The executive board of the Southeastern Passenger Association had re-elected Mr. Joseph Richai'4-son chairman by unanimous vote. Mr. W. W. Finley, second vice president of the Southern railway, was elected chair man of the executive board to succeed President Harry Walters, of the Atlantic Coast Line, who declined re-election. Mr. Finley was commissioner of the old Southern States Passenger Association, and is 'thoroughly informed on the details of association work. It will be remem bered that he was offered the position of vice president of the Southern while he was commissioner, and he resigned that place to go with the Southern at a hig'her salary. Later he resigned from the South ern and went back to the Great Northern railroad, but 'the Southern, a few months later, invited him to return at a still high er salary, and he accepted the offer and returned. He ranks with the ablest rail way managers of America. Mr. Richardson had no opposition for re-election. His service with the present association, as well as with its predeces sor, has given thorough satisfaction to the members, and he js the first commissioner in years who has not had some antagon ism for re-election. Mr. Richardson has unusual ability in dispatching business, ,gnd he has great success in keeping down dissensions between members of the asso ciation. A working contract was adopted yester day identical wj£h the one formulated a year ago in Atlanta and adopted later at the Washington meeting. Mr. Samuel Parrott was unanimously re-elected chairman of the Southeastern Freight Association, and Mr. McGill was re-elected secretary. No changes of im portance, if any >at all, were made in the contract. Nothing was heard at the asso ciation headquarters here yesterday in re gard to the New York meeting. Mr. Parrott was elected chairman last May to succeed Col. H. S. Haines, who re signed. Mr. Parrott has handled the as sociation affairs to the satisfaction of all the members, and it is conceded on all sides that there has been less friction among the roads during the past year than at any previous time since the old pooling days. Mr. McGill has been with the associa tion and its predecessors for years, and is one of the best posted men on traffic in the country. MRS.

You can talk to 10,000 every day through the columu of The Nova, PRIVATE RIGHTS IN WAR TIMES What Writers on International Law Have to Say on the Subject. CHANGES Os UTE W. How Nineteenth Century Civiliza tion Has Mollified the Honor of a Conflict, Just at this time the effect of a state of war upon persons, native and alien; upon contracts, property and trade, is a matter of great interest. The leading-authorities upon this sub ject are Henry Wheaton, Thcodoe D. Woolsly anad Francis Wharton, and from the works of these masters of in ternational law' the following information is extracted, which it wil be well for all to understand: During a states of war neither bel ligerants has a right to sue«in the courts or- mt other to enforce a contract or col lect a debt. The citizens of toe parties, of course, come under these same* prohi bitions. Contracts made with the enemy cannot be foeed in the courts of either na tion after the war is concluded. Interest does not thie on an enemy’s contract dur ing the continuance of a war, and i-t ap ing treatiers are exbrsjmnjsi xzltakovvko pears that the statute of limitations is sus pended when hostilitites continue. The . general rule as to the treatise is certain treaties are exempted from this that they are abrogated by war, but rule. Privateering treaties are an ex ample of such exemptions, and it is worth while to note here that neither the United States nor Spain is a signatory to the dec laration of Paris of 1856. The parties to the declaration, which include all the principle powers of Eu rope, agreed to abolish privateerin,g un less the conditions were Blade that the private property (not contrabrandj of all seizure on the high seas. This country took the ground that as loug as such nations at all times be secure from a small navy would be. at a great disad vantage. It is clear that this reasoning is sound, and the nations who do not support large navies are justified in calling merchant vessels to act as privateers. 'An ememy’s property after the war is declared may be seized wherever found, except when it is located in the territory of neptrals. It is not customary, however, in modern times to seize the ih’operty of noncombatants who are. subjects of the enemy temportarily docile’d. The usual practice is to allow all aliens, citizens and subjects of the enemy in cluded, to remain in the country of each belligerants tduring a sate of war. They may, however, be required to leave the country. Generally a certain period is fixed within which aliens may depart with their prop erty after war has been declared, and in case they leave the country within this specified time their property is safe from confiscation during their passage to their own or some other country. Strictly speaking, belligerants have the right, just as soon as war is declared, to seize and condemn each other’s ships and cargoes in their -respective ports as “droits of- admiralty,” but here again modern practices have established the custom of giving notice of the time when shipping must be removed. This time was fixed at forty days at the time of the Crimerian war. The ship of one billerant, if it sails before ware i* de clared, for one of the’ports of the other belligerant is safe from seizure. If. how ever, a ship sails to a neutral poM she is liable to seizure. 'During hostilities all inhabitants, na tive and alien, are compelled to discon tinue ail intercourse with the inhabitants of the country at war with the one in in which they live. They must observe that all business and trade between the nations tat war must stop. In case this rule is violated the mer chandise sought to be sold ot exehanged is liable to seizure. ■When living in a neptral nation, the ■ subjects of either belligerant may carry on trade whenever opportunity permits, and still be regarded as neutrals. The property of the citizens of either belligerant who live in the country of the other belligerant is looked upon as a part of the property of their adopted land, and, being regarded as such, is liable to the repriasals authorized by their native country until such time as they declare their national character.” The rule iu regard to the appropriation of private property for public use in case of .war is that, when it is thus taken the owner is to be fully compensate*! for his loss. Under these conditions every nation has a right to appropriate all prop erty within its boundries. The domicile of the owner usually de termines the nationality of a ship, unless the vessel sails un.-l .■ she flag and register of a nation other than the one in which the owner lives. The flag is not accepted as final pr. :f ; ,f the rationality of a ship, but her papers i. e., crew, list, shipping articles am! re icstei must be accepted as conclusive evidence of her nationality. •Belligm-ants are not entitled to search the war v<. si ■- of mutrals, and private neutral ships m i.y be only searched “fpr pci liable cause:” j’< rsons may not be taken from a neutral .ship while at sea on the groom! !!ri th ,v are citizens of the nation claiming them for the purpose of “impressment.” The captuw of an enemy’s ship does not, as is generally supposed convey any title to the vessel or to the cargo. The capture merely gives the prize crew an opportunity to take the ship into port and secure her condemnation by a competent court. The goods of an enemy on a ship, a neutral, may be seized, but the contra brand of a neutral on an enemy’s ship may not be taken. Contrabrand goods are seized wherever found.

For Week Ending Monday, April d, Given by Weather Man. “Atlanta, Ga., April 5, 1898.- The crop season of 1898 opens under the most fa . vorablc conditions, and at the date of ■issue of ihis, the fir. t weekly bulletin, general farm work is several weeks in ad vance of last year -and much ahead of nor mal. “Most of the corn land has been pre pared, a large percentage of the crop has been planted and much of it. is coming up with good stands. Some corn has been plowed for the first time.' A few farmers have done .some .replanting. About the usual acreage is being devoted to this crop. “As a.rule, gardens are doing well, but need more rain, especially in the son!hern counties. English peas are beginning to bloom. Irish potatoes are up and doing nicely in a few localities. “Light frost occurred in the northern half of the state on the 2d, but did little damage. It is the universal opinion that the fruit crop is safe so far. Peach trees have been loaded with bloom. In the more southern counties the bloom is dropping and green fruit has formed. “Preparations for cotton planting are being pushed r apidly and much of the land is ready for the seed. Some farmers have commenced planting, and with favorable weather conditions cotton planting - will soon be general. “Some pinders have been planted and watermelon seed are up and doing well. In 'a few localities some damage to this crop was done by frosts on 'the 2M. The I stand of rice is not very good on account ■of dry weather during the winter. “With the exception of •temperature, which has been rather low, and has slight ly checked the advance of growing vege tation, the weather conditions during the past week have been most favorable. Crops are already showing the beneficial influence of the recent rains, and should warm weather follow the rains a marked improvement will result. . “J. B.
