ligerents differ from the ordinary at
taches in not having any diplomatic
character. Their duties are restricted
10 the observation of the military opera
tons, in which they may take no part.
They are not belligerents, so If capt
ured are not prisoners Of war; they
may, however, be detained by the bel
ligerents into whose hands they have
fallen until they deem it proper to allow
them TO return to their original posts.
During our Civil War, British military
observers accompanied both armies;
Gen. SHERIDAN accompanied the Ger
man Army in 1901; there were several
such attaches with Gen. SKATERS
army of invasion during the Spanish
war, and many others followed both
the British and the Boer armies at the
beginning Of the wal in South Africa.
We have now military attaches at the
legations to these countries: Austria
Hungary, China and Corea, Denmark
and Sweden and Norway, Germany,
Great Britain, Japan. Holland, Russia,
and Switzerland; and naval attaches
in Austria Hungary, China and Japan,
France and Russia, Germany and Italy,
and Great Britain. They are doing
their duty without mourning the dis
like of the Governments to which they
are accredited, and helping to maintain
the Intelligence Departments of their
respective services in a high state of
efficiency.

are too large to catch small fish they are
small enough 10 capture thousands
and thousands Of eels.' Now, the little
fish that a get in and out OF a hole
through which an eel cannot wriggle
must be a very small creature indeed, too
small for serious consideration. But the
capture Of the cells, says this deep-water
observer, " means the saving Of millions
OF fish spawn. Each fish is supposed
to spawn 10000 eggs ut one time, and
one large eel car destroy the spawn OF
ten fish in a day Bad enough! Evil
IDENTIFY eels are egg fends of a very
voracious type.
But what about the pound nets in the
months Of April, May and June, when
the game fish are on the route TO their
spawning grounds? How many mil
lions of eggs do they scoop in at one
lift? The sight OF the figures would be
enough to make the poor eels blush and
hide their heads in the mud .or shame.
The dealers should endeavor to save
themselves from their friends. The
wasteful character of pound nets has
been exposed over and over again in
THE Sun. The testimony against them
Is clear and conclusive. They should be
abolished, or, at least, should be restricted
and kept within reasonable limits.

An interesting dog case is now attract
ing public attention 10 Oswego in this
| State, where Gen. ISAAC :. CATLIN of
Brooklyn has sued a son Of Gen. BENJA-
Nh r. TRACY, the distinguished lawyer,
for 81 900 damages because the younger
TRACY killed CATLN'sdOg. IL seemst that
Gen. CATLIN owned Il st. Bernard dog
VIII ich attacked TRACY's pointer or

81. Bernard in order To save the life of
his own animal.
There are many cases holding that Il

a human being; ard it is we'll settled
hat a man is responsible in damages
for personal injuries caused by his dog,
il the dog is a previous offender, or is
known by his owner to be b~ad-tempercd
or dangerous. Moreover, the Court Of
Appeals has decided that u dog is per-
sonal property, and that the stealing Of
a dog is larceny. While il il true that
at common law the crime of larceny
could not be committed by felOniously
taking and carrying away a dog, yet
dogs were SO far regarded ~ property,
that an action Of trover could be brought
for their conversion. and they passed as
assets to the executor or administrator
of the deceased owner.
Judge EARL, in writing ia" opinion Of

The Liquor Law.

The discussion Of the law against
selling liquor on Sunday presents a
now phase almost as remarkable rs the
direct support of the policy Of avowed
notification Of it, which seems to have
passed. The one 10 succeed it differs
only in degree.
The friends of liberal %interpreta-
ton 81 of the sunday law, or " tolera-
ton of the Sunday liquor traffic. put
at the head of their arguments a quo
tation from DR.. ~PARRHURsT that the
law is " uncomfortable" and from Dis
trict Attorney JEROME TO the effect that
convictions for violations of it in Com
missioner R~oosEvELT's time were next
TO nothing
We fail to see that impossibility of en-
forcing the law justifies Abandonment
OF the effort that cannot fail tn enforce
IL TO a great extent, or that the small
number of convictions is a good reason
for not maintaining the restraining force
of activity on the part of the police.
But these observations of DR.. PARK
HURsT's and Mr.. JERoME's apply to n
state of affairs in the past, and do not
apply to the present. so far a. w have
any experience in the matter. To-day
under the law there are provided more
than 1000 places in Sew York city whore
liquor can be obtained easily on Sunday.
Since the passage of the Raines law,
which created this situation. there never
has been in New York an attempt to
enforce the SUNDAY LIQUOR law.

oeption." OF which the great example Is In
the Louvre. The religious expression In
Murillo's pictures n not Of the deep or
elevated sort; rather is 1t tender and almost
deprecating in its tenderness, ana TINS
delicate refinement OF feeling Is present
in this picture. The Virgin IL not beautiful
and yet there is a beauty Of tender yearnlng
and girlish modesty in the expression that
Is very captivating. The same sweet choice
ness Of feeling reappears In the charming
little angel forms that are grouped around
her feet.
The exhibition will be open until middle
day on Thursday and, both for its variety
and for the high quality OF the pictures
will well repay a visit.

II ought not TO be necessary for Mrs.

vent the use of her husbands name for a

The hotel promoters probably selected IL
with an eye TO the advertisement that it
would give them in Mr.. MCKINLgY's own

of our late President name might be

The great publicity given to the ~investi-
CATION by the Coroner into the causes Of
the death Of those who persisted in
tho recent deplorable accident in the Park
Avenue tunnel affords an illustration Of the
evpensiveness, uselessness and utter ri
diculousncss Of the functions Of tho Cor
oner's Office in this city as at present con-
stituted. The Grand Jury of the county
will proceed with its investigation of the
affair the same as If the C~oroner's jury had
never bothered itself with the matter. or
what Use is a Coroner's jury. anyway?
The Coroner's Office in this city costs
the city about 500. 900 a year, exclusive of
extraordinary expenses, such a. fees Of
chemists and other experts. II IL and al
ways has been the custom of the police

In cities 81 the first class, and Ia many

WASHINGTON, Marces 2s.--A bare pos

tion Of Cuban reciprofty will be trans

are that the reciprocity convention intro
