the Utopia's six passengers.
Some time ago a sack of flour was
stolen. Suspicion pointed to man who
was encamped near the summit A COM
mittee Of six was chosen 10 ferret out
and punish the thief These men went
to the tent of the suspected man and
found the missing sack. The manbeg-
sed for mercy, but the committee, sat-
isfied Of his guilt, decreed that he be
Immediately killed. The man was drag
ged from the tent and tied up tight TO a
pole. The committeeman stood or a
short distance and shot together. The
thiefs body was pierced in six places.
Feeling their duty done, and sick or
their task, the vigilantes left a. once, not
even waiting 10 put the bleeding form
beneath the ground. For three days 1t
hung there in full view of those passing

SCOPE OF THE CONVENTION
Great Britain's Counsel Offer Arguments
for Lots of Room,

Halifax, y. s., Aug. 30.-Mr. Belique
; opened MS argument today before the
Boring Sea commission, speaking to the
question OF the scope OF the convention.
He referred to the seizure Of British
vessels, the imprisonment OF their crews,
and the hardship 10 these men, by the
United States. The case when brought
before the Paris tribunal. hes aid, was
decided against the United States on sew
eral points.
Mr.. Beique took issue in certain re-
spects with the statement Of the United
States brief that the scope Of the conven-
ton was limited by its own statements.
The speaker contended that the United
States was liable, by the decision of the
Paris tribunal, for all damages caused
by the claim Of that country 10 control
over fur seals. The admission of the
United States Of certain liability was an
Acknowledgement of the desire OF that
country TO make ample preparation for
any damage suffered by the action Of
that country. He called the attention Of
the commission 10 the fact that il was
agreed by a treay between the two coun-
tries TO submit to the convention any
case where thel liability was disputed.
This was covered by article Sof said
treaty. Under this section he thought
thai England was justified in submitting
any disputed case to the convention.
He cortended that Great Britain never
