ing before the Rivers and Harbors
Committee of the House this after
noon ON the proposal to purchase
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
There we're other advocates from
various States along the Atlantic
coast. but the committee asked to hear
Governor Miller first, and it was
stated afterward by Congressman J.
Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia
who introduced me speakers, that
Governor Miller had undoubtedly
made an impression on the commit
tee that would be of vast benefit 20
the project. Even the members Of
the Rivers and HarbOrs Committee
joined in the applause which follow
ed the address of Governor Miller
After he had been introduced by
Mr.. Moore, the governor said that the
short bill which he held in his hand
meant more to the people along the
Atlantic Coast than any other meas
ure pending in Congress. He read
ne bill, which was as follows:
That the Secretary of War be.
and he is hereby directed TO enter
into. negotiations for the acquisition
OF the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal and to purchase the same, in
accordance with the recommends

RIGHTS OF C0NSULS
ARE HIT BY COURT
Decision Affects Letters Of Adj
ministration Granted on
Estates Of Aliens.

A decision denying the right OF foreign
Consuls in New York State TO letters OF ad-
ministration on the estates Of citizens OF
their countries who die in this State has
been handed down by the Court of Appeals.
These letters have heretofore been granted
by the SurroRates on the grounds that the
treaty between the United States and Italy
In 1878 required It. In decision yesterday
Surrogate Fowler declined to agree with
the Court of Appeals. but said he was com
PEELED to follow its ruling.
Under the treaty In question the Italian
Consuls are entitled to the same rights as
Consuls of the most favored nation" The
Court Of Appeals says that the latest treaty
bearing on the subject was made between
the United States and Sweden in 1911. and
provides thae II a citizen OF either country
dies int.state the foreign Consul shall. 80
far as he laws of each country will permit.
be appointed administrator.
In the case before the court Carmins
D'Adamo died. leaving widow and children
In Italy and brother in this State. The
Italian Consul applied for and receiv ed let
tiers Of administration. but the decedent'
brother applied to have the letters revoked
on the ground that he should be appointe ed
The Surrogate denied his Application and
the Appellate Division affirmed khe de oision
but the Court of Appeals reverses both.
Constituting the swedish treaty in its APP
plication to Italian subjects the Court OF
Appeals says the Consul is entitled 10 letters
of al administration only when no one having
a prior right under the local law is conf
left a brother here the brother is entitled
TO letters under the New York laws.

An astonishing feature OF the tumult that
precedes Armageddon In Christendom is the
violent and vociferous outbreak OF race
hatred in the capitals Of the great Powers.
All Berlin. with the exception of the So
cialist minority. Is shouting Down with the
Slav peril" All st. Petersburg. excluding
the irreconcilabie elements. Is frothina
Down with the Germans" And the Rus
sian word for German is peculiarly offensive.
II is "Niemetz"-a mute person-that is to
say. person whose speech cannot be under
stood
Taking it's cue from either Berlin or st.
Petersburg, the entire civilized world has
divided itself into two raucous camps. each
resonant with bowls OF derision and hate.
Even to one whose ears are well ustomed
to cries Of dscord, such a concerted out
burst Of battle cries IL appalling with por-
tent.
so far as the man In the street is concerned
the general war that is looming imminent
upon he horizon of Europe lie war OF SELF
preservation on the one hand of the German
against the slav and on the other Of the
Slav against the German. The assumption
on all hands appears to be. so far as the mob
is concerned. at any rate. that II the Slav
lives and prospers the Teuton must of neces-
sity die, or the other way around.
Whence comes this hatred, this deadly
conviction OF incompatibility. OF sinister
purpose on either sideI
or course, there is such a thing as race
hatred between the German and the Slav.
OF that there can be no doubt. because II is
perceptible to the casual observer even when
the pulses OF nations are beating at the nor
NAL rate How much this sense OF mutual
distrust has been cultivated and stimulated
by ofrcial devices Is question which cannot
be answered ofhand.
The Russian people-the mass OF the
peasants-see the German people from
below. Even to-day, after Russia has sue
ceeded In eliminating the political domi-
nance OF the Germans which Peter the
Great established when he transferred Ger
man and swedish civilization bodily to the
inhospitable Russian SOIL the Russian
peasantry is largely bcssed by Germans

which form the basis of the wealth OF the
Russian aristooracy-which means the
wealth Of Russia as the peasantry has no
unencumbered wealth to speak of-arc
