Not for GO years has n prlr.e eouit t
In England. The last wan In 15SI. iti tin
Crimean war, when tho fate of the 1.1 u
cade was dccldiM. In the ears of th
present generation, half forgetful uf n.
possibility that this country miitht mi
again bo swept Into a huno Internal 'or i'
str iegl, tho expressions "pH2e muii'
and "prlo of war" havo a remob iml
unfamiliar sound. To many the an
nouncements of the prize court slttln-a at
ihe lloyal Courts of .lusilce probably roii
"vey little dcflnlte meaning,
Booty means spoil tulcen from the ei -my
on land. Ptlze means ship or Kinds
taken on the water. The first Is a sim
ple affair. A belligerent Is In possession
of certain property: his conqueror takes
it from him, nnl thero it no more to be
said. Prize Is much more 'implicated.
The capture of a ship may Rive rise to
all sorts of questions affecting natlor s
who nro not at war at all, and whose
rights us neutrals must be respected. It
is here that tho need for adjiidlciitti.il
arises, and It is In order to settle all
such questions and to decide in each
Instance whether the capthp is or Is
not lawful prey that recourse Is had to a
prize court.
RULES FOR SEIZURE.
TVhen n ship belongs to the enemy it Is
almost always lawful to take her. There
ato a vtry few expoctions. A fishing boat
Is exempt, and so Is a small lopal trading
vessel, and n. mission ship, and n ship con
veying exchanged prWotn-rs of war. Apart
from such trilling and falr'.y obvious ex
ceptions, u ship sailing under the colors
or pass of the enemy mav always be
taken either in our own waters or on the
hlght seas. It Is when a vessel tiles a
neutral flag that difficulties begin. If the
neutral flag was hoisted aboard an enemy
ship wltnout a bonntlde sale and delivery
to a neutral, completed by the payment
of the purchase money, there Is no trans
fer of property, and the cnvt',y ship is an
enemy ship still
Again, a ship, the undoubted property
of a neutinl. may be violating her neu
trality. She may have committed n
breach of blockade. She may have abso
lute contraband on board goods, that is
to say, that are deemed specially adapted
for warlike purposes. Or she may be
conveying conditional contraband ifoods
rendered contraband h the ship's desti
nation. If n neutral ship Is bound for an
ordinary commercial port, a cargo not
specially warlikp will be presumed not to
be Intended to aid a belligerent, but to
be Interned for civil use only, whereas if
the destination be a military or naval
stat'on a precisely opposite conclusion
will be drawn.
Moreovcvthe neutral ship may lose
her character by conveying military or
navnl officers or carrying a !ielllirient's
dispatches. In sui h evi nts she Is lla'do
equally with the avowed enemy to be cap
tured anywhere except within the teiri
torlal waters of a neutral State
These are a few of the points that may
be connectod with the cip'ure of a ship
at sea. Hence the importance of the
rule that the matter shall be brought
promptly Into court for nrti'idlentlnn, so
that the vessel may be condemned If nor
capture was rightly macle. or that reatl
lution may bo ordered In tho event of
any mistake having been comm!ttol. Tho
hearing Itself Is necessarily 'itilt-j unlike
any .Tdlrnty lsnl frx : '.In;:. Din. r
ence of laneunee, dNtam-e and the Im
practicability of coile tins foreign wit
nesses for cross-examination are all fac
tors which lulp to put anything Ilk- nor

Irish Fusiliers, Furious at Or
der to Abandon Guns, Like
Beasts Drag Them to
Safety.
LONDON. Sept. 19. Describing the
four days' battles nround Mons, a
wounded noncommissioned odlcor says
that the wonder was that the llrltlsh
troops en mo out of It ns well as tlioy
did. Referring to the retreat of tho Brit
ish and tho loss of some heavy guns, he
said:
Halted out in tho open, with weak
infantry supports doing their best to
stny the onward rush of the bluish
gray clouds of Germans, tho aitil
lerjmen suffered terribly. Gorman
marksmen picked off tho horses ono
by one, and thPii when tho Germnn
cavalry swooped down the men could
not get tho guns away. In one case,
where the German Lancers swooped
down and killed tho last man of our
battery, tho situation was saved by a
couple of companies of an Irish Fus
ilier battalion tho Ministers, 1 think
who rushed at the Germans with
fixed bayonets and put them to flight,
while the enemy's artillery poured a
merciless Are on them. Many of tho
Germans around tho battery were
killed, and, of course, tho losses of
our men were not light.
The Fusiliers wero furious when
orders came that they were to aban
don the guns, as no horses wero
avnllnlile. You could sey tnem cast
ing hnlng eyeti on those guns, all thu
r?st of tho day, and at night when
tho time camo to fall back tho poor
devils wera dragging tho guns with
them, having captured a few flermnn

Tho Infant was Mary Polllcomc. She
died at tho Jit. Slnal Hospital September

sho had been burned nt her homo while
her brother was playing with matches.
Chief Deputy C6ronor Sellers, who con
ducted tho Inquest, continued tho c.iso
until next Tucsdny and announced Hint
tha nurse at the hospital, who Is nllegod
to havo ordered the mother of the dying
Infant away, will bo subpoenaed. Tho
name of tho nurse was not mentioned nt
the hearing.
"That Is a very extraordinary state
ment," snld Deputy Sellers, after the
father had to!.! his story. "Arc yoil euro
