The recognition usual in such eases lias been ac corded then, w government under our present treaties of cxtravatlon with Italy miscarriages of Justice have occurred owing to the refusal of the government to surrender its own sub jects. Thus far our efforts to negotiate an uuieudeti convention obviating this dlilU'tilty has been unavailing. Apart from tho war iu which the island em pire is engaged Japan attracts increasing at tention in this country by her evident desire to cultivate more liberal Intercourse with us and to srok our kindly uid in tlie furtherance of her iauuble desire for complete autonomy in hor domestic affairs and full ciuallty in the family of nations. The Japanese empire of to day Is no longer the Japan of the past, and out relations with this progressive nation should not lie less t,road and liberal than those with other powers.

Mexico inis asked the punishn'etit of the late disturbers of her trainiuility. There ought to .e a new treaty of eommt rce and nav igation w ith that country to take the place of the one which terminated thirteen years ago. The friendliness of the iutereoursj between the two countries is attested by the fact that during this long period tho commerce of each lias steadily inereused under the r <le of mutual Consideration, being neither stimulated by con ventional at rangetnents nor retarded by jeal ous rivalries or selllsli distrust. An indemnity tender' d by Mexico as a gra cious act for the munh r In lss7 of Leon Hald- rvin nn American citizen le, u baud of marau ders in Durango has been accepted and Is be ing paid In installments.

Kising in the Colorado Height the stream Hews Intcrmltteully yield ing little water tlu ring the dry months to the Irrigating channels already constructed alotig its course. In its t nurse through level sands often raise embarrassing questions of territorial jurisdic tion. Uro-iilueiit among the questions of the year was the Blue Helds Incident, in what U knowuus tii•• Mosquito Indian, strip bordering on tic Atlantic Ocean and within the juris diction of Nicaragua. By the treaty of IHiK) bc- tween < .rent Britain and Nicaragua tho for mer govcrnni, r.t expressly recognized the sovereignly of the latter over the strip and a limited form of self-government was guaran- teetl to tiie Mosquito Intlltnis to l e exercisetl ueeordiug to tliulr customs, f ir them' Hcsaiid other dwellers witliln its limits. Tlie soealled native government,' hieh grew le he litret ly mado up of alions for many years disputed tin- sovereignty of Nicaragua over the strip and claimed the light to maintain therein a practically in,it |., lalent mmiiripnl government. Early iu the past y ar clloitsof Nieuitigin. to u:aiii'ain sovereignty over tlie J.t 'Squito ’.fifitory led to serious disturbances culmiuaiitig in tlie suppression of the native govennmm and the attempted substitution of an impructicablc inmposite aiiministrat on In whicli Nicaragua iilul alien tI'.sitleiil • were t> participate. Failure was followed by an insurrection wiiieh for a time subverted Ni caraguan full.', cxpoUiug her olllcers and re storing liit olti organization. This, iu turn, gave place to tho existing Incul government established and upheld by Nicaragua.
