The point is left in doubt, by. Reuter's message published in another column, on AUSTRIAN LLOYD'S STEAM NAVIGA- the subject whether the decision of the Privy Council in favor of Japan, In the historical Ravenna- Chithima Kan case, hoa been in the principal suit or in the suit commenced by the survivors of the crew of the Chishima, and the relatives of the poor fellows who were lost in her, against the P. and O. Company for compensation under Lord Campbell's Act. In the latter case the question was as 10 their right to proceed at all; in the former the question under appeal was as to the jurisdiction of Her Majesty's Courts inJapanto entertain the counter-claim fled by the owners of the Ravenna against the Japanese Government for the damage done to their steamer. It is difficult until further detalls come to hand to judge precisely the meaning and effect of the judgment of the Privy Council. Many points were raised and contested in the appeal to the | Supreme Court at Shanghat against Mr. Mowart's judgment and It may have been affirmed on one of the many technical points involved in his original decision.
