LONDON, April 2s.-The Times, in dis.
cussing the Behring sea arbitration, says
it believes that the British advocates will
not reply to Mr. Garter's prolonged dis
cussion of interesting problems of philo-
sophy and natural history as affecting
seals, which only properly belong to the
question of regulations, II says that on
the question of rights Sir Charles Russell
will probably only examine in such way
as to avoid even the appearance of dis
courtesy to the United States, the grounds
upon which the American advocates claim
to travel SO far for the p"rpose of estab-
fishing contention which cannot be main
tanned uponany hitherto recognized princi-
pal Of international law.
