recognition usual in such eases lias been ac

Apart from tho war iu which the island em

cultivate more liberal Intercourse with us and
to srok our kindly uid in tlie furtherance of
her iauuble desire for complete autonomy in

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

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

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

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.
Althougti Die alien interests -arrayed against
Nicaragua It. those Iran-;c tions have l.t-en
largely Ameri- an and the commerce of that
region ha t.'eeli for stnne time and still is
chielly controlled by our citizens, we eannot

1 regret tkiit in this midst of these occur

tating failure of Nicaraguan justiee. An
Americiiu citizen named Wilson residing at
Kama, in the mosquito territory, was mur
dered by one Anglllo. tlie uefing gov,rnor of
tlie town. After some delay the murderer was
arrested but so insecurely I'onlini tl or guarded

have felt constrained to testify tills sympathy

gently preferred liy other powers. Tlie recent
death of tiie t.'zar of Kussia called forth appro-
piiitte expressions of sorrow ami sympatliy ou

As a further demonstrutioD of respect and
frien.lsbii> our ininNter at St. I'etersburg was
dlrecteil 't> represent our government at the
funeral ceremonies. The sealing interests ot
Kussia in Behring sea are second only to nm
