BLUE BOOK ON CONCESSIONS STATES
IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES.

Washington. July S.-The position of the Brit
ish Government relative to the various mining
railroad and other concessions in the Transvaal
is fully disclosed in Blue Book covering this
subject which has just ached Washington
The subject is Of the very first Importance tc
the State and War departments as some of the
most troublesome and weighty problems now
confronting them arise from claims of various
concessionaires in the Philippines Porto Rico
and Cuba. Claims of vast amounts based on
telegraph and railroad franchises granted by
the Spanish Government before the Spanish
American War have been made and Great
Britains course may establish valuable prece-
dent. Moreover. the most important of the con-
cessions in the insular possessions of the United
States and in Cuba are claimed by English cor
poratiOns.
The issue made last September, when Sir
Alfred Miner. the British High Commissioner
promulgated the celebrated order % of 1900"
giving notice that the British Government re-
serves the right to decline to recognize or to
modify any concession made by the late South
African Republic without proper legal author
ity. contrary to law. or the conditions of
which have not been duly complied with. or
which appears TO affect prejudicially the inter
est of the republic"
This last clause was of the most sweeping
character. and the British Government appointed
a commission TO pass on the whole subject
This commission has made an exhaustive re-
port, which is given IN the Blue Book. 1t lays
down some important principles One interest
ing statement in the beginning is this
On September /. 1900, her late majesty an
neXed the territories and oblterated the

IL is clear that q State which has annexed an
other is not legally bound by any contracts
made by the state which has ceased to exist.
lF 1av has llY~fSf lf.af ion
force such contracts If the annexng State re-
fuses To recognize them.
The commission also asserts the right TO "ex-
anime whether the rights which il is asked to
recognize have in fact been duly acquired" a
point of interest in the Cuban abie controversy.
1t accepts Sir Alfred Miners most important
suggestion in the declaration that the gov
ernment is justified in cancelling modifying
a concession when the maintenance of the con-
cession is injurious to the public interest
The conclusions OF the commissioners nave not
