THE BERING SEA QUESTION. ‘The Case of the American Sealer Sylvia Handy Argued Today. PRACTICALLY THE SAME LINE PURSUED 48 IN ‘TEE SAYWARD CASE—THE POLITICAL QUESTION DENIED BY COUNSEL AND AFFIRMED BY THE SOLICITOR AND ATTORNEY GENERAL. ‘The argument in every phase of the Ber- ing sea question before the Supreme Court has now been disposed of and the decision of the court will be awaited with interest. The ease of tho American sealer Sylvia Handy, which comes up on an appeal from the district court of Alaska and involves the same question ‘as to the jurisdiction of the United States over the waters of Bering sea beyond the threo- mile limits as thet imvolved in the Say- ward case, came up today and the arguments on both sides were completed. As stated in Tux Star at the timo, the bricf of the attorneys for the appellant was filed a day or twoago. The government filed in this case the brief in the Sayward case, amended as to the uame of the vessel. THE GAME LINE OF ARGUMENT. ‘The argument was opened by the counsel for the appellant, Mr. William G. Johnson. With the exception of facts that this case came up on an appeal and related to the rights of au American citizen instead of a British subject ‘case covered the same line of argument as the Sa; case and but an hour was con- sumed in presenting it, Mr. Johnson, after in- cidentally referring to the fact ‘that the Attorney General and solicitor general in their brief in both cases and their argument in the Sayward case argued in favor of the right of appeal from the district court of Alaska end that the Attorney General had taken a different position in later remarks to the court in connection with the case said he would Yt the conclusion reached in the government's brief that the Tight of appeal existed. He said that there dispute as to the place of seizure—sev- enteen miles from shore--and toat the govern- ment had not, ae in the Sayward case, attempted to show that this vessel had atany time been sealing on the top of a mountain in the Ameri- can territory; it was simply a question of the right of an American citizen to exemption from the seizure of his property on the high seas for an act prohibited wit jurisdiction of the United States.

Assistant SzorneTaRy Netrieron has gone to York for a few days, ANY POLITICAL QUESTION DENIED. He denied that there was any political ques- tion involved and donied also that the rights of the American citizen were affected by any declaration on the part of theexecutive as to the extent of the jurisdiction of the United States. If such a tion were made by the Presi- dent, it was longafter this seizure, and if it had any force at all, to affect this case would have to be retroactive. He said he had hoped that the government would argue the merits of the case in their brief and not confine themselves to the argument of technical objections to the consideration of the case by the court on its merite, ey had contended that the President had declared that the jurisdiction of the United States extended over Bering sea, but that they had mado no attempt to show that he was right in this direction, and in matters affecting the Property of American citizens it was more imi- Portant to be right than to be President. SOLICITOR GENERAL TAFT'S REPLY. Solicitor General Taft opened for the gov- ernment briefly. He said that the position taken by the government in the Sayward case covered this, and the same arguments and an- thorities would apply. He noticed that in this case Mr. William G. Johnson was the counsel ae sppllcant, and that Mr. Calderon Car was his associate, while in the Sayward ey, Carlisle was the principal counsel and ‘Was an associate, so that the government appeared to be represented ceed te ome t ing argument ‘said, made also by Mr. Choate in the Sayward case, when the government had xX, chance to '; he wot therefore, take \is occasion to rej Tt was that Nava.

Attorney General Miller followed Mr. Taft, calling attention to defects in the transcript of the record of the Alaskan court, which was in- cluded in the brief of thi ting and reinforcing his argument in the Byward case as to the political phase of” the question. Mr. Carlisle closed for the appellant, and the ease was submitted for the decision of the court. Dipleeie aes inh yay in these cases expected, but it is thought that the court will net make more delay than is ab- solutely necessary. QUESTIONABLE METHODS. English Newspapets Endeavoring to Fo- ment Discord in Chile and Brazil. ‘Much indignation is expreefed at the State jand Navy Departments at the conduct of cer- tain English newspapers in ascribing foolish sentiments and remarks to Minister Egan and Capt. Schley in conection with the pending questions between the Chilean and United States governments, No one here believes that Capt. Schley ever said that war was inevitable, and the opinion is Held in the departments thatthe English papers in question are en- gaged in an effort to foment the growth of a feeling of animosity by the Chileans against the people of the United States, which, while it may not manifest itself in warlike demonstra- tions, is well calculated to prejudice the trade relations between the two countries to the vast benefit of English commerce.

LATE TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. FIGHTING TO SAVE LIFE. Herote Efforts to Kescue Wrecked Sailors on. the British Coasts. Loxpox, Nov. 11.—Another furious south- easterly gale is sweeping over the British coasts and is causing an immense amount of damage. A dispatch from Hythe Kent just received says that the French schooner Edirimi has foundered off that piace and that the vessel's capiain, his wife and son were drowned in spite of the efforts of the life savers, who were en- abled to take off the rest of the crew. A telegram received at about the same time from Sandgate, not iar from Hythe, says that the British ship Bienvenue of Glasgow had driven ashore there after a terrible struggle with the storm. The crew of the Sandgate life boat station made every effort possible to launch their boat, but without suecess. The iife boat was rolled over and over by the pounding surf and finally the life savers gave up the attempt to get her atloat. Hosts of volunteers went to the assistance of the regular life-boat men and these amateur life savers tried todo what the regular boat- men had failed todo. Three times the volun- teers, avsisting the regular crew, tried to get the life boat through the terrible surf, but still without success; the heavy self righting and self-emptying boat was lifted up at right angles by the waves and tossed over as if nothing more than large cork, nearly crushing some of the life savers, who, had it not been for the immense life belts they wore, would bave undoubtedly been drowned. As it was it required the efforts of scores of volunteers, forming life lines, hand and hand into the surf to rescue the imperiled boatmen. In spite of repeated warning from experts that such a course would be both useless and dangerous, the Dover life boat crew, stimu- lated by the efforts of the life savers of Hythe and Sandgate, succeeded in getting to sea, and made a most gallant attempt to reach the Bieu- yenug Itwasnot thought that the men of Dover would succeed where those of Hythe and Sandgate had failed, but the rivalry between the crews is very great and the zeal of the life savers all along the coast has been stim- ulated by the recent incident at Sennen, in Wales, where upon the refusal of a number of the regular life-boat crew to put out to the as- sistance of a distressed vessel, a volunteer crew, composed of lawyers, clerks and bankers, manned the life boat and spent the whole night inn furious gale at sea, trying, unskilfully it is true, to rescue the endangered mariners. ALL EFFORTS FAIL. The efforts to save the crew of the Bienvenue have resulted in serious loss of life. The Hythe life boat, which finally got afloat after a dozen fruitless efforts, has been capsized while trying for the honor ‘of reaching the shipwrecked crew of the Bienvenue. Several of the life savers have been drowned. ‘The exact details of thie disaster have not yet reached here. There are seventy-one men still in danger in the rigging of the Bienvenue. Every effort is still being made by the Dover and Sandgate life boats to rescue but up to this hour the Bienvenue has not been reached and the life boat men are almost exbausted with their many hours struggle with the ele- ments. ANOTHER VESSEL IN PERIL. While these attempts at rescue were going on a telegraphic message from Hastings, on the same eoast, and not very far from Sand- gate and Hythe, announced that the Hastings hfe boat was making a desperate struggle to reach a barque, supposed to be a British vessel, which hus been driven ashore at some distance from that watering place. The barque was in a most perilous position and the prospects were that all her crew would be drowned. The rocket lines and life boat up to noon failed to rescue the stranded craft and it was feared that she would break up before as- tance can reach her. The sea is terrific and at times the life boat is lost sight of. Strange to say, spite of this fearful weather pre- vailing in the channel and clsewhere, where life boats can hardly live and where stout ves- sels aro being broken up within a few miles of each other, a small dog managed to swim ashore near Hastings, apparently from the barque ashore near there. At least the dog reached the surf im safety and was there res- cued by people ashore, who ventured out into the water for that purpose. PASSAGE OF THE CHANNEL STOPPED. A fair idea of the force of the storm can be gained from the fact that the entire steamboat service between Dover and Calais, Boulogne and Folkestone and between British ports and Ostend has been suspended. in spite of the fact that the boats engaged in these services are accustomed to face the most severe weather imaginable. ‘Many fishing smacks have foundered while vainly struggling to reach port and quite a number of coasting schooners have met the same fate. At Lowestoft, near Ipswich, Suffolk, for instance, a fishing smack which, afte long and plucky tussle with the storm,’ was just upon the point of making Lowestoft harbor was eud:lenly completely overwhelmed by more than usually heavy seas and foundered in full sight of thousands of people who were unable to be of any assistance to the crew. The latter, numbering seven souls in all, were all drowned. ‘The accounts of wreck give only a small idea of what is going on along the coasts here this morning. In addition to the three vessels mentioned there are many others in distress, and much further damage has been done to piers, ea bathing es tablishments, &c. From the inland districts come reports that foods are increasing rapidly and on the telegraph poles and wires again blown down and useless for the time being. and in other t@wns the wind is howling wi a intensity and devilish force.
