Special to THE MORNING CALL.

PARIS. May 31.-Sr Charles Russell
concluded his argument iE behalf of the
British case before the Bering Sea tribu-
nal to-day. He said that this was the first
occasion upon which a nation had claimed
property In frep-swimming animal. The
contention was untenable, and its advance
was derogatnry to the freedom of the seas.
1t was an eXtravagant and unfounded pre-
tension that international law sanctioned
the seizure and condemnation of vessels of
friendly powers. Sir Charles appealed to
the tribunal to declare that it could not
make law.
In his peroration he dwelt upon the i'm
portance of the arbitration here submitted
to by two great powers, one representing
Old World civilization, great in its extent
of dominion and greater in its long endur-
ing traditions of liberty; the other a
young but stalwart member of the FAM
iiy of nations, great also in territory and
almost boundless in resources and in the
genius and enterprise of its people, and
possessing enormous powers for good in
the future OF the human race.
Their presence as friendly Iitigants is a
fact of great moral sign nificance and their
submission TO arbitration is a virtory for
peace, as the award will be if it leaves the
principles of International law untouched

CRIMINAL BY NATURE.
Heinous Crime Committed by an Ex-

SANTA Rosa, May 3l.-Deputy Sheriff
Frank Murphy landed Winfield Basham,
ex-convict in Jail here about O'Clock this
morning, and only the prompt action and
sagacly of that official prevented the
citizens of Guerneville from lynching
Basham.
Basham had been working at Guerne-
vile for some time. On Monday after
noon he made an assault on a little seven
year-old girl in that place. Screams
attracted help, and Basham. in the excite
ment. escaped out of the back window
Deputy Sheriff Murphy heard of the
trouble Tuesday. and DIT once started after
Basham. He had fled to the mountains.
but Murphy headed him off, and at the
point of rife compelled him to surrender.
Then Basham was secured and brought
to Santa Rosa. When Murphy arrived at
Guerneville. on the way here, he learned
that a number of citizens there had pro-
cured rope and were about ready TO
swing Basham from bridge over Russian
River. Murphy avoided them and came
at once to Santa Rosa.
Basham served a term in San Quentin
for cutting man, and is wanted in Santa
Clara County for serious crime. He is a
very desperate man, and is known all over
the State.

: NEW YORK. May 31.-The annual stock
: holders meeting and election of directors
: Of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
took place to-day. The meeting was of
particular interest to stockholders, as tile
newly elected board Of directors will elect
"a president to succeed George j. Gould,
who recently wrote a letter to the board
of directors declining a reelection. Gould
gave as an excuse for declining reelection
his other business required al his time and
attention. The following directors >were
elected Coils P. Huntington. Henry
Hart. Isaac E. Gates, Calvin S. Brice.
Samuel Thomas. Edward Lauterbaeh.
Russell Sage. George j. Gould and j. 3.
Houston.
The report of the operations for the year
ended April 80. 1898, was presented and APP
proved. 1t shows that the total earnings
have been S4I1S 473 90; total expenses,
81, 175, PA 81. leaving a net loss of S5l,-
740 6S. In his letter accompanying the re-
port President Gould says that this nu-
favorable showing ls due, in the first
place, to the quarantine at Panama dur
ing the cholera scare last autumn. and that
since the termination on February 1st last
of the contract between the Pacific Mail
and the Panama Railroad Company, the
company had been shut off almost en-
treiy from any participation in business
between New York and American points
on the Pacific.
This, of course, had reduced the earn
ings very heavily, while the reduction in
expenses will only begin to show from the
present time. as the operations of the CON-
pany's feet could not be reduced imme-
diateiy. Gould, in closing. reiterates his
determination of resignng the presidency
owing to the demands on his time from
other corporations.
The board of directors will meet Friday
and organize by the election of c. P.

LEARNED HIS LESSON
MIR. Olney's Opinion Comedies
With That of His Chief.
Under Certain Circumstances 1t
Becomes Incumbent Upon the
President to Issue Bonds.


New YORK, May 3l.-The Sun prints the
following: One of President Cleveland's
closest friends said yesterday:
In view of the different opinions as to
the Presidents power under the resump-
ton act concerning the issue of Govern
ment bonds, President Cleveland has had
frequent consultations of late with Atfor-
ney-General Oiney on the subject. The
President has always m aintained that he
had power to sell bond s. but arguments dis
uting this have come from such able
authorities that he determined to request
brief on the subject from Mr.. Olney.
The AttorneY-G neral favored the Pres
ident with an exhaustive statement. in
which he clearly sets forth his opinion that
the President has full power to issue
bonds.
In fact, Mr.. Oluey's opinion makes it
mandatory upon the President to act in
certain circumstances.
ROME, May 31.-The monetary situation
grows worse. The scarcity of silver is
paraIyZiug trade and the revival of forced
paper currency is believed to be inevitable.
The Parliamentary Commission to inves-
tgate tue reported completely of Italian
Senator'S and Deputies in scandals relat-
ing to the Banca Romano and other finan
cial institutions has resigned, on the
ground that the Chamber of Deputies
made valid the election of Aguglia, An
opposition Deputy. contrary to the advice
of the commission. The weakness of the
newly constituted Cabinet is aggravated by
this resignation.
The report of the Committe of Deputies
on the banking crisis has been published.
It's recommendations differ materially from
the provisions of the Government bill
on the same subject. While the bill
provides for the liquidation of the Banca
Romano through the Banca Italia, to be
organized for the purpose, and the paw
ment of 450 on every 1000 lire share of the
Banca Romano stock, the committee ad-
vises liquidation merely. without any paw
ments whatever to the shareholders. The
committee adds that the banks issue ought
to be prohibited from dealing in land.
and that the deputies should be for
hidden to hold any post, gratuitous or
otherwise, in connection with such banks.
LONDON, May 31.-Lord Herschelps COM
mittee, appointed to consider the currency
troubles in India and recommend means of
allevating them, held its last meeting
yesterday and signed a report. The Times
says, for fear of distur bing the market.
the Government will withhold the report
until after deciding how to give effect to
its recommendations.
