State for the Colonies :-
We are glad to find, however, that it seems probable Japan will adopt the modern methods of dealing with prizes and aholish prize-money. Up to quite recently it has been regarded as a
legitimate device by civilised Powers to issue authority to private vessels known as pri- vateers, which were simply pirates protected by law, to prey upon the enemy's shipping as possible and do him as much harm
Even by this system of licensed theft, the properly commissioned ships of war obtained profit from their captores, the vessel heing surveyed and her value apportioned, the amount of which was divided among the officers and crew. of the ship which made the capture. It was an evil practice, looked at from any point of view, and we understand

During the past year we have taken two important steps in the company's business, First of all, we have decided to withdraw from

THE DISPOSAL OF PRIZES.
It is interesting to watch the gradual evolu tion of international law and its approximation to the principles which animate the relations between individuals. Such a process seems to be going on at the present time with regard to the seizure of vessels that are not belligereals, but belong to the mercantile navy of the belligerent country. It is curious at first sight that there should be such a difference between property on land and property at sea in the casc of belligerency. According to
The flague War Regulations, in which both Japan and Russia are parties, neither requisitions in kind nor services can be demanded from commuLes or inhabitants "except for the necessities of the army of occupation," while all contributions in kind shall, as far as possible, be paid for in ready money, and, if not, their receipt shall be acknowledged. in another Article it is provided that" an army nf occupation can only take possession of the cash, funds, and property liable to requisition belonging strictly to the State, depots of arms, neans of transport, stores and supplies, and, generally, all movable property of the State which any be used for military operations." Furthermore, while railway plant, land tele-
graphs, telephones, steatners and other ships,
apart from cases governed by maritime law, may be seized in case of an occupation of ter ritory by an army, yet they must be restored
amy, enemy property at sea is subject to different roles from those which Serve 1 govern it on land, and is liable to capture ar confiscation wherever found on the high seas or in enemy waters. However, the advance of civilisation has had its effect even in this matter, and exemption from capture is now allowed by belligerents to esemy merchant ships which, at the outbreak of war, are on their way to one of their parts, and they also allow enemy merchantmen in their ports at its outbreak a certain time to leave them. It cannot be said, however, that
