BERING SEA ARBITRATION.
Sir Charles Russell Concludes HI
Exhaustive Argument.

Sir Charles Russell Concludes His
Exhaustive Argument.
PARIS, May 3l.--Sir Charles Russell
concluded his argument in behalf Of the
British case before the Bering sea
tribunal of arbitration today. He said
this was the first occasion upon which
nation claimed property in a free-swim-
ing animal. The contention was un-
tenable and its advance derogatory to
the freedom of the seas. 1t was an ex-
travagant and unfounded pretension
that international law sanctioned the
seizure and condemnation OF the vessels
OF friendly power.
Sir Charles appealed to the tribunal
to declare that it could not make law.
In his peroration he dwelt upon the inn
portance of the arbitration here sub
mitted to by two great powers, one rep
resenting old world civilization, great in
extent of domain and greater in it's en-
during traditions of liberty; the other,
a young but stalwart member OF the
family of nations, great also in territory
and almost boundless in resources of
genius and the enterprise of its people,
and possessing enormous powers for
good in the future of the human race.
Their presence as friendly litigants is q
fact of great moral significance, and
their submission to arbitration victory
for peace, as the award will be if it
leaves the principles of international
law untouched.
Attorney General Richard Webster
followed Sir Charles, substantially going
over the lstter's arguments.
