| That they arc not to meet in st. Louis. with

| PARIS. May 31.-Sir Charles Russell con-
cluded his argument In behalf OF the Britief
case before the Behrine Sen Tribunal OF Ar5i-
tration to-day. He said that this was the first
occasion upon which nation had claimed
property In n free-swimminE animal The
contention. he declared. was untenable. and
its advancement was deroGatory TO the prin-
ciple OF freedom OF the seas.
He said that It was an extravacant
and unfounded pretention that interna-
tionnl law sanctioned the seizure and
condemnation OF the vessels Of friendly
power. Existing international laws were an
effective and noble instrument to serve the
Just purpo OF mankind in the adjudication
OF their rights He appealed TO the tribunal
to declare that It could not make law.
Sir Charles in his peroration dwelt upon tho
importance Of the arbitration here submitted
to by the two great powers. one representing
old-vorld civilization. great in extent OF do
minion and greater in long-enduring tradi-
tions OF liberty. the other u. rounC but stall

At the close OF Sir Charles Rnsselrs address
tho President OF the Court. Baron de Cource.
spoke in complimentary language OF tho
ability and eloGuence which Sir Charles had
displayed in his protracted argument.
Ex-Attorney. General Sir Richard Webster
followed Sir Charles Russell in uehalf of the
British case. Sir Richard insisted that the
questions of rights and regulations were dis
tinctly demarcated by treaty. -
He went over Sir Charles KusselPs ar
guments In support of the British claims.
He urged that the Russinn uknse OF
1902. dealing with the const OF America and
the islands. aud giving commercial privileges
to the Eussian- n-Amcricnn Company. did not
close Dehrinc sea to foreign nations: and even
the American documents. Sir Richard said.
proved this. He ridiculed the idea that the
exclusion OF vessels 100 miles from the coast
was not an exercise OF sovereign jurisdiction.
He quoted from Chancellor Kent to show
that the closing OF Behring Sea Was con-
trary to international law. He next dealt
with the Anglo-Russ!an treaty Of 1925.
in which Russia recognized the right OF
Great Britain to navigate and fish in
all parts OF the non-territorial waters over
which the Hussian uknse purported to extend.
and he argued that the term Pscino Ocean"
used in the treaty included all the waters
