WILL MARK EPOCH IN
INTERNATIONAL LAW

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-On the
18th of December will be decided the
first dispute between nations ever sub.
mitted to a permanent standing court
It will mark an epoch In the history
of international law. 1t will be an
entirely new departure in international
intercourse like Secretary Roots re
cent arrangement with Baron Taxa.
hira, the Japanese ambassador. Both
the court of nations in Central Amer.
lea and the Japanese correspondence
establish new precedents that will un-
doubtedly be followed elsewhere, and
1t is entirely probable that the Cen
tial American experiment Will be the
beginning of courts, permanent courts
OF justice, for international litigation
Many tribunals have been formed
to settle disputes between nations:
the arbitration of international diff.
ferences is now almost universal. but
the judges in such cases are selected
by the litigants after the offense and
to serve in that particular case only.
An equal number is usually selected
from each of the disputants, and the
2;kli Who TifIas h8ec5ffips s2Ir q aHltealRatinn
of the other judges, invariably decides
in favor of his own nation, right or
wrong. and thus throws the responsi-
bility of justice upon the odd man.
This has occurred in almost every ar.
bitration in recent years. with the ex-
ception of the Alaska boundary arbi
tration In London, when the British
commissioner voted with those from
the United States and made the de-
cision unanimous.
The idea of a permanent information.
al court has been proposed and dis
cussed repeatedly for years. 1t was
one of the most animated topics at
the three pan-American conferences
but the United States government did
not favor it because In American af-
fairs we are always the plaintiff ma.
ton. No other American republic ever
brings a claim against US, but We are
continually being compelled to pre-
sent claims for damages against other
American nations because OF damages
suffered by our citizens within their
territory. Such permanent court
would be composed of representatives
OF nineteen Latin nations and one An
gloSaxon.

WORLD STEEL WAR IS LIKELY.


LONDON. Dec. ia. Farrell. at
the head Of the exporting department
OF the steel trust. has sailed for New
York, after vainly trying to arrange a
modus vivendi between the trust and
the English and continental steel mill
owners regarding Mexican and South
American trade. A world war of prices
may be the result.
The trust and the foreign (partic.
ularly the British) steel mills have
had long standing fight over the
foreigners advantage OF importing ore
free of duty for Mexican and South
American trade. The trust, however,
ha always considered it's position un-
assailable owing TO its ability to reg
ulate prices.
The recent activity of foreign com.
petition, however. brought Mr.. Farrell
TO Europe, and he offered to his com
petitors to pledge the trust not to
lower prices If the English and cont.
mental mills would let Mexican and
South American trade alone.
The response was a flat refusal TO
enter into any agreement, and now
the question is VIII there be war
Of prices?

THE STORM LOCALLY.

The eastern train left the Silverton
depot this morning on time, but about
three miles out of town found the road
completely blocked by the Cleveland
slide, which had apparently fallen
some time in the night. The slide
is l25 feet long, and from eight to
twelve feet deep. The train returned
TO Silyerton and the chances are they
will stay there for the present. All
the available section men were busy
at the slide today, digging 1t out. A
stub was sent to Chama this morning
from Durango, leaving the depot at
$3.50. The Southern left at $3.50. and
the Pennington at 8.
Switching was not an easy matter
this morning since water was over
the tracks in many places. On the
Main street side the depot was un'
approachable by foot passengers, un'
less protected by good rubber boots
All the Main street crossings near
the depot were under good four
inches of water, with about the same
of melted snow. Over one of the
walks, a temporary bridge of planks
and joists had been laid, dizzy, slip
perry affair, that was all right If yo,
didn't look down at the water ant
slush whirling beneath. Two peopl,
scooted merrily off this morning. On,
person WAS looking down and step
ped Off and the other slid-wasn'
looking where he was going. From
Main street the bridge ran down hill
to the depot platform. and the waite
likewise, ending in very pretty swim
ming pool in front of the express o
fee. Rubber boots! Well, rather. an
boat or two. to say nothing Of wet
bed feet!
