to the sum stated upon page 315 of the Counter Case of said GoverniDent to have been 

 incurred on account of expenses in connection with proceedings before the Supreme 

 Court of the United .States; 



And, also, to dismiss from the arbitration the claim anil request of the same Gov- 

 ernment, mentioned on said page 315, that the arbitrators find what catch or catches 

 might have been taken by pelagic sealers in Bering Sea without undue diminution 

 of the seal herd during the pendency of this Arbitration;

 mentioned on the said page 315, to show payments by it to the Canadian owners of

 either of them, be stricken from the British Counter Case, and in particular those 

 found on pages 215 to 229, inclusive, of Volume II of the Appendix to said Counter 

 Case. 



The ground of the foregoing motion or motions is that the claims and matters 

 aforesaid are, and each of them is, presented for the first time in the Counter Case of 

 the Government of Great Britain, and that they are not, nor is eitlier of them, per- 

 tinent or relevant by way of reply to the Case of the United States or to anythino- 

 contained therein, excei)t so far as the same may tend to support claims for dama'>es 

 distinctly made in the original case of the Government of Great Britain, and that 

 so far as they come under that head the matters are irregular as being cumulative 

 only. 



The president having remarked that the motions shonhl be consid- 

 ered separately and that the discussion upon the second motion brouo-ht 

 forward by tlie United States should be postponed to a subsequent 

 period of the proceedings, the Honorable E. J. Phelps addressed the
