A SUGGESTION FOR INTERNATIONAL LEGISLATION. The increased activity of aeronauts in the last few years has suggested various legal questions, though careful consideration of them has been prac tically unnecessary. When, either by accident or de sign, injury is done to property by an airship, the ovvnei of the vehicle should be held responsible, though apparently no attempt has been made to assert the principle until very recently. A case of this kind, which is said to be the first on record, was tried in an English court a few weeks ago! The anchor of a balloon having come in contact with some telephone wires, repairs costing .?4 were needed, and the offender was obliged to pay the bill by a magistrate to whom a complaint was made by the Postmaster General. Several years ago an English judge, in w r hat was probably a hypothetical case, compared the movement of a balloon overland to the ilight of a rifie bullet, which did not actually touch the property. Doubts were expressed whether either could be prohibited if no damage was likely to be inflicted. Engineer ing, however, editorially emphasizes the legal doc trine that the ownership of land extends upward as well as downward from the surface, with its logical sequence that a man has as good a right to keep intruders from travelling through the air above his land as to eject them w'hen they set foot on his soil without permission. Extravagant as this appli cation may seem, it is probable that the courts will ultimately have to determine whether or not aero nauts who sail over private property are trespassers The writer of the above paragraph, for which we are indebted to the New York Tribune, seems to have forgotten that the area of a State com prises, not only the surface of its territory—in the literal sense of the word—the space underlying it, and the air-space above it, but also the sea bordering it. Now it is a recognised legal fact that the bor dering sea belongs to the respective State for a distance of three miles out. This limit was fixed by the Anglo-French treaty of 1867, on the basis of the distance which firearms can carry, or rather could carry then. It seems obvious that the air should be treated like the water, and that, there fore, the jurisdiction of a State should extend only as far as that State is able to protect itself against hostile invasion of that air-space—from land, of course. The case of war it is naturally needless, to consider, for then a State will object to any observation from above, and that with all means at its disposal. But in times of peace it should be internationally recognised that any craft—airship, aeroplane, or what you will—should be allowed to cross over a foreign State at an altitude securing it from being brought down by a missile discharged from the territory of that State. The air-space beyond that altitude should be free, and in view of the rapid progress of aeronautics, it is desirable that an international conference should be called at an early date to discuss and agree upon some such basis as suggested in the above. We cordially invite our readers to vent their opinions on the subject in our columns. fl ID C a< ^ vance d styles ^ now ready— AT POPULAR PRICES Retail and Wholesale.

Earl Roberts’ Bill in the House of Lords in favour of compulsory service in the territorial army was thrown out today by 123 votes to 103. The Duke of Northumberland’s amendment, recognising the ne cessity of a strong territorial army, was adopted. Among the speakers, the Earl of Crewe and the Marquis of Lansdowne opposed the Bill, while Lord Curzon and Lord Milner supported it. THE NEW GERMAN CHANCELLOR. THE ITALIAN PRESS ON PRINCE BOLOW. Rom, July 13. The Popolo Romano, in an article oh the retire ment of Prince Biilow, remarks that the toast pro posed by the Prince at the farewell dinner exhibits his greatness in a brilliant light. The journal goes on to speak of his activity in the domestic policy of Germany; and to express admiration of his modern ideas, his uprightness, his administrative pi inciples, and his parliamentary adroitness. The ai tide concludes: “We must now declare our grati tude and say a cordial word of devotion to the man who for ten years of international policy has given peace to Europe and performed services which surround his personality with a halo of sympathy that will never fade. Perhaps no country, except ing Germany, owes so much gratitude to Prince Biilow as does Italy, to whom he has always been the warmest, the most convinced, the most sincere of friends. In Italy he spent his holidays, in Rome he will probably make a longer stay; he should be welcomed. The sympathy of the Italians, which accompanied him in his rise to political power, will follow him with undiminished warmth in his retire ment into private life.” This tribute to the former chancellor seems to us a fair one, inasmuch as it extols his successful endeavours to maintain and strengthen the peace of Europe. His Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to appoint as Chancellor of the German Empire His Excellency Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg, hitherto Minister of State. THE NEWPORT DISASTER. GREAT BRITAIN AND GERMANY. London, July 13. A meeting of members of the International Ar bitration and Peace Society held here today passed a resolution earnestly requesting the British Govern ment to communicate with the German Government with the object of putting an end to naval competi tion and of establishing a cordial understanding similar to that existing with France. THE INSURRECTION IN COLOMBIA. „ . ^--Washington, July 14. The State Department lias received a telegraphic report from the American Charge d’Affaires at Bo gota that order has been restored at Baranquilla. The blockade of the town has been raised and the traffic on the Magdalena river resumed. The death-roll in connection with the Newport dock disaster has been reduced by one, as a man reported to be missing, whose name was included in the official list, has now been found. According to a London contemporary, he was working at the bottom of the trench when the disaster occurred. He saw men rushing about for ladders, and, either too surprised or too wise to join the rush, he stood perfectly still in the midst of the ruin. As the timbers tilted over they formed an arch over him. He heard the rattle of the falling earth, the creaking and groaning of timber, but remained where he stood till the movement ceased. When the col lapse occurred he was just about to light his pipe, and he kept the box of matches in his hand. At the end of half an hour he struck a match and took his bearings, and began to make his way out. For hours he worked his way upwards, and at last, in the early hours of Saturday morning, practically unobserved, he emerged. He never reported himself, and disappeared till Monday. He has been roaming in a semi-dazed condition, but he turned up on Monday morning, and it is expected that his story will prove among the most interesting features of the adjourned inquest. MRS. ROOSEVELT’S VOYAGE.

FLOODS IN THE TYROL. Paris, July 13. In spite of the decision of the Senate, in favour of allotting two regiments of Artillery to each Army Corps, the Army Committee of the Chamber of Deputies has resolved to recommend that the number of regiments shall be three. A later telegram of the same date states that the Chamber has passed Article 1 of the Bill for the reorganisation of the Artillery by 447 votes to 35, after fixing the number of regiments for each Army Corps at three; Innsbruck, July 13. Continuous rain has caused great damage in the Ziller valley. The swollen Alp torrent has washed away a bridge, destroyed protective masonry works erected last year, and flooded fields and meadows.
