JAPAN ARRAIGNED
Her Violation of the Hague
 Tribunal Rules
The First Attack on Port Arthur Was an Attack by Asia Upon Christian Europe.

Paris. March I'M. Jacobson, an advocate of the Paris court of appeals, has published a pamphlet on the sit tings of the Hague arbitration tribun- al in the Venezuelan matter, to which Professor De Martens. Russian mem Der of the tribunal, has contributed a preface in which he touches on the far eastern question.
 Professor peMaartens says the fact that Japan was a party to the Hague convention of 1899 and that she at tackled her opponent without having made a declaration of war will make many persons ask of what use is the arbitration tribunal. He explained that the first Japanese attack at Port Arthur was not merely Japanese ships attacking Russian ships, but Asia attacking Christian Europe.
 These two civilizations have totally different ideas on the subject of arbi- tration, the Russian member of the court continues, and although the Port Arthur incident seems to be discourag- ing there is no doubt that the future will bring arbitration between nations, if not in Asia, in force in Europe.

 He said in an interview:
 "I do not consider RUssia's refusal to receive a consul of this country at Dalny as unfriendly. as she has in formed the United States it would be impossible to extend to our representa- tive the courtesy that is customary be- tween friendly nations. At present the harbor of Port Arthur is blockaded by Japanese ships and Dalny Is liable to suffer for want of supplies. The United States has no hostile intentions in es- tablishing a consulate at that port, and believe if conditions were differ ent the Russians would be only too glad to receive me"

 O'Haire's attorneys held that the To- cal court had no Jurisdiction in the matter. but the court decided that both parties being citizens of Colorado. he could restrain one from suing the other in another state if the grounds iusti- fled.
 O'Haire sued for damages charging that Burns had defrauded him in the original deal in regard to the Portland mine at Cripple Creek.
 O'Haire, James Doyle, Burns and J. J. Driscoll were prospectors together at the time the great Portland mine was discovered. All three have at diff fcrent times sued Burns charging. fraudulent action in filing the papers showing the location of the mine.

Washington, D.

The Russian government s declaration of contrabrand of war IS naturally a question jointly vital to the two English speaking countries.
 Iu fact, this is only one of many questions, which have a dual interest to the United States and Great Britain because of the similarity of their in teTests in the far east. and also because both countries are strongly unGcr Rus sian suspicion. This last fact makes it necessary that there shall be a very thorough understanding between the London and Washington governments regarding their fullfllment of neU- trality obligatio
