sion today and the leading counsel for

the British attorney general. contin-

Sir Richard Webster demanded that
the entire documents should be pre-
scented TO the court to determine if any
reliance should be placed upon the por-
tons submitted
Mr.. Benjamin Harrison. on behalf of
Venezuela. demurred to this contention.
on the ground that the time for filing
documents had passed.
Baron Russell of killOwen. one OF the
arbitrator, remarked that the tribunal
could scarcely rely upon half a docu-
ment when it was asserted that the
whole bore a different meaning. It was
finally decided that copies of the dOcu-
ments should first be submitted TO the
counsel for Venezuela.
Mr.. Harrison intimated that he had
thought arguments would be heard be-
fore this opportunity was afforded.

journed to Wednesday.
