PARIS, April 6.-The morning session OF
the Bering Sea Court of Arbitration was
dull, even the elcaueuee Of such DIeaders as
Attorney General Russell and j. Carter
failing to awaken interest. Even the men,
bers of the court seemed bored, and It was
noticed the august head of Sir John
Thompson, one Of the British arbitratars,
frequently nodded. suggesting an awful
suspicion that he was tempted TO slumber.
Sir Charles Russell continued his argu-
ment in reply to the objections of Hon E
J. Phelps, counsel for the United States. to
the legal character of certain evidence Of
fered by Great Britain.
In his closing answer 10 Phelps proposal
to exclude the supplemental report of the
British Bering Sea Commissioners Sir
Charles Russell contended that the ObIec-
tions of the United States to the report on
the ground that it was not subject to control
or ross-examination applied equally TO a
large mass of evidence in tho United States
counter case. In conclusion Sir Charles
urged upon the arbitrators the necessity of
determining the question of right befors
de aling with the regulation of the seal
fisheries
In reply Carter sail that it was not the
custom of the American bar fnr counsel 10
introduce his own personality into case so
as to lend weight to his arguments, there
fore he. himself. would not follow the ex-
ample set several times by counsel for Great
Britain. He pointed out that when the
United States delegates arrived In Paris the
case. so far as argument was c0ncerue ed, was
finished and both the cases and counter
cases had long been closed. The United
States Government is of the opinion that is
has much reason to complain of Great Bril-
aims conduct in the case, but this had been
passed over. 1t believed that the only
thing to be done was to return the docu-
ments as the time for submitting new eyi-
dence was long past.
