The claims referred to originated in the
seizure by the Russian authorities off the
coast of Siberia of three American sealing
vessels, and the damages claimed aggre-
gate about S1jO.6NO. The vessels We're the
James Hamilton Lewis. the Cape Horn
Pigeon and the c. II. White. In each case
the largest item of the claim is on account
of the suferings of the American officers
and crew while under arrest. The cases
differ from the claims presented by British
sealers. which were settled by the Boring
sea arbitration. in the very important fact
that while the British vessels were seized
by the American revenue cutters on what
the arbitration declared 10 be the high seas,
the Russian men-of-war seized these Amer
lean sealers within seven miles of the Ash
attic coast. 1t is a matter of interest that
for the first time the Russian government
contends that the marine jurisdiction of
COJEtry extends at least that distance from
the shore line, instead of being limited to
marine league. as laid down by the older
writers on international law. The league
was fixed originally because it represented
the extreme distance from shore that
shot could be thrown by one of the old
cannon used in coast defense, and the Rus
SLAMS hold that the limit should be extended
to correspond to the Increased range of
modern ordnance.
The protocol. through which the arbitra
ton was arranged. was prepared in St.
Petersburg by the United States ambassa-
dor Mr. Tower and the Russian foreign Of
flee. 1t was agreed by the parties that in
the interests of n speedy settlement of the
claims there should be but one arbitrator,
and the person selected for that post is DR..
Asser, a celebrated Dutch jurist, who took
a prominent part in The Hague conference
The case Will be submitted 10 him just as
soon as the papers can be prepared at the
State Department
Anent Russia's Feeling Toward Eng
land.
Mr. Tower was questioned regarding the
frequent publication in British newspapers
of the rumor that Russia intends tC take
advantage Of the Transvaal war by aggres-
sion upon British territory. Fe said:
Naturally, it is impossible for me to
speak OF Russia's policy toward Great
Britain even if I knew anything. But /
can say most emphatically that Russia $
attitude toward the United Stares is not
preiudiced by our friendship for Great
Britain"
1t was inferred that Mr.. Tower did not
put much faith in the sensational reports
OF a Franco Russian active alliance against
Great Britain
Another American diplomat said to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press:
The Importance of getting Russia to ar
bitrate these claims is grea-er than their
material amount indicates. FreIIelt eff
forts have been made 20 this e2l
But" he added. MIR. Tower has achfev-
ed what others had TO give mp despaI,inSly.
This Is practical evidence Of the f2iendi!-
ness Of Russia and the United States. and
completely refutes the claims Of those who
have maintained that We have engendered
