FATE OF THE SEALS.
1t Now Remains With the Court
of Arbitration.
Phelps Closes the Final Address
Before the Tribunal at Paris.
Compliments Exchanged.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

PARIS, July 8.-Hop. E. j. Phelps of
counsel for the United States finished mis-
closing address before the Bering Sea
Tribunal of Arbitration to-day. he op-
posed the British proposal to establish a
twenty-mile zone. within which sealing
should be prohibited, basing his objection
on the inefficIency of the proposal and
upon the impossibility of setting the limits
of the zone effectually.
Proceeding to compare the present Brit
ish proposals with those made by Lord
Salisbury, he was interrupted by Sir
Charles Russell of counsel for Great
Britain, who said Lord Salisbury denied
having made the proposals referred to-
Phelps replied by reading Lord Salisbury's
dispatches. He showed that Lord Sails
bury had only receded after Canada had
interposed.
Phelps then resumed his argument in
support of the American proposition to
prohibit pelagic sealing over the entire
route followed 5y the seals in their migra-
tions. which route, he said, extended as far
as San Francisco. II the arbitrators, he
said. did not recognize that the United
States had property rights in the herd,
be necessary.
At this point a long discussion took
place concerning the disposition of vessels
seized. and whether they should be taken
to the nearest American port or to Brit
ish port.
When the discussion was finished Phelps
proceeded. He charged that the British
desired the tribunal to protect the pelagic
hunters. and did not aim to secure the
preservation of the seal herd.
Phelps closed his plea eloquently. Every
word was listened to with the closest at
tention by the large audience. America" :"
he said. stood on the justice Of her case"
He dwelt at some length upon the moral
Importance OF the tribunals decision.
From this decision. he said, the only ap-
peal was to the judgment of civilization
and history.
Baron de Courcel, president of the
tribunal, cOmplimented Phelps upon his
skill and eloauence in discharging the diff
cult task Of closing the debate, and said:
81 beg to be allowed 10 consider the
laurels which you have won at this cosmo-
poIitan bar as fair addition TO the wreath
If honors you have conquered in other
fields of the Old and New World"
Sir Charles Russell Of counsel for Great
Britain expressed gratitude for the cour-
tesv of the court Mr.. Phelps concurred.
adding that the Presidents part in the
case was one of those happy memories
which formed the best Inheritance of de-
clining years.
The arbitrators will hold private m eet-
ing Monday.

"Disfigured
For Life"

Is the despairing cry of thousands
afflicted with
UnSightly skin diseases.
Do you realize what this disfigura.
ton means to sensitive souls?
1t means isolation, seclusion.
It is a bar to social and business success.
Do you wonder that despair Seizes
upon these sufferers when
Doctors fail,
Standard remedies fail,
And nostrums prove worse than use
less?
Skin diseases are most obstinate to
cure or even relieve.
1t is an easy matter to claim to cure
them, but quite another thing to
do so.
CUTICURA REMEDIES
Have earned the right to be called
Skin Specifics,
Because for years they have met
with most remarkable success.
There are cases that they cannot cure,
but they are few indeed.
It is no long -drawn-out, expensive
experiment.
25c. invested in a cake of
CUTICURA SOAP
Will prove more convincing than
a page of advertisement.
In short
CUTICURA works wonders,
And its cures are simply marvellous.
