is which has been es-
capped, but we may feel satisfied with
our authorities for their care shown in
protecting us from an impending i'll. AS
was said yesterday, the responsibility
of the Board of Health is very great,
upon the care of the officers depend
hundreds of lives, and immense COM
mercial interests. For once the black
plague got foothold here, and bust
ness would come to stand still Con-
slant vigilance should be the watch
word of the board. Laxity in auaraa-
! tine matters is criminal.

learning i'm international law by a
majority of the members of the high
est court at the time existing in each Of
the states entering into the plan; one
representative to from each sover-
eign state participating in the treaty"
The tribunal, so constituted, shall
meet for organization at a time and
place to be agreed on by the several
governments, but not later than six
months after signature of the treaty.
The tribunal is to be permanent and to
be always open to filing cases. When a
case is submitted it must be accompani-
ed by an understanding to accept the
award. The bench of judges will con-
sist of as many as may be agreed upon
by the litigating nations, either the
full bench, or a smaller number, not
less than three, but in the last case,
viz three judges, no citizen or native
subject of either litigating state is ELI
gible.
The powers agreeing will bear equt-
able shares in tn expense, but the ex-
pense arising from particular cases will
be borne as the tribunal shall direct.
The treaty upon which this tribunal is
based, is to become operative when
nine sovereign states, four of which at
least shall have been signatories of the
Declaration of Paris, shall have an
nounced their adhesion thereto.
The Declal alton of Paris was signed
by European powers, but not by the
United States, in March, 1856. The pro-
visions were: 1-Privateering abolished.
2-Neutral flags to exempt an enemy's
goods from capture, except contraband
of war. 3-Neutral goods under an en-
emys flag not to be seized. 4--Blockade
to be binding must be effective. Among
the signatories in 1856 were the King
doms of Prussia and Sardinia. Accord
ing the the American plan, the Empire
of Germany and the Kingdom of italy
are to be regarded as their successors.
The plan has commended itself as the
most practical of any that has been pre-
scented. 1t is simple, is bound to provide
the best trained legal minds of all coun-
tries for the work, and will keep togeIh-
er a tribunal composed of men whose
sole aim in life is to view impartially
the most momentous questions between
states. Once created, a seat on that trib-
unal will be the highest earthly honor q
man can attain to. 1t is indeed tri-
umph to American erudition and it's
high plane of thought, when such plan
as this can be evolved and acquiesced in
by the weightiest representatives of the
Christian world.

The "squatter" affair on Hawaii may
prove very bothersome thing to the
present Government. Things, while we
have been in the present transition
state, have up to the present, gone quite
smoothly, because people have, as a
rule, been willing to accept the situa-
ton as it stands. But the moment a
move like this is made, the anomaly of
our position is made patent. We are a
part of the United States and we are
not. 1t is presumable that nothing will
clearly define our position for the next
few months and those whose mission
on earth is to make trouble, will have
an ample opportunity for laying a
pleasant crop of grievances to be eluci-
dated later.

The United States is winning as bril-

has done by her arms. Whatever the
outcome of the Peace conference may
be- the representatives of the United

and most clear headed of the delegates
to the conference, and have stamped
themselves as the best read upon inter
national law and it's practical applica-
ton.
