The status Of the mails In time of
war has been the subject Of much con.
troversy, but has not been clearly de-
fined in treaties or in works on inter.
national law. Hostile dispatches, mill
tary orders and the like, excepting the
messages of ambassadors. have been
recognized as contraband and, Of
course, subject to seiznre. Not only is
the transportation fSfheln equivalent
to the carrying of cont hband goods,
but the fraudulent transportation Of
them Is regarded as a Peculiarly hostile
act subjecting the offending vessel to
the severest penalty of confiscatlon.
Such Is the argument Of Sir William
Scott. But regular mail-carryine yes

according to Hautefeullle, subject to
penalty. The principles apply. OF
course. only to hostile dispatches. Or
binary mails of commercial. personal
or other acknowledgement character
should certainly enjoy different stat

exemption from seizure when under a
neutral flag.
Mr. Seward long ago expressed the
American view of the case when he
said that there is no recognized sane
ton OF the principle that bona fide,
authenticated and sealed public mail

tween two neutral ports. Gun be y1o-
lated lawfully, either by a naval officer
or prize court, merely because the

japan May BE Using an American
Boat that Went to Holland.
As far as Uncle Sam knows, a tor
Spedo boat, made in this country, may
have been sold to Japan within the last
two months. The boat. which is OF the
submarine type, Is known as the Pro-
tector, and was built at Elizabeth, N.
j., by the Lake Submarine Torpedo
Boat Company. r. G. Wilde, Of Merld-
Inn. Conn.,, stakeholder OF the con-
cern. who is at Newells Hotel, said
last night that the boat had been sold,
and, to the best Of his knowledge, It
likely now is part of the Japanese
navy. 81
The sale was made two months ago,
he said, to private person, and the
transfer was made on the high seas.
The price was about $500, 900. The boat
was taken apart for transportation,
and 1t easily could have been landed
in Japan without the interference Of
Russia.
II know that the Protector has been
sold" said Mr.. Wilde, land that 1t was
bought for use In the Eastern seas. The
stockholders Of the company have not
been acquainted with the name OF the
purchasers, il they ever will be. We
have been given to understand that
our interests have been looked after
In the sale, and that the fewer ques-
lions asked the better. I attend the
Stockholders meetings only by proxy.

iventor. as president. Ex-Governor

This sale, I understand. was effect
ed by President Lake. A person acting
for a government opened negotiations
over three months ago. The greatest
secrecy was maintained concerning the
deal.' a.
It is said that when the Protector
was first taken apart, or Knocked
down." the company endeavored to Gre
ate the impression that 1t was going to
Holland for tests At first this was
ldiscredlted. No one in connection with
the company made the voyage with the
boat. and this gave rise to the suspicion
that Japan was the. third party. Mr..
Wilde would not deny that suchsis the
case, although he would not admit that

Fighting Paper Trust.

The resolution Of Representative
Lilley instructing the secretary of
commerce and labor to Investigate
the hign price and scarcity OF news
print paper and the causes which
have produced these conditions, was
the subject of discussion before
the house committee on judiciary.
Don G. Seitz of the New York World,
and John Norris, business manager of
the New York Times, were heard.
Both covered practically the same
ground in statements and the Inter
national Paper company and the Cen
eral Paper company had divided the
United States between them in the
control of the news print paper. The
International controlled all that Sec
tion east of the Indiana line and the
General company the territory west
of that line. This combination, it
was testified to, had raised the price
of news paper during the last. four
years sl4 a ton and during the past
wear as much as IS a ton: it was SELL
ing paper in London, counting the
freight and insurance, at 80 per cent.
less than it did in New York.
