 The acts of congress in l798 were in the aggregate somewhat like the bill introduced in the senate b. Sena- tor Fall. The president then was authorized to instruct and direct com manderS of the United States war vessels to seize and bring into any port of the United States any armed vessel found lowering on the coasts of the United States and committing de- Lreu.tions on American ships. They also were instructed to retake any captured American ship. Another ac, authorized merchant ships to be arm ed and to take the same steps against foreign vessels. Communication with France was forbidden, and French vessels were prohibited from entering the ports of the United tSatcs.

It generally has concerned more than one power, and the most striking historical instance Of armed neutrahtieS were those of the Northern European powers in l7SO and 1900, made to defend the principle of free ships and free goods, adopted by treaty between the Baltic powers and opposed by England.
 If the commercial interests of se- veral nations" says one authority, "are threatened by unjust or unlawful measures on the part of bcligcrent, which they deem unjust or dangerous there can be no question of their right to secure their menaced interests by such combinations as seem best cal culated to accomplish that purpose.
 When war broke out between France and Great Britain neutrals be- came alarmed at the danger with which their maritime rights were threatened and the empress of Russia undertook to unite them in defense of their neutral rights. This formed the basis of treaties between Russia Den mark, Sweden, Holland Austria and Portugal They formed a league which. under the name of armed neu- trality. undertook to preserve invio-

Mining Notes

Reports received by the Iditarod Pioneer indicate that Horsefy creek which created good deal of local ex- citement year or so ago, is likely yet to secure it's place in the sun. 1t is said that Nelson, who has been prospecting there during the winter, has received much encouragement, and Bob Roberson, who ventured much work in backing up his belief that pay existed there, is on his way there from the Tolstoi with a boiler to resume prospecting work. There are also reports of good prospects having been opened up on creek in the vicinity of Horsefy.
 Ames of the Guinan and Ames dredge on Glacier, is advocating the substitution on dredges of electric power instead of steam or gas. He urges the establishment of central power companies in the Nome district.
 Dexter Hill, in the Nome district, shows up rather poorly compared with the activity of last winter. Two or three outfits are in pay and few men are engaged working for wages. Quite bit of prospecting is going on.
 On Neiburg's fraction adjoining the Mohawk, at Nome, LOveway, Conrad and partners, reached bedrock at 65 feet without results.
 Ohrem, HOlmberg and Erickson have sunk two shafts on the summit bench adjoining the Kathleen claim near Nome, in search of the famous paystreak for which this vicinity is noted.

PRES. ADAMS ARMED U. s. SHIPS IN
 1798; WILSON ACTS ON PRECEDENT

1 late the maritime rights of neutrals These declarations were recognized by the treaty of peace between Great Britain and France and were the es- tablished law of nations when the l United, in l7S3, was recognized as in- dependent by the powers of the world.
 The last time the United States was in a state of armed neutrality was during the war between France and England, which ended with the down fall of Napoleon.
 After many acts against American commerce bound for England, France on January Is, 1779, decreed that every vessel found at sea loaded with merchandise produced in England or her possessions could be made a prize.
 Many American vessels were seized and in June, 1793, President Adams began to obtain from congress broad authority to protect American com merce and to put the United States in a better position to make war if it be- came necessary
 In rapid succession laws were made to increase the naval armament, to au- thorize a provisional army, to arrest and expel aliens, to authorize the de fense of merchant ships against French war vessels and to enable the president to borrow money.
 On July :, l79S, President Adams approved an act reciting that since treaties repeatedly had been violated by France, just claims for reparation refused and a system of predatory violence" had been pursued by the French government, the United States were "of right freed and ex onerated from the stipulation of the treaties, and that these compacts should not henceforth be regarded as legally obligatory on the government or citizens of the United States.
 Later in the same year further pro- vision was made for augmenting the army, and George Washington accept ed the chief command
 The attorney general held that the acts of France and the Legislation by congress gave him the opinion that there not only existed "an actual maritime war between France and the United States, but maritime war authorized by both nations"
 The difficulty with France was not settled for many years. Thirty years later France agreed to pay 25,OOO,O 900 francs to satisfy American claims, al though many years before that time
