COMPLAINING SHIPPERS.
They Are Advised to Seek Redress
From the Prize Court.

The state Department has advised Ameri-
can shippers who have complained of the
seizure of goods by the Russians con-
traband of war that they must seek re-
dress from the prize court at Vladivostok.
case In point was brought to the atten-
tion OF the department yesterday when Bal
four. Guthrie & Co, grain shippers OF
Seattle. complained that shipment of -four
belonging to them was seized on the British
ship Calchas
The department has informed the com
pany that IL cannot undertake to make
these seizures a matter of diplomatic CORE
spondenCe, but advised the complainant to
employ counsel for the purpose of lodging
a protest with the prize court at Vladivo-
stok. The department believes that no time
should be lost In taking this step. and the
opinion is expressed that these cases will
finally be carried to the council of admiralty
at st. Petersburg. American shippers are
advised to employ counsel before the ad-
miralty also 1t is recommended that Rus
sian lawyers be employed.
