rae CLAIMS AGAINST VENEZUELA.

TIE CLAIMS AGAINST VENEZl Ella.
The Hague Tribunal, which for
some months has been considering
the claims of the blockading powers
Tor preferential treatment OF their
claims against Venezuela, has decided
unanimously that the three blocka-
lug powers, Great Britain, Germany
and Italy, have a right to prefer
ence OF 20 per cent. of the customs
duties at the ports OF Guaira and
Puerto Cabello in Venezuela. The
arbitration tribunal claims to have
reached this decision under the rules
OF international law, and while the
decision may be based upon inter
national law, it strikes us as being
far from "a Just conclusion. Why Il
nation who undertakes to collect Il
debt by show of force should be Civ
en- preference over nation which
has shown a more humane and lenl-
ent spirit, we fail to see. Ii such a
rule we're to be adopted in collection
OF debts between private individuals
we would have the spectacle oil Il
headlong rush of creditors at the
throat of a debtor, each striving to
be first to show that belligerency
which would give his claim prece-
dence over his fellow creditors. Such
a rule would not only be demoraliz-
ing, but would be bad in precedent.
Az between nations iC would seem
thai to admit the correctness OF the
principle that 10y show OF force a cred
itor nation can secure precedence III
the payment of debt over other ma
tiOns who have proceeded in an or
DERBY way to collect their claims, Is
to place premium upon violence IN
such matters, and TO encourage the
use of violence rather than the peace
ful methods OF diplomacy.
As to Venezuela, in this instance,
the decision can make no difference,
as she is bound to pay all her credi-
tors sooner or later, but hereafter
We will find that whenever one OF the
weaker nations, in the course Of
events. becomes indebted TO one or
more of the greater nations, show
OF military force will invariably be
resorted to in order TO gain priority
of lien

The assistant professor OF political
science in the University OF Minneso-
ia, VIM. A. Sehsper, has visited the
South with a view of Investigating
her progress in agriculture and edu-
cation, as well as the development OF
her shipping industries. He is con
WINGED that the South is rapidly
moving ahead and is depending
mainly upon her own strong arm for
success. New Orleans, he says, is to
become the great shipping point for
all the products OF the great Missis-
sippi Valley, and with the prospects
OF the speedy completion OF the Pan
ANA canal, which will turn the tide
OF shipping and of commerce to the
Gulf ports, there has come to the
Gulf South, at any rate, an unmis-
taxable spirit of enterprise and OF
boundless hope. We hear it predict
ed that the Gulf is destined to become
the American Mediterranean. There
is every Indication that the people OF
the South have launched out upon a
new industrial era with high hopes
and firm faith in themselves. The
enthusiasm with which they have set
about to remodel their entire educa-
tional system in order to meet the
demands OF the new South is wonder
fully stimulating and refreshing. A
new day has dawned in education as
well as in industry and commerce.

A CHINESE DINNER.
The Tidbitn Were Cantonese Puppy
and eggs Fifty Years Old.

An officer OF the British army says
that one OF tie finest dinners lie ever
ate was served to linn by II chinese
host in lIonglion-. lie 'i,si describes
it: First on me.l c"ln" he lit
tie oysters which cling to Tie bamboo
stems in the salt water MARSHES oil up
pei China. They are, ! should fancy,
the smallest and the sweetest oysters
in the world. Birds nest soup follow
ed, prepared as it should be. | fancy
that a chicken broth was tie liquid to
which the nest gave its peculiar and
attractive taste OF the sea at our feast,
and the combination was excellent. Tri-
pang, which we know as b~eclhe-de-mer,
followed. 1t is the sea slug from the
Loochoo islands, aud served as al ell
tree it tastes very much like turtle fat,
though richer. To counterfeit its rich
ness q great china bowl Of boiled BAN
boo shoots was handed round with it.
Next came a very small roast. l
thought ut first that it was a tiny suck
the flesh was like that Of an agneau de
lait, the little lambs whose meat is
snow white. 1t was one Of the Can
tonese puppies Of a particular kind,
which are doomed from birth to take
their place on the roasting spit and
which are fed OH rice and milk only. l
looked down the table and saw that
my friend WAS eating with Zest, SO for
the first time in my life I ate dog-and
liked it exceedingly. With this puppy
were served all the vegetables in sea-
o and Il salad which had the taste Of
young nasturtium leaf as its strongest
flavor. Rice birds followed. They are
smaller Than ortoianS. each tiny plump
creature being but Il mouthful, but they
are the most delicious eating Of all the
feathered small fry.
"Nankin eggs were next brought
round. They had been buried for fifty
special flavor in them. 10 me they
tasted just like an ordinary hard boiled
egg, and their appearance, being al
most black, was not inviting. They
We're, i'll my opinion, the one failure of
the dinner. The sideboard had been
spread with a variety Of cold viands,
among them pheasants ana game pies
from Shanghai and a Kobe round Of
spiced beef. Baskets of fruit We're
brought in and little orange trees in
pots, from which we We're invited to
pluck tie ripe fruit"

After other members of the cabinet

dent and the attorney general recent
ly have devoted much time to thai
problem. The latter is giving particu-

question so hat he may be prepared
to advise with the president on the
subject am with such members OF
