Tho capture bv British cruisers of Clormnn merchant x pa eels all over the world since tho ! sinning- of the European war has raustd I if Admiralty to revive that ancient Instil i tlon, the prize court. The cnpturi'ii m - eels, now held by the Government, imi-: be disposed of and the proceed. : -cording to precedent, will be proi it- J among the men who made thn np' '' Not for GO years has n prlr.e eouit t In England. The last wan In 15SI. iti tin Crimean war, when tho fate of the 1.1 u cade was dccldiM. In the ears of th present generation, half forgetful uf n. possibility that this country miitht mi again bo swept Into a huno Internal 'or i' str iegl, tho expressions "pH2e muii' and "prlo of war" havo a remob iml unfamiliar sound. To many the an nouncements of the prize court slttln-a at ihe lloyal Courts of .lusilce probably roii "vey little dcflnlte meaning, Booty means spoil tulcen from the ei -my on land. Ptlze means ship or Kinds taken on the water. The first Is a sim ple affair. A belligerent Is In possession of certain property: his conqueror takes it from him, nnl thero it no more to be said. Prize Is much more 'implicated. The capture of a ship may Rive rise to all sorts of questions affecting natlor s who nro not at war at all, and whose rights us neutrals must be respected. It is here that tho need for adjiidlciitti.il arises, and It is In order to settle all such questions and to decide in each Instance whether the capthp is or Is not lawful prey that recourse Is had to a prize court. RULES FOR SEIZURE. TVhen n ship belongs to the enemy it Is almost always lawful to take her. There ato a vtry few expoctions. A fishing boat Is exempt, and so Is a small lopal trading vessel, and n. mission ship, and n ship con veying exchanged prWotn-rs of war. Apart from such trilling and falr'.y obvious ex ceptions, u ship sailing under the colors or pass of the enemy mav always be taken either in our own waters or on the hlght seas. It Is when a vessel tiles a neutral flag that difficulties begin. If the neutral flag was hoisted aboard an enemy ship wltnout a bonntlde sale and delivery to a neutral, completed by the payment of the purchase money, there Is no trans fer of property, and the cnvt',y ship is an enemy ship still Again, a ship, the undoubted property of a neutinl. may be violating her neu trality. She may have committed n breach of blockade. She may have abso lute contraband on board goods, that is to say, that are deemed specially adapted for warlike purposes. Or she may be conveying conditional contraband ifoods rendered contraband h the ship's desti nation. If n neutral ship Is bound for an ordinary commercial port, a cargo not specially warlikp will be presumed not to be Intended to aid a belligerent, but to be Interned for civil use only, whereas if the destination be a military or naval stat'on a precisely opposite conclusion will be drawn. Moreovcvthe neutral ship may lose her character by conveying military or navnl officers or carrying a !ielllirient's dispatches. In sui h evi nts she Is lla'do equally with the avowed enemy to be cap tured anywhere except within the teiri torlal waters of a neutral State These are a few of the points that may be connectod with the cip'ure of a ship at sea. Hence the importance of the rule that the matter shall be brought promptly Into court for nrti'idlentlnn, so that the vessel may be condemned If nor capture was rightly macle. or that reatl lution may bo ordered In tho event of any mistake having been comm!ttol. Tho hearing Itself Is necessarily 'itilt-j unlike any .Tdlrnty lsnl frx : '.In;:.

Irish Fusiliers, Furious at Or der to Abandon Guns, Like Beasts Drag Them to Safety. LONDON. Sept. 19. Describing the four days' battles nround Mons, a wounded noncommissioned odlcor says that the wonder was that the llrltlsh troops en mo out of It ns well as tlioy did. Referring to the retreat of tho Brit ish and tho loss of some heavy guns, he said: Halted out in tho open, with weak infantry supports doing their best to stny the onward rush of the bluish gray clouds of Germans, tho aitil lerjmen suffered terribly. Gorman marksmen picked off tho horses ono by one, and thPii when tho Germnn cavalry swooped down the men could not get tho guns away. In one case, where the German Lancers swooped down and killed tho last man of our battery, tho situation was saved by a couple of companies of an Irish Fus ilier battalion tho Ministers, 1 think who rushed at the Germans with fixed bayonets and put them to flight, while the enemy's artillery poured a merciless Are on them. Many of tho Germans around tho battery were killed, and, of course, tho losses of our men were not light. The Fusiliers wero furious when orders came that they were to aban don the guns, as no horses wero avnllnlile. You could sey tnem cast ing hnlng eyeti on those guns, all thu r?st of tho day, and at night when tho time camo to fall back tho poor devils wera dragging tho guns with them, having captured a few flermnn hnp ,-in . ijpppntrt theni hy men who were willing tn beeomo lwirts of burden for tho time.
