The San Juan Question-An Eugllfth
View.
From tho London HUmlsrJ.)
Tho ininortunco of the nendinc- ar
bitration on tho Alabama claims has
a tendency to distract puuue atten
tion from tho other branches of the
great Anglo-American lawsuit. A
telegram from Berlin, however,
which has been published, cannot
out exact tnc cunosty ot nil wno arc
ovon slightlv acquainted with tho
subject to which it relates. Tho Em
peror of Germany Is tho arbitrator
appointed to settle tho long standing
San Juan dispute, and It Is now an
nounced that tho memoranda of both
tho English and American Govern
ments in rcferenco to this difficulty
liavo been placed In ills hands. As
tho United States' ease In rosiiepr, nf
tho Alabama claims lias been made
nubile through tho medium of the
minor case will have an interest only
second to that referred to the Geneva
Commissioners. As for tho magni
tude of tho Interests at stake tho San
Juan question is ono of far inferior
imimrtance to that on which tho
Alabama arbitration mutt turn ; hut
in its bearings on International Jus
tice the far Western dispute is
worthy of attentive examination.

!1. That it should boa hanging of

that fines and dlsfranchismcnt should
follow in such places.
1. Thnt tho smoking of cigars to
excess should bo forbidden, and tho
smoking of pipes utterly abolished.
5. That tho wife should havo the
titlo of her own property when she
marries a man that hasn't any.
