perl on the Hiring hoa dispute , having acted
as Joint commlHslonor at Washington on It

Stut'M governmint Is perfectly right In do-
jnan ling a revision ot Kcallng regulations.

and though I do tiol believe th < i
present regiila'lons umovlsud would lead to
thu cxtim-tlnii of fur seals , 1 do think they
will i 'induce to their norloiis diminution.
Those regulations were adopted by the Paris
tribunal without expert advice' , and that Is
tlio reason they have failed. The sclcntllle-
comailssloacrs sent out recently were totally
unnecessary and their reports told nothing
that naturalists who had undo a thorough
Btudy of seal life had not already written.
Hrsiil'-s Hint , these commissioners wore not
jiermit'od to Invistigate , Independently or
alone They were taken to certain places
aoooiding to previous arrangement. Still
their H ports only bear out what other
scientists had written. "
"Do you consider Secretary Shermans

WASHINGTON , July 1C. Ex-Secretary
Kobtcr Is believed to lie meeting with a
largo measure of mire-cos In his efforts to
nccure from the Drltlsh government addi
tional moa-iurts of protection for the seals In
llerlng sea. While be has not yet reported
that the lirltlsh have formally consented
to participate In a conference with this
object In view , unofficial advices Indicate
that this is about to bo accomplished. The
ox-secn-tary hnfi secured powerful assist
ance from the great London skin dressers ,
who handle all of the sealskins taken In
the North Pacific and Ilerlng sea and prepare
them for use In girments. These merchants
are advised fully as to the prospects of each
ear's catch and the otntc of the sealeries
s regarded as strengthening General P
or's case very much when , as he reports
y cable to the State department they nlllrm
ho correctness of the conclusions reached
iy the American export Jordan and by In
eronro reject those of the Canadian expert
Thompson. The Isoue between these ex-
lerts. shortly stated , was whether or not the
loalH are being exterminated under exist
tig regulations. The American finding was
n the nfllrmatlvo. If Mr. I-'ostcr 1ms paved
ho way for an International conference to
irrt < ct the seals he has secured the moot
irgtnt of the demands made by our gov-
iinment , but thrre Is still no evidence
hat the lirltlsh government Is willing to
inter into n modus vlvendl to save the seals
vhllo the Interminable talking of such a
conference Is going on , and that was. It Is
Mid here , one of the most Important objects
of his mission.

SAN PIIANCISL'O , July 10. The Ilulletiu
pays this evening that It has received re-
lable Information that the Navy department
las determined not to be caught napping It
ho event of trouble with the Japanese ovtr
ho annexation of the Hawaiian Islands. At
orders of the department which would have
resulted In moving shins fiom the 1'aclflc
and Asiatic squadrons from headquarters to
llstant points have been temporarily sus-
lended. While the authorities at Washing-
on deny there is any effort to keep all avail-
iblo vessels at ports where orders can read
hem at short notices navnl officers admit
hat such a scheme ie being carried out and
hat orders have been Issued to the Asiatic
squadron requiring the fleet to make no
novo and to hold Itself in readiness to
return to the coast or proceed to Hawaii on
short notice. The report that the coast de-
'ense monitors Monadnock and Monterey will
Honolulu denied and the t-'tate-
> o sent to is - -
nent is made tlut they will be held on the
coast. Inquiries have been received at Marc
stand yard from headquarter as to the con-
lltlon of the cruiser Haltimore , now under
going repairs there , with the view of putting
ler In commission in case of emergency , al-
ihough under ordinary conditions she would
not be ready for service until September
next or even later.
WASHINGTON , July 16. At the Japanese
legation here no credence Is given to the
report cabled from London that the Spanish
and Japanese governments Imve entered Into
an alliance against the United States. It Is
[ minted out that the Spanish newspapers are
nearly as bitter lu their denunc.atlons of
the Japanese- , whom they charge with giving
material aid to the Philippine Insurgents ,
as they are agalrst this government for
permitting arms and men to be sent to Cuba.
It was stated in the mo-t positive terms
that there waa absolutely no truth In the
rumor , and It was explained Jhat the pres
entation of the chrysanthemum declaration
to King Alfonso had no significance what
ever so far as the United States is concerned ,
and docs not imply any change In the ro-
Utlona between Japan and Spain. The State-
department has no Information whatever of
any all.ance between Spain and Japan.
LONDON. July IB. The .Madrid corre
spondent of the I'all Mall Gazette says : The
most notable event thus far of the Spanish
court si'afcon at San Sebastian has been the
vifilt of I'rlnee Takeheito. Japan's ambassa
dor extraordinary , who was scut to Invest
King Alfonso with the Japanese Imperial
Order of the Chrysantlicmiim. The visit IB
considered of peculiar Importance. The en
voy was received with extreme cordiality by
the quevn and the government. I'rlnee Takc-
liolto , who was accompanied by the Mar
quis Ito. was received with full
Rtnlo by the duke of Tefuan , Spanish min
ister of foreign affairs , and all the court
functionaries : . The streets wore lined with
troops. Tlio dlotingulshed visitors were eon.
ducted to the palace , where the queen and
n brilliant retinue welcomed them with
high honors. Ilanqucts , balls anil oilier
marked compliments followed , and the war
ships In the bay worn decorated wltti flags
nnil bunting. The dnkc of Tetimn has gene
out of his way to protest that the mission
is purely complimentary and without po
litical significance , although a Japanese le
gation may be established at Madrid. It Is
H.ild tli.it the occurrence Is being carefully
observed In the United Stute-a ,

LONDON , July 1(5. ( ( Now York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Kather Du-
cey , pastor of St. Leo'o , has been In town
some time. Ho Is very busy dti London ,
studying the condition of London's poor In
the Whltcchapel hospitals. Today ho vlslte'd
thu striking englneero and late tonight prepared -
pared the following statement , describing
one of the most Important labor movements
of the time in England :
The English sttlker , If lie Is represented by
the striking engineers whom } , sow to.liij. .
far IIP he-
a iimirter-century. nltbougli as
number of men In It Is en.uernea the MrlKo
decs not sevm of paramount Importune. ' . is
not less than marvelous. The ntr.ki rs he'--
quarters , far removed from i'ic scene ot tin-
labor trouble , Is as ( inlet . ! .1 ujveinnient
ntllco on a holiday. I > Mllel 'here e.ut . o
merest curiosity and fo-ind John L nnu1 and
Mr. Barnes , the secretvy , lu Hie jilmest
cunrultiUlon. There was no crowd , there-
was no loud talking , there was 1,0 exclto-
inont. From there 1 went to Deptford , which
may be s-pokeu of as the strike eon tor.
There In located the biggest factory nff----to.l
by the present iliragreenu-iit between em
ploye and employer A meeting of strikers
In Trinity ball , which .was . In progress as
1 enteted , was as orderly as a cmirch rorv-
loe. Three or four hundred of the Idle en
gineers wore crowded Into a room much too
small for them. They are as line a luok-ug
lot of men as would be found Wiiere as ii.uny
Americans in the same n-ades might I" * gath
ered , but were much hv-ir behavul.
BOUND TO BEHAVE THEMSELVES.
There wan no sign of drunkonne-H , no
hint of disorder. The meeting was enthual-
nsllc , but not bol tere > uTho speakers
talked well and ndioltly , and there was
nothing Incendiary about the speeches. At
the- end inch one wound up with the
stMemuit that the- union had u > o much nt
stake and too great need of the admiration
and conlldonoe of the public , withal too
much self-respo.'t , to permit 11 to coni-lder
the possibility of riot for a mome-nt. No
utterances by the- speakers were mure en-
ttiiiFlii&tlciilly e-hoereil than those of this
It Is hard not to feel sympathy for these
well behaved earnest worklngme-n. Ihey
are backed by statistics showing that In
Iho shops the eight-hour niie has boon
adopted and production has not been Me--
crenWd. They are fu 1 of the vision of tens of
thousands of follow workmen unite as able
and quite IIH eager the-niselviv who tor
weary month after month walk the streets
of London unable to got a chance to use
their hands for the support of their fam
ilies , and themselves suffering from the
dreadful fate that comes to men through
London's strange landlord system , which
makes residence near the shops possible for
a few only and makes others live so fat-
away that nine hours woik means rising at
r , and going to bed at 10. This leaves lie )
time for m-t , reading or family life. } et
these men are content to light their battle
out In peaceful , orderly manner.
NEITHER POLICE OH SOLDIEHS.
From this hull 1 went to the works noai
by. whore the strike , so far as I > ondon is
concerned , centers. I thought of the cat
houpe. of the Brooklyn electric railroads as
I approached and wondered If I would see
crowds of fcullen looking men kept at bay
by cordon-i of police. Visions of militia ,
called out to protect the- property of men
against whom Amciican latior was then
struggling , rose before my mind. 1 won
dered if I would find llles ot red coats
around these great works. My disappoint
ment was a happy one. There was no
crowd of strikers , only one policeman In
sight and not a , sign of n soldier. The
only Indication that a strike was in progress
was the presence of two neatly dressee
Rood-natured-lookltig men , some distance
down the street , away from the works , who
wore Intioduced to me by the guide as
"pickets" of the strikers. The Instru' lions
of these men are to spcaU to any per--oi
who approaches the works as If lie mlgni
be Intending to take the place of a striker
and as-sure him that while the top wages
hti can get within are small , the strike
committee- Itself will le-Ileve his Immediate
wants if he does not take woik and see
to It that he get * n certain stated allowance
until the strike- ends , sulllcleut to supply
him with the necessities of life. A shor
but concise argument Is made to him
After this If ho does not choose to nccop
the strikers' terms , we'.l and good ; nothing
H done to him. No other effort Is made to
Induce him to keep out of the works.
NOT A "SCAB" AT"VOIUC.
It Is a strong commentary on the cohesive-
iiers of English wuiklng classes that not
ime- man has up to today failed to do wb it
the Ktilkor asked , there was not one "scab
nt work at this largest shop of the tabooed
master. Today there wa.s the found and
whirr of machinery from within , however.
I i-kod what it meant. A poll.-emnn , not n
striker , Informed mo that the machinery at
woik was entirely operated by njiprentlr-es.
The English apprentice cannot be discharge 1
by the- master after the articles me signed ,
except in cafe of felony , and has no right
under the law to absent himself from work
except In case of sickness.
A sight Impressive to an American. Here
was the battle being wape-il by the strongest
organization of manufacturers , and the very
strongest body of worklngmen in all Eng
land , yet not a single sign of disorder. In
company with n nearby tradesman and with
the agent of the Block County Council's
Model tenements , 1 took the- trouble to
llguro what It would co-t a British work
man to live decently In this particular part
of London. The very lowest llguro wiiHh
we cuuld possibly reduce It to was
$11 per week for a man with
three children , nn average family. The aver
age wage of the men firming , who really
form aristocracy of British labor. Is $9 'fi
n week. There Is a disciepancy. which must
be met In some way. Either the norkiuan
must curtail his necessities , not luxuries
mind you , but necessities , or he must work
more tnan n week lu fix ilnys. It Is the lat
ter methoj which Is most generally
adopted.
WOHK OVTSnTIMB.
Men work about eleven days In n week ,
that Is they di > enough overtlmo when trade
Is brisk , n at present to make five days
more than n week's pav. Tills overtime Is
paid ut a somewhat higher rate than the
tegular wanes. When trade Is not brisk
they go wlhout npcesF-itleH , which ex
plains iwliy 37,20:1 : children were shut out of
the- London board schools last year
because- they hail no shoes to wear. An u : -
r.lnlno regulation of the board schools pro
vider that no child shall be admitted who.so
feet are uncovcre-d , notwithstanding the
poverty which would nt mice arou = o popu
lar subscriptions In America by public re
lief committees. The men are not e-vc-n asking -
ing fur hlKhe-r wages , they only ask for one
hour's reduction per day for hours In the
Khop. The btst of the Ixindon firms granto.i
thin without a strike. It seems Incredlble
thut the men should not win their light
with tlio sympathy of the British public , and
I must confess tbo sympathies of one ' \mor-
le-an Is with them. JOHN J. Ut'CKV ,

WASHINGTON , July 1C. The only report
obtainable from the conference on the tariff
bill today Is to , the effect that the repre
sentatives of the two houses , are still at odds
on the sugar schedule and that while there
were still many matte-is of minor Importance
undetermined the sugar question Is the only
obstacle In the way of speedy sottlemcnt.
There was quite a movement in the senate-
today In the Intercut of the house sugar
schedule with the evident purpose of bring
ing pressure to bear upon the senate con-
rcrccs to yield upon this polpt and accept the
house schedule.

HKNLUY-ON-TH 15-TH AMES , July 16.
Ten Eyck won the final In the Diamond
sculls.
Ten Eyck got away slightly In advance
of Illackstaff , an ndv.inlage which ho never
lost. Half up Temple Island he led by a
quarter of a length , at therortory he was
ahead a full length , wherehe tried to talto
Illackstaff'o wati r , but was driven out.
Ten Eyck , measuring1 hl.s man now , adopted
the tactics of Kieplng just ahead all the
time and using no more effort than waa
necessary to do so. The umpires said ho
reminded them of Hanlon. He rowed
beautifully. At the half mile he was making , -
ing thirty strokes to the minute , but ho
started at thirty-four , as against Hlack-
staffVi thirty-nine.
There was only one solitary yell to en-
rourjge Ten Eyck , while a continuous roar
of cheers rose from both banks for lilack-
stafT. At the Kawley Court boat housa
Illackstaff seemed to b suffering from the
effect of the fast first quarter , but he was
still making n splendid race. The halC
mlle was reached In three minutes eight
weconds. The three-ipiarter Btnke was
reached In four mlnuti-s forty seconds , when
Ten Eyck led IJlae-liKtalT by a length and a
half. Thu mile was passed In six mlnutos
twenty-two seconds , Ten Eyck leading by
two lengths. Then lilackstiilf made 11 splr *
iti'd ' attempt to rollar his rival , who was
fairly In the Huckfi water , though ho started
from the JlcrkB station. Hut though the
wild encouragement silrred on the Vesta
man , it was useluhs , for the Worcester bay
had his measure ami maintained bin posi
tion ,
