The project was broached lu a propteltlon
to confer upon the urchblflhrp of Canter

of all the branches of Anglican and Epis
copal churches in all parte of the world ,
but It was stamped out Instantly by the
American bishops , who. without waiting to
eec whether it would receive the approval
of any other Bcctlcn of conference , declared
unequivocally that they could not even con
sider such a scheme. The proposition wan
dropped , but the English colonial bishop * I
could not conceal 'their disappointment that
what evidently had been one of their main
objects In the conference signally failed.
It le a matter of general observation In
diplomatic and ministerial circles here that
the new United States ambausador , Mr. Hay ,
has acquitted himself with a singular tact
under exceptionally difficult circumstances.
Ever flnce he arrived In London he has been
surrounded by special missions the Jubilee
ambassador , the bimetallic commlrsloncis and
the Bering neo commissioner the presence
of which raided Innumerable delicate points
of diplomatic urage and the authority of
which might have derogated from Mr. Hay's
dignity , had not he KEscrted himself through.
out with courteous firmness ) . The policy of
these special missions is strongly condemned
among diplomatists. They have effected
nothing which could not have been accom
plished equally well , or better , through the
offices of the regular ambassador.
Mrs. Hay will sail on the Teutonic August
4 for New York , accompanied by her son
and daughter. Mrs. Hay has made a de
cided hit in London mciety. and bids fair
to become one of the most prpular women
of the diplomatic carp ? . She Is an excellent
hcfitees , dignified , and at the tame time
bright and unaffected. Both she and her
husband are respected nil the more because
they are thoroughly American , without any
suspicion of Inclination to Indulge lu emu
lation of England or the English. The
English palate was cloyed by Mr. Buyard'p
flatteries. Ambassador Hay will leave for
Scotland on a round of visits a few diys
after Mrs. Hay's departure. He will be
absent Irorn London. , during which time em
bassy affaire will be In the bane's of Secre
tary White.
General Miles ha.s left London for Carls
bad. While in Germany he will complete at
Krupp'e and other great manufactories of
-arms his Inquiries into the question of ar
tillery and caost defenses. He intends to
finish his report on the continent , and will
only pass through London on hl way back
to the United States. He told me that he
has accumulated a vast sum of valuable
Information which will be laid before the
ordnanca department In detail. . General
Miles has performed his work in a thor
oughly businesslike manner. He was af
forded every facility in England to gather
the Information required. In Germany and
France his tack will be more difficult , OB
the continental war departments carry the
policy of secrecy to absurd lengths.
William Waldorf Astor , who had been
suffering from liver troubles , has Just re
turned to London from Marlenbad , where
he took the cure with satisfactory results.
He will start Immediately on a tour of
Sweden and -Russia , accompanied by h's two
sons. His daughter will remain at Cliveden
for a few weclcs. Mr. Astor will travel
with a suite of three servantn and a courier ,

Miss Ethel Barrymore bos received a larger
share of social success than falls to the
lot of most American girls in London. Dur

| LONDON , July 31. Much satisfaction Is
' expressed in ofllcial and mercantile circles
I at the prospective settlement uf the seal
J
{ | queotlon by aid of the Washington contor-
| \ enco , especially as such an arrangement will
! remove a cause of hot discussion between
the United States and Great Britain. Al
though ut the outset of Mr. Foster's journey
diplomatists and newspapers here ridiculed
the Idea that there was ythlng necessary
to be done , Ambassador Hay and Mr. Foster
.have completely changed this view , and
Great Britain is finally doing everything
possible to meet the views of the United
States. Doubtless this is partly owing to
the support Mr. Foster's Ideas received from
Rusala and Canada. Sir Wilfred Laurlcr
and Mr. Davlcs have long favored a concil
iatory attitude toward the proposals of the
United States.
The conference will meet the third or
fourth week in October , the exact date being
left to be determined by the arrival of the
British experts from the scaling grounds.
Great Britain will be represented by Sir
Julian Pauucefote , the ambassador , and Prof.
Darcy Thompson. The united States will
probably be represented by John W. Foster ,
Japan by the Japanese minister ut Washing
ton and Russia by a commission headed by
Dr. Martens , professor of international law
at the University of St. Petersburg , who
was delegated by Russia to hold the pour
parler with Mr. Foster. Canada will be
represented by Sir Wilfred Laurler and Mr.
Davies.
The conference will discuso the whole
question ns raised by the United States , will
draft a scheme of protection for the seals ,
with details for carrying out the same , and
will decide all open claims. Its report will
be adopted referendum , but as Russia and
Japan are entirely favorable to the preten
sions of the United States , and at Great
Britain is Indifferent so long as Canada Is
satiufled , the conference may be said to be
a diplomatic triumph for the United States
and a personal triumph for Mr. Foster. Un
less it results in a divided report , which is
not expected , the governments concerned
will immediately embody the scheme in a
permanent agreement , either in the form of
on agreement or a memorandum , so that it
can be executed in the season of 1S9S.
SPAIN WANTS WAR.
A Spanish diplomatist who Is In close
touch with Senor Canovas del Castillo , the
Spanish premier , informs the correspondent
of the Associated press that It is useleso
longer to attempt to disguise the fact that
the Spanish ministry is in.a very tight place.
He says :
" \Ve can .keep up the war in Cuba only
so long as our funds last , and the time when
they will fail Is almost In sight. When it
comes we must give up the struggle. Wo
are too proud a race to do so at anybody's
demand , but we can do BO by pleading force
maleure In a war with the United States.
Such a result naturally would be very un
pleasant to us , but in order to pruvont u
revolution In Spain and the overthrow of
the monarchy war is the only way out.
"The premier knows from President Me-
Kluley direct that the president personally
does not want war and wUihcs to save us
from the cost and the bloodshed. But his
cabinet only partly shares his views , while
the tenate , the house of representatives , the
American press and the people of the United
States favor-a settlement with big guns.
"President McKinley , however , while first
for peace , hao declared himself as not
shrinking from war if peace measures fail.
This Is the .position . ana naturally lends
strength to the Independent course which
General Woodford will pursue. His instruc
tions will be at the outset to attempt to ob
tain for Cuba the peaceful means of Cuban
independence. He is destined to be defeated
in bis proposal the moment it lo made , for
Spain would infinitely prefer war , with or
without the encouragement of other nations ,
to any surrender on the Cuban question.
This Is the fact and the premier sees no
other way out of the question impasse in
Spanish politico. 11 o will court war the
moment the United States becomes Impera
tive in its demands. The wave of great emo
tion and patriotism mich a war would call
out lu Spain would naturally sink all threat
ening domestic questions and disturbances.
The CarllBts , republicans and all others
would unite for the nation ns they could be
united by nothing else ; and when defeated ,
if Spain should be defeated , Cuba could be
surrendered without imperiling all present
political and monarchical institutions. "
The engineers' dlopute has apparently set-
tied down to a prolonged struggle. Both
masters and men are unyielding. The for
mer's position has been strengthened by the
fact that the Northampton cycle employers
hzve joined the employers' federation and
Issued lockout notices to " 5 per cent of their
employes. The engineers have responded by
calling out the other 7D per cent. The mas
ters held a meeting on Wednesday and de
clared that they were more than ever de
termined to resist the action of the en
gineers. It is announced , on the contrary ,
by trade union statements , not signed , that
a member of the employer * ' federation In
tbo vicinity of London had yielded to the
demand for an eight-hour day ,

The rumors iu London concerning the
possible retirement of Secretary Sherman
are re-echoed here , even In official German
and American circles , but with this differ
ence , that Mr. Sherman is to be succeeded
not by Whltelaw Reid , but by Ambassador
White. Gccslp even goes ? tar as to at
tribute Mr. White's hesitation to leave the
Kalaerhof hotel for permanent quarters to
the possibility of his having soon to return
to Washington.
The comments of the German press upon
the Dlngley tariff arc extremely acrid , but
great satisfaction is expressed at the fact
that large quantities of German goods were
Bent to the United States in anticipation of
the event. While wishing to revenge them
selves upon the Americans the most chnu-
veulstlc journals are not blind to the fact
that reprisala on the part of Germany would
surely prove boomerangs.

.KANSAS CITV , Mo. , July 31. The un
usually hot weather here continues. At 2
o'clock this afternoon the government
weather bureau reported 100 degrees of heat
and from 3 p. m. until nearly fi p. m. 101
degrees , or within 2 degrees of the hottest
weather ever known here. The humidity is
low , however , and the atmosphere compara
tively dry , and as a consequence there have
not been over a dozen prostrations and but
one fatality during the two days on which
the thermometer has been above 100.
Reports received here indicate that 100
degrees , and over ot .heat was general today
and yesterday throughout Kansas and north
western iMlfisourl , and that in many ecctloiiB
corlouB damage Is being done to the corn
crop. From southern and western Kansas ,
where hot winds ore blowing , and where
rain has been needed for several days , the
reports are particularly gloomy , several
counties reporting the crop practically de
stroyed. In other sections of the state , north
and east , rain has fallen recently and the
outlook Is more encouraging.

LEADVILLE , Col. , July 31. The day IIK
been full of sensations in court circles. Two
weeks ago District Court Judge Owers de
livered a strong charge to the grand jury
relative to the suppression , of gambling and
prostitution. The charge was directly aimed
at owncra of buildings used for gambling
and prostitution and alleged that prominent
police officIulB were guilty of renting houses
for these purposes. Judge Owers" charge
also demanded an investigation of the prac
tice of the city in collecting licenses for
prostitution nnd gambling. The jury con
sisted of prominent business men and their
ministers , and It was an open secret that
the Jury was not In sympathy with the Judge
in his action.
Today the Jury handed in 'an elaborate re
port and with it some forty Indictments ,
most of them against county officials. There
are two against Judge Owere for falling to
enforce the law nganat gambling , prostitu
tion and Sunday opening , also against the
sheriff , against county cominiK-slonerE for
trafficking lu warrants , ugalmit the present
mayor. C. E. Dickinson , nnd former Mayor
Nicholson for failure to do their duty to
inforce the laws , and ugainat the present and
former boards of aldermen for alleged neglect
of duty.
Judge Owere , after the report of the Jury ,
made an extended Htatcment , alleging that
the report was intended as a deliberate in
sult to the court and that the Jury had failed
in its duty by neglecting to Indict owners
of buildings and certain police ofllclalB , The
entire proceeding has stirred up a tre
mendous sensation and there Is no telling
where it will end.

The Board of Fire and Police Commis
sioners is expected to have * another go nt
the question of a new chief of police at Us
meeting tomorrow evening. AB yet the
resignation from Chief Slgwurt lias nut made
its appearance- and the chief will not say
positively whcthej or not it will be forth
coming.
It bus come out that thename of the dark
horse who Is to be p-ung by the gang which
was formerly behind the candidacy of S. A.
Dannelta Is W. H. Green , a real i < state
dealer. Mr. Green , when approaciiecl yester
day with the- question whether or not ho
was a candidate for the position of chief
of police , declined to express hlmeclt , but
stated that he understood his friends
had presented his name and that he was
lu the hands of his friends. Ills friends
were pushing him , he Kilrt , but he lid i ot
know who they were onJ preferred not to
mention any names. With respect to his
qualifications for police work ho was alee
equally silent , und could not refer to nt.y
experience in the line of police duty on
which his claims might be based. On In
quiry , It was found that the friends referred
to by Mr. Green ta piu'hlng his candidacy
for chief of police- consist almost exUur-lvely
uf W. H. Green himself.
Mr. Green was in the rral estate Imriiifss
in Omaha years ago , , but having boomed
himself out. went south to Mobile rnl : other
southern points and of lute hau been engine !
in booming Texas townslte lots. He has
been busy for several days circulating pe
titions among his fellow real estate dealora
and other friends , and asking for endorse
ments to be presented to the police hoard.
Mr. Green's candidacy , however , Is not en
tirely satisfactory , even to tbo elements that
have been opposing ex-Chief White.
FUSION LEADERS AT SEA.
The commotion which thi > failure of the-
police beard to make a chief has aroused
In fusion circles seems to have spread outside
sideof Omaha. Chairman Dahlman of the
democratic state committee and "W. H.

The action of the World-Herald and Ha .
„
editor In coming out in opposition to Mar- ; < | j-
tin White , after having given repeated prom
ises to prominent democrats that that iwpcr
would not oppose him , and that its e-ditor
and owner would use their Influence- be
half cf White , is still eliciting expressions
of indignation In fusion circles. Th.'e ' Indlg-
uatlon lias been heightened by the more re
cent attempt of the World-Herald to decry
ex-Chief White's record as an officer , par
ticularly when taken In connection with the
promise of Us owner to support him.
"What do I know about cx-Chlef Whlte'a
record as an officer ? " bald ex-Police Commis
sioner D. Clem Deaver last night. "No nt-
tonipt to question Mr. White's ability can
be succetfiful. I was the member of the
police board who went to Chicago In 1B35
to look up Mr. Whlte'B standing , previous to
his appointment as chief of police of Omaha.
To all of uiy inquiries I received only the
most favorable and commendatory replies.
Ex-Chief JVnl'e never claimed to have nerved
on the Chicago police force , and the letters
printed in the World-Herald from Chief Klp-
loy of Chicago giving that information tell
nothing IIPW. Mr. White was assistant spe
cial agent of the Milwaukee- Railway com
pany at the timehe was elected chief of
pollen by our board , and he presented letters
from police authorities which testified to his
long experience In pollen work and exccu-
tlvo ability , proved by handling and dis
ciplining large bodies of men. His services
as chief of police here fully bore out the
reputation which his friends gave him. "
SOME HIGH CLASS TESTIMONIALS.
Sointof the letters of recommendation to
which ex-CommlKslDiier Deaver refers and
which were presented for the inspection ot
members of the board that brought ex-Chief
White to Omaha two years ago are here re
produced :
