SUPPLEMENTARY BRIEF.
Prepared by Counsel for Canada in the
Bcring Sea Case.

Prepared by Counsel for Canada i'll the
Bcring Sea Case.
WASHINGTON, May 2.--Messrs. Choate and
Carlisle, counsel for the Canadian govern
ment in the Berng Sea case, have prepared
supplementary brief, in the nature of a
rejoiner to the brief of the attorney general.
In it counsel reiterate the assertion that
the seizure of the Sayward was without
warrant of law or under executive coEstruc-
tion of the revised statutes. Claim is made
that all courts are inferior to the
supreme court and subject to it's man
tion in the case, they say, is. Has tho
United States jurisdiction of the conduct of
foreign vessels i'll the waters of the Bering
sea more than marine league from its
shores?" After discussing the objection of
the attorney general to the examination by
the supreme court of the entire proceedings
of the Alaska district court, counsel say the
only question with which this court is call
ed upon to concern itself is that
of the jurisdiction of the district
court. Referring to the statement of the
attorney general that the claimant did not
applY-.for a writ of prohibition before SEN
tence. counsel says petitioner could not ap-
ply for want of time, the whole p-ocee iings
from libel to sentence being completed in
six days and at a time when the supreme
court was not in session. Counsel contend
ut length that there is nothing III the evil
dence to show that seals were killed within
the three mile limit. and they quote from
the evidence to prove that assertion. In
conclusion counsel assert that thCre can be
no doubt that the seizure was made without
reference to acts committed within three
miles of main land or adjacent islands and
under instructions of the secretary of the
treasury, which held all sealing east of the
one hundred and ninety third meridian r
violation of paragraph 1856, revised
