scorn to some friends he met in Paris. One

TWEEN these two ardent golfers. The doctor
discovered that his ball teed up in tempting
style for fine brassie shot, and, with the
the preliminary "waggles," and with su.

without uttering word. At length Jus.

OCEAN CABLES IN WAR TIME.
Talk of Establishing Their Neutral-
ity which Has Never Been
Acted Upon.

During the late war the Americans
cut the cable connecting Manila with
Hong Kong, and the French cable in
Cuban waters off the port of Caimanera.
This was at once denounced, by the
French press especially, as unwarrant-
ed by the law of nations. and as being a
positive violation of the rules of mod
ern warfare. The charge is absolutely
groundless. \ belligerent certainly
cannot be denied the right to prevent
his enemy from communicating with
the outside world. The suggestion has
been often made that ocean cables
should not be interfered with in time
of war, but should be neutralized by
agreement of the nations. President
Buchanan made such a suggestion as
early as 1883, when the first Atlantic
cable was laid. In his reply to Queen
Victoria's message of goodwill Mr..
buchanan said: ''NNill not all nations
of ChristendOm spontaneously unite in
the declaration that it (thc cable) shall
be forever neutral, and that its CON-
munications shall be held sacred in
passing to their places of destination.
even in the midst of hostilities?" But
this agreement. which Mr.. Buchanan
40 years ago supposed the nations
, would so spontaneously enter into,
does not yet exist.
The war with Spain is the first war,
so far as the writer is aware. in which
; belligerent has found it necessary to
cut an ocean cable. That the cables
were likely to be SO interfered with APP.
peared probable at the very outbreak OF
hostilities. Mr.. Balfour was questioned
on the subject in the British house OF
| commons as early as April 26, the day
after the United States declared war
He replied that he was not prepared tc
deny that belligerents, on the GROUND
of military exigencies, would be justi
fled in interfering with the cables. A
few days later, on May ., Dewey hat
cut the Manila cable.
The nations have convention for the
| protection of submarine cables, which
| was entered into in Paris in 1884, ant
| ratified and proclaimed in 1885. The
United States and Spain are among the
signatory powers. That convention
however, simply provides protection
| for cables in time of peace. In article
Is it is expressly stated that: ut is
understood that the stipulations of this
convention shall in no wise affect the
liberty of action of belligerents." Blu
it is interesting in this connection IL
| recall that in 1869 the United State.
proposed the neutrality of cables il
time of war. and called a conference t.
meet at Washington. But before thu
conference could be held the Franco
Prussian war occurred, and the meet
ing had to be abandoned. The italian
| government subsequently sounded tn
powers. and it wac found that it would
be impossible to secure their assent It
naturalization. In 1864 an attempt wa
made to lay an Atlantic cable. and a
that time France. Italy, Portugal an,
one or two other states actually entere,
into an agreement for it's protection il
war as well as peace. The effort to la
that cable failed; with the failure tn
treaty lapsed.-Forum.

AMERICANS IN JAPAN.
Their status VIII Hereafter He the
Same as that of japanese i'm
This Country.

Henceforth the status of Americans
in Japan will be precisely that of Jap
anese in the United States. Formerly
Americans domiciled in Japan who
committed offenses against inhabitants
of that country were tried in American
consular courts, and when guilty were
punished in accordance with American
law. japanese creditors had to go into
the consular courts to recover their just
claims against American citizens. The
civilized nations of Europe and America
have always insisted that their citizens
should not be amenable to the laws. es-
pecially the criminal laws. of semi
civilized Asiatic countries. whose Judi
c.al methods are painfully primitive
and whose punishments are barbarous.
Those countries have submitted to this
discrimination because they could not
help themselves. The Japanese have
made SO much progress in the arts of
civilization that these privileges of ex-
Internationally enjoyed by foreigners
became exceedingly offensive to them
They commended that their jurispru-
ence was patterned after that of Eu-
rope and that an American or Euro
pean could get as fair a trial in their
courts as before their respective con-
suls. Several foreign governments
looked into the matter, satisfied them
selves that there was reason to believe
these statements were correct. aid
agreed to waive these Objectionable
privileges. In return the entire in
terror OF Japan is opened to foreign
residents and trade. Americans can
go wherever they please and enjoy in
Japan all the rights and privileges
Japanese do in the United States. How
the new system will work remains to be
seen. Presumably the Japanese courts
will treat foreigners fairly. Should
they fail to do so then there will be an
immediate demand for return to the
old methods.-Chicago Tribune.
