Jlerr Lenders , a Gorman subject , and his
unlawful Imprisonment for which Count
Bchwcrreu , the Herman minister al Porl au
I'rlrLe , bar demanded an Indemnity. Lenders
la now believed to bu In Germany having
teen released from prison In order to avoid
further complications , the nallves of Porl

Gorman Ippallon nnd lynch Lenders. The
filling out of the war ship Is being hastened
as much as
The ofllrlnls of the German foreign office

government hai formed a stubborn altitude
The German newspapers urn blaming the
novel nront for tlio delay In brlnglrig Haytl
to tcrniB. The German version Is that Len
ders was sentenced to pay a line of $48 and
to undergo a month's Imprisonment for 10-
ulstlng a policeman , which Loudtrs denies
Thereupon ho demanded a second trial , ob'
talned It , and witnesses testified that they
had not seen him strike the police , but In
spite of this L'udcrs wo icsentcnced , this
tlrno to pay a fine of $100 and to undergo
a year's Imprisonment. The original tioublu
between LeudeiH and the police , It Is claimed
In his bilcf , was due to one of the latter
forcing his way to his residence , contiarj to
the law. In order to an eat one of his
servants.
DEMANDS HEAVY INDDMNITY
-After Lenders' sccund trial the German
minister took the matter In hand. On Octo
ber 17 he went to the president of Haytl ,
'Augnstln ' Simon Sam , and demanded In the
name of the German empire tbat Lenders In.
Bet at liberty , and also demanded foi ever }
day the latter had spent In prison , tvvw.ty-
Ihrco days In all , an indemnity of $1,000 In
gold. The minister added that for every
other day Lenders was kept t prisoner after
October 17 he , the representative of Ger
many , would demand an. Indemnity of $3,000
In gold.
President Sam at firs' refused to grant the
minister's demands , and Lenders remained
Inprison six days longer Thereupon the
German minister notified the Haytlan gov
ernment that ho had hauled down his Hag
and had sent the archives of the German
legation to the legation of the United
States , thus severing all diplomatic lelatlons
with the government of Haytl.
The action of the German minister caused
a. great deal of cxcltemonl at Port an Prince
There weio threats to Ijneh the pilsoner ;
the life of the German minister \uis threat

and acting on the advice of his counsellors ,

WASHINGTON , Nov. 11. Today's con
ference began at 1:15 : with a full
representation of the Urltlsh , Canadian
and American officials. For the first lime
the statintlcn of the catch of seals for the
present year were available. These were
compiled by the American officials and
lirought out prominently two features which
were regarded as moat Important In support
ing Iho American contention , nimely , thai
the catch had fallen off about ono half dur
ing the present ecason , showing conclusively
In the opinion of the American experts thai
Iho seal herd was being rapidly wiped out ;
and , second , that the catch of seals from the
American Islands In Bering sea wan about
in to 1 as between the Canadian sealers
under the Urltlsh flag and American sealers.
The same pioportlon was shown to exist
thioughout t the vvulers of the north Pacific.
In detail the figures for this season's catch ,
now avallible for the flrft time , are as fol
lows : Total catch of seals In the north Pa
cific for the preseitit season 3S 700 , agalnsl
73,000 last year. The tolil calch this year
Is divided no follows- Taken by British ves
sels , 30,800 ; by American vcFfiels , 4 100 ; by-
Japanese vessels , 3,500 The calcb In Horlng
sea , which Is lhat portion of the north Pa
cific in which the United Stales Is Inteiestcd ,
Is IC.fiSO for the present season , against
iO.fiOO last season , a rcducllon of aboul one-
half. Of Ibo calch In Hcrlag sea HrltNn
vessels look 15,000 , American \csse's 1,030.
The figures make no dlsllnctlon between
British and Canadian vessels , as practically
all the scaling Is done by Canadian vessels ,
which , however , are nominally classed as
Itiilish.
The falling off of aboul one-half In Ihe
total catch , both In Bering sea and the north
Pacific , Is said lo be mosl significant In view
of the circumstances. The present season
was a better one , the experts bay , for the
laklng of seals than last season. The same
rcgnlallons apply Ihls season as last. Under
circumstances It Is said that the conclu
sion to bo drawn from this year's figures Is
thai Ihe seal herd has been grcally reduced
by Indiscriminate slaughter at Iho dimming
rale of aboul one-half In Ibo lasl year.
SHURMAN AND LAURICIl CONKKR.
Secretary Sherman and Sir Wilfrid
Laurler , the premier of Canada , this
aflernoon began the first of a series
of conferences for Iho purpose of
bringing about an agreement by which as
many an possible of the questions now caus
ing friction between Ihe United States and
the Dominion of Canada may be amicably
adjusted by treaty or otherwise. These con
ferences will bo Independent of Iho Bering
sea seal fisheries conference , which was the
Immediate occasion for the Canadian pre-
mlei's present visit to Washington. Among
the causes of friction between Ihe two coun-
Irles Is the question of the rights of clll-
zens of either to pursue business callings
in Iho len Itory of the olher and Ihe lar'ff
question. The conference this afternoon was
brought aboul by a nolo which Secrclary
Sheunan Ihls morning hent lo Sir Wilfred
Ijauricr , asking him If It would be convenlenl
to the latter to meet the secrctaiy this after
noon , the Canadian premier responding In
the affirmative. The conference , accordingly ,
began at 1 30 p in In the State department.
Mr Sherman and Sir Wilfrid were to
gether for two hours. It can be stated on
authority that the discussion was devoted to
tlio consideration of the many Important
questions affeellng Iho general relations be
tween Hie United States and Canada. In
such a discussion the bccrclary of state and
the Canadian premier found themselves In
much accord. Mr Sherman has long fa-
\oied the most cordial relations between the
United States and Canada , having been ,
while In the senate , author of several reso
lutions In lhat direction Sir Wilfrid has
been Iho conspicuous exponent of the same
view In Canada. It was reall/cd on both
hands , however , that Iho discussion now-
opened was not one which could bring Im-
medlalo results , as many of the border con
troversies nro of long standing and many
practical difficulties were In the way of set
tlemcnt. The purpose , however , was to ap-
pioaeh the general subject In a spirit of
friendliness and allow this to develop ways
and means for dealing with the numerous
questions relating to both countries , namely ,
border Immigration , reciprocity , fishery
rights , the railway bonding privilege etc.
In vlovv of cable reports from London stat
ing thai Mr. Chamberlain , secretary of state
for the colcnlcs In the Salisbury cablnel , had
expressed lo Lord Aberdeen , governor gen
eral of Canada , slrong dlsipproval of any
move by Sir Wilfrid Laurler looking lo plac
ing Iho United States on the same basis as
Gieat Britain In tariff affairs , the matter was
called to the attention of the Canadian offi
cials. In i espouse an authoritative state
ment was made that no Mich disapproval had
been expressed by the Imperial authorities
and thai Lord Aberdeen had received no such
notification from Mr. Chamberlain or other
authority , as his lordship was with members
of the Laurler party up to the time II left
Ottav.il and no mention was made of any-
such disapprobation from Imperial quarters

Attorney Youngs tonight notified Iho other
cloven Juiors lo appear In courl tomorrow
nornlng and receive their discharge. lie

All evidence for the prosecution , whoso case
was nearly completed , will have to be Intro
duced again , and Mrs Nack will bo requested
to go on the stand and tell her horrible
elory anew- .
Several hundred men and women who as
sembled In the court room today , expecting
to hear Martin Thorn refute the testimony
which Mrs Nack gave so dramatically yes
terday , were doomed to disappoint
ment. Captain Methem brought Thorn Into
the couit room , the prisoner looking none
the worse for his ordeal yesterday.
Judge Taylor opened court a few minutes
later and Dlstrl'-t Attorney Youngs Intoimcd
ilm of the serious condition of Juror Larson
nnd with the consent of the lawyers on both
oldes Judge Smith adjourned court until 0 10
lomci row. The sickness of Larson brought
up a discussion among those Interested as
lo what would be done In case Ihe Juroi's
llness would bo prolractcd
"Would the pcoplo go on with the case
with eleven Jurors ? " was nskod.
CANNOT WAIVE HIS RIGHTS.
Lawyer William P. Howe , counsel for
Thorn , said an Italian named Cinceml had
cilled a policeman In Broomc street In 1S57
and , ono of the Jurors falling sick , the
lawyers agreed to proceed with eleven
Jurors. Cancemi was convicted and on ap
peal the eourl of appeals ruled lhal ncllher
counsel for Iho oeoplo or prlhoner could
walvo the constilutlonal rights of the ac
cused man , which called for a trial by a
Jury of twelve men Instead of eleven. Dis
trict Atlorney Youngs was asked whether , in
the event of the death of a Juror , he would
press for a new- jury nnd proceed with the
case during the present lerm. Ho replied
thai ho would have lo consult wllh his as-
fioclatcs before answering the question.
"How- long will the term last , and how
long would It bo necessary lo wall for the
recovery of Larson ? "
To Ihcse qiicsllons Mr. Youngs replied :
' 'Bolh of Iheso mailers are In Iho dlscrelion
of Ihe court. "
After courl adjourned Mr. Howe and Mr.
bad a brief lalk wllh Ihclr cllcnl ,
Thorn , before he was laken back lo bis cell.
Later Mr. Howe outlined his proposed plan
of defense which ho has been compelled to
adopl owing to the confession of Mrs Nack.
"Thorn will lake Ihe htand tomorrowhe
said. "He will teslify lhat Iho murder was
conceived and plolled and planned by Mrs.
Nack. Wo sliill prove Ih-il she wanlcd lo
gel rid ot Guldcrisiippc > in order lhat Thorn
might lake hlo place. Thorn will slale lhal
when he fol Inlo Ihe cottage at Woodsldo
on June 25 he found thai Mrs Nack had shot
Guldcnsuppe and that II was she who said
I have killed him. ' In olhcr words , Thorn
Is going lo loll Iho whole- truth about II
absolutely the whole trulh , " said Mr. Howe
with a dramallc geslure.
DISPOSITION OP THG HEAD.
"Will Thorn lesllfy that Mrs Nack look
away the head or will he state thai 11 wcs
he , himself , who Ihrew II Into the river ? "
Mr. Howe was aaked.
The big lawyer hesitated for a moment and
then replied : "Walt till we put Thorn en Iho
stand lomorrovv. Ho will Icll aboul II. "
Lawyer Moss , who Is assoclalcd wllh Mr ,
Howe In Iho defense of Thorn , was asked
if , In the case of a new trial being ordered ,
the defense would accept an offer from Ihe
people for a pica of murder In Ihe second
degree from Thorn ,
"Certainly not , " ho replied. "Wo would
spurn such an offer. "
When this was lold lo District Attorney
Youngs he said thai 11 was ridiculous and
unworlhy of a moments atlenllon.
Dlslrlcl Allorney Youngs and Judge A. N.
Weller , who have charge of Iho case for the
people , had a conference today with Judge
Wllraot N. Smith. They vvero closeted for
nearly an hour and after Ihey separalcd

the truth will bo known I have faith that
