THE P. M. STEAMER "MONGOLIA.”

The Japan Mail says the Pacific Mail steamer Mongolia, 14,500 tons, which arrived in Yokohama on 24th alt, on her maiden trip to the Far East, is a magnificent vessel in every respect. Built originally for the Atlantic trade she was acquired, when nearly finished, by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for their rapidly developing Orien al service, and there can be little doubt that she will soon become one of the most popular boats on the run.

plaining that ships have been carrying from Shanghai to Japan such cargues as beans, wheat, sesamum seeds, cabbage cakes, and other kinds of eatables, and as Russia and China have agreed to consider the above articles as contraband during time of war, the Consul General considered it his duty to prevent their exportation and requested him (the Tantai) to investigate into the matter and give a reply. As he (the Commissioner) was about to reply to the Taotai in order that the latter might answer the Russian Con-ul General, be (the Commissioner) again received a communication from the Tantai stating that he has received from the Wai-wu-pu through Viceroy Wei the principle that should govern the question under discussion, that is, when the above mentioned goods are destined to parts within Russia, or Japan, the exporters must give a guarantee that they are to be sent to any place within the fighting sphere, and that they export them at their own risk if captured by the belligerents, then neutral them, as permits are issued to nations have the right to trade with the belligerents in ordinary commercial goods, as long as said goods are not sent to any parts within the fighting sphere.

was meant for aliens and not for American

citizens, and to keep those who claimed citizenship in a house of detention was "harsh and arbitrary." Justice Brewer refered to the Treaty with China which declared that the Chinese shall have rights given to the citizens of the most-favoured-nation.

"I am not surprised," he said, "that China has denounced that Treaty. China once look- ed upon this country as her best frient fall this is to be reversed, and this most populous nation on earth becomes a great antagonist of this Republic, the careful student of history will recall the words of Scripture, They have sown the wind, and shall reap the whirlwind,' and for the cause of such antagonism need look no further than the treatment accorded during the last twe ty years by this country to the people of that nation."

Justice l'eckkam concurred in the dissenting opinion. The Chinese inva ved sought to enter the country at Malone, N, Y. The re- sult of the decision is to sustain the action of the inspectors. The decision affects about 315 Chinese now in detention, 200 being at Malone, N. Y., and many at San Francisca.
