WILL NOT BE RELEASED.
Americans Captured with the Beers VIII
Be Held Till the War Is over.

htiu III lnt war Is ONtTs
WAsHISGToN, July 7.-Americans
fighting in the Boer armies and made
prisoners by the British will have to
endure their captivity until the close
of the South African war.
Great Britain has declined to COM
ply with the request of this govern
ment to release an American now con-
fined on the island of Ceylon, and this
declination will probably prove bar
to further representations by the state
department in behalf Of Americans
captured as belligerents in South
Africa. The test case was that Of a
naturalized American named Morgan,
who claims residence in Virginia.
Sir Alfred Miner, the British high
commissioner in South Africa, disap-
proves of the release of foreigners who
fought with the Beers. He has an
nounced that a person who serves as
belligerent with the Boer forces
loses his nationality and must be
treated as an enemy. This view is
concurred in by the legal officers Of
the state department.
The department is satisfied, from in
vestigation made by American con-
suls and the British authorities, that
all reports that the British are ill.
treating their prisoners are without
foundation. The only hardship that
Americans captured in South Africa
will have to undergo will be that Of
confinement until hostilities cease.
In order to secure prompt settle
ment of claims filed by American Citi-
gems for personal and property damages
sustained in South Africa, as a result
OF the actions of the British troops,
the state department has officially re-
quested all claimants to submit memoir
ials setting forth the facts in connec-
tion with their claims, which will be
transmitted through Ambassador
Choate, to the British claims commits
sion, now sitting in London.
The department is in receipt of com.
plants from numerous persons, claim
ing American nationality, which are
the basis of claims, but the records are
not complete and in many cases the
citizenship OF the claimants is not es-
tablished. The claims, which submit
estimates of the damage suffered,
amount to several hundred thousand
dollars. The department does not see
how it will be possible to secure a
settlement of claims arising out of
damages following upon acts of the
Boer government, as that government
has ceased to exist. In the case of
claims to mining rights, it is possible
that the British government may allow
claimants the privilege of recourse to
the civil courts when they shall have
been established.

CASE OF EARL RUSSELL.

MAY TEND TO DIGNITY THE JURY SYSTEM.
Lain In Allegiance for Nearly siH-
~ Years May Prove an Eye-Open-
err to the Twentieth Century Brit
OnH.

New York, July 6.-The London cor
respondent of the Tribune. writing of
the Russell case, says
The case of Earl Russell, involving
the trial Of peer by the house of
lords after the suspension of func-
tions of this kind for so years, may
offer an object lesson in the form of
a majority verdict, which will tend
to dignity the traditional rights and
dignities of twelve ordinary men in
the box. New presidents may be
created by a fresh committee en-
powered to examine the journals of
the house of lords.
The Essential Facts.
The essential facts will be that
radical peer will be exposed to a ma
jority verdict from a house repre-
sentng the old toryism of the priv
eleged classes, and that any member
answering the roll cali of the lord
high steward will be both an unan-
swered iuryman respecting Issues ot
fact and n judge regarding complex
questions of divorce law in England
and in America. The results of so
remarkable an experiment in crimi-
nal procedure can rot be safely fore
cast. An abandonment, or at least,
reconstruction of the antiquatcd
procedure of trial by privileged jury
would seem more likely than the sub
stitution of a majority for a unani-
nous verdict in ordinary criminal
practice.
The Nevada Divorce.
The Nevada judge who granted the
divorce decree to Earl Russell has, in
deed been instrumental in raising a
series of questions of exceptional in
terest. This is the first issue of the
validity of the divorce under the
laws of Nevada and the decisions of
the United States supreme court.
There is a fundamental question of
the power of any foreign tribunal to
release an Englishman from the obli-
cations Of marriage contracted in his
own country, and to enable him to re-
turn to England with another wife.
There is the issue of privilege, with
the anomalous procedure of trial by
the house of lords whene there is n
charge of felony against a peer, and
this is the traditional inheritance of
social conditions which have been
transformed by the normal develop
mcnt of political institutions.
A PandOra's BOX Opened.
The Nevada judge has opened
pandora's box for the confusion of the
privileged order, and for the be-
wilderment of hair-splitting lawyers.
The best consolation which the stern
moralst can find is the hope that the
Russell case may lead to the enact
ment of uniform divorce laws in the
states of the American union, and
may open the way for a closer APP
proach between England and America
in legislation for the defense OF the
sanctity Of marriage.

CLAIMS AGAINST "UNCLE SAM

iSy Great BrltHin VIII NOT be Settleu 10y
One-Sided Arbitration.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Consent to the
arbitration of British claims against
the United States will not be given
by this government until Great Britain
agrees to the arbitration of American
claims pending against her.
This is the decision of the state de-
partment upon a request of Great
Britain that certain claims arising
out of the expulsion of British sub
jects from Hawaii during the royalist
troubles in those islands be referred to
arbitration.
This government is not, of course,
opposed to the principle of arbitration.
Great Britain has, however, consistent
ly declined to arbitrate claims pre-
scented by this government, including
the Fiji claims, which have greater
merit than those which resulted from
the conditions in Hawaii. American
claims amount to several hundred
thousand dollars, while those submit
ted by Great Britain have a much
smaller aggregate.
The department is anxious to clear
up all the claims pending between the
two governments, and if Great Britain
will agee to arbitrate the American
claims the United States will undoubt'
eddy be willing to adopt this course
with respect to British claims.
