PARIS, May 2I.-Sir Charles Russell
continued his argument in behalf of
the British case before the Behring sea
tribunal of arbitration.
Sir Charles Russelrs statement that
the American pleaders had cited the Of
fetal report of Mr.. III. w. Elliott. re-
cording his observations in 1s72-14,
caused an exciting passage at arms be-
tween counsel, which served to relieve
the otherwise mcnotonous character of
the session.
Mr. J. C. Carter interposed with the
assertion that the counsel for the
United States had avoided all refer
ence to Mr.. Elliott.
Sir Charles Russell said: THAT is an
awkward admission, seeing that the
United States congress appointed Mr..
Elliott commissioner after the con-
troversy began"
In reply to President Baron de Cour-
eel, Mr.. Carter explained that he mis-
trusted Mr. Elliott because Mr.. Elliott

NEW YORK, May 27.-R. G. Dun 4
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
In too ways there has been quite a general
Improvement during the past week. Better
weather throughout most q the country has
stimulated retail trade and the large distribu-
ton Of goods has made the 5obbing trade more
abated at many widely separated points.
Large loans solicited here week or two ago,
to provide for extreme emergencies In different
cities, have not been wanting, and threatening
failures at several points have passed without
causing much disturbance Yet the actual con-
ditions do not seem TO have changed materially.
The large demand for sdsscounts and advances
By western and southern banks, though consid-
ersbly abated, has been greater than eastern
bsnks could wholly meet There is no definite
Improvement In financial affairs abroad, and
the prospect on continued out-go Of gold fcz
some time to come has not altered
Speculative markets show comparatively less
activity Stocks have fallen on to some extent
from the rapid recovery Of last week. the aver
age being about 81 per share lower than week
ago Wheat and corn are both at the same
price as a week ago although western receipts
of wheat in four days have been Leo2 100 bush

corn receipts have been very large, with insig-
nificant exports. Mess pork is 3 cents higher,

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The treasury
department is preparing to pay the
Choctaw and Chickasaw claim Drafts
will be drawn on the sub-treasury in
St Louis in amounts to suit the con-

Indians having the matter in
charge and paid at st. Louis in
such money as the Indians may de-
sire. They have expressed a wish that
a large portion of it be paid them in
silver half dollars, as the money is to
be divided up per capita among the In

has ring to it rather than paper. To
accommodate them a large supply of
newly coined silver half dollars has
been forwarded to st. Louis to meet the
drafts presented.
