On the Hot Trail"
( Boston Herald.)

Precedcnts abound for sending
 punitive expeditions into foreign state against factions which cannot
 be controlled by tho regular authoTi- tics. Daniel Webster, when secretary
 of state, accepted inc hot trnjl'
 principle in negotiating with Great Britain over an ''inVIsiUE' of Kew York state: Andrew Jackson twice
 led punitive expeditions into F'lorjdn
 when still owned kv Spain. and YCv-
 eral times the Unitc@ States hHs jus
 tificG incurstona into M.Nico in p,ir-
 &liit of mdraujC"s
 Tine most cricIiaJed inci'!cnt Of
 the kind probably is th@t with which
 Webster mad to deal. Canada was in
 insur"cctiOn. An island in the NJ
 agara river was seized by an cXpcdi-
 ton organized ou the Union side 1c
 the dividing stream. and the jnsur-
 gent leaders mad the aid of many sympathizing Americans. English troops on the last nicht of thc year 1887 crossed tho river, sciZCd tho brig Caroline within the Jurisdiction of the "St2tcs" crt down ;hc crew and fired the vessel which had been used to carry men. and provisions
 
 ren issued a proclamation and strin- gently enforced the neutrality laws. Three years later a British subject was arrested in New York charged with the murder of an American cit izen in connection with the seizure of the Caroline. The British gov" crnment protested that the seizure was a national act and iUstifablc in self-dcfcnec against the raiders, ard therefore the consequences should ho charged not to a British subject. but to the British government. That case brought about tho passage of law drawn bW Webster confcrrIng jurisdiction on such circumstances upon the Federal courts. and thot secretary notified England that no action would be taken if tho British held their danger to hare boon so great that extraordinary aueasures were necessary.
 The same principle of tho "hot trial" has hccn stated with reference 10 Mexico by three eminent CGhinSt members. Secretary I'ish under Grant 1cclarcd that the border might he crossed to dispcrsc Indian maraudQTs, f necessary, without violating Inc aw of nations. Hayes Secretary of war instructed GCncFdl SnCFDl3n hat troops "upOn a fresh trail" night follow maraudcrS across tho Rio Grande. And Secretary Evar1sx once notified the United States Mip- ster at Mexico city that maraudcrs ,ould not be allowed to plundcr with and then cross the rivor nto Mexico "under protection Of tIe 1lea of the integrity of the soil of he Mexican RepubIic" Thorc yynS ,nce a treaty which now has lapsod with a provision for the forces of ither country to cross the interpa- ionaI line when hot upon a fresh rail-

Both men made light o. the accident
They were taken to the Nassau Coun-

It was said last night that both
would recover According TO the hos
pital authorities. Thompson will be laid
up for at least four months, and 1t
was stated that there is possibility
Of his being incapacitated for further
flying.
Avators who witnessed the fall said
that the men we're lucky TO have es-
capped death. There was no defect in
the bipane, it seems. The accident
was caused in the same way by which
Paul Peck. noted air pilot. lost his
life several years ago in Chicago.
Thompson has usually driven Wright

which the feet do the greater part OF
the work Of driving.
Accident Unavoidable.
The bipane made a quick turn, or
bank. The right plane was tipped TAR
toward the ground. Sometimes, air
pilots say. the plane nearest the
ground ceases TO be buoyed by air.
What is called a side slide occurs, and,
if the craft is in an air pocket. IT may
glide 70 the ground before the driver
can regain control. This, It is be-
leved, Is what happened in this case.
Thus. il was explained, the accident
was virtually an unavoidable one. sew
