1t is a timely question whether. assuming
the assassination of King Hurnbert was
plotted in Paterson, there is any way of
bringing the perpetrators to justice either
in Italy or this country.
1t is clear they cannot be punished under
Italian law. This would necessitate their
extradition either by treaty or by courtesy,
neither of which can be done, for the rea-
son that conspirng to kill is not an extra
ditable offense in the treaty with Italy. and
the President has no authority to- surrender
a criminal as an act of courtesy.
OF course the assassin is always punished,
though 1t Is noteworthy that Bresci, like
the slayer of the Empress Elizabeth es-
capes the death penalty. But how about
the accomplices who hatch the plot and
send the eXecutioner on his infamous mis-
sion? These are not less guilty than the
principal or less dangerous to society. Yet
neither law justice seems to reach
them. and they go unpublished.
1t is in this direction that a remedy for
the evil and safeguard against the dan
ample. should enact statute making 1t a
heinous, If not capital, crime to plot the
assassination of any sovereign or ruler-a
statute which would reach and effectively
punish every accomplice in the killing of
the head of any foreign government. II
every nation will pass such law and
rigidly enforce it material progress will be
made toward the suppression of a danger
that menaces society as well as every gov
ernment.

It is to be hoped that the efforts to Sc
cure a federal statute providing interstate
watercourse inspection and penalizing Of
fenses against the laws of health along the
course of streams which are covered by
more than one Jurisdiction will not be al
lowed to flag. and that soon there will be
an ample remedy for these evils in the
form of a stiff statute. together with
the necessary means of enforcement. Mean

through whose land the water flows from

The extension of these wholesome princi-

There does not seem to be any occasion

of a provisional boundary line in Alaska,

The line now being traced by United

agreed upon as a modus vivend by the
Two governments. after the failure of the

case, no practical change is made
In the position of the miners on the

until the final delimitation of the perma-
nent boundary. whenever that may take
place, except that there will be no more

The Pollution of Rivers

Throughout the country there has been ,
decided awakening of public interest I'm
the matter of nver pollution, partly re-
SuitlnS from the rapid growth OF indus
titles which menace the streams and partly
in consequence Of an enlarged public appre-
clatlon of the danger from this cause. The
people of Washington have been concerned
OF late years lest the development of the
industries in the Cumberland region of
the Potomac watershed should cause the
pollution of the capitals drinking water.
During the past few years there have
oeen several efforts to prosecute in no.
torious cases of river pollution, and after
a bitter legal struggle one Of the offenders
agreed TO withdraw from the river side

1t is naturally gratifying to those who
| have SteadfaStly held faith in the authen-
ticty of the cipher dispatch received from
Minister Conger July 20 and believed to
have been prepared by him two days
earlier. to have the same corroborated now
by his message to Consul Ragsdale bearing
date of July u. All the finespun theories
to prove the first message unreliable have
been swept aside by this disclosure, for
which the way was well prepared by the
receipt of similar messages from the Ger
man. japanese and finally the British lega-
tions. There seems to be no disposition
now to charge that these dispatches have
been forged by the Chinese authorities.
They are not of a character to warrant the
assumption that they are old messages
withheld by the tsung Ii yamen and re-
leased now for diplomatic purposes. Their
authenticity is not to be questioned.
Minister Wu's contribution today to the
State Departments knowledge of the case
shows Ii Hung Chang and other influential

to secure the ministers from harm and to
have received assurances that they were
safe on the 10th.
Preparations for the international ad-
vance to Pekin seem at last to be under

The situation at Shanghai seems to have
grown somewhat threatening. judging from
the dispatch that the consuls have Joined

British navy to take command Of the de-
fenses there. This is evidently precau-
tionary measure. Such show of co-opera-
ton among the foreigners will doubtless
have a deterrent effect upon the Chinese
who may be disposed to organize a reac-
tionary movement at Shanghai.
Taken in general the situation seems to
ministers are in great peril of course. but
there is apparently no present disposition
on the part of the Chinese troops to attack
them again. and the government itself is
showing signs of gaining headway against
the insurgents. The need of a stern de-
mand by the powers for a complete res
tora ton of communication between the
ministers and their governments. for the
clearing of the way from Pekin to the
coast and for an accounting of the events
of the past two months Is undiminished by
