srIs-rur QUESTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS
IN THE SEALS ~ BEHRING SEA
Paris. Nav ll.-N the session of the Behring
Sea Tribunal of Arbitration to-day Sir Charles
Russcl resumed his argument. which was largely
devoted to the technical features of the contro-
vcrsv. He argued that il was impossible that
there could be property rights in the seals in
Rohrinc Sea. and he supported his contention
with quotations from American jurists, and in
D,rticnlar from Professor Woolscy's writings on
International law. Sir Charles dwelt on the far
reaching effects upon international rights that
would cnsIe from comforting the power, claimed
bv American counsel in behalf of the nlted
States 10 seize foreign vessels il time of peace.
Sir Charles urged that Great Britain represented IN
this controversy the rights of nations
In dilating upon the seizures of Canadian YES
solo bv the Americans for seal catching IN Behrhg
sea. Sir Charles insisted that the seizures ha'
heen made or the high seas without previous

r,tarv of State. had never tried 70 Justify '"c
s.;znres on the ground that the United States had
property in tie seals.
The alteration which followed this assertion ny
Sir Charles was so hot that il threatened to put the
whole arbitration in jeopardy. Sir Charles ku'-

high spirit and occasionally with bitterness.
Sir Charles Russell got excited and angry, ana
declared that the Interruptions by Senator Morgan
and Mr. Phelps were uncalled for. senator
Morgan and Mr.. Phelps declined to guaran-
,cc that the United States would accord damages
for seizures, even if the Tribunal decided a9aihs'
them. Lord Hannen exclaimed:
Then our whole arbitration Is useless, ana the
whole question will he rcopencd.
Finally the lihiculty was adjusted temporarily
by the decision that the discussion of the ques-
ton OF liability should lie osiponed.

which embraces countless gems in pot

The Government building is in excel

most all of the exhibits being in place,
and thus far this building, whose archi.
tectual defects have been so loudly de-
cried by the worlds fair sculptors, is
the center of a great deal of interest
on account of its varied and extensive
display. Two of its most striking
features are tho big redwood tree of

worlds fair has brought out some
master workmen and has set a new
mark in the western world of progress,
and its beneficial effects will be felt in
our midst from this time forth. Our
people will be educated, our land will
be beautified and our homes will be
frightened through the noble efforts of
our artists and sculptors. Nothing pre-
sented at any of the previous worlds
fairs can surpass the works above men,
toned. and Chicago has reason to be
proud of her achievements in this line.
There were some queer sights to be
seen about the grounds on the opening
day. People in some instances had pre-
pared themselves against the weak
nesses of the flesh and the cupidity of
their fellows by Juggling out lunches,
folding chairs, etc. They paused
wherever hunger or WEAKNESS over
took them, and, seeking some out-oi-
the-way place, planked themselves
down for n feast or n rest. Men
waded about with chairs under their
arms. and women and children carried
baskets and parcels containing eat
ablea of every description from Dill
pietles y sugar bonrbonA They were
The Colfax chronicle., 1893-06-17

the building, and the biggest cannon
in the United States.
Among the other buildings the Fish
cries is more nearly completed perhaps
than any. The aquarial display is no
doubt the finest ever seen in this coun-
try. In each end of the beautiful build
ing are the tanks containing myriad
forms Of piscine life. among which are
specimens mere glimpse of which is
well calculated to thrill the beholder
with wonder. This exhibit has been
thronged with visitors every day since
its installation, and no wonder, for it is
indeed an attractive sight to behold
the denizens of the deep sporting in
their native element all unconscious of
their nearness to their natural enemy,
man.
Affairs in the Transportation build
ing are as yet in a very unsettled state,
but there are nevertheless some very
interesting exhibits exposed to public
view. For instance, an immense trip
hammer in the southern end of the
building towers away up to the high
roof almost, having the appearance of a
mountain of iron in its great bulk.
This, however, is deception, as the
monster hammer is made of wood black
ened over to resemble the metal.
All the buildings were thrown wide
open to the world on the opening day,
and notwithstanding the incomplete
The Colfax chronicle., 1893-06-17

under which things are now being put
to rights it will not take many days to
get every detail completed. The build
ings themselves may be said to have
been completed on the opening day, the
only drawback to finished exhibition
being in the exhibits themselves; and
when it is remembered that many of
them are to come from distant lands
across frozen seas due allowance will be
made for all delays.
In the Manufactures building are q
number Of signs over spaces allotted to
foreign countries notifying visitors Of
delay in the transportation of exhibits,
notably those of Norway and Russia.
In each case ice blockades and unfavor-
able weather have caused delay of
five or six weeks in the passage, thus
rendering it an impossibility for them
to be ready for the opening. No time
will be lost in forwarding these ex-
hibits when the roads arc opened, and
we may expect to find them all in place
in the course of few days.
There is, however, much to interest
one even in the chaotic state which pre-
walls in the larger buildings. In the
Manufactures and Liberal Arts build
ing, which in itself is sight worth
travelling the world over to see. some
of the booths and stalls are marvels of
mechanical execution and artistic ex-
cellence. The department of Germany
is exceedingly rich and handsome and
