bity and high moral character. The
conference Of 1899 by representatives
Of twenty-siX Of the leading govern
ments representing more than 90 per
cent Of the population, and practically
all Of the wealth. influence and civiliza-
ton of the wcrld.
It was formed July %, 1899. The
countries represented were the United
States, Germany, Austria hungary, Bel
GUM, China, Denmark, Spain, Mexico,
France, Great Britain, Greece, Italy,
Japan, Luxembourg, Montenegro, The
Netherlands, Persia, Portugal, Rouma-
mia, Russia, Servia, Siam, Sweden, and
Norway, Switzerland, Turkey and Bull
garia.
The general plan Of the tribunal fol-
lows a common law model Indicating
AnglO-SaXon influences. All the gov
ernments which originally signed The
Hague Convention, and all those who
shall adhere to it, are entitled to ap-
point four members Of the permanent
court. twenty-five governments have
appointed representatives, though in
some cases less than four, China, Tur-
key, Montenegro and Persia are with
out representation. The court, there
fore, has, at the present time, a perma-
nent bench of seventy-two judges, from
whom are chosen one or more arbitra-
tors who sit as a court in each particu-
lar case. The arbitrator are appoint
ed for six years, and may be reappoint-
ed. There are no salaries, but q lib
eral honorarium is paid to the arbitra-
tors serving, by the parties in a case.
An administrative council, composed of
the several diplomatic representatives
at The Hague, has general charge Of
the central office (known as the Inter
national Bureau). This council has the
power and the machinery for setting
the court in action. The council is
presided over by the Netherlands Min
lister Of Foreign Affairs.
No case can be brought before the
court at the instance Of one govern
ment Of its own motion against an
other. Both parties must agree to sinh
nit the case Arbitrators are chosen
according to a preliminary agreement
between the parties, generally called a
protocol. This protocol defines, among
other things, the subject Of the CON
troYersy and the extent of the powers
Of the arbitrators Where there are
three or more arbitrators, they choose
one Of their number to act as president.
or umpire. A sovereign or the head of
state may act as sole arbitrator. Each
side submits its case, or brief, with
copies of all documents relied upon to
prove It's contentious. After a reason
able time counter cases are filed by each
side. Oral argument then follows. The

by Venezuela, by reason Of the fact
that they had, by their vigorous and
forcible action, brought Venezuela to
terms.
Great Britain, Germany and Italy, on
one side, were pitted against the United
States, France, Spain, Mexico, Venezue-
la Belgium, the Netherlands and Swe-
den and Norway on the other. It was
the first case submitted to the tribunal
by the assent Of a majority Of the Eu-
ropean powers. Twenty-Five men, all
eminent in their several countries and
many Of them with international repu-
tations as jurists, statesmen and diplo-
mats, appeared as counsel
One Of the effects which the dele
gates to The Hague Conference hoped
might flow from the establishment Of
the tribunal was the building up Of a
body of international law growing out
of the decisions handed down by the
tribunal. So far, the judgments, or
sentences, as they are called, have not
materially added to the principles of
international law. This is due in part
to the nature Of the cases themselves.
The PiOus Fund decision places the
findings of tribunals Of arbitration on
the same plane with judgments Of tri,
bunals created by States. This has q
tendency to strengthen the general prin-
ciple of arbitration.
In the Venezuelan preferential treat
ment case the tribunal decided that the
three allied powers which resorted to
war against Venezuela were entitled to
q preference over the creditor nations
that refrained from force.
The tribunal has not yet met the
hopes Of its many friends. Some of
the governments have shown dispo-
sition to avoid referring their differ
ences to 1t. But, during the five years
Of its existence a remarkable forward
movement has taken place in the
thought Of the peoples Of the world, so
that the advantages Of International ar
bitration are now more generally evil
dent. Each year great national and
international peace conferences stimu-
late and increase a public sentiment
in favor of arbitration as q means of
preserving peace. A new and brighter
day is dawning for this tribunal

Jurisdiction Of the Tribunal, as fixed
by The Hague Convention. is confined
to legal questions, and especially to
those involving treaties.
The docket Of the court has not been
overrun with cases. Only two contro-
versies have actually been tried. Both
Of them were of American origin and
we're taken to The Hague through the
efforts Of the United States.
The first involved a difference be
tween the United States and Mexico
the case Of the "Pious Fund of the
CALIFORNIA;" The government of Mex
leo had refused to continue paying in
terest on the Pious Fund-a fund Gre
ated a century or more ago for sup
port Of the missions Of the Roman
Catholic Church in Upper and Lower
California. The Mexican government
had sold and converted into a trust
fund property originally donated to the
church for missionary purposes. 1t had
for many years paid interest to the
church, but finally stopped paying. The
case was argued at The Hague. The
award was in favor of the United
States. Every material claim made
was allowed.
The second case was the Venezuelan
preferential treatment case. Great Brit
ain, Germany and Italy, known as the
Allies" had tried to enforce, by war
like measures, the collection Of GER
tain claims of their subjects against
Venezuela. BY bombarding her forts,
sinking her ships and blockading her
ports these nations had compelled We
nezuela to agree to set aside q certain
fund to pay all the claims held by for
eigners against her, when the amounts
had been fixed by commissions chosen
for that purpose. The citizens Of eight
other nations, however, had claims
against Venezuela. These nations had
not resorted to force to secure a set
Element. There arose, therefore, ques-
ton whether, as claimed by them, the
three allies were entitled to have their
claims paid out of the fund provided
