O.MAIIA , March 18. To tbo Editor of Tup
Ben : Mr. Webster , the secretary of state ,
writing to Mr. Caldoran , the Spanish minis-
or , under date of 1851 , among ether things
said : "Tho assembling of mobs happens in
all countries ! popular violence occasionally
breaks out everywhere , aettinfj law ntdell-
mice , trampling on the rights of citizens and
nrivntomon , and sometimes on these of pub
lic ofllcors , and the agents of foreign govern
ments , especially entitled to protection
'In these cases public faith and national
honor require , not only that such outrages
should bo disavowed , but also that thopor-
pot raters of them should ho punished
whoieyor Ills ixwsibloto bring thoin to Jus
tice ; and further , that full satisfaction
should bo made in cases in which a duty to
that effect reats with the government , accord
ing to the general prlnciulcs of law , public
faith , nnd the obllpatilon of treaties. "
And further on in the same coircspondenco
the distinguished lawyer and statesman said :
"Wlillo this government has manifested
a willingness and determination to perform
every duty whiih one friendly nation has a
right to expect fiom another , In ci os of this
kind , It supposes that the rights of tlio Spun-
Isa consul , a public ofllier , residing hereunder
under the protection of the United States
govermnonturo quitodifferent fiom these of
tlio Spanish subjects who have come into the
country to mingle with our own citizens , and
hereto pursue their private business and
object * . 'Iho former may claim sped d in
demnity , the latter are entitled to such pro
tection as is atToided to our own citizens
While , therefore , the losses of Individuals ,
private Spanish subjects , are greatly to bo
regretted , jot It la understood that many
American citizens suffered e < iual losses from
the same causo.
" .Ana these nrlvatclndlvlduals , subjects of
her Catholic majesty , coming voluntarily to
icsidolti the United State' , have certainly
no cause for complaint If they are protected
by the same lawand the sntno admlaistiation
of law as imtlvo born cltbonsof this country. "
And Mr. "Webster concludes by saving ! "The
casom.iybo a now one , but the president
being of opinion that Mr. Labordo ( the con
sul ) ought to bo Indemnified has not thought
It necessary to search for precedents. "
Mr , Fish , secretary of state , writing to the
American minister at Brazil lu 1875 , instruct
ed the minister upon the liability of Brazil
where some imperial ofllccr or agent connives
at mob violence. Mr. Fish said : "It Is the
duty of Brazil , when she receives tuo citizens
of a friendly state , to protect the property
which they carry with them or may acquire
there , If persons in the service of that gov
ern mont connive at or Instigate allot for the
purpose of depriving a citizen ofthe United
States of his property , the imperial govern
ment muat bo hdd accountable therefor. "
Mr. Evnrts in 1878whon , secretarv of state ,
writing to Mr. Olbbs , minister at Pom. said !
"A government Is liable internationally for
damages done ID ulion residents hy a mob
which by duo diligence ) it could have re
pressed. " But the luarnod secretary makes
no effort to dollno what "duo diligence" is.
In 1S30 certain British subjects were in-
Jurel by a mob in Texas. Jt was
held by the secretary of state , Mr. Kvarts ,
after consultiup the attorney general , that
the offense was against the pe-ico nnd dig
nity o ( Texas , and tint thoInjuicd bad their
legal remedy against their assalluuts In tbo
state and national tribunals , and that tbo
matter was cognizable only by the authori
ties of that state.
Mr , JoCterson , while secretary of state
under President Washington , wrote to Mr.
King , nmonp ether things : "Tho rule by
which all governments conduct themselves
la cases vhoro Injury has been done by indi
viduals of 0110 to individuals of the other
government is to leave the injured party to
seek redress iu the courts of tha otner. If
that redress bo finally denied , after duo ap
plication to the courts , it then becomes a
subject of national complaint. "
Substantially the same instruction was
given hy Mr. Monroe , secretary of state in
181.r > , and by Mr. Clay , secretary of state In
18ar. The oolnloa of Attorney General But
ler lu 18i7 ; holds "Whore aliens suiter vie
lence from citizens of the United States , ia
their persons or property , they must appeal
to the courts for redress ; to the state courts
if the offense Is a criminal one , and to the
state or fedeial courts for rediess by civil
action. "
But Mr. Evciett , secretary of state in 1853 ,
wrote to Mr. Marsly , minister nt Turney
that "tho rule that n claimant for redress tor
Injuries sustained in a foreign country , must
flrs.t exhaust judicial remedies in such coun
try does not apply to countries of imperfect
civilisation , or to cases in which pilor pro
ceedings show gioss perversion of justice. "
And in 18 jS dtl-sens of the United States
were massacred at Jaffa audthoTusltlsli gov
ernment , having taken no cfllcicnt measures
to punish the assassins , the commanding
ofllcei of our &quadion in the Jledltcn.uiean
wasordcied "too ropiir to Jaffa und to take
such measures as may lie ia his power to in
duce thu Turkish authorities to iiitiiit upon
the ctimlnals the punishment they &o richly
desoivo. "
In 1SSO , at Hock Springs , Wyo. , twenty-
eight Chinamen were killed outright and lit-
teou were wounded , many wore driven from
their homes audpiopirty belonging to Chinese
subjects , to the value of $147,000 , destroyed.
President Cleveland la his message
to congress in speaking of the
liability of the government for this
Inhuman net of a mob , said. "Thatwhilst the
United States government is under no obliga
tions , whether by the express tormi of Its
treaties with China , or the principles of In
ternational law , to Indemnify these Cliineso
subjects for losses caused by such moans and
under the admitted circumstances , " yet In
view of the awful Inhumanity and "wholly
gratuitous" ho recommended payment.
And in a communication to the Chinese
minister , dated Foluuiiry 18 , IbSD , Mr. Bay
ard , then secretary of shto , discusses the
lawand facts of the case nlth a high moral
ity and \\lth complete and exhaustive loiiin-
ing and among other tilings , after stating
thut the mob uas compassed entlielyof for
eign Inborors , ho said : "Tho doctrine of tliu
iion-llabllltv of the United States for the acts
of Individuals committed In violation of its
laws is clear as to acts of its own citizens ,
ami a fortiori in respect to aliuus whoiibmo
the prlvlloKo accorded thorn , of residence

ern Visit.
Collector . H. Alexander has returned
from a two months trip to the cast during
which ho visited Washington , apondlnp thrco
days in the city of masnlllcent distances , in
looking after matters pertaining to his oMco.
He then proceeded to dls old homo in Nor
wich , Conn. , stopping1 In Philadelphia nnd
Now York , en route.
Spcakln of his trip Mr. .Alexander sild :
"My trip was both plcasantand profitable.
.All thcofllclals whom 1 encountered in the
ticasurv department wcio oxcoodlugly cour
teous , making my two ortlireodays of busi
ness a real recreation. I called first upon
Major liraclcett , thief cleric , u pou whom. I
desired to uigo the necessity of dropping a
lot ofora out traps from the federal bullcl-
ing's Imrontoiy , and to arrange for the ro-up-
holstoilng oftheso dilapidated lounges , and
the hangiue o new curtains. If nothing
happens to chan go my plans , you will see a
change about these rooms bcforo long.
"Peinaps the most important of mror-
rands to Washington % vas in connection with
the importation of ores from Mexico and the
establishment of some basis for liquidating
entries fov Council Bluffs goods , without
compelling the merchants to ship them over
the bridge and back again.
"Under the now tariff act notable changes
have been niiido necessary in tue valuation
nnd entry of lead ores. The department Is
sued circulars , moroof an attvlsorj character
than mandatory , for tuoeuiihnco Of collec
tors , in the light of such Information as could
then bo obtmnod , ICxperiauco lias shown
that some modifications should bo made ,
cannot explain the matter to you fully , be-
ciuso It Is n long story , only to bo definitely
determined by the secretary of the treasury ,
after careful consideration. Pending such
decision sulllclentlatitudo hai been permitted
to ease matter * tip very materially , and I am
hopeful that a great part of the shipments of
ore to the smelters here , will corno directly
through in bond , Assistant SecretniTV'
Spauldlnjjho is In chorsjo of * the customs
department , requested mo to put my MOWS
in writing nnd send them on to bo tukert up
in detail when the secretary cois settled into
office.
"I was also fortunate In gelling
authority to perfect arroueoinnnts ,
hy which Council Bluffs Importers -will bo
greatly conveulonced. The seciotary is
thoroughly set ngilnst having thit city con
stituted a port ot del tcry. . or any other city
Mllh in easy reach of an already cstabltshetl
nort , hence It Is dcsIraWoto make the most
liberal arrangements possible , und this will
Uodono.
"I have also been authorized to arrange for
an examination room for the hotter carrying
on of our b'uslaoss hero In Omahl , and bo-
cured the appointment of my cleric , Mr.
Crumb , as guagernnd inspector , making the
vorUiuitfouo in the ofilco inoro completely
