As to what the amount to be paid as compensation may be nothing is yet stated, but if it strictly coincides with the original payment it should not be much. It may be pointed out that though the decision only refers to Prince Su, as he has already abro- gated all rights of the said property to the Russian authorities in the Russian Conces sion, the compensation money really goes to them. Thus both parties are satisfied, and in a measure the decision might be called a compromise. Still, the right of our action is established which is the main thing, and the property remains under British control, which is of still greater importance. The
