ENGLAND'S POSITION.
Balfour Makes Statement in House
of Commons.

Oh commons.
London, Aug lO-In the house of
commons, Premier Balfour, replying
to question on the subject, said the
British government adheres to its con-
tention that there was no adequate
justification for the sinking of the
British steamer Knight Commander by
the Vladivostok squadron.
The premier made general state
ment of the governments views in the
Malacca and knight Commander
cases. He pointed out that the gov
ernment's objection to the seizure of
the Malacca was based entirely on the
British contention that ships issuing
from the Black sea under the CONNER
cial flag of Russia We're incompetent to
transform themselves into cruisers.
"We demonstrated, therefore, very
strongly with the Russian government,
and they showed desire to meet US,
continued Mr.. Balfour, 'but an i'm
portant thing to remember is that it is
an entirely new issue. 1t is the first
time any such incident has occurred
since the treaty of Paris or the treaty
of London. on which our objection is
based. have come into existence. The
actual arrangement reached was in
the nature of compromise.

on their side, made no imprac tica BILE

Washington, Aug. lO.-''The recog-
milton in principle of the treatment of
coal and other fuel and raw cotton as
absolutely contra band of war might
ultimately lead to total inhibition of
the sale by neutrals to the people of
| belligerent states of all articles which
could be converted into military uses.
Such an extension of the principle by
treating coal and fuel and raw cotton
as absolutely contrab band of war simply
because they are shipped by neutral
to Il non blockaded port of belliger.
ent could not appear to be in accord
with the reasonable and lawful rights
of a neutral commerce"
This is summary of a declaration
by Secretary Hay on the right of neu-
trail nations during war. 1t was en-
bodied in circular to American am
bassadOrs in Europe, which was issued
from the state department June 10 last,
but which for some reason was with
held from the public, although certain
shippers who inquired at the state de-
partment after their rights were sup
piled with copies.
The ciruclar is based on a declara-
ton by the Russian government that
coal and other fuel have been declared
contraband.
Refers to West African Conference.
Secretary Hay directs attention to
the West African conference in 1894,
when Russia took occasion to dissent
vigorously from the inclusion of coal
amongst articles contraband of war,
and declared that she would categoric-
ally refuse her consent to any articles
in any treaty or instrument whatever
which would imply recognition as such
Due note is made of the fact that
raw cotton could be made into cloth
ing for the military uses of a belliger-
ent, but the secretary adds that a mil
itary use for the supply of army or gar
rison might possibly be made of foods
tufts of every description which might
be shipped from neutral ports to the
non blockaded ports of a belligerent.
1.-The principle under consideration
might, therefore, he says, "be ex-
tended so as to apply to every article
of human use, which might be decl
ed contra band of war simply because
1t might ultimately become useful to
a belligerent for military purpose.
Fuel and Cotton Necessary
The secretary speaks of coal and 9th
er fuel and cotton as being employed
for a great many innocent purposes,
and that many nations are dependent
on them for the conduct of inoffensive
industries, adding:
and no sufficient presumption of
an intended warlike use seems to be
afforded by the mere fact of their des-
tination to belligerent port.

the VALUE OF
A SINGLE VOTE.

A couple of weeks ago the RECORD
had an interesting article on close cleo
tions in Fremont county.
The value of one vote was clearly
shown in local affairs.
The New York Tribune of recent
date shows up some instances where a
single vote changed to the other side
would have made some remarkable
changes in American history.
In the gubernatorial campaign in
Massachusetts in November. 1889,
Marcus Morton defeated Edward
Everett by single vote in = total POLL
for lOo,622 says writer in the Tri-
bune.
In the spring Of 1911, at the annual
election in Rhode Island there was q
town precinct closely contested by the
Federal and Republican (peace and
war; parties. A Federal farmer hur-
rying down to vote just before closing
time was stopped by finding one Of
his valuable pigs caught between the
planks Of fence. With considerable
difficulty he pried away one of the
planks, released the pig, and started
on the run for the voting place.
Just as he got within a hundred feet
Of it the town clock struck six and the
polls closed without his vote. The re-
suit was that a war representative was
elected from that town by just one
vote
When the General Assembly met a
few weeks afterwardla war senator was
chosen by one majority on joint ballot.
In 1912 the declaration of war against
England was carried in the United
States Senate by one vote. General
Jackson was nominated as a major
general and confirmed by one vote
January Sth, 1915. He commanded
the army at the battle Of New Orleans,
won great victory, became popu-
lar hero, was elected and reelected
president of the United States, re-
moved all the deposits from national
banks, vetoed tbills and played havoc
generally, and all because that pig in
Rhods Island got fast in the fence.
In 1888 had one vote been transferred

the impeachment Of Andrew Jackson

ance OF one vote was never more signal
