THE BERING SEA CASE.
Mr. Choate Concludes His Argument Before
the supreme Court.

MI. Choate Concludes His Argument Befor,
the supreme Court.
Mr.. Jas. H. Choate today concluded the ar
gumen. begun by him yesterday in behalf o.
.:e petitioners in the Bering sea case. Tn,
court room was again filed with spectators anc
the space within the bar was occupied by we'll
known lawyers and Congressman.
He submitted that if the court reached thu
point that it had the right to grant the appli
cation it did not matter whether it was politi
cal or q judicial question in the present aspec,
Of the case.
The court must permit them to file the appli.
cation, which was the only point here now
for future consideration whether or not the
court would be compelled to refuse the writ.
Justice Brewer.-'.bo you complain Of not
being heard?"
he COMPLAINS OF NOTHING.
Mr.. Choate-I complain Of nothing. I only
insist on our right to be heard on just such
questions as that Of Jurisdiction. He main.
tanned that the case was made q judicial
one when the vessel was brought into
the Alaska court and must be heard on
appeal. He insisted that there could
be no difference between q court OF
prohibition and appeal; it was q difference OF
favor and not of substance. This last state
ment was made because of intimations from
Justice Bradley and other justices that they
thought mistake had been made when the ap-
peal taken by the owner Of the Sayward some
time ago was dismissed on motion Of counsel
Mr.. Choate in proceeding with his argument
in support of his contention that the private
rights of party could not be made to wait on
the slow proceedings Of diplomacy, asked il
a claimant to q share in the French spoliatious
award could be compelled to wait q hundred
years on diplomacy for his claim.
THE wEn-L'ABRA CASE.
Attorney General Miller interrupted him
with q citation from an opinion Of the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia in the We'll
and La Abra claims case in which it was held
that the Secretary Of State could properly with
hold the payment Of the award while the mat
ter was in negotiation between Mexico and the
United States.
Mr.. Choate closed his argument with . dis
cussion Of the point raised by the Attorney
General that it appeared possible that some
seals might have been caught within the three
mile limit. he was frequently interrupted by
the court, Justices Brown and Brewer particu-
larly directing attention 10 the question
whether, In case the libel on its face showed
that the Alaska court had jurisdiction, whit Of
prohibition Lie.
Mr.. Choate insisted that il could and for the
reason that until the fact was established that
seals we're killed within territorial waters the
Alaska court could not have Jurisdiction and
no false statement made in . libel by treasury
agents or others could give Jurisdiction.

with new engine that was built in AL

Townsend built the engine and the whole
