PROF. MOORE ON SEIZURES.
America Should Not Admit Food to Be
Contrabrand Of War.


A dispatch from New York last night
says:
John Bassett Moore. professor Of inter-
national law at Columbia University. and
formerly assistant secretary OF state in dis
cussing the question Of seizures of vessels
and cargoes by Russian warships. MAIN
tanned that the right Of search was well
recognized by all nations. but held that the
United States ought never to admit the
contention that provisions or raw cotton
are contraband of war. He declined to
pronounce an opinion as to the status
of the Russian volunteer cruisers that have
sailed through the Dardanelles.
THE mere fact that goods are bound for
the port Of a be1tgerent." he said, does
not make them contraband. and foodstuffs.
unless destined for the use of the govern
ment. are not contraband. 1t must be
proved that they are for the use Of the
army or navy. That Is our position. and
always has been our position. OF course.
1t Is true that anything on the way to q
country may be used In any way. but that
argument is not sufficient to make 1t con-
trabard.
Think Of the position this country would
be In. with its great agricultural terri
tory. IL our products were made contra
band because, forsooth, some provisions
igerent. We have contested even the
question of the right of presumption that
has been claimed by some governments.
England held the same view during the
BOer war. In the course of the corre-
spondence arising out of her seizure of
American goods on their way to Delagoa
bay Lord Salisbury thus defined the posi-
ton of her majestys government on the
question of contraband:
'Foodstuffs, with hostile destination.
can be considered contraband OF war only
II they are supplied for the enemy's forces.
1t Is not sufficient that they are capable
Of being so used; II must be shown that
this was in fact their destination at the
time of seizure"

An Exchange Between Him and the
President

An Exchange Between Him and the
President.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Han
mas last written words were in the
form of a pathetic letter to President
Roosevelt, written on Feb. 5. 1t is as
follows:
My Dear Mr.. President: You touch
ed a tender spot, old man, when you
called personally to inquire after me
this a. m. 1 may be worse before
can be better, but all the same such
drops of kindness are good-for a fell
low. Sincerely yours
m. A. Hanna
Senator Hanna never saw the reply,
which was as follows:
FEB. 6, 1904.-Dear Senator: Indeed,
it is your letter from your sick bed
which is touching-not my visit. May
you very soon be with us again, old
fellow, as strong in body and as Wig
orous in your leadership and your
friendship as ever. Faithfully yours,
Theodore Roosevelt"

From the Washington Post.
The joke about people going to sleep
in church during the sermon is an old
one, but case of the kind occurred
in a local colored church in Southwest
Washington last Sunday which might
have ended too seriously for joke.
While the pastor was preaching ne
noticed the members of the congrega-
ton showing signs of drowsiness
Thinking his sermon might be tire
some, he endeavored to put more
spirit into It, but matters did not inn
prove. Finally a woman in the con-
gregation fell to the floor unconscious,
and a few seconds later another top
pied over. Then the pastor stopped
his sermon to see what the trouble
was. When he descended from his
high pulpit to the floor he detected
the odor of coal gas. which, being
heavier than the air, had not risen to
the level Of the pulpit, and therefore
had escaped his notice. The people on
the floor, however, We're rapidly near
ing Inconsistencies, when the pastor
opened the doors and windows ana
allowed the fresh air TO drive out the
gas. The gas had escaped from the
furnace which heated the building. but
so gradual was rs spread through the
air that the members OF the congre-
CATION had not noticed A. and had
ascribed their drowsiness TO othax

Are you a hard worker? Are you
overcome with fatigue at the end of

ing to bed with a feeling of satisfac-
ton at the prospect of a nights. re-
pose, do you wait the hour of bedtime
with dread and shrinking? Is it
your unhappy lot to be awakened
every night, just after you have drop
ped off to sleep, by an intense, uncon-
trollable itching of the rectum? Do
YOU then endeavor to relieve the sem
sation by scratching so desperately
that the skin becomes raw and lace
rated, and you finally sink into the
sleep of exhaustion.
If so. you do not need to be told that
you are afflicted with itching piles.
You have probably tried every remedy
you could hear of, with but temporary
relief, il any and have concluded
there was nothing left for you but to
drag out a miserable existence. AS a

Has Frances Sympathy.

Paris, Feb. 23.-Russia has the SYM
pathetic support of France in the for
mer's latest representation to the Pow
ers that Japan is guilty of a violation
of international law in consequence of
the attacks upon the Russian warships
at Port Arthur I'D Chemulpo before
the declaration of war. In this con-
nection attention is called to the occu-
patton of Korea by japanese troops.
In spite of the declaration of Korean
neutrality which was communicated to
all the neutral Powers as we'll as to
the belligerents it is pointed out that
Japan has not hesitated to throw troops
into Korea and to establish base
there.
