There are so many knots in the neu- trality laws, which are rather a set Of customs and precedents than q code of specific enactments, that every warship captain would need an international jurist at his elbow if he would avoid infringing upon the rights of neutrals in every emergency. For instance, it is a rule that belligerent shall not attack the enemy on neutral waters. But sometimes it is extremely difficult to determine just what constitutes an attack in the meaning of that ruling. 1t has been held that where two ves- sells are fighting at open sea and one fees to neutral waters the other may follow up and continue the fight-vir- tuallY make attack-llnder the plea of pressing necessity. A vessel so fleeing from an opponent after showing fight confesses to defeat, and the victor is entitled to his prize. Some interesting points were raised by the action of the neutral yacht Deerhound during the famous Kearsarge-AIa fight The | Alabama formally surrendered to the Kearsarge and, being in sinking con- dition, was abandoned by her officers and crew. The confederate command CT, Captain Raphael Semmes, twelve of his officers and some sailors were picked up by the Deerhound, sailing under the English flag. Captain Semmes said to the owner of the yacht, 1T am now under English colors, and the sooner you put me, with my off cers and men, upon English soil the better" The Deerhound at once l steamed away for Southampton. The underofficers of the Kearsarge ap- pealed to their commander, Captain 1 Winslow, to be allowed to fire a shot at the Deerhound to bring her to, but 1 he declined because he believed that the yacht was simply taking sea room 1 ''to come around' and deliver up the confederates. The rule is that neu- tral ship has no right to rescue the drowning sailors of belligerent, but it happened in this case that Captain Winslow asked the Deerhound to save the Alabama people from drowning. Having taken them on board by fed eral authority, it would have been a breach of neutrality toward the con federate government for the yacht to surrender them. Had the Kearsarge attempted recapture this act would lT neutrality--first, in attacking an en

NEW YORK FASHIONS Pattern For Girls Russian Dress Designed by
 Martha Dean

The design shown here is a new original model in the Russian style 1t is made with two rather wide box piaits in both front and back, stitched to waist length, and the pretty round neck and circular sleeve cap give distinction to the frock. A lining supports the waist and also forms the foundation for the guimpe, which may be elaborately or simply trimmed. The sleeves are sewed to this lining, and in this way number of sep arate guirnpes may be worn with the one dress. This is very important feature, for so few dresses are made so as to admit of such changes In this design a charming development would be in red cashmere, using Persian bands for trim ming and making the guimpe of white lawn or null. If something better is pre- ferred, use china silk or nousseline. Ma teriaI required for girl of six years, 8 yards 36 inches wide. Pattern No. 451S. Sizes. 5, 6, 7, 8, g. 10 and 12 years.
 DIRECTIONS FOR ORDERING
 Send 10 cents to this office, give number of this pattern, No. 451S, and state size de- sired. 1t will then be sent to you by mail postpaid. Be sure to write plainly and al4 ways give full address Several days must be allowed for delivery of pattern.

citizens. There are many who heartily ap-
prove the fundamental proposition that the
city should own the public utilities. such
as the gas and telephone equipments and
the street car lines, but should not under
take their management. They fear that
the corruption and the Incompetence OF the
average municipal official and subordinate.
as judged by the past performances. would
soon play havoc with the services rendered
the people. This sentiment may account
for the discrepancy between the votes.
Chicago will be the first city in the United
States to apply the municipal ownership
idea to it's street railways. Toronto, Can
ada, has for some time owned the plants
and leased them to the highest bidders and
the scheme has worked to the best advan
tage of the people, giving them good serv-
ice, reasonable fares and a large revenue to
the public treasury, with the possibility of
cure of conditions should they ever be-
come intolerable through lax management
or undue corporate greed 1t is clear from
the dispatches that Chicago has not yet
decided what to do with its railway plant
when it is acquired. but it would seem to be
the course of wisdom for it to follow the
Toronto example, at least for the present.

Mr.. Cleveland and the Stump

The following appears in an interview
with Mr.. Cleveland printed in today's New
York Tribune:
Assuming that the platform and candi-
date represent true democratic sentiment
Will you take the stump in the coming cam
paign?"
"All that 1 care to say in reply to that
question is that If the democratic platform
and candidate are of the right character l
shall be very much interested in the success
of the ticket
MIR. Cleveland would be an interesting
figure on the stump. While not an orator
he would command attention by reason of
his eminence in his party. His itinerary.
however. would have to be arranged with
care. There would be no need for him in
the south, and no demand for him in the
west, And there are portions of the east
where he could hope to render small If any
service. But in New Jersey and here and
there in New York and Connecticut. he
might be of use. This question was asked
in connection with the Parker candidacy
of which Mr.. Cleveland speaks respectfully
The Sage of Princeton on the stump for
Judge Parker would put an end to the oft
repeated assertion that he is incapable of
unseltishneSS in politics.

But Mr.. Bryan is not going In for the
part Of Cincinnatus throughout. He will
not be following the plough when the St.

ceiving a committee OF that body bearing
a tender Of the presidential nomination. He
is going to the convention himself By that
time ''the men, on the farm will be able
to get along without him for awhile. There
is a time for ploughing and a time for
Grating. and the farmer-orator. or the
orator-farmer. cannot permit his two activ-
tiles to collide.
And this recalls the fact that at Chicago
in 1896 Farmer Bland was the subject Of as
much eulogy as Statesman Bland. We real
ly heard more about the former than about
the latter. The newspaper writers dwedt on
the plain life of the Missouri candidate at
home; of his trampings afeld, his interest
in his stock, his dinirgs with the hired man,
and all that The picture was painted to
show that there were no frills on Silver
Dick, but that he was in fact one Of the
people. How many votes 1t made for him
in the convention cannot be stated, but 1t
didn't make quite enough. The convention
halted with the nomination until Mr.. Bryan
got the stage and set the delegates wild

No Minister From Panama.

The little republic of Panama is fortunate
in having in the chair of the chief execu-
tive so sensible man as DIR. Amador. If
all his acts are guided by the same excel
lent judgment and consideration for the
welfare of his people as he has just dis
played in the matter of the filling of the va
cant ministership in this city the affairs
of the little state ought to prosper during
his service. DR.. Amador believes that there
is no real need for the maintenance of a min
lister at this capital and so, to save expense,
he intends to leave vacant the post that was
temporarily filled by NJ Bunau-Varilla What
ever diplomatic business may arise between
the two governments can be satisfactorily
adjusted in the course of negotiat ions be-
tween the Panama government and the
American minister or the governor of the
canal zone There will, of course. be many
questions of Importance and interest new
questions in the main so far the his
tory of western diplomacy extends. BIZ
sected as it will be by strip of territory
under the sovereignty of the United States,
the state of Panama will occasionally find
itself embarrassed and compelled to ask for
relief from burdensome conditions. Many
of its requests it is easy to imagine, will
be impossible of satisfaction, while others
will be reasonable and subject to satisfac-
tory adjustment. The United States, it is
clear. will proceed on the isthmus with an
eye single to the rapid and effective prose-
cution of the canal construction, and will
subordinate many non-essentials to that
end There is no reason whatever to be-
leve that the rights of Panama will be will
fully invaded in the least or that the United
States will cause the legal separation of the
two parts of he republic to become a
source of serious annoyance or loss to the
Panamans Trusting thus to the fairness
and common sense Of the United States in
the premises the republic will lose nothing
of its rights by cutting off the ornamental
and really useless office of minister at
Washington.

The Coal Case Decision.

The advantages gained from the Supreme
Courts decision in the anthracite coal case
should be pressed in every legitimate way.
Mr.. Baer and his co-trusters should be
brought to book. 1t was charged and be-
leved that they violated the laws of Penn
sylvania in the matter of the anthracite
coal industry, and they certainly carried
themselves in the most arrogant and tyran-
meal way in this town when the President
moving in the interests of the public well
fare. appealed to them to arbitrate their diff
ferences with the striking miners. Ihey
would do, they as much as said, what they
pleased with their own. For few days
they held to this attitude. and then, under
pressure of the opinion they had affronted
and still despised. sullenly gave way and
arbitration followed
The more it is examined the greater APP
pears the services the President performed
in volunteering his good offices in that
matter. In a way it was greater than the
service he performed in the matter of the
Northern Merger Company. The latter case
was very important, it is true, but freight
rates are not as important as fuel rates or
food rates. In the former case the physical
comforts of millions of people were at stake.
and winter was at hand. with coal bins
d
And yet half a dozen railroad monOpolieS,
with Mr.. Baer as their spokesman, stood
stubborn and unmoved in the face of it.
Still another point is that in the case Of
the Northern merger the President invoked
existing law. He applied a remedy devised
by others. There was the trust and there
the law. and the President asked the
courts to construe the law. This was done,
and his contention upheld. In the matter
of the coal strike he struck out on path
of his own. He had nothing to guide him
but his own sense of the fitness of things
and his solcitude for the people. He exert
ed the influence of his great office in the
general behalf. Some of his friends advised
against it. and others, while silent. had
misgivings. But he took the step courage
ously, carried his point triumphantly, and
was rewarded with almost universal ap-
prevail. 1t is as tall a feather as may be
found In a well-decorated cap.
Trusts that control the necessities of life,
or manipulate them for season are of all
trusts the most inimical to the common
veal. and the ones that should be hunted
early and late.
