T2 reported that "hi * lordship stated ( lint the
Cumuli , gororntnent objected to any such
restrictions and until 1U consent could bo oh-
tnlnetl her majesty's government was not

SHVH the secretary : "Thl government can

BO Informed Mlnintcr 1'holpi ,
The British government would nisurcdly
and rlRht.fully complain If the agreement
hetwcen her ronrcsoutiitlvo nnd the rcproscu-
tullvo of the united Slntei should without
notice bo broken off by the United States on
the ground that tlio tate of California was
not willing It should bo completed.
In conclusion lie presses In behnlf of the
president tlint her nmjcsty'a government
agree not to permit vessels to enter Behrlug
nca this season In order that time may bo se
cured for negotiations that Hhnll not bo dis
turbed by untoward events or unduly In
fluenced by popular agitation.
Juno S the secretary writes Sir Julian that
the president bellovou thut arbitration cannot
bo concluded In tlmo for this season nnd sug
gests thut Ird Salisbury make for a single
season the regulation wblcli In 1888 he offered -
fored to niako permanent us a step which
would certainly lead to a friendly agreement.
To this tlio minister replies Jnno a thut
further examination of the question has sutts-
lled his lordship that such an oxtruino meas
ure us that proposed in IbM goes far beyond
the requirements of this caw. Tlicro would
bo no legal power to enforce the observance
of Mich nn ngrccinent on British vessels.
Secretary Blalnc , replying June 4 , says :
Tlio "extreme measure" proposed csimo friiii
Lord Salisbury himself and concludes : "The
president does not conceal his dl appolntincnt
that even for the mike of securing
an impartial nrhitration her majesty's
government is not willing to suspend for
a single season the pmilieu which Lord Salis
bury described In 18hS an " 'J'ho wnnton de-
HtruutJon of n vnhuiblo industry , nnd which
this government hius uniformly regarded as
nn unprovoked Invasion of its established
riRhtu. "
Juno 0 Sir Julian 1'auncefoto presents n
vopv of u telegram from Lord Salisbury In
Yvhfch bo regrets the president should think
him wanting In conciliation , but thut it is be-
vend tlio power of his government tocxcludo
British or Canadian ships from any portion
of the high SOH oven for un hour without u
legislative enactment.
In hi ? reply of tlio llth Secretary Blalno
nnys tills government would bo satisfied if
Lord Salisbury would , by a proclamation ,
simply request British vessels to abstain
from entering the Itohring sen for the present
Hcason In order to give full time for the im
partial negotiation.
Sir Julian on the llth writes Mr. Tllaino ho
has informed Lord Salisbury that Sccrotary
JBlalno could not give assurance that British
wealing vessels would not bo Interfered with
during tlio negotiations and expresses a hoiio
that the decision Is not liiiul and that wlulo
tlicro U tiino the coininanders ol United
States revenue cruisers will bo instructed to
abstain ,
On Juno 14. however , the minister with regret -
gret , fulling to receive a fnvorublo reply , pre
sents a formal protest of tlio British govern-
i meat. In the protest be .says in part , the
I Uritich goveninient cannot admit the right of
the United States of their own BOO ! motion tel
l restrict the freedom of navigation of Hehrlng
lca nor to enforce legislation ngnlnst British
' "essels in the high seas. Her Uritannic
majesty's ' government Is tliercforo unnhlo to
1 lass over without notice tbo public nnnounco-
i nent of the intention on the part of the
I jutted States to renew acts of intcrferenco
vlth British vessels navigating outside the
1 erritorlal waters of the United Sates ,
i , fwhich .they bad previously , tel
l : oinplnln. The minister Is. in con-
Idcquenco , instructed to formally protest
I'.igulnst such un interference and declare that
'lier ' Britannia majesty's Rovernment must
hold the government of the United States responsible -
sponsiblo for any consequences thut may cn-
sue from acts which are contrary to the prin
ciples of international law.
The minister , next , on Juno 27 , replies to
Secretary Illnlno's proposltloii lootting to the
proclamation by her majesty's government
that British vessels shall not enter Bearing
sea during the coming season. The minister
Hvrltes that Lord Salisbury wdtos the re
quest ami presents the constitutional clllll-
culties which wuuld preclude her majesty's
government from acceding to it except as part
of the general Bchemo for settlement of the
controversy and on certain conditions , which
nro :
That the governments agree forthwith to
refer to arbitration the question of tholegallty
of the action of the United States in seizing
or otherwise interfering with British vessels
engaged in tbo Bohriug sea outside territorial
waters during IS * , 18b7 and 18VJ :
That pending the award all Intcrferenco
with liritish sailing vessels shall absolutely
ccaso ;
That the United States if the award should
bo adverse to them , will compensate British
subjects for the losses which they may sus
tain by reason of their compliance with the
British proclamation.
In the ilrst communication dated Julyl ,
Lord Salisbury referring toBlaluo's criticism
on the abrupt close of the London negotia
tions quotes from u statement nmdo to him by
United States Minister Phelps us follows :
"Under the pecullarpolitical circumstances
of America ut this moment. " said Phelps ,
"with a general election pending , it would bo
bo of little use and indeed , hardly practicable
to conduct any negotiation to uu issue before
the election hud taken place. "
On the last of Juno Secretary Blalno ad
dressed to tbo British minister a very lone1
letter in answer to Lord Salisbury's com
munication in which the latter stated that
Secretary John Qniney Adams protested
against llussla's claim to exclusive Jurisdic
tion over Ilehrhig sea. Secretary Blalno
says :
' The. quotation which Lord Salisbury
indices 13 unfortunately a most defective ,
erroneous and misleading one. Tlio conclu
sion Is separated from"the promise , a comma
is turned into a period , an important quallil-
cation as to time Is entirely erased , without
oven a suggestion thut It hud ever formed
part of the text and out of eighty-four words ,
logically and inseparably connected , thirty-
live are dropped from Mr. Adams' paragraph
in Lord Salisbury's quotation.
The bucrvtiiry says further : "Neither by
the treaty with Uusslaof IS- . " , nor by its re-
aiowalof 1819 , nor by its second renewal In
18.V.1 did Great Britain gain any right to take
seals in the Boliring straits , la fact those
treaties were a prohibition upon her which
she steadily respected so long ns Alaska was
u Russian province ) . It is for Great Britain
now to show by what luw she gained
n right to do In 18T4J that which
they had refrained from doing for nearly
ninety years ! Upon what grounds did. her
majesty's goveninient defend in IbStlu course
of conduct In Bchrlng sou which Imd been
carefully avoided over slneo the discovery of
that seal By wliat reasoning aid her
majesty's government conclude that an act
may bo committed with impunity against tlio
rights of tbo United States which had never
IHVH attempted against the same rights when
licld by tiHjUuHslim cmpiio. "
The thirtieth and last letter of the corres
pondence which would , If printed en tire , till
over twenty newspaper columns was nd-
drcb.sed by Mr. lllulnoto Sir Julian 1'auiice-
Joto frofn Bar Harbor hist Saturday ,
in it the secretary says.ti"l | uui instructed
toy the president to say that the United
States \vllllng to consider nil the proceed
ings of April 10 , 1SSS , ns cancelled , so fur as
American rights may bo concerned. This
government will ask Cireat Britain
to adhere only to tlio agreement mudu bo-
twiHsn Lord Salisbury and Mr. 1'helps on
July ill , lbS. That was the agreement made
directly between the two governments and
did not Include tlio rights of Kussia. Asking

I'Ybruary 2J , wo leave thoagrooment of April
10 to bo intiliitaiiii'd. If maintained ut all , uv
Itussin , for whi o cause mid for whoso ad

Mr. lllaluo also refer * to Lord Salisbury
statement that political wants la the Unltoc
tSUitcs had caused an interruption of negotia
tions mid not a Canadian objection , and closes
the voluminous correspondence us follows :
"I am Jralllled in assuming that LordSal-
- . ialmry cunnot recur to the remark of

the honors and responsibilities of statehood
was cclehmtcd here today wltji an imposing
demonstration ,
Last night and this morning every Incom
ing train from the north , south , cast and west
brought Its quota of sightseers or participants.
Half rates had been secured on all the road *
and many people availed tbcmsolves of the
opportunity to visit the coining capi
tal nud tnko iu the sights. The decorations
wcro on a more elaborate scale than has ever
before been Itnown \Vyoinlng. .
i In many Imtunces the fronts of buildings
wcro literally hidden under bunting. The
huge front of ono business block was covered
with the word " \Vyonilng" In tremendous
letters of bunting , while another front dis
played the figures " -I1" as indicative of Wy
oming's number In the roll call of states.
Triumphal arches were thrown across con
venient places and the national emblem floated
from the plimaclo of every public and private
building in the city.
The parade of the day was formed promptly
nt U o'clock. John 1C Jeffrey was grand
marshal mid Major II. Glnfcko chief of staff.
The parade was divided Into four divisions
led by the Seventeenth Infantry ,
nnd eight companies of the Seven
teenth infantry from Fort Kussell ,
under command of General Henry N .JMlsu.er ,
presenting a truly martial appearance.
The second division , under command of W.
L. Kuykcndnll , contained n long nrravof car
riages with state , federal , county nnd city
olllcials. representative ladles , orators and
others down ou the programme of exercises ,
and company 1C , girl guards , handsomely

with Hugs had boon erected for the accommo
dation of the speakers.
In front of the building was a solid mass of
people extending far out into tlio streets.
The balconies , windows nnd every coign of
vantage in the building had been seized by
eager sightseers. In addition to tlio speakers
the stand contained u trained chorus of 100
voices under charge of Prof. Pnssmorc.
The proceedings were opened with an in
vocation by Hev. Dr. Cowhide , llo was fol
lowed liy Sirs. Theresa A. Jenkins
whose subject was ' -A. New State. " She
spoke with entire self-possession and with
the forceful ability of a trained orator. Her
speech was by far the best delivered during
tbo day.
A costly silk flag purchased with contribu
tions from the ladles ivus presented to the
state by Mrs. Esther Morris , the oldest
woman Milfraglst in "Wyoming , nnd the only
woman iu tlio stuto who lu her early days
nctod us justlco of the peace. The ling was
.received on belialf of the sUite hy Governor

Ladies , for and on the part of the great state
of "Wyoming , I tliank you sincerely for this
bea-utiful stand of colors and I assure you it

hot air baleen caught in the guy ropes , upset
and spilled all the hot air spilled out. The
ascension will bo attempted again In the
