NEW PRIZE COURT.
CARRIED BY THE HAGUE CONFERENCE. (By Cable;— Stress Association.—Copyright.) THE HAGUE, September 11. The first sub-committee of the Peace Convention, by twenty-six votes to two, with fourteen abstentions, including Japan and Russia, adopted the international prize court proposals, and agreed to the previously arranged distribution of judges. Japan declared that the subject required careful consideration, and that the new institution must necessarily influence national jurisdiction. t Russia's abstention was based on the incomplete nature of the legislation relating to prizes, and the necessity for further consideration, partic__L_rly of article 7, which declares that the court must judge according to international law in the absence of any convention between the parties, and according to the general principles of justice and equity, should the rules of international law not apply. Delegates are delighted at the creation of the prize court after so many initial difficulties.
