BERiAG SEA SEIZURES.
The Question Of tie nationally Of
seaiers How Before the Com
mission. -. -. -

I. HALIFAX, n. s., Sept. 2-Mr. Bod
we'll opened his address before the Berins
Sea Commission. He took up The ones-
:.tion of the effect CT the domicile on ma
tionality and asked the commission to
consider that the claims; were not indi-
.yid ual but national. Mr.Bod veil ternei
as absurd the G. aim of the United States
brief that the money awarded by the COM
mission would be paid to the Queen OF
England as trus fee. : He claimed that the.
Queen received such money as q preroga-
tive to be paid over to the individuals who.
had suffered. 80: =. II =, ::
e Mr.. Bodweil contended that the ques-
tion of compensation to individuaIs de-
pended on damage done by seizures, and
the assuming OF the rights of England by
the United States must also be Ia ken into
consideration He argued that unless.
England could show International wrong
she would not have any case, how
ever great the damage. There was no dis
tinction between one individual and an
other in the claim. Any person domi-
ciled In British territory and owing Eng
lish allegiance has the right OF the protec-
tioh OF the crown.
Mr.. Dickinson remarked that the British
Government, in all its cases. did not ne
gl ect 10 press its claims in regard to the
individ uals.
Mr.. Bod we'll. answering, stated that the
com mission had been established by
written agreement and that the commits
sion would have tc consult that document
to ascertain its positions. The questions
were on intern atIonal law and the peaker
that as such the claims would
have 10 be decided. He claimed as sec
ond step that the domicile of an indi,
yid ual decided his nationality.

father has horse ranch, TO Chicago, ar
rived at Dubuque, Iowa. to-day at IL
o'clock and left for Chicago at noon.
They nave covered distance of about
1000 miles on their bronco,, the purpose
being to let the Secretary of Agriculture
know the powers OF endurance of those
little beasts.
The speed attained has heen about
twenty miles a day, but that is not SO
remarkable as the fact that no feed was
carried or obtained for them during the
entire trip. The bronehos picked their
the way, ana are said to appear as fresh
as when they started.
The Secretary's- idea is to demonstrate
the advantage the Amer can broncho
would te to European cavalry.
The rumor which has been current for
several days that officers of the English
army have been buying horses here for
troops in India proves to be unfounded.
THE rumor probably grew out of the
fact that some time ago small number
of .weady' racehorses were bought here
for the German army" said Thomas Har-
rison, one of the best-informed dealers in
horses at the siOckyards.
England supplies her troops in India
with horses from Australia. They are
similar to American mustangs, but are
larger in size. They can be bought and
delivered in India cheaper than American
horses

have not done so already, for upon going a
short distance up the trail they know they
can never make it. No one is sure of
reaching the lake.

feet aeep all along the trail. To-day we
helped to pull two men out of the mud
