SULTAN OF JOHORE.
He May Come to America-is not Re-
sponsible for Debt.

New York Tribune-As the sultan
of Johore, sovereign of large king
dom to the north of Singapore, subject
is to pay a visit to this country, after
leaving Australia, it may be well to
draw attention to the fact that he can
not be sued or prosecuted in any Amer
lean courts, from the jurisdiction of
which he will be just as much exempt
while in this country as any of the
foreign ambassadors at Washington.
Attention has been called to this pre-
rogative enjoyed by foreign sovereigns
when they travel abroad by the fail
ure of suit brought by a Melbourne
artist against the sultan for payment
for an illuminated pedigree of one Of
the sultan's race horses, which he had
been commissioned to paint. The
Australian courts informed the I'M
fortunate artist that they could do
nothing for him, since a foreign
ruler, even when on British soil, could
not be sued in British courts. and
added that they could suggest no legal
course by which he could recover the
money due him. The failure of this
suit serves to recall the fact that the
sultans father had breach of promise
proceedings brought against him
while staying in England, in the Eng
lish courts. In this instance matters
were complicated by the fact that the
old sultan, who was light COM
plexioned, had wooed and won the fair
plaintiff, not as sultan, but under the
name of albert Baker" Indeed. it
was not until the matter was brought
into court that the identity of the sui
tan of Johore was made known. AS
soon as this was established the case
was thrown out of court on the ground
that British courts had no jurisdiction
over a foreign sovereign, no matter
whether he was living incognito as
private citizen, or under his own name
and title, surrounded by royal pomp.
There was a scandal about the matter,
and the British government intimated
to the sultan that it would be well for
him TO return to his dominions. which
he was about to do when he died.
