JUSTICE HARLAN TALKS.
An Address to Law Students on the
Bering Sea Tribunal.

Mr.. Justice Harlan delivered a most inter-
esting lecture in the hall of Columbian Law
School last evening on the subject of the
Boring sea arbitration tribunal. which met
In Paris this year, and of which the justice
was member. Mr.. Harlan referred at
the outset TO the pleasant character of the
personal relations which existed between
the members of that tribunal and referred
in most complimentary terms to the other
members of that body. He then proceeded
to explain that the members of the arbi-
tration board from this country and Eng
land were not sent there for the purpose of
uphoiding their respective nations In the
positions which their governments had
taken, but to act simply as judges and to
render their decision conscientiously and
in manner justified by the evidence and
law in the case.
The members of the tribunal were most
cordially entertained by the French peo-
pie and made to feel perfectly at home
during the progress OF their important
work. The tribunal was given the courtesy
of place of meeting in the office of the
minister Of foreign affairs.
The speakers allusion to the friendly feel
ing which has always existed between this
nation and France since that nation as
sisted us in gaining our independence was
greeted with applause.
Mr.. Harlan then proceeded TO give a &C.
scrlptlOn OF TIE nome or the seal and his
tory of the sealing industry.
He explained the habits of the fur seal
at some length and showed very plainly
how the methods adopted of late years. OF
killing seals on the high seas would in a
short time result in the determination OF
the species
The great question, said the speaker
which the tribunal was to decide was wheth-
er the United States had a right to pro-
tect these animals which were born on
American soil, namely the Pribiloff Islands
and whose custom was to return every
summer 10 these islands.
Mr.. Harlan then presented the questions
which were submitted to the tribunal for
decision.
He touched lightly upon the consideration
or the first four and then took up the dis
cussion of the fifth. This question was as
TO whether or no the seals were the prop
erty OF the United States.
The speaker held that according to a
principal of law wild animals which were
homed and protected and which were in
the habit of going and returning were the
property Of the individual or nation which
thus cared for them. He further held that
where IL is possible for one TO get the in
crease of wild animals without destroying
their stock that person becomes the own
er. And aside from their property in the
seals the speaker held that the United
States had a right TO go on the high seas
and protect its industries.
The lecture was listened to by an inter-
ested and appreciltive audience of the la
students and their friends and the plat
form was occupied by members of the fac
ulty of the university.

THE DISTRICT RECORDERsHIP.
The President Said to Have Given
an IntimatiOn on the Subject.

AAS TEebIOent So1O 10 nave ulSen
an InttmatiOn on the Subject.
1t was learned at the Capitol today that
q member of the House who called at the
White House this morning received an in
timation from the President concerning the
fecordership Of deeds, which will be of in
terest to persons concerned in this office.
In the course of the conversation upon the
appointment of a recorder of deeds the APP
pllcatlon of ex-Congressman Frank Lawler
for the place was mentioned. 1t is said that
the President replied that while he enter
tanned great consideration for Mr.. Lawler
ne does not feel that he can appoint him to
this office
The President then proceeded to explain
mis- position. 1t is said, by the statemen,
that the recordership of deeds is an office
usually given either 10 a resident of the Dis
tr1ct OF Columbia or to a colored man, and
as Mr. Lawler is neither of these he is not
available timber for the place.
From the conversation 1t is said that the
inference may be drawn that the President
In Milling this Office may either select a
white resident Of the District or a colored
man either from the District or outside of it.
