^ WASHINGTON. Aug., 6, (/P)—The
Department of Justice announces
that the long standing Bering Sea
^ litigation at last has been ended
with 81 claimants obtaining judg
ments against the government and
59 cases in which judgment was
for the government.
This litigation, growing out of
sealing losses in the Bering Sea be
tween 1886 and 1896, by reason of
government interference, was au
thorized by a special act of con
gress. The Department explained
in its statement that it had been
extremely difficult to find grounds
of defense in many instances, be
cause of the time elapsed since the
alleged damage occurred.
Following is the full text of the
4 statement:
Out of the total amount of claims
aggregating $3,420,317, filed against
the government in what is known
as the Bering Sea litigation, judg
ments were secured by the claim
ants totaling $1,665,663 which have
been certified to the Treasury De
partment for payment. The details
of these results are contained in a
report received by the Department
of Justice from the northern dis
trict of California.
The suits of this litigation were
filed under authority of a special
act of congress passed on June 27,
1904, which conferred jurisdiction
on the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Cali
fornia to hear and determine
claims of American citizens for
sealing losses in the Bering Sea
k during the years 1886 and 1896, by
reason of the government interfer

ing with those sealing operations.
The total number of cases filed un
der the act was 140, which included
210 separate claims, and the total
amount claimed, as stated, was
about $3,500,000 and the judgment
entered in favor of the claimants
amounted to a little more than
$1,500,000.
! There were 81 cases in which
judgments were rendered against
the United States, and 59 cases in
which judgments were entered in
favor of the United States, involv
ing $925,155. In the judgments
which were entered against the
government the claimants recover
ed $839,499 less than the amount
claimed in their petitions. Several
cases were appealed by the claim
ants and by the government to the
Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit, but none of the cases
reached the United States Supreme
Court. Recommendations were
made by the United States District
Attorney for writs of certiorari to
be filed, but after thorough consid
eration it was concluded that the
stated grounds would not justify
the government asking the Su
i preme cour to review these
cases. The claim were very old
and the government had consid
erable difficulty in escuring in
formation upon which to base
defense.
