THE ENGLISH ARGUMENT BEGUN.
Sir Charles Russell Opens His Address
Before tho Boring Sea Tribunal


PARIS. May 10.-Attorney General
Sir Charles Russell, OF counsel for
Great Britain, before the Boring Sea
Tribunal of Arbitration, began his ad-
dress to-day in behalf or the British
case.
The court room was thronged with
English aud American residents OF
Paris and with visitors from abroad.
Sir Charles began by bestowing gener-
Gus praise on the arguments OF Messrs.
Carter and Coudert, of counsel for the
United States. as full OF intellectual al
lurements. Nevertheless, Sir Charles
went on TO say he thought that Mr.. Car
ter's line of argument had taken him
into the misty clouds Of metaphysical
and ethical discussion which had no
bearing on the case.
Sir Charles Russell commented on
what he called Dir. Carriers remarkable
contention that moral aud natural law
were an interchangeable term for the
international law. His tSlr Charles
Russell's) conception OF international
law was that II did not depend on moral
considerations but on the consent OF
NATIONS. i,
TIE counsel for the United States had
dweIt Laon the cost OF Alaska and the
value of that territory 10 the United
States on account OF the seals, but at
the time Of the purchase OF Alaska the
United States did not take the seals
into consideration. :,
This statement by Sir Charles Russell
led to lengthy discussion as &c TIE
correctness OF the assertion. Baron De
Courcel, President Of the Tribunal. Ar
bitrators Harlan and Morgan, and the
Hon. Z. ]. Phelps, OF counsel for the
United States, took part in the discus
sion and brought out various points re-
Iatng to the purchase Of Alaska.
Referring to Canada's Intervention
In the BeriDg sea negotiatians Sir
Charles remarked that as the American
colonists were not silent regarding I'm
perial measures affecting themselves
when Lord North was the Salisbury OF
the period, but vigorously asserted the
colony's right to speak, so they should
not reproach Canada when she acted
similarly. He Indignantly repudlated
the charges impugning the impartlality
OF the British Commissioners.

nURDERER Ko RLE FOUND
Supposed TO Have Been Killed by His
Companion.

Companion.
SING SING, y. Y, May 1O.-The body
OF Frank w. Rohle, who with Thomas
Pallister, escaped from the death house
in Sing Sing prison on April 90, was
found this morning in the Hudson river,
directly across the river from Sing Sing.
The body was found by three fisher
men. State Detective jackson and
principal keeper COnnaughtOn identi-
fled the body by means Of picture and
the prison shoes which the dead muir
derer wore. The body was very much
decompoSed. Fisherman Cronk says he
thinks he saw another body further
down the river, but did not go after it,
as he had the body of Rohle in tow.
Searching parties are trying TO find the
body OF PalliSter in the river. When
the body was washed IL was found that
Rohle had been shot in the right side Of
the head, and the supposition is that
Pallister shot him in order to facilitate
his own escape.
The autopsy revealed wound in the
right side OF the head made by bullet
that penetrated the skull and passed
through the brain and lodged on the
left side Of the head. There was also a
fracture Of the skull two aud half by
two and a half inches wide. Tue YER
dict Of thu jury was:
IF Roehl came TO his death between
April 20 and May 10. in WestcheSter
county, \. Y, from bullet wound and
fracture Of the skull produced by per-
son or persons to this jury unknown,
and supposed TO have been done by
Thomas Pallister, who was in company
with him while escaping April 90 from
the condemned cells in Sing Sing pris-
on
Roehl was dead before he struck the
water.

permanent chairman Of the Republican
National Committee.
Resolred. That the executive committe e
aforesaid and its officers selected in New
York, July 19, 1892, are hereby continued
in Office.
The resolution was unanimously adopt
ed.
After this MIR. Carter was called back,
and he once more assumed the duties OF
| chairman.

caused oy the following resolution, offered
| by II. C.. Payne, Of Milwaukee,;
! ReSolued. That basis OF representation IN
| the next Republican National Convention

| cast in each State for the Republican Elec-
toral ticket at the election Of 1892, and that
each Territory and the District OF ColUm-
bia be entitled to two delegates providing
that no Congressional district shall have
| less than one delegate.
| The discussion ended by laying the reso-
| luton on the table by vote OF Is to III.
| Mr.. Payne then moved that the resolu-
ton be taken from the table aud discussed
at the next regular meeting, and the mo-
ton prevailed. a resolution, reciting that
no debt shall be incurred binding the com
mittee unless authorized by vote OF the
