The Behring Sea.

The Behring Sea tribunal arbitra-
ton resumed its session May 2, Lord
Hannen, the British arbitrator, who
has been ill, being sufficiently recov-
cred to be present j. c. Carter,
counsel for the United States, main
tanned the rights of the United States
in the Behring Sea were absolute and
unqualified He argued over again
that the Government of the United
States was justified in protecting its
rights in those waters in time of
peace as well as any other time. He
claimed the United States had a
right to seize vessels caught in pela-
gic sealing. Assuming, argued Car
ter, the rights of property of the
United States were admitted as
claimed, was the Government of the
United States to follow vessels found
engaged in pelagic sealing home in
order to claim redress for trespass
against the municipal law? This, he
continued, would not only be ineffec-
tual, but would not comport with
the dignity of the United States.
No nation ever deigned to resort to
another nation for the enforcement
of it's municipal laws. The only
method open for the proper enforce
ment of such a law was the method
of force, and that was justifiable in
the case of the Behring Sea, on the
same ground as in the cases of rev.
enue and quarantine laws.
In his peroration Carter described
the slaughter of female seals heavy
with unborn young and other hor-
rors of pelagic sealing. To prevent
these horrors and to protect the seal
herds the United States had taken
the position which he had explained
to the best of his ability. The United
States had taken this position at the
risk of war with Great Britain, and
it had been ready to maintain this
position and thus discharge its duties
to humanity, even if it had been
obliged to face half the world in
arms. History would recognize it's
rights and the justice of it's cause.
The duty of the United States had
not been extinguished by the refer
ence of the dispute to the tribunal.
1t had been merely transferred. The
United States had withdrawn and
had left to the arbitrators the sacred
duty of forbidding pelagic sealing
and confining the seal-killing to the
islands. If the tribunal should de-
cline to assume that duty it will only
leave for posterity new source Of
contention. From the beginning to
the end Carter had spoken forty
hours.

BIG DEFALcAToNs,
Officers of tho Irving Savings Institution
Misappropriated $40, 800.

NEW YORK, June 14-Defalcations ag.
gregating 800 have been discovered in
the Irving Savings institution, 90 Warren
street, New York. The shortage was dis
covered by the state bank examiners, who
are still at work on the books, and will not
complete their work of scrutinizing the
banks accounts for some time.
The officers implicated by the statement
OF the examiner are Clarence D. Heaton,
Of Brooklyn, who was president of the in.
stitution and had overdrawn his account
to the extent of s27, 100; Secretary William
4. Buxton, of this city, and Paying Teller
ID. ID. Tompkins. After the defalcations
were discovered the designations of the
officers named were received and accepted
and the state bank superintendent, Charles
M, Preston, reported the facts in the case
to the district attorney.
Messrs. Stern and Russmore, counsel for
the Irving Savings institution, last night
gave out q statement in which tkey say
that $685. OF overdrafts made by w. H.
Buxton were made good by him by the
payment Of that much cash, and he also
gave first class security for the payment Of
any further sum which might at any time
be found to be due by him to the institu-
tion. About 81 200 was paid over to the
institution by Clarence d. Henton.
Under the circumstances There will be
no loss of money whatever to the institu-
ton. Even if it had made a loss of s45, 900
'tbeing about the balance of the deficiency
it could not in any wise effect the institu-
tion or its depositors, as the bank has now
clean surplus of s875, ,O0O."
Lawyer Stern said he could place his
hands on the ex-president. secretary and
paying teller whenever required to do so,
but that the case is one for the district at
torney to act upon.
Tompkins is 60 years of age and had
been with the bank more than twenty
years. Mr. Heaton and Mr.. Buxton had
each been connected with the bank for
about thirty years. Superintendent Pres
ton says that the defalcations had been
going on for ten years. Tompkins said that
he had used the money he abstracted for
living expenses. and Heaton said that he
had lost $4,000 by going on the bond of
Lawyer Cohen, who was associated with
the Cassie Brooks case.

MISS BORDEN LEAVES THE ROOM

Relics Listen to the Medical Evil
dence Relating Thereto - The Case
Against Her Still Lacks Force.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 14-Another
big crowd was present at the Borden trial
yesterday, and all the seats in the court
room were occupied some time before the
court opened. Mr.. Adams continued the
cross-examination of DIR. Dolau, who de-
scribsd the positions Of the bodies and the
bloc spots, and said the blows came from
left to right, and were of moderate force.
The prisoner sat with closed eyes and a
fan over her face The blows were made
by sharp instrument, and some on Mrs
Borden by an assailant astride the body.
DIR. L. S. Wood, of Harvard Medical col
lege, described the examination of the
stomachs. lie found nothing to indicate
disease or irritation In either stomach
and their contents showed difference of
an hour and half in the time Of DEATH
There was no evidence of poison IN tho
stomachs or in the milk used by the family
on Aug. and 4. Examination showed no
blood on the hatchet or axes, or on the
blue dress. The hair found on the hatchet
was not human. The white skirt showed
small blood spot, which probably came
from the outside and was human blood.
The prisoner left the court room shortly
after the beginning of the afternoon ses-
sion, not wishing to hear the medical tes-
timony or to sec the skulls, which were
produced by tho government.
BY examination of Mrs Borden's skull,
DR.. Wood was enabled to assert positively
that the cutting length of the instrument
used on the skull was three and one-half
inches. He demonstrated this fact by a
piece of stiff tin, which he inserted in sew
eral of them and showed that there was a
good ft He said the small handleless
hatchet could have been used in making
the wounds. Witness considered these
blows to have been produced by hatchet
or some sharp cutting instrument; in his
opinion the blows could have tecn caused
by woman of ordinary strength. In the
opinion Of witness the assailant of Mrs.
Borden stood over her, while the assailant
of Mr.. Borden stood behind him.
David w. Cheever, of Boston, physi-
cian and surgeon Of 35 years. experience,
testified that he had been shown heskulls
of Mr.. and Mrs. Borden. and had since
studied them with view of determining
the character and effects of the blows. He
believed Mrs Borden died first. The in
| juries on the bones were made by q heavy
metallic instrument with sharp edge not
more than three and half inches, such as
a hatchet. He had examined the handle
| less hatchst, and assuming it had handle
| of ordinary length. he thought it would
make the wounds. Witness thought the
assailant of Mrs. Borden stood face to
| face with her when the scalp wound was
made, and the others were made when the
| assailant was astride of the victim.
