One of the candidates for Mayor of Chicago has been boasting in his cam- paign speeches of the fact that his wife bakes her own bread, which indi- cates that he is not lacking in inge- nuity in setting forth his peculiar qualifications for office. If he can also prove that his wife darns his socks and is noted for the excellent quality of her chocolate fudge it may as well be admitted that this Chicagoan is ad- mirab bly, fitted to make a good mayor.

determining the question of intention
IT was proper for the agents of the
blockading power to seek and accept
collateral evidence, such as the actual
ownership, the connections of consign-
ors and consignees. the character of
ostensible seamen but actual passen-
gers. the significance of orders. the
language of letters and the gossip of
the crew; 90 That intention to trans

deduced from the character and nor

Long and Short DELAYS.

Some of the United States ships which
have been delayed at great expense to
United States shippers since the out
break of the war, and which have been
the subject of the 1000 or more COM
plants received at the State Depart
ment, have been held up for only a
few days; others have been delayed
for several weeks, while an investiga-
ton of cargo and its destination has
been made. In some cases delays have
been for months. In a number Of the
cases part of the cargo has been dis
charged and the ship released; in
others the whole cargo mas been seized
in still others both snip and cargo have
been seized.
The additions and notifications to the
declaration OF London announced by
the British government have to do with
the destination OF shipments, and an
extended list OF contra band promulgated
by the allied governments, intended to
prohibit all trade with Germany and
Austria either by the shipment OF goods
into those countries or expectation OF
goods from them.
Delays, however, have not constituted
the only source or complaint in the So
called issues between the United States
and Great Britain The State Depart
ment has received complaints as to the
harsh manner in which British ships of
war and patrol have exercised the right
this manner has not only been harsh, it
has been Illegal, under international
law, specifically SO in cases in which
British war and patrol ships have
taken United States ships into British
ports for examination.

The Bermuda Case.

Again. during the civil war, the steam
ship Bermuda. nominally owned by
Edwin Haigh, British subject, al
though South Carolnians had an own
ership interest in the vessel. was cap
tured by the United States war vessel
Mercedita and sent into Philadelphia
as a prize. The allegations of the cap
tors were that the vessel was enemy s
property. and. with her cargo, largely
composed of munitions of war. had
been intending. either directly or by
transshipment. to break the blockade
then established by the United States
government against the southern coast
and that both vessel and cargo were
subject on these grounds to capture
and condemnation.
The Bermuda sailed from Liverpool
in January, 1862, ostensibly for the
British West Indies. Some Of the car
go was transshipped at st. Georges.
West Indies and the ship proceeded TO
Nassau. West Indies. April %. 1862. On
the eth the shin was captured, with a
number of gentlemen bound to South
Carolina on board.
The prize court at Philadelphia de-
clared the ship and cargo n prize. and
an appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States resulted in an af'irma-
ton of the verdict in these words:
"Our conclusion is that both vessel
and cargo. even if both were neutral.
were rightly condemned. and on every
ground the decree below must be at
firmed."

Civil War Blockade Decisions.

Students of international law, dis
cussing these issues" point out that
during the civil war United States prize
courts announced the doctrine of what
is known as 1.-The ultimate destination
or continuous voyage" which meant
that II at the time goods were shipped
the shipper intended that goods should
reach an enemy destination he could
not escape the consequences by break
ing the voyage. That Is to say, at the
present day the application of this doc
trine Is that United States shippers who
intend that goods shall reach either
Germany or Austria cannot escape the
consequences OF discovery and capture
by British ships IL they attempt to ship
the goods to a neutral port, there to be
transshipped to Germany or Austria.
Great Britain is invoking that prin-
ciple against United States ships car
rying goods to neutral countries of
Europe, alleging that United States
shipments sent to these countries will
finally find their way to Germany and
Austria. The latter prospect, Great
Britain claims, gives 1t the right to
sift all United States commerce going
to the neutral countries of Europe.
Most of the complaints to the State
Department recite that United States
shipments are made in good faith to
the neutral countries of Europe. in
response to regular trade orders from
their customers, and the complaints
declare that Notwithstanding the fact
that such shipments are accompanied
by affidavits and proof of neutral desti-
nation and intended neutral consump-
ton, the shipments are regularly held
up by the war and patrol vessels of
Great Britain. the British government,
it is said refusing to accept afidavits,
and holding up cargoes on the ground
that they are under suspicion"
Cotton Shipments.
Raw cotton has furnished the basis
for many of the complaints that have
been made to the State Department.
The British order in council of March
IL effectively bars all shipments Of
cotton into Germany and Austria
either through their ports or over
land through neutral countries. In
practice. the complaints say, the cot
ton exporters are unable to get cotton
into neutral countries, although des-
tined for consumption in such coun-
tries.
In 1862 British merchants and ship
owners of Liverpool filed a memorial
with the British government. invoking

Great Britain growing out of deten-

there have been more than 1000 in

United States goods to belligerent and
neutral countries. as a result of which
the United States government has been
In frequent correspondence with the
British government
These delays have become known as
the issues between the United States
and Great Britain" largely because the
delays were and are beng caused by
additions and notifications to the
declaration of London, which Great
Britain was the first to formulate by
an order In council signed at Bucking-
ham Palace August ~ and by a memo
randum handed to Ambassador Page at
London by the British minister for for
eign affairs. although Russia, France
and the other ally countries announced
their acceptance of the notifications of
the declaration. The delays have also
become known as the issues between
the United States and Great Britain
for the additional reason that it is the
preponderant number OF British ships
which are enforcing the additions and
notifications to the declaration OF Lon
DON Again, the delays were further
added to by reason of the fact that
there were number of amendments to
the celebrated order in council of Au-
gust 20 and another order in council
