THE SEALING QUESTION.

Paris, May 11.-Sir Charles Russell
today resumed his argument in the
Bering sea tribunal of arbitration. Sir
Charles in dilating upon the seizure of
Canadian sealers by American vessels,
for seal catching in Bering sea, insist
ed that the seizures made upon the
high sea were made without previous
diplomatic eXpostulation. Bayard, when
secretary of state tried to justify the
seizure on the grounds that the, United
State had property in the seals. Here
followed a sharp exchange of contra
dictions between Senator Morgan the
American arbitrator and Sir Charles
and 70. j. Phelps. Sir Charles got eX-
cited and angry and declared the in
terruptions uncalled for.
The alteration during Sir Charles
address was so hot that it threatened
to jeopardize the whole arbitration.
Sir Charles Russell, Senator Morgan,
Lord Hannen, Baron de Courceol, Mr..
Phelps, and Justice Harmon spoke with
high spirits and occasionally with Bit
terness Senator Morgan and Mr..
Phelps declined to guarantee that the
United States would accord damages
for seizures even if the tribunal decid-
ed against them. Lord Hannen eX-
claimed, "Then our whole arbitration
is useless and the whole question will
be re-opened." Finally the difficulty
was adjusted temporarily by a decis-
ion that the discussion of the question
of liability be postponed,
