routes as printed in the United States argu-
ment.
MIR. Phelps contended that the testimony Of
tho British Commissioners. sealers. and fur
Of tho herds occurs: on the contrary. he held
the evidence was conclusive that the herds did
not mix with each other
He also contendcd that the British claim

the evidence. and the claim was directly OPP
posed to the migratory habits Of the seals. Tho
evidence submitted by Great Britain that
some seals were impregnated while at sea was
evidence supported the American claim that
seals were bcgotten born. and reared on tho
islands. remaining there seven m onths in tho
year. and returning there with unfailinG regu-
larity. These facts. together with the nrotec.
tion Of the husbandry OF seals. gave the United

Persons who are connected with the race say
that everything will be rranged satisfactorily.
thut Berry is satiefed with the honor Of being
