The persistent rumors prevailing relative the
alleged mediation Of the United States between
Transvaal and England recall TO mind the violent
attacks which directed by the reactionary
press Of Continental Europe against Americans
because they did side with the Boer cause
But they recall also the more numerous expressions
Of admiration and approval for the wise attitude
OF the United States which published in the
liberal newspapers the other side OF the At
lantic. The latter. impeed by their community
OF republican sentiments with the American peo-
pie approved the and neutral policy adopted
Washington. and reasserted their confidence
hat al the proper moment Americans would not
fail to justly and impart!aiy toward the two
belligerents in South Africa. Thus. the Figaro"

To these attacks the principal Republican papers

Judge Addison Brown. in the bankruptcy part of
the United States District Court yesterday handed
down an important decision dismssing the petit
tion to have the Upper New-York City Water Com
pany and the New-York City District Water Supply
Company adjudged bankrupt He SAYS in part:
In my view the terms trading OF mercantile pl1r-
suit as used in Section of the Bankruptcy act
means trading in merchandise, or buying and sell
ing goods, those words would be ordinarily
understood and if such is the principal business Of
a corporation II is subject TO the Bankruptcy law

There are some circumstances that distinguish
these from that of the Westchester Water
Company, recently decided. but they do not seem

was the same in ALL viz, 10 carry or TRANSPORT
water in its natural and running condition by an
extensive system of mains ana pipes 10 its Gus
toners In fact. fOr two years prior TO the pefi-
tions the business Of these two Corporations was

pany- Their business practically merged in
that of the Westchester Water Company and n the
latter's business not within the act the sa me
