Excerpt from Proceedings of the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal, Convened at London, Vol. 6: Under the Treaty Between the United States of America and Great Britain, Concluded at Washington January 24, 1903, for the Settlement of Questions Between the Two Countries With Respect to the Boundary Line Between the Territory of Alaska and the British They have appointed Mr. Tower, His Britannic Majesty´s Minister at Munich and Stuttgart, as Secretary, and Mr. Pope, from Canada, and Mr. Carter, of the American Embassy in London, as Associate Secretaries. The Agents have verified their appointments Mr. Bannerman is appointed the official Shorthand Writer of the Tribunal. In accordance with previous practice, on application to the Secreatry of the Tribunal at the Foreign Office, cards of admission will be supplied to any persons who desire to be present, and to whom there is no objection. I have to state that, at the request of the members of the Tribunal, they have asked me to be the nominal President of the Tribunal. I need scarcely say that I highly appreciate the confidence that has been reposed in me, and wish to place my services at the disposal of the Tribunal. We are, of course, all equal here, but it is desirable that one should be the mouth-piece of the Tribunal when necessary; therefore, in order to conform to the wish of my colleagues, I have, of course, gladly undertaken that responsibility. I think all we have to do now is to ask first the names of the Counsel who appear, and to ask the Counsel what arrangements have been made as to the actual proceedings with the Arguments. Sir Robert Finlay. The Counel who appear for Great Britain are the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Christopher Robinson, K. C., of the Canadian Bar, and Mr. Wade, K. C., Mr. Duff, K. C., and Mr. Geoffrion, K. C., of the Canadian Bar, with Mr. Rowlatt and Mr. Simon of the English Bar. The President. And for the United States? Honourable Jacob M. Dickinson. The Counsel who appear on behalf of the United States are Mr. Jacob M. Dickinson, Mr. David T. Watson, Mr. Hannis Taylor, and Mr. Chandler P. Anderson. The President. When do you propose to resume, Mr. Attorney and Mr. Dickinson? Sir Robert Finlay. Well, of course, that is a matter entirely for the Tribunal. I have had the advantage of some conversation with my friend Judge Dickinson, who appears on the other side, and what we suggest for the Tribunal is this, that there should be an adjournment until this day fortnight, Thursday, the 17th of September. If that meets with the approval of the Tribunal I think it will give adequate time for both sides to be prepared then to proceed with the oral Argument. The President. I think what the Tribunal would like to know before we say anything about it is what is the probable length of the Arguments and how many Counsel we are going to hear. For this reason: I had better state it at once: Mr. Root and Senator Lodge have very pressing engagements in the United States - engagements of a public character - which will make it absolutely necessary probably for one, if not for both, to leave by the 21st of October, and that being so we should like to know that there is a certainty of the oral Arguments being concluded within such time as will give the Tribunal a fair time for consideration before they assent to the adjournment to the 17th. That is the only point. Sir Robert Finlay. That matter would, of course, my Lord, depend to some extent upon the number of days in the week on which it was thought right to hold the sittings.
