decided by a majority as to each article of the following regulations, we, the 
said Baron De Courcel, Lord Hannen, Marquis Visconti Venosta, and Mr. 
Gregers Gram, assenting to the whole of the nine articles of the following 
regulations, and being a majority of the said arbitrators, do decide and deter¬ 
mine in the mode provided by the treaty, that the following concurrent regulations 
outside the jurisdictional limits of the respective Governments are necessary and 
that they should extend over the waters hereinafter mentioned, that is to say : 
Article I. 
The Governments of the United States and of Great Britain shall forbid 
their citizens and subjects, respectively, to kill, capture, or pursue at any time 
and in any manner whatever, the animals commonly called fur seals, within a 
zone of sixty miles around the Pribilof Islands, inclusive of the territorial waters. 
The miles mentioned in the preceding paragraph are geographical miles, of 
sixty to a degree of latitude. 
Article 2. 
The two Governments shall forbid their citizens and subjects, respectively, to 
kill, capture, or pursue, in any manner whatever, during the season extending 
each year from the 1st of May to the 31st of July, both inclusive, the fur seals 
on the high sea, in the part of the Pacific Ocean, inclusive of the Bering Sea, 
which is situated to the north of the thirty-fifth degree of north latitude and 
eastward of the one hundred and eightieth degree of longitude from Greenwich 
till it strikes the water boundary described in article 1 of the treaty of 1867 
between the United States and Russia, and following that line up to Bering Straits. 
Article 3. 
During the period of time and in the waters in which the fur-seal fishing is 
allowed, only sailing vessels shall be permitted to carry on or take part in fur- 
seal fishing operations. They will, however, be at liberty to avail themselves 
of the use of such canoes or undecked boats, propelled by paddles, oars, or sails, 
as are in common use as fishing boats. 
Article 4. 
Each sailing vessel authorised to fish for fur seals must be provided with a 
special license issued for that purpose by its Government and shall be required 
to carry a distinguishing flag to be prescribed by its Government.
