The BER|NG SEA COURT.
Opposing Counsel Start or With a
Tiff Over the Production of
Documents.
But to Avoid the Suspicion Of Sup.
pressing Evidence the Ameri-
cans Yield.
John ". Foster Says the Mistrauslated
Documents Wore Recalled, and All
Arguments Based ON Thorn.

PARIS, April Tho BerinQ sea court of
arbitration assembled to-day. Many Amor
lean ladies we're among tho audience. Sir
Charles Russell. Of counsel for Great Brit
ain. moved that Campbell furnish the
court copy of the report of Sir Henry
Elliott on the Bering sea question. The
motion was supported by Webster, also OF
British counsel, and opposed by Phelps and
Carter. of counsel for the United States.
Phelps said in his argument that the
United States communicated tho original
report In February. Carter contended that
the United States were justified in refusing
to produce the report asked for, but would
produce it in order to remove causes OF
British cavillinR. Sir Charles Russell then
demanded the production Of the Elliot re-
port. bssinR his application on
article of the treaty Of arbitra.
tion. Phelps, in behalf of tho
United States denied that the repott was
referred to in the American case. He said
it was simply refelred to in the counter
case. to which article four of the treaty did
not refer. Phelps further denied IL was ad-
missible In law that one party should have
power to force an adversary to produce any
desired to use them in evidence. The re-
fusal of the United States 10 produce the
document WAS not due to any desire to sup
press the report, but to the fact that II was
applied for too late for the American GOV
eminent to prepare its answer to arguments
that might possibly be based upon IL.
Nevertheless, he would produce the report
as he did not wish to enRender the suspicion
OF desire to suppress evidence, but after
this concession he would decline to produce
any further evidence.
E1-Secretary Of State Foster. American
agent for the Bering sea court of abitra-
ton, was questioned to-day in regard TO
| the erroneous translation of certain Russian
to uphold tho American case. Foster said
the errors Of translation had been discov-
cred by the United States government and
the erroneously translated documents with.
drawn, along with arguments based upon
them. and the British government informed
OF the facts. The insinuations Of British
newspapers were, therefore, utterly un-
founded and unworthy of atten tion.
After recess Carter submitted for consid-
| Grafton motion that the tribunal dismiss
from arbitration SO much Of EnQland's de-
mand as related to America. and contained
IN chapter nineteen. page 315, of the Brit
lsh counter case. referring to the expendi-
tures for the supreme court proceedings
The motion contemplated also the dis
missel OF the clause concerning pelaQic
sealers. Phelps moved the rejection of the
report Of the Boring sea commission. put
In evidence at the first meeting of the ar.
bitrators. His address was still unfinished
when the com mission adjourned until to-
morrow.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-There is good rea-
son to believe the senate will soon come to

matter of final adjournment will be speedily

ahead and organize, with the understand

hold until later, is meeting with favor
among those democrats who believe that
opposition to that course means pro-
