The Post, com menting on the fisheries dispute, says that the main contention with Amer icans is that no nation has the right of jurisdiction over the sea beyond the three mile limit. On the Pacific, America is acting in flat contradic tion to any Buct principle of interstate or treaty rights. British vessels have been arrested outside their limit and their captains fined and crews im prisoned. In some cases the vessels and cargoes have been forfeited. America's Pacific claims form an ex cellent counter argument to Ameri ca's Atlantic claims, and as such will be of great and direct value to Mr. Chamberlain. Shanghai, Oct 18.

'The Salvation In the police court yesterday G. W. Wade was on trial charged with fight ing. Officer Whalen testified that he went into the salvation army barracks at 9:30 Sunday night and found Wade on top of a man whom he was hammer ing: that Wade was the one who was doing tho hammering. Chief Twom- bly testified that it sounded, before he went in, like a tornade: that Wade was thumping a young man named iVIcCann. C. . Chipman testified that the young man named SlcCann and a few others had been kicking up a row all the evening and had been asked by Wade to keep still, and when finally Wade tried to put one of them out, another jumped on his (Wade's) back, and that when the of ficers came in they took Wade. The defendant testified that he was de tailed by the "officers" of the "salva tion army" to keep erder: that he hauled the man up out of his seat and started to put him eut: that when the officers came in he said "Here, arrest this man:" that they didn't arrest the man he asked them to arrest, but took liim .and locked him up in jail and here he was. After this the court took a reces3 till 7:30 p.m. AND THE VILLAIN STILL PURSUED HER. At 7:39 the counsel for the defense, the counsel for the prosecution, the prisoner, the judge, three policemen, a cloud of witnesses and an interested crowd of spectators appeared and the examination was resumed: "Captain" Wills, a member of the "army," was the first on the" stand, followed by others, the testimony being somewhat disconnected, owing to objections on the part of counsel, who sustained their objections with argument of great force and precision. But the court room was presently but a sideshow, the main circus being down stairs. Abont 730 the usual procession started from the barracks, two girls in front, with tambourines; three men with torches bringing up the rear, the five singing songs of Zion as they trudged through the streets. They walked around as usual, and on their return to their headquarters halted and began to sing on Cass street, in front of I. W. Case's bank. Policeman Linville, under recent in structions, as he states, from the mayor, ordered them to move on and not obstruct the streets. This being refused, he insisted, and n second re fusal resulted in their being arrested and taken to the city jail, followed by a dense crowd of men and boys. They walked willingly, and with un broken song, and when tho doors clanged on them they first prayed loudly and then burst into louder strains of melody that drowned the voices of opposing conuscl in tho court room above. Judge Jewett instructed officer Whalen to make them be quiet, and he left remarking as he did so, that it would be a hard job. The two girls had their tambourines taken away from them and were locked in a cell, the three men being incarcerated in a cell ad joining. They immediately struck up a lusty tune and for probably the first time the jail was filled with five voices that proclaimed their fervent belief in the power of the Lord to save. Counsel for the defence asked what bail would be required for each of the ladies. Judge Jewett said $10. A gentleman who was present asked one of them through the little wicket iu the cell if they wanted to be bailed eut: the youngest said "Oh dear no," and asked one of the policemen if there were any lice in the place, for if there were any she thought they'd better keep their hats on. The police man reassnred them on that point and then they asked him to give their can dle to the poor man in the next cell: they did'nt need any candle. Alfred Zetterman, Chas. Johnson, and John Dee are the male members and Mary Rowe and Nancy Rowe the female members of the quintette. Later on the - tambourines were handed back they whooped it up till they were and tired. By 930 they had sung all the songs they knew and wound up with "What shall the harvest be?" The girls were told that it wasn't necessary for them to remain; that they would be allowed to go on their own recogniz ance, but the opportunity to pose as martyrs was too good to be los't, and they said they preferred staying where they were, and were resigned to suffer for the Lord. Upstairs the trial of Wade went on, a very large crowd being present and enjoying the fun. On the street the remainder of the circus paraded the streets, Binging, but the .chief attrac tion being in jail the performance did not attract the usual attention. Several witnesses were examined and at 10:15 the evidence being all in, the argument began: the case was thoroughly discussed, the defense ar guing -that they had a right to wor ship God in their own way and re press any disturbance on the part of thosB who saw fit to go there: the prosecution arguing that the per formance partook of the nature of a circus; that they went out i the street, drummed up a crowd, invited the boys in to havo a regular time and couldn't expect any thing else but that their antics would create disturbance. At eleven o'clock the judge said he would take the case under advisement till three o'clock this afternoon. By their parades and postures, their performances on the street and in their barracks, this gang of mounte banks invite ridicule and thrive on notoriety. Devoid of dignity and with the sole idea to make money, they do all they can to get men and boys to go to their meetings, and while it is to be conceded iu general that nny one has a right to worship in their own way, yet the widest lati tude of meaning given to the word "worship" will not justify such rows as they manage to get and seem in clined to have as a part of their way of making money. The gang of bood- lums who hoot and jeer and follow them is no better than they are, and if they would let the salvation army alone, the several memDers would find the salvation army business so unprofitable that they would quit A heavy, soaking rain would prob ably dispose of them as effectually as any municipal interference.
