Excerpt from Fur Seal Arbitration, Vol. 11: Proceedings of the Tribunal of Arbitration, Convened at Paris Under the Treaty Between the United States of America and Great Britain Concluded at Washington February 20, 1892; For the Determination of Questions Between the Two Governments Concerning The The President. - The Tribunal has decided to appoint Mr. A. Bailly-Blanchard, and Mr. Cunynghame, as co-Secretaries with Mr. A. Imbert. Also, M. le chevalier Bajnotti, M. Henri Feer, M. le vicomte de Manneville, as assistant Secretaries and these gentlemen are, therefore, to take their seats. Now, gentlemen, I address both the Agents and I may say that the Tribunal is ready to hear any motion from either of you or your Counsel. If anybody has a motion to present, the Tribunal are ready to hear it. Sir Charles Russell. - I have, on the part of the Government of Her Majesty, to make an application to the Tribunal which is based on Article 4 of the Treaty and also upon the general jurisdiction of this Tribunal to regulate the order of its proceedings. The application is that the representatives of the United States may be called upon to furnish either the original or an authentic copy of an important Report bearing upon seal life, and that they may be so ordered for the assistance of this Tribunal and in support of the contentions to be advanced on behalf of the Government of the Queen. The Report in question is the Report of an American citizen Mr. H. W. Elliott, and its subject is "Seal life". It is important that the Tribunal should understand why we think it necessary that this Report should be forthcoming and why we think that the authority of Mr. Elliott on this subject should be brought to the attention of the Tribunal. Mr. Elliott is a gentleman who in the diplomatic correspondence leading up to this Treaty has been vouched by successive Ministers of the United States as an authority without any equal. Mr. Bayard, when he was Secretary of the United States, writing upon the 7th of February, 1888, describes Mr. Elliott as "a well known authority on seal life". That communication is to be found in the United States Appendix to their Case, and I can give my friends the reference, if they have not it at hand. Later, on the 1st of March, Mr. Blaine, who was then Secretary of State in America, on that date quotes Mr. Elliott again, in similar language, as an important authority on seal life; and finally on the 3rd of July, 1890, Mr. Goff, Treasury Agent to the United States, cites Mr. Elliott in this language. He says "There is but one authority on the subject of seal life," and he refers to Mr. Elliott as that one authority. Now as to the Report, the Report which we desire is one which has peculiar importance from the fact that the authority of Mr. Elliott to make this special Report was conferred upon him by an Act of the Legislature of the United States which came into force in April, 1890.
