spondence, and evidence, in reply to the case, documents, correspondence, and evi-

other, through the Arbitrators, to produce the originals or certified copies of any 
papers adduced as evidence, giving in each instance notice thereof within thirty 
days after delivery of the Case; and the original or copy so requested shall be deliv- 
ered as soon as may be, and within a period not exceeding forty days after receipt 
of notice.

tion of the time limited for the delivery of the counter-case on both sides, to deliver

printed argument showing the points and referring to the evidence upon which his 
Government relies, and either party may also support the same before the Arbitra- 
tors by oral argument of Counsel; and the Arbitrators may, if they desire further 
elucidation with regard to any point, require a written or printed statement or argu- 
ment, or oral argument by Counsel, upon it; but in such case the other party shall 
be entitled to reply either orally or in writing, as the case may be,
