shall be a sufficient compliance with such demand, if such govern- 

 mental publications shall have been published prior to the 1st day of 

 January, 1908. If the demand is not complied with, the reasons for 

 the failure to comply must be stated to the Tribunal. 



Article VIII. 



The Tribunal shall meet within six months after the expiration of 

 the period above fixed for the delivery to the agents of the case, and 

 upon the assembling of the Tribunal at its first session each Party, 

 through its agent or counsel, shall deliver in duplicate to each of the 

 Arbitrators and to the agent and counsel of the other Party (with 

 such additional copies as may be agreed upon) a printed argument 

 showing the points and referring to the evidence upon which it relies. 



The time fixed by this Agreement for the delivery of the case, 

 counter-case, or argument, and for the meeting of the Tribunal, may 

 be extended by mutual consent of the Parties. 



Article IX. 



The decision of the Tribunal shall, if possible, be made within two 

 months from the close of the arguments on both sides, unless on the 

 request of the Tribunal the Parties shall agree to extend the period. 



It shall be made in writing, and dated and signed by each member 

 of the Tribunal, and shall be accompanied by a statement of reasons. 



A member who may dissent from the decision may record his 

 dissent when signing. 



The language to be used throughout the proceedings shall be 

 English. 



Article X. 



Each Party reserves to itself the right to demand a revision of the 

 award. Such demand shall contain a statement of the grounds on 

 which it is made and shall be made within five days of the promulga- 

 tion of the award, and shall be heard by the Tribunal within ten days 

 thereafter. The Party making the demand shall serve a copy of the 

 same on the opposite Party, and both Parties shall be heard in argu- 

 ment by the Tribunal on said demand. The demand can only be 

 made on the discovery of some new fact or circumstance calculated to 

 exercise a decisive influence upon the award and which was unknown 

 to the Tribunal and to the Party demanding the revision at the time 

 the discussion was closed, or upon the ground that the said award 

 does not fully and sufficiently, within the meaning of this Agreement, 

 determine any question or questions submitted. If the Tribunal shall 

 allow the demand for a revision, it shall afford such opportunity for 

 further hearings and arguments as it shall deem necessary.
