PARIS. July 3l.-Mr. Mallet- Provost. resum-
ing his argument Of the case OF venezuela be-
! fore the tribunal o.day. continued his recital
OF the history OF Guiana, pointing out that the
! Dutch Governor Of Essequibo had stated In
| 1904 that Moreca was tho western boundary
! OF the Dutch dominions. Dealing with the
| plantations. the speaker demolished Sir, Rich
| ard Wehster's argument that they extended
! westward OF tho Pomeroon.
| After luncheon Prof Martens. the President
OF the court addressed Mr.. Mallet-Prevost.
suggesting the possibility OF his condensing
his argument by treating Of the historical. geo.
graphical. commercial and political aspects
of the case at the same time. The Presidents
speech created n sensation. the lawyers on
both sides listening with rapt attention and
Lord Chief Justice Russell during its delivery
leaning back smiling. Mr.. Mallet- Provost APP
peared to be momentarily staggered. He con-
suited with ex-President Harrison and then
replied. He modesty declared that possibly
his treatment OF the subject was open to criti-
cism, yet he was doing his best according to
his lights While he was anxious to meet as
far as possible the convenience OF the tribunal.
he said, he felt compelled to pursue the plan
which had been drawn UP as the result OF con-
sultation with his learned colleagues.
Lord Chief Justice Russell who had fire.
quently interrupted Mr.. et-Prevost said
that the Presidents speech had been made In
dependently. yet the justice Of his remarks
was felt by both Sir Richard Collins and him
self He admitted. however. that he saw the
difficulty confronting Mr. Maet-Prevost In re-
casting his line OF argument
Chief Justice Fuller buntly calculated that
Mr. Malet-Prevost might better follow his own
Judgment. and Prof. Martens and Lord Russell
agreed with him.
Mr.. MalletPrevost. resuminR, demonstrated
that the fact Of the Dutch colonies OF ESQ
quibo. Berbico and Surinam trading In the dis
puted territory in no wise implied Dutch SOW
ereignty therein.
sharp tusse arose on this point between
Lord Russell and Mr.. Mallet- Provost In which
the latter came out victorious. Lord Russell
also sought to limit the application OF the name
Orinoco to the river, whereupon Mr.. Maet-
Provost, after an able argument. satisfied his
lordshp that the name frequently included the
territory watered by that stream.
