ARREST SECRETARY
BRITISH EMBASSY
Fined in Police Court in Massa'
chusetts For Contempt of Court.
MAY CAUSE COMPLICATIONS
The Law Expressly States That Ar

ington Authorities Notified.

Pittsfield, Mass, Sept. H.-Hugh
Quincy, third secretary of the British
embassy, was On Monday fined in the
police court at Lee on two charges.
For contempt OF court he was fined
$25. A similar fine was imposed in a
case charging him with speeding his
automobile in S~tockbridge, Sunday. Mr..
Quincy, when a%rraigned, positively re-
fused to- plead, claiming that as he
was the third secretary to his britannia
majesty he could not, under interna-
tional law, be arrested or held for any
crime"
Special Justice Phelps said he did
not recognize international law in his
court, and informed the defendant that
he must enter a plea. Mr.. Quincy per-
sisted in his refusal. Then a fine was
imposed for contempt Of court.
Mr.. Quincy did not have in his pos
session sufficient money to pay the
fine, and he was committed in the
charge of the officer who made the ar
rest. The officer accompanied Mr.. Cur
ney to Lenox, where the money was
secured.

Washington, Sept, 27.-Notice of the
action of a special justice at Lee,
Mass, in filming Hugh Quincy, third
secretary of the British embassy, was
received at the state department in a
telegram from Mr.. Raikes, first secre-
tary of the embassy, who is at Lenox.
The department Immediately transmit
ted this telegram in substance to the
governor of Massachusetts, with sug-
gestions that he do whatever might be
necessary to secure the diplomatic i'm
munity Of Mr.. Quincy. 1t is believed
at the department that the matter may
be far more serious than the local Of
fcials at Lee seem to regard it. In
the first place, by constitutional and
statutory law, the persons attached to
an embassy are expressly relieved from
any legal responsibility, and the ex-
emption even extends to domestic serv-
ants.
pCCliOu tobc, ICFloCu otalutCoi w
clares that any writ prosecuted in any
court Of the United States or of a
state, or by any judge or justice in
tended to cause the arrest and impris-
onment Of any public minister or his
servant shall be void. The succeeding
section 4063, revised statutes, provides
that every person by any such protest
is obtained or prosecuted, whether as
party or attorney, and every officer
concerned in its execution "shall be
deemed a violator of the law of ma
tions and a disturber of the public re-
pose, and shall be imprisoned for not
more than three years, and fined at the
discretion of the court"
1t will remain for the governor of
Massachusetts, to take initial action in
this case, which will require prompt
redress. The last important precedent
occurred in 1892, at the picnic resort
of Bayridge, near Baltimore, when DR..
Georg, an attache Of the Swiss legation
in Washington, vas arrested by a dep
uty sheriff on the charge ct being a
pickpocaet, and was searched and 9th
erwise treated in a humiliating manner
by the local authorities. The state de-
partmeIt secured his release at an
early moment through the governor OF
Maryland, who also caused the dismiss
al of the offending deputy and ex-
tended an apology for the incident.
Though the Swiss minister might have
pressed further punishment, he ac-
cepted what had been done as sufi-
eient, but the matter was deemed OF
such Importance that he could not give
this notice to our government until the
Swiss federal council had formally
considered the case and expressed it.

Korea, the retreat in this direction

forces is an impenetrable puzzle, the
solution of which will only be mani

the Third army corps now being mo-
bilized for immediate dispatch to the

command of the first army. The en-
peror is personally convinced that the
political as well as the military pres

that every other consideration must
give way before the exigencies of war.
The %sourc of the empire in men
and money must be drained. if neces-
sary, in order to turn the scale and
vindicate the power of Russia.
The reorganization amounts to form
al notice to the world, as the emperor
frankly explains in his rescript, that
he intends to vastly increase the num-
Der of troops at the theater of war in
order to force the struggle to a suc
cessful issue in the shortest possible
time. 1t is intended to silence def
nitely all talk Of foreign intervention
by the announcement that Russia
means to fight out the issue with ia
pan on the field of battle. Probably
100000 additional lei will be placed
in the field.
Five corps-the Third, Fourth, Fifth,
Seventh and Eighth are already des-
tined for the front, and the talk is
that five more corps will be sent for
ward. Eventually the creation Of this
second army involves the selection of

there no intimation in the rescript
that Gen. Kuropatkin will have com
mand of both armies, but he is dis

formed circles there is little idea that

Seriousness Now Marks Popular At
titude Toward the War.
Toxic, Sept. 26.-An increasing
feeling of sobriety and seriousness
marks the popular attitude toward the
war. 1t is doubtful that the masses
appreciated in the beginning the seri-
n of the task of expelling Rus
STA from Manchuria. They had an
easy confidence in the ability of the
army and navy to reduce the fortress
of Port Arthur, destroy the Russian
fleet and crush Gen. Kuropatkin. The
prolongation of the siege, the losses
before Port Arthur and Gen. Kuropat-
kin's escape at Lao Yang have brought
a general appreciation of the maghi-
tude of the national task and dissi-
pated the growing hopes of an early
peace, based on the confidence of the
sweeping victories. The events at
Port Arthur and Lao Yang have i'm
pressively warned the Japanese people
to prepare for a long and trying war.
Confidence in the final outcome, how
ever, remains mistaken, and the ma
ton has resolutely and determinedly
settled down, prepared to make sac
rifces and pay the price that success
demands. The strain of the war and
the drain upon the country's resources
has not yet been felt to any extent
among the people

Japanese that there shall be no blood
shed near the "holy city," where the
