 of the original copy and in keeping with the 
 filming contract specifications. 
 
 Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed 
 beginning with the front cover and ending on 
 the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All 
 other original copies are filmed beginning on the 
 first page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, and ending on the last page with a printed 
 or illustrated impression. 
 
 The last recorded frame on each microfiche

 ■ In (lecidiii',' the matters suhniitted to the said Arbitrators, it is nm-ecd that the 
 folloMin;,' live jioinN sli^.M ]„. suhniitted to them, in order that their Award shall 
 cmhraee ;i ilistiie'l decision upon each of saiil live point'-, to wit : 
 
 " 1. \Vh;it exclusive jurisdiction in the sea now known as the Helirinu; Sea, anil 
 what cxcIusIm' rii,'lits in the seal llshcries therein, did liussia a--sert and exercise prior 
 and nji to the time of the cession of Alaska to the rniled Slates': 
 
 "2. How far wei't; these claims of jurisdiction as to the seal lislieries recoi;ni/cd 
 and conceded hy Great Itritaiii ? 
 
 '• H. Was the body of water now known as the Hchrim; Sea included in tho jihrasc 
 Tacilic Ocean,' as used in the 'J'rcaty of 1^2") between Great I5ritain and Russia; 
 and what rii,'hts, if any, in the Hehriny; Sea were held and cxidiisivdy exorcised hy 
 Russia after said Treaty r 
 
 " 1. Did not all the rights of Russia as to jurisdiction and as to ilie seal fisheries in 
 Hebrin%' Sea cast of tiie water boundary, in the Treaty between thi! United States 
 and Russia of the ;!<>th .Xrarcli, lS(j7, pass unimpaired to the I'nited States under that

 And whereas by Article Xll of the said Treaty it was furthi^r ajjreed as follows : — 
 
 " K the di'tcrmination of the forei^oini: ipicstions as to the excdusivc jurisdiction 
 of the I'liitcd St.-ites shall leave tlii' subject in such position that the concurrence of 
 Great iJritain is necessary to the establishment of Re^^ulations for the proper protection 
 and iirescrvation of the fur-seal in, or habitually resortini^ to, the Jkdiring Sea, tho 
 Ar])itrators shall then determine what concurrent Rciiulations, outside the jnris- 
 di(;tional liniits id' the respective Governments, are necessary, and over what waters 
 such Reu;iilations should extend ; 
 
 "The llii,'h Contracting; Parties furthermore agree to co-operate in securing the 
 adh'jion of otlicr Towers to such Regulations." 
 
 And whereas, hy Article VIII of the said Treaty, after reciting that the High 
 Contracting l'ar*'cs had I'oiuid themselves unable to agree upon a reference which 
 should include the question of the liability of each for the injuries alleged to have 
 been sustained by the other, or hy its citizens in connection with the claims presented 
 and urged by it, and that "they were solicitous that this subordinate question shouhl 
 not interrujit or longer diday the submission and determination of the main questions," 
 the High Contracting Parties agreed that "either of them might submit to the 
 Arbitrators any rjuestion of fact involved in said <daims and ask for a linding thereon,

 Sweden and Xorway named ]\lr. Gregers Gram, Minister of State, to be oni.' of tlu; 
 said Arbitrators ; 
 
 And whereas wc, the said Arbitrators, so named and appointed, having taken 
 upon ours(lv(^s tlie burden of the said Arbitration, and having duly met at I'lU'is, 
 proceeded ini))ai'tially and carefully to examini; and decide all the questions submitted 
 to us the said Arbitrators, under the said Treaty, or laid before us as ]irovided in tho 
 said 'treaty on tlie jiart of tlie (iovernments of Ifer Britannic Majesty and the L'nited 
 States rcsix'ctivcly. 
 
 Now we, tiie said Arl)itrators, having impartially and carefully examined the said 
 questions, do in like manner by this our Award decide and determine the said 
 questions in manner following, that is to say, we decide and determine as to the live 
 points mcntioni-'d in Article VI, as to ■which our Award is to embrace a distinct 
 decision uj)on each of them; 
 
 As to tiie lir.st of the said five points, we, the said Baron de Courcel, ifr. Justice 
 Harlan, Lord Hanni'ii, Sir John Thompson, Marquis Visconti Venosta, and Mr. Gregers 
 Gram, being a majority of ihn said Arl)itrators, do decide and determiiK! as follows: — 
 
 By the Ukas(! of 1821, Russia elainu?d jurisdiction in the sea now known as the 
 Bihring Sea, to the extent of 100 Italian miles from the coasts and islands belonging 
 to her, but, in the eoui'se of the negotiations which led to tlie conclusion of the 
 Treaties of lS2t with tlie United States, and of lS2u with Great Britain, IJussia 
 admitted that her jurisdiction in the said sea should bo restricted to the reach of 
 cannon shot from shore, and it a])pears tiiat, from that time up to the time of the 
 cession of Alaska to the United States, Russia never asserted in fact or exercised any 
 exclusive jurisdiction in Mehring Sea, or any exclusive rights in the seal tisheries 
 therein IkivoihI the ordinary limit of territorial waters. 
 
 As to the .second of the said live points, we, the said Baron de Courcid, 
 5Ir. Justice llMrlan. Lt)rd Hannen, Sir John Thompson, Marcjuis Viseonti N'enosta. 
 and 31r. (iregers (iram, being a majority of the said Arbitrators, do decide anil 
 determin(! that (irent Hritain did not recognize or concede any claim, ujjou tin.' part of 
 Russia to ex(dii>-ive jurisdiction as to the seal-iislienes in Behring Sea, outside of 
 ordinary territorial w.-iters. 
 
 As to th(; third of the said five points, as to so much thereof as vequircis ns to 
 decide whether the body of water now known as the Behring Sea was included in the 
 ])hras(! " I'acilic Ocean," as used in the Treaty of lS2u between (Jreat Britain and 
 iiussia, we, the said -Vrbilralors, do unanimously dceid<! and dcjtermine, that the body 
 of water now known as th(! Hehring Sea, was included in the phrase " L'txchU: Ocean" 
 as usi.'d in the said Ti-eafy. 
 
 Ami as to so nuieh of the said third point as requires us to decide wliat rights, it 
 any, in the Behring Sea were held and exclusively exercised by Russia after the said 
 Treaty of 182.0, we, tin; said Baron de Courcel, ilr. Justice Harlan, Lo,! Ilannen, 
 Sir John Thomj)Sf)ii, ^Manjuis Visconti Venosta, and Mr. (iregers Graii, being a 
 majority of the said ArbitratiU's, do decide and detei'mine that no exclusive rights of 
 jurisdiction in Bidiring Sea and no exclusive rights as to the seal tisheries therein, 
 were held or exercised l)V Russia outside of ordinary territorial waters aftei' the 'I'reatv 
 of 1825. 
 
 As to th(^ fourth of the said live ])oints, we, tii(! said .Vrbitrators, do u.animo isiy 
 decide and determine that all the rights of Russia as to jurisdiction and as to the s(.'al 
 li^-Iierics in Bidiiiiig Sea, east of the water boundary, in the Treaty between the L'nitcd 
 States and Bussia cjf tlie .'JOIh .March, ly(i7,- did pass unimpaired to the United States 
 under the said 'I'reaty. 
 
 As to the liltli of the said ii\(' jioints, we, the said Baron de Courcel, Lord Hannen, 
 Sir .bdin 'I'hoinpbon, JIarquis X'iscouti VcMiosta, and Mr. Gregers Gram being a majority 
 of the said -Aibitnitors, do decide and dot' rmine that the L'nited States lias not anv 
 
 'ht of 
 
 proteelion or [)ropeily in the fur-seals frequenting the islands of the L'nited 
 
 States in Bi.'hring Sea, when such seals are found <uit>ide th<' ordinary :!-;nil

 the iis(! of such canoes or undecked boats, propelled by paddles, oars, or sails, as arc 
 in common use as fishini; boats. 
 
 Article -4. I'acli sailinu'-vessel authorized to fish for fur-seals must 1)0 provided

 Article o. 'Jlii^ niiisters of the vessels engaged in fur-seal lishing shall enter

 The said concurrent Regulations shall Lc submitted every five years to a new

 And whereas the Government of Tier Britannic Majesty did subrait to the Ihibunal

 Declarations made hy the Tribunal of Arhilrution and referred to the Governments of the 
 United Stales and (Ireat Britain for their connideration. 
 
 1. THE Arbitrators doolaro that tlio ooiiourront lloi^ulations, as detonnincd 
 npon by tlu! Tribnnal ol" Arbitration, by virt no of Article VII of the Treaty of the 
 •2i)tli E(!brnary, 1^S)2, boiiii;- aiiplicablo to the high soa only, sliould, in their opinion, 
 bo siipplomontod i)y other itognlations appliealjlo witliin the limits of the sovereignty 
 of oacli of the two Towers interested, and to be settled by thoir common agroomont. 
 
 2. In view of the critical condition to which it appears certain that the race of 
 I'ur-scals is now nxlucod in oonsoqnonce of oiroumstanoos not fully known, the 
 Arbitrators think fit to ro(n)niniend both Governments lo oomo to an undt;rstanding in 
 order to prohibit any killing of i'nr->oals, either on land or at sea, for a jieriod of two 
 or three years, or at least on(^ year, subject to such exoeiitions as the two Governments 
 might think proper to admit of. 
 
 Such a measure might be rooiirred to at occasional intervals if found bonelicial. 
 
 3. The Arbitrators declare, moreover, that, in thcjir opinion, the carrying out of 
 the llegulations determined upon by the Tribunal of Arbitration should be assured by 
 a system of stip\ilations and moasiu'os to bo (>naeted by th(> two P(jwors ; and that the 
 Trilumal must, in conso([uenco, leave it to the two Powers to decide upon the means 
 for giving olVeet to the llogulations d(!tormined upon by it. 
 
 A\'(! do certify this l']nglish version to be true and accurate, and have signed the 
 same; at, Paris, this loth day of August, 1S!)3.
