cial says the proposition for the adjonrn-
ment of the Arbitration will occupy the

longer, as the purpose of the session on
Monday is to lear the argument of both
sides many delicate points will also be
raised for the judge to decide.

the British claims has been laid before
the Arbitrators is not to be credited

papers and came unprepared to present
any. The proceedings were meagre in
point of detail.
The American argument was resent
ed to the court in an octave volume of

for an adjournment without a specltica-
ton of any fixed period. The Ameri-

presentation of the final papers is not
according to the proceedings laid down
in the Treaty regarding a con ingency
which they will not broach without in
s,ructions from their Government.
