Special to the RECoRp-uN1nN.

PARIS. May l6.-Sir Charles Russell re-.
sumed his argument to-day in behalf of
the British case before the Behring Sea
Tribunal. Sir Charles argued the seizure
OF British vessels in Behring Sea was not
Justltlable, and reviewed at length the
origin and nature of the rights transferred
by Russia to the United States in 1867.
Sir Charles claimed the ukase Of 1899,
IN which Russia asserted jurisdiction over
her subjects on all hunting grounds and
establishments on the coas: of America.
from the 55th degree, north latitude, to
Behring Sea, thence southwark to Japan.
and on the Aleutian, Kurile and other
islands in all the northeastern ocean, ap-
Piled only to Russian subjects. The ukase
OF lo2l, in which the Czar laid claim to
exclusive jurisdiction over the northwest
coast of America down to the 5lst degrea
south, together with a considerable por-
ton OF the opposite coast of Asia and
neighboring seas to the extent of 100
Italian miles from any part of the coast
and the intervening islands so appropr1~
ated, had, Sir Charles pointed out, elected
earnest protests, both from Great Britain
and the United States, and subsequent
treaties recognized the pretensions of
Russia to exclusive jurisdiction over the
waters of the BehriEg Sea untenable.
Hence the right derived from Russia by
the United States was merely to an or
dinary property right in the soil, not in
seals.
Sir Charles endeavored to prove from
the language between Russia, England
and the United States that Great Britain
never departed from her objection 10
Russia's claim of exclusive Jurisdiction
in Behring Sea, and Behring Sea was not
mare ctauSuDl, but that all nations had
right to free navigation in that sea. Sir
Charles incidentally REQUIRED to forged
interpretations in the Russian documents
to sustain the American case. He said
he was sorry if ne unintentionally caused
umbrage, but he would have to make
further allusion to the forgeries, as not
until the forgeries were discovered was
the claim Of property in the seals
elaborated.

THE DISPUTE SETTLED.
Mackay's Physicians Compromis
Their RIIIS

Mackay's Physicians Compromise
Their Bills.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 16.-The Chron-
fcte says compromise has been effected
over the disputed physicians bills pre-
ferred by DR.. Keeney and DR.. Morse
against John w. Mackay for extracting
the Rippey bullet and attending him
during his resultant Illness. Kee-
ney's charge was $500 and Morse's
$1,000. The former agrees to accept S., 900
and the latter $1,000. Keeney made forty
five visits and Morse twenty-six. 1t is
said the settlement was reached through
the offices Of Richard Dey, private secre-
tary to Mr. Mackay. The millionaire at
first declared in most emphatic terms he
would not pay the bill, nor anything like
1t, and the physicians were equally firm
in their determination to secure their full
charge or nothing. Tins matters stood
when Mr.. Mackay left for the East. Since
then Mr.. Dey's diplomacy has been
brought to bear. All parties have ac-
cepted the terms of the settlement and
the dispute is happily ended.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
Consideration Of the Irish Home Rule
Bill Resumed.

Bill ReSumed.
LONDON, May 16.-The Commons re-
sumed consideration of the Irish homo
rule bill in committee to-day. Hon. st.
John Broderick moved to amend the bill
so as to empower the crown in response to
address of the Imperial Parliament
Prime Minister Gladstone opposed the
amendment. He said just as the acts of
the British Legislature are subject to re-
straint through the intervention of the
crown, so the acts of the Irish Legislature
would be subject to restraint on the inter-
vention Of Victoria.
Balfour suggested that final decisions
on the point be deferred until later stage
in the bill, but the amendment declined
to agree to an adjournment Of the House
over Derby Day.
Sir Henry James moved an amendment
that the supreme power Of the Imperial
Parliament remain undiminished by any
proviso of the home rule bill"
Gladstone declined to consider the
amendment, but eventually agreed to ac-
cept it, on condition that its place in the
bill be determined by the Government.
The amendment was then approved
