his former colleagues and frIends , having
a pleasant word for each and now and then

atve ot the Press association was standing .
the latter heard him remark : " ' . ' , 'ell , you
have come to see me In my wilderness. We
are not accustomed to such grand visitors In

doubt the competency or the Canadian government -
erment to deny there will he no new arrangement -
rangement negotiated In place or the present
Inelclent system Imposed by the Bering sea
arbitration for the proteclon or seals. Such
an arrangement , whether It took the form era
a treaty or a modus vivendi , would be ne-
golated directly between lie United States
and Great Britain. or course I Is assumed
that the British would consul the Canadian
government before commlttnp themselves ,
hut It Is a maler of record that the first
i'iodmus vlvell was even entered Into against
the CanadlanB' wishes , who naturally can be
counted on LO favor absolute freedom In the

on January 2 : Secretary Gresham addressed ,
a note to Sir Julan lluncerote , the British
ambassador here calling his attention to the
Inadequacy of time present arrangement , and
suggesting a modification to further restrict
time fisheries. I Is true that as yet no reply
hRB been received front the British embassy.
