THOSE RUSSIAN MINES.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg virtually
admits that the Russians have laid mines
several miles out to sea and makes a char
acteristic defense. The dispatch expresses
doubt that the British or American govern
flents will protest against the laying of the
mines. and adds:
The indications are that if the question
OF laying mines beyond the three-nlile limit
becomes the subject of a formal protest il
will raise a new question of interna tional
law growing out of the increased range of
modern guns. The three-mile limit was es-
tablished in the day when that distance rep
resented the maximum range, but if ships
can now lie eight or ten miles away and yet
reach the coast with their projectiles, it is
argued that the defenders have a perfect
right TO take such military measures as
they choose within the range of the
enemys guns
The defense Is ingenious and raises an en-
tirely question. 1t may be true that
from the coast was based on the range of
guns of former period. Information is
lacking on that point. If true, there would
be reason in the contention that the juris-
dictional limit should be changed to meet
the increased range of modern guns.
Dut lHdt uOeS not nltlSdte the OuenSe or
the Russian authorities in placing mines
ten miles at sea in violation of long-exist-
ing international law If the limit is to be
changed it can only be done by ;nterna-
tional action. 1t would be a proper subject
for international treaty or agreement, but
without that the action of the Russian au-
thorities is an unauthorized violation of in
ternational law. The Russian contention is
that, as the japanese ships can lie eight or
ten miles away and yet lombard the coast,
the defenders have a right to take such
military measures as they choose within the
range of the enemy's guns. But the Rus
sian guns have as long range as the Japa-
nese, and the right to adopt defensive meas
ures ought not to include the right to place
mines I'm the high seas. The question was
one for international action, but Russia
could not wait.
1t is not likely the British or American
government will protest against the action
of the Russian authorities, because the
question is mot likely to assume a practical
aspect. If, however. there were British or
American ships I'm those waters, and one
should happen to be blown up by mine
ten miles at sea. Russia would hear from
the government very quickly.

A CITY TO BE PROUD OF.
That Is what People shy Who Know
What indianapolis Is.

Mr.. Nicholson's article on Indianapolis, in
the Atlantic Monthly for June. from which
the Journal quoted yesterday. receives the
following pleasant editorial mention in the
Chicago Record-Herald:

able pride and satisfaction the graceful

Colombia has notified the State Depart
ment at Washington that it does not care
10 receive a minister from the United
States, which is not surprising. in view of
her impotent rage over the loss of Banana.
At the same time comes word that her
statesmen are active in an effort to effect
an alliance Of neighboring states of Cen
trail and South America for the alleged
purpose of resisting American aggression.
This news is accompanied by the report
that Venezuela has adhered to the propo-
sition heartily. and the actual fact that the
latter government has contracted with a
French concern for the fertilization of her
seacoast towns. This may and probably
does mean an intention to repudiate her
debts as adjudged by The Hague tribunal.
The alliance with Colombia would be mere
ly a part of such a plan in the mind Of
Castro.
Such a step would lead to rather inter-
esting possibilities How far would we
seek to stretch the Monroe doctrine in
protection of these 'cocky' little republics
in the effort to escape debts proven to be
just? Certain it is that we would not pre-
vent the creditor nations from seizing the
custom houses until such debts were liqui-
dated. But suppose. in the paralysis of
business that such an event would produce.
the customs should prove inadequate, would
we consent to foreign occupation for an
indefinite period?
1t is more reasonable to suppose that in
case of such reputation creditor nations
would say to US: I'VE look to you for
Justice. You declare that we cannot fol-
low the only practicable way of enforcing
