as to the right of search (Art.

22), as to the two-fold list of contraband (Arts.
34-36), as to the moment at which the liability of a blockade-runner commences (Art.

44), and as to the capture of private property (Art.
14), although the prohibition of such capture has long been favoured by the Executive of the United States, and was advocated by the American delegates at The Hague Conference.

So also Arts.

34-36, by apparently taking for granted the correctness of the rulings of the Supreme Court in the Civil War cases of the _Springbok_ and the _Peterhoff_ with reference to what may be described as "continuous carriage," are in harmony with the views which Lord Salisbury recently had occasion to express as to the trade of the _Bundesrath_ and other German vessels with Lorenzo Marques.
