INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Socety's Aim Is to Instruct the Public
 On This Subject.

Washington, April 19.-To develop interest and instruct the popular mind on subjects pertaining to the relations of the United States with other nations in the ambitious undertaking of the American Society of International Law, which is to hold it's second annual meeting here Friday and Saturday of this week. That the ambition of the society is being realized is evidenced by 500 members enrolled and the wide circulation of the American Journal of International Law, published quar- terly by the organization.
 Secretary Root, who is president of the society, has taken a keen interest in it's development, which he regards as highly important to the nation, in view of the increase of popular con trol over national conduct which marks the political development of the present time. The principal plank lr the platform of the society is in the words of it's president:
 That the great body of the people in each. country should have just conception of their international rights and duties"

DIPLOMATIC TROUBLE.
Turkey Tries to Regain Control of
 French Mines.

Constantinople, April 19.-The attempt of the Turkish government to regain con- trol of coal mines at Eregli town of Asia Minor 12S miles from Constantinople in which French company is interest," ed to the extent of $15000,0O0 has led to a serious diplomatic difficulty. The French government supports the conces- sionaries who decline to entertain the question of resale of the property until the Porte furnishes proof of its abi- ity to bring forth the purchase money which, considering the mpoverishment of the Turkish treasury, is manifestly inn possible. In the meantime France has closed her market to any Turkish loan, and the French embassy has notified the Porte that France will-exact an indem- nity of $2,50o, GOO for every day that set tlement is delayed, in addition to a com pensation of $2,S0o.000 for losses to the company, Incurred by disturbances The incident has been the subject of more than ordinary attention, because of the attitude of Italy towasd Turkey, as shown by the threatened demonstration by Ital- ian warships in Turkish waters.
