DISPUTES OUR CLAIMS.
Mr.. Bodweli Endeavors TO Show that ENGLAND
Is Right in Sealing Controversy.

Halifax, n. s., Sept 2.-Mr. Bodwell
continued his address, today, after re-
cess on the question of effect of dorni-
ellie on nationality. He contended that
the country of domicile extends to a
person certain privileges and Is bound
to defend such persons to the extent of
such privileges. The only thing that
domicile country cannot do is to
compel person to take up arms
against the sovereignty of the parties
berth. He quoted Judge Rayner whose
Judgment supported the claim that
there was sufficient evidence of ma
tionality in the flag of the vessel. Every
country must protect its domiciies and
therefore Great Britain was bound to
protect any person domiciled within
British territory.
ME- BodWell claimed that if the
United States allowed the ships to seize
vessels it was competent for the own
ers of these vessels to recover damages
through their government as against
the government making the seizures
Mr.. Bodwell then took up the claim
of the United States as regards the I'M
certainty of the seal fishery. The testi-
mony of Mclean in support of the Capt.
Leary and Capt. Baker. The evidence
of both went to show that>it was mot
necessary to have great experience in
sealing before a good catch can he had.
In 1886, Is schooners went into the sea
and We're taking good fares when pre-
vented by the United States.
Mr.. Bodwell submitted evidence which
went to show that the claim of the
United States that it took four months
to learn the art of hunting was incor-
rect He also claimed that the % seal
ing vessels should not he considered no
good, because they were old. This was
supported by United States evidence.

DALToN's MEDICATION.

Ths good name of the thriving little
community Of Dalton, which has been
somewhat sullied by the pArticipancy
of number Of her prominent citizens
in scheme of common thievery, has
been, to great extent, vindlcated
by the prompt and unterrifled action
of the superior court authorities in
punching the guilty parties.
1t is hard to reslizs how men of the
SOCIAL and business status of some OF
these conspirators could have been in
volved in such criminal proceedings.
The richest merchant in the town, re-
puted to be worth 100000, became 3
receiver of stolen goods, and other
men of like prominence oOnnived and
CO. operated with the notorius Bohan-
non gang for the sake of a paltry
profit.
Dalton is to be congratulated that
she had such Judge as Fite and such
a solicitor general as Maddox, unfear-
ing and courageous, to represent the
violated law Of the land in the cases Of
these prominent pilferers. Few courts
would have been so prompt, so unoom-
promising, so regardless Of personal
distinctions. In many communities
the matter would have been hushed
up, because the accused were leading
citizens. Not so with Dalton. The
parties were punished without dis
tinction. The little north Georgia
town has vindicated itself
