ing the truth Of the report that the In

THE NEW MINING LAW.

THE NEW MINING LAW.
The new mining law passed by the
last legislature it is claimed by Commis-
sioner of Mines Lee will be the means of
cutting down the death rate produced
by mining accidents. In looking over
the list of casualties in the state for sew
eral years past Mr.. Lee has discovered
that on an average forty deaths resulted
from the different forms of accidents
against which the new law guards.
Carrying no emergency clause, the law
will not become effective until July 10,
1899. Commissioner Lee has been re-
ceiving numerous communications rela-
tive to the new law and has concluded
to have the law printed in pamphlet
form, copies OF which will be obtainable
in short time by addressing him at
Denver.

In.oleuce In Nicaragua.

A dispatch from Bluefields. in our morn
ing edition. makes it apparent that the
Government needs to adopt more drastic
measures than it has. hitherto. to protect
American interests and citizens in the
coast district of Nicaragua.
The situation there is not a complicated
one. During the recent disturbances in
Bluefields American merchants. in COM
mon with those of other nationalities,
were compelled to pay customs duties 10
the party in actual power. Later, General
Torres, the governor holding under Presi-
dent Zelaya. has insisted that these duties
should be paid over again. 1t is settled
principle of international law that the
trader in a given place is responsible only
to the political government de facto. and
is not to be held liable for his submission
to the exactions OF one that may after
wards be declared or made illegal by a
supervening force majeure," whether
that force happens to be the former po-
litical regime of the state or a succeeding
one.
According to the news at hand. Ameri-
can merchants, although in the presence
of United States war vessel, have bean
advised to pay the demands Of Torres
under protest. This is not the kind of
advice that the circumstances seem to
justify or that We think Admiral Dewey
would offer il he were there. On the con-
trary we are inclined to believe that
Dewey. Clark, or any other of our fighting
naval men, would have given Torres about
one hour by the clock to get of his perch.
