the Seeoixd Chamber of the Netherlands States-General, selec
ted by the French Government; and
(3) Mr. H. Lammasch, Doctor of Law, Member of the Upper House
of the Austrian Parliament, selected by His Majesty the King
of Italy as Chief Arbitrator ; and the result was announced on
the 8th August.
The judgment of the Court of Arbitration was in two parts of three
clauses each.
Part I.
1. Before the 2nd of January 1892 Prance was entitled to authorize
vessels belonging to subjects of His Highness the Sultan of Maskatto fly the
Prench flag, only bound by her own legislation and administrative rules,
2. Owners of dhows who before 1893 have been authorized by Prance to
fly the Prench flag retain this authorization as long as Prance renews it to the
grantee.
3. After 2nd January 1892, Prance was not entitled to authorize vessels
belonging to subjects of His Highness the Sultan of Maskat to fly the Prench
flag except on condition that their owners or fitters out had established or
should establish that they had been considered and treated by Prance as her
<{ protegesbefore the year 1863.
Part 11.
1. Dhows of Maskat authorised as aforesaid to fly the Prench flag are
entitled in the territorial waters of Maskat to the inviolability provided by the
Prench-Maskat treaty of 1844.
2. The authorization to fly the Prench flag cannot be transmitted or
transferred to any other person or to any other
dhow

, even if belonging to the
same owner.
3. Subjects of the Sultan of Maskat, who are owners or masters of
dhows authorized to fly the Prench flag or who are members of the crews of
such vessels, or who belong to their families, do not enjoy in consequence
of that fact any right of exterritoriality which could exempt them from the
sovereignty, especially from the jurisdiction, of His Highness the Sultan of
Maskat.
Shortly after the issue of the above judgment it was agreed upon be
tween the Governments of England and Prance that clause 3 of the 2nd part of
the judgment should come into force without delay but that the question of
investigation of the rights of persons and dhows to fly Prench flags and all
other matters connected with a settlement according to the arbitration award
should stand over until the return to Maskat of Monsieur Laronce, the perma
nent incumbent of the French Consulate. Monsieur Laronce arrived in
October, and shortly afterwards he and the

were instructed
to confer together with a view :—
(1) to decide as to the best method of making known to the sub
jects of the Sultan of Oman the result of the arbitration,
(2) to draw up a list of such subjects henceforth to be allowed to
fly French flags.
The officers concerned agreed at once that the result of the arbitration
should be announced by His Highness the Sultan in the form of a proclama
tion, and on March dth M. Laronce handed to Major Grey a list of persons and
dhows which in his opinion might continue to fly the French flag according to
the terms of the award, This list is still (April 1st) under examination and
discussion.
VI. His Majesty's ships havinsr been engaged on other duties no cap-
siave trade tures of slave dhows have been made
during the past year. There seems no
doubt not only that few if any slaves have been brought over from Persia
