THE COALLNG OF TIE FLEET.

Surprise is expressed in Japan at the policy
OF France In supplying the Russian feet with
coal for its voyage to the Far East Such
action say japanese papers, is analogous TO let
ting belleerent troops pass across neutral terri
tory II does not appear, however, that the
Japanese government is seriously, if at all, dis
f1lrbed over the matter. Complacency on its
part has at least two good grounds. One is that
such coaling of the Russian feet is no violation
Of law and the other that II probably will not
particulary matter TO Japan whether the Rus
sian feet ever reaches the Far East or not.
The chief interest OF the incident IS, therefore.
in its emphasizing the desirability of further
agreements among the nations concerning rules
and regulations OF warfare an end which, per
haps. can best be attained in the convention
which President Roosevelt is planning TO call
at The Hague.
There is, we know, n common notion that such
provision Of coal to a belligerent feet is a viola
ton OF international law. That notion, how
ever does not seem tenable. Halls "Interna-
tional Law one of the latest authorities does
indeed say that "a vessel Of war . . may
"fll I'D with enough coal TO enable her to reach
''the nearest port of her own country the I'M
Dlication being that she may take only so much
coal and no more-a very different thing from
what the Russians are said TO have been doing
But there is no general agreement upon the
point The latest English edition Of Wheaton
says the matter is entirely within the discretion
OF the neutral government. a neutral is not
required by the law OF nations to place any
''restrictions upon the liberty which it accords
''of purchasing provisions, coal and other sup
piles mot beng arms munitions Of war;.
1T is not rc Of international lac that the sup
plies purchased sh0uld be limited to ann particts-
'idr quantity" During our Civil War Great
Britain made for herself only Of couSse) the
rule that beigerent ship should be permitted
10 take in a British port only enough coal TO
carry her 10 the nearest port Of her own coun-
try. and that rule was repeated in the Franco
German War, the Spansh-American War and
IN the present Russo-Japanese war. Holland on
the other hand, in various wars has openly pro
claimed that belgerent ships might get all the
coal they wanted in her harbors The United
States has always taken strong ground I'm favor

kinds of merchandise, even munitions Of war 10

BROOKLYN DAY AT THE FAIR.

Brooklyn kept house in the beautiful New-York
State Building at the st. Louis Exposition last
Tuesday which was Brooklyn Day at the great
fair. \ formal programme was carried out.
followed by an elaborate luncheon and the
usual post randial eloquence, in which the city
beyond the bridge was duly celebrated. Will
lam Berri. a Brooklynite born and bred made
the address of welcome. aud recalled the fact
that Brooklyn was represented at the Atlanta
Cotton Exposition at Chicago and also at the
Pan-Amercan Fair at Buffalo The fact that
Brooklyn has merged its municipal existence
in that of greater NeW-York has not had the
effect, as the speeches on the occasion showed,
of diminishing Brooklyn spirit or making II less
proud than Of yOTe of its achievements as 1nu-
ricipality. Mr.. Thomas ?. Peters, of THE
Brooklyn Times" told of the renOwn Of the mu-
nicipality whose light now, by its own accord.
blends with that of the greatest city of the
Western Hemisphere To indicate the civic
patriotism of that act Mr. Peters was justified
in reminding his hearers that Brooklyn, although
now merely a Gigantic borough" is three
times large as Buffalo. the home of the Pau
american Exposition. She is twice as large
est Louis the home of the present exposition.
brooklyn territorially, is large enough and
properly adapted to hold a population Of seven
million and still remain less congested than
1.-The present Borough of Manhattan"
These are big facts, and in themselves are
sufficient reason why Brooklyn should so far as
expOsitions are concerned, retain her municipal
right, which, however, questions, of
having a Brooklyn Day" at the fair 1t is not
alone upon territorial bgness and numerical
greatness that Brooklyn challenges attention
and invites comparison. 1t is emphatcally

ishes the home spirit and influence as it's most
treasured possession. The union of the two
cities instead OF diminishing the true Brooklyn
spirit ought to augment ii, as il will now be
more than ever BroOklyns chief possession and
inheritance, while the metropolis welcomes the
reinforcement Brooklyn brings to aid in making
it still more worthy Of the proud place It holds
among the cities of the world.
In one respect that union Is still Incomplete
and an anomaly. Greater New-York is now so
far as we are aware, the only municipality OF
the first class where of its citizens may lose
his vote by moving from one part of the city to
another under election rules that pertain to
COMMITTEES Not a few citizens of Brooklyn and
of Manhattan were prevented from going TO the
poIls and casting their votes for Presidential
electors simply because in moving from Manhat

the new home for four months previous to cleo,
tion was required. AS long rs such n strange
condition of franchise exists there can never be
