Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, counsel for the
United States in the demand of Great Brit
ain for indemnity on account of the vessels
and seals seized by the United States in
the Bearing sea, returned to Detroit few
days ago from Halifax, n. S., where he
made final argument before the arbitra-
ton tribunal which will pass upon the mat
ter. The question before this tribunal re-
lates exclusively to damages and does not
touch any phase of the protection of the
seals. The claim for damages is for British
vessels seized by the United States prior to
the decision of the Paris tribunal in 1893
that the British had right to catch seals
in those waters. In other words, the claim
is made under the Paris decision of 1898 for
seizures made before that time. This is the
claim which Secretary Gresham agreed to
settle by paying lump sum of $4,000, but
Congress declined to ratify the arrangement.
Great Britain now demands $1500,000, but
she will not get anything like that sum. The
two arbitrator are Justice w. L. Putnam,
of the United States Court of Appeals for
New England, and Lord Justice King. of
London. If they cannot agree the President
of the Swiss republic or person named
by him will be called in to make the final
decision. Argument in the case has now
been concluded. The first hearing was held
at Victoria, b. c.. last winter, the next at
Montreal, and the last at Halifax. The
contention of the United States has been
that some of the claims set out by Great
britain had no foundation whatever while
others were grossly excessive. An inter-
esting feature of the case is the demand by
Great Britain for $4,000 indemnity for the
seizure of American vessels. These vessels
were built and owned in this country, but
the owners attempted to take advantage of
British protection by enrolling their prop
erty in the names of British subjects, Civ
ing them British registry-all of which was
in accordance with British law-and flying
