In Ohio , Secretary Sherman bus pub lished his views In the shape of the follow ing letter , addressed to the editor of the Cincinnati Volksblatt : "DEPARTMENT OP STATE , WASHING TON , D. C. , Oct. 20 , 1897. To L Markbrelt , Esq , Cincinnati , O. : My Dear Sir Your note ot the 23d Inst. , In which you request my view of the coming election In Ohio and In Hamilton county , Is received. I have caie fully t/bserved the progress of thu canvass with Increasing Interest as It advanced and can hardly express In language my apprecla. lion ot Its Importance My chief regret Is that 1 could not personally participate In It , as by a usage carefully obrcrved from the days of Jefferson to this time , the seciotaly of state Is excluded from actively sharing In political dltcusslon other than on foreign affairs "I look upon the pending canvass In Ohio as a retrial of the Issues Involved In the election of 1SOG State Issues , If any , do not Boom to bo the subject of debate : Naturally , the first Issue is now whether the adminis tration of William McKinley thus far Is ap proved by thu people of Ohio. Upon this question there ought not to be any difference of opinion. Ills prompt calling together of.th congress of the United States to t/rovide requisite revenue for the support of the government and his recommendation of the prompt repeal of the feeble and Indefensible tailff law , known as the Wilson-Gorman law , has met with gen eral appioval. The revival ot all Indus tries and the commencement ot prosper ity In all ports of the United States were the natural and necessary result ot the ac tion ot the president and a republican con gress. TARIPP DISCUSSION. "Tbo tariff laws liave been the subject ot discussion from the days of Washington to the days of McKlnley. From the tlmo I en tered congrebs In 1855 to this hour I have at every election heard botli In and out of con- gicss of the respective merits of a revenue tariff and a protective tariff , and upon these questions the two great parties have taken opposite sides. The Morrlll tariff , passed In March , 1SC1 , Is the text of the policy ot pro tection to our American Industries , and , though greatly changed from tlmo to time to meet new conditions , It still forms the ground work of the policy of the republican party In respect to the tariff. "This act was passed at a period of devel opment with light taxes and Increasing pop ulation. The avciage yearly expenses of the national government from IS 10 to 1SGO , in cluding the CMienses * bf the Mexican wai , were about $50,000,000. The civil war changed all th'a Its cost has been stated as over $0,000,000,000. To meet this enoi- mous ( lemsud the duties on Imported gooJs were greatly Increased and Internal ta\es In ( ilmost every form were levied on domestic products and upon the Income of Individuals and corpoiathns The ascertained national debt at the c'cao of the war vras $2,740,000.- 000 , but this was greatly enlarged by claims nfterwaids prcpentcd and by the most llbera ! pensions ever provided by law. On the face of these obligations and expenditures the Intel est of the debt and every year from ISCfi to 1833 a portion of the principal of the public debt was ' .aid , thus reducing It to $9 1,131,700 on July 1 , 1S93. M'KINLKV TARIFF ACT. "In 1S10 congrcbs passed what Is known ns the McKlnley tariff act , which was a care ful icvlslon of all existing revenue laws I largely 1 educed Internal taxe.3 anil carefully revised the tariff laws then In force. If I hail remained on the statute book to this tlnu > the policy of protection and debt paying would have largely reduced the public deb and prevented the sevcro stringency that fol lowed Its repeal "It Is tha-doclared purpose of the icpub- llcan r rty to lestore ami ma'citaln the policy embodied In the McKlnley tariff act and the rec-nt tariff act known as the Dingier tariff It Is unfortunate that the beneficial provi Blons of the latter act cannot bo In full opei otloa for a year or more , owing to excessive Impcrtatlons under \Vllscci-Gorman act but I confidently believe that wlth'n a yea under the ( iroscnt law the revcnun of th government will bo ample to pay not only current expenditure's , but a largo bum yearly In reduction of the public debt. To sccui this desirable , result the republican part must ba sustained not only in Ohio , but tb United Stitte-s. runn COINAGE. "Another auction , of public policy of eo.ua Impedance to the tariff Is what Is known a tl'p. free coinage of silver without regard t Ha market value or the action of the grea commercial nations of the world. Silver am gold have , since the framing ot the constllu tlon , been the standard coins of our country but the lolatlvu market value of each ha changed from llnio to time. The colnag ratio nf the Collar Is thu ounce of gold as th equivalent of slxtceiv ounces ot sliver. In th coinage ot parts of dollars the latlo of alive to gold Is about fourteen ounces of silver t one * of gold , but the legal tender ot aui minor coin ! ) Is limited to $10. Within th last twenty years the market price ot sllve Imlllon has been reduced more than one-bal go that one ounce of gold Is now equal 1 value to thirty-nine ounces ot silver. Not withstanding this vvldo diversity ot the mar hit value of the two money metuU , th United Stctea and nil the leading conimtrcU nations of the world have maintained tbel silver coins without change. This waa don and could only be done bv limiting tbo ue of the cheaper metal ud by coining only o government account. "It la now piopoeed as the cardinal prln clple ot scattered parties that the liolde ot any atlvur bullion without regard to It market value muy present U to the mint o have II coined Into dollars and mndo legal tender for all debts , public or private. At present the silver In a dollar Is worth about 41 cents It would seem that this bold and .iniisparcnt proposition of repudiation of more tlmrt one-half of all debts , public and private , In the United States would shock the public sentiment of honest people and secure Its prompt rejection , nut , strange as It may seem , It Is defended by so many that we arc. bound to consider their reasons before we denounce ] It as a fraud. SILVER GOES DOWN. "It Is said that free coinage would bring up theprlcu of silver bullion to the ratio of 1C to 1. There la not the slightest ground for this opinion. Silver has gone down In prlco precisely as Iron , tin , copper or , In cited , thu price of all the inelals except gold. The development In the process of miner alogy has kept paie with the cheapening of nearly all the productions of skill known as manufactures. Even gold may decline In rel ative \alue as the result ot the recent de velopment of mines In several parts of the earth , but from Its superior value In the smallest space and being less affected by rorroslon than any other money metal , It Is now and will continue to be the standard of value In the chief nations of the world. Sil ver will bo largely used In all countries for minor coins and If limited In amount and re deemed at Its coinage value , or made a legal tender for limited sums , It will bo largely absorbed for minor transactions but Its free coinage ) for all who demand It would at once make It the sole coin In circulation , prevent the coinage of gold and place our great and powerful country In financial operations among the minor and poorer nations of the woild. This is the Issue that will largely control the vote of Ohio next week. TUIUUTD TO M'KINLEY. "Asldo fiom this Important measure , the people of Ohio thould bear In mind that one of the most eminent citizens of the state Is now president of the UnlteJ States. He is especially entitled to your kind and consid erate favor and deserves praise for the care ful selection and appointment of officers of the United States There has been no abrupt histo in making changes , and while from the nature of things ho could not appoint all who applied for omcc , } et the changes lie did make met with and deserved the approval of the republican party. It Is Impossible for any executive officer charged with the dutj of ap pointment to meet the wishes of all. Many must bo disappointed , but they will all concede - cede that they have had a fair hearing , for no president could have given applicants moro kindly and patient attention , nor could any president have felt moro keenly his In ability to comply with the wishes of his friends. 'As to the Issues of the future , I can say 1th absolute confidence that In the future , s in the past , the mode of levying duties n Imported goods and the free coinage of liver will be the dividing lines of the two real parties. It may bo that the benefits f protection will bo so apparent that th3 outh , now already becoming a nianufactur- nfi communjty , and the west , filled with ilneral resources of untold value , may be onvcrted to the policy ol protecting their ascent Industries by tariff laws And It lay bs that the manufacturing Industries of ho cast may become so strong as to oppose utles on raw materials , thus reversing their > oslttons. This would be a change of posi- lon In the sections , but the issue would re- naln. PLEA FOR THD TICKET. "As for the ticket that Is presented by ho republican party there ought to be no Ivlsion of opinion among republicans Gov- rnor Bushncll has proved to be an able and xcellent officer , has performed his duties 0 the entire sttlsfactlon of the people , has > een honest and faithful and deserves your icarty support.

IISSES FOR DICK CHOKER T&mraany Heaps Dishonor Upon One of Its Big Men , RICHARD INSULTED IN HIS OWN C\MP : iitliiixlnnt CnllN for ClieerH for CroKcr nnd IN Greeted with IUHHL-M Curler Iliirrlxou nnd ll NEW YORK , Oct. 28. Richard Croker wis oundly hissed at Tammany hall tonight at ho first large meeting of the campaign , vhcro the Tamnnny manager had made his ppcarance. H was at the big meeting at ended by Mayor Harrison and 300 Cook ounty democrats. Crokcr's plan was to irlui ; them here ; he was chairman of the ommlttco that welcomed them and ho sat proudly upon the platform smiling on his ucetu when the meeting opened. The audl- nee WSB a highly enthusiastic one. Mayor larrlson was on the platform and the Chi- ca.no delegation occupied front Beats" In the mil. Owing to the repeated interruptions at Tammany gatherings , care was taken to keep George shoutcrs out of the hall. Former Vinbassador James B. EnaHs was cheered vhen ho arose to speak and during the de- Ivery of his speech ho was cheered liberally. The Chicago men were warm'y greeted by- he crowds In the galleries. There was re newed cheering when Mayor Harrison ap- ) carcd on the platform , accompanied by tlchard Cro\cr. One of the most rcmarkablo things that has over occurred at a Tammany hall meeting ook place just then. Some ono called for hree cheers for Richard Croker. The response was n storm of hisses that swept over the hall. Not a cheer was given and ho man who called for them thought ho vould try again. In a very loud voice ho called for three cheers for Richard Croker. There was a feeble response this time , but ho chceia were drowned by hissing Croker retired to a seat far back on the stage. EUSTIS SPEAKS. James R. Eustls , former ambassador to France , was the first speaker. Mr. Eustls did not mention the silver question or the Chicago cage platform. Referring to the campaign of 1800 , he said the tariff question would be an overshadowing Issue , while the Cuban question might reach an acute stage. Deal ing with the Cuban troubles Mr. Eustls con tinued : "The democratic party now demands de cisive action upon this Cuban question. It has always sympathized with all oppressed people struggling for their freedom It does not ask this administration to violate Its treaty obligations or to disregard Its neutral ity Kiws , but It does ask that the moral weight and sympathy of this great govern ment shall bo on the side of thd Insurgents anj not on the side of the Spanish govern ment. It will repudiate any shifting , hesltat Ing or vacillating policy upon the Cuban fluestlon by this administration. Our navy was not built to play the roleof police of- fleer to the government of Spain. Our fore fathers In their struggles for Independence welcomed filibustering expeditions to our shores. Spain must remember that Ameri cans have erected monuments to the memory of the most Illustrious filibuster that the world has produced , and that his name Is venerated at every American fireside I mean General Lafayette. "Tho democratic party agrees with John Sherman when ho declared In the senate that we cannot afford to have an Armenia at our very doors. That this cruel , barbarous , devastating war must be stopped and that the Cubans are entitled to their Independence. Wo caution our government not to be out witted or bo fooled by Spanish diplomacy. " CARTEtt HARRISON. Mayor Harrison was next Introduced to the audience. He said : "In no sense do I make any pretense to being a public speaker. I am only a p'aln business man. I am crit icized for coming to New York. This crit icism comes chiefly from two men In Chicago and I do not suppose their words count for more hero than In Chicago. One of them Is W. J. Strong. ( Great hooting. The crowd thought ho was referring to Mayor Strong ) Mr. Strong has been a prominent candidate for offlco and has never got there. His in fluence in Chicago is that of a cipher with the circle wiped out. John Z. White says the laboring men of Chicago are opposed to my coming to New York. Mr. White stands on the roll of Typographical union No 18 as an expelled member , I do not pretend to represent anybody except myself , but a largo majority of the gentlemen who accompanied mo can bo found in every representative gathering of democrats In Chicago. They hope for the election of Judge Van Wyck. The newspapers describe the county democ racy of Chicago as an aggregation of 'bums. ' They are all representative and patriotic gentlemen. "You have been suffering from a eevere Infliction of so-ca led reform government. If this Is typical of reform I thank God lie made mo a partisan. You have a govern ment that Is strong In name only ; by It bus iness Interests have been forgotten , the local end of It Is held by men who are not cltlzers of New York , as If In this city men compe tent could not be found to manage thn affairs. It secirs that among the men who voted for your mayor there could have been found some able to take charge of the city's affairs. STICKS TO BRYAN. "I believe that national Issues should not be Introduced Into local campaigns. I upheld the doctrines of the equalization of gold and Ellvcr , In which 6,000,000 of our people regis tered their belief , and I adhere to the party and Its pure leader. ( Cheers ) "On no question was the democratic plat form of 18D6 more emphatic and explicit than In referring to the question of mo nopolies Never In the history of the Ameri can republic have the Americans been sj opposed to monopolies and trusts , The dying tilbuto , government by Injunction , that mon- btroulty born of monopoly , and all such things must be abolished. The first fight of the democratic party today and In the future will be against the monopolies and corpora tlon greed. I am not an anti-trust shouter , I believe trusts should continue to exist and continue to bo strong , but at the same time respect the people , their masters- "There Is another principle of democracy which I would like to discuss and that that theio Is no principle closer connected with democratic Ideas than liberty , You have In your city the Ralnts law ( hlsgea ) . which makes the question of liberty a byword , If I were In youi city I would never rest easy under that odloua law made by a lot ot buckwheat statesmen , " ( Great applause. ) The chairman announced that the band with ( bo Chicago delegation and which had been said ( o be nonunion was composed at Knights of Labor. Perry Belmont wasjthen Introduced He had a long speech prepared , but he cut It short. Nobody applauded hlfti Several local speakers then addressed the meeting. Richard Croker and Mayor Harrison left before the meeting ended. The overfiow meetings on the outside were addressed by number of Wigwam orators. FATHER DUfcfcY SPBAKS. Before 8 o'clock tonight the great hall of Cooper Union was filled to thn doors with a mass of men and some women , who had come to ihear Father Ducey ot St. Leo's Catholic church speak on "Greater New York and Bosses. " Hundreds of people were turned away. On the platform were men nnd women , chiefly , It Is said , members of the priest's congregation. When Father Ducey came forward there were enthusiastic cheers for a moment , dur ing which the audience stood on their feet and waved their hats. The cheering broke out agjln and again and Father Ducey remained standing by the side of the desk. After the audtenco finished applauding the glcrgyman some ono called for cheers for Henry George and this time the audience stood on their feet and shouted even longer than they did for Father Ducey. The cheering was taken up three tlmca for George and when It had been subsided for the last time for him three j cheers were called for Dr MEGlynn , and once j moro the halt echoed In enthusiastic applause. It took some minutes .for this cheering to quiet and then Father Ducoy without the usual formal Introduction begin his talk. Father Ducey denounced Richard Croker and Senator Platt In vigorous words He then went on to say that bo bad known John Kelly well and had watched at his bedside night and day for four motif's until Mr. Kelly groaned : "I'm killing mybclf and vou. " 'He told me , " said Ducoy , "that Tammany hall had corrupted moro young men than lie could tell me of. Young men went to the legislature and when bills came up they iccclved word how to vtite for their master and If they did H the first time , It was easier the next. " SETII LOW SPEAKS. Seth Low spoke twice on Staten Island tonight. The first address was at a German mass meeting In the German club rooms at Staplctou. From thcrejho went to the Prohibition audltoilum , where an audience of 5,000 persons , half of them women , awaited him. Mr. Low was escorted by a largo body ot cluol children , each bearing a flag , to the platform. He promlsedrgood schools and clean streets. The visit of Mayor Cartel Harrison of Chicago and the Cook county democrats was referred to by Mr. Low , who pictured New Y rk at the feet of Chicago , and wanted to know what had become ot the home rule cry raised by Tammany not long ago MrLov < wast repeatedly cheered Mr. Low and Charles S.'Falrchlld addressed 2,000 people at Lion parkln this city late ( tonight.

Luetgert sent ) for ex-Assistant State's Attorney Ramsey today to consult with him relative to taking charge of the new trial. A very heated conversation , It Is said , took place between' Luetgert and his counsel at the jail yesterday. Ex-Judge Vin cent urged Luetgert to agrte to a reasonable continuance of the case , but be v.as obdurate. Mr. Vincent then told .Luetgert . that he had neglected his own buslness for three months to try the case and he now proposed to have a little time for himself. Luetgert became very angry and sent for Attorney Ramsey today. At 4 o'clock this afternoon Lue'gert ap peared before Judge Chetl4ln with Attorney Phalcn and had his case .continued to the next term of court on hla own motion. State's Attorney Denecn was present. Previous to the continuance It bad been positively agreed by counsel that Luctgert's second trial should begin on November 8 and Luetgert wanted this understood. It vvas necessary to have Luetgert ask for the continuance , as under the law of Illinois a jnhoner held through four terms ot court without a trial Is en titled to his freedom. Luetgcrt has been held that length ot time. ' as the disagree ment of the jury counts us no trial.

Nearly 100 representatives of the skilled labor of Omaha and South Omaha met pur suant to a call In Labor temple list night , The purpose of the gathering was to con sider the attitude which organized labor should sustain toward the proposed Issue ot $100,000 ot county bonds. A report was also to bo submitted from the committee which his been conferring with the exposition man agement regarding the fixing of a wage scale. 0 P. Schrum of the Building Trades' coun cil was nominated as chairman of the meetIng - Ing by acclamation and V. 11. Klnney of the Central Libor union was Installed as secre1- tary. The report of the conference commlt- tcj was heard , which recited the wage scile agreed to by the exposition directory. This was almost the same as had been drafted by the committee and the assembly was well pleased.wlth'tbe result. A resolution was Introduced to extend thanks to the exposition management for its roldlness to grant the scale. A loud and Im mediate opposition arose to this. A member of the Painters' union stated tint they had received only what belonged to them. He did not sec that he should thank any one , least ot all Mr. Hitchcock , whom he bad al ways Known as opposed to organized labor , cspechlly dining the recent painters' strike. A number ot others spoke in the same spirit and the resolution was heavily snow oil under. WAS ONLY THEIR DUB. A vote of thanks to the commmlttco anJ especially to Fred M. Youngs , as the repre- bctatlve of libor on the executive board , was then placed before the house A per severing member again endeavored to tack on an amendment tendering thanks to the whole board , but the opposition was so vig orous that he recognised the necessity of withdrawing it. Ono of the striking car penters present freed his mind on the lat ter question. He said that It was a business proposition , and repeated that labsr hid only received Its just due. Ho would feel In a moro gratctul mood , he stated. If the dhectory had not yesterday depilvcd them of tholr ground passes , thus denying them' ' the right to Impart their view ot the situa tion to the outside men who might apply for work. Not satisfied with thH verdict , the subject was again put In the form of a motion and was again defeated. Incidentally the matter of the Geraldlne regime was brought up and vigorously treated by many workmen who Iwvo felt the Insults and hardship of his rule. It was asserted that there could be na hope ot carrying a bond proposition as long as the picsent suspicion of the superintendent of construction lodged in the minds of the pee ple. Accordingly , a resolution was read by F. A. Kennedy , In which Geraldine's vvlth- diawal was requested of the exposition direc tory. Upon this a clause , thanking the di rectory for Its recent action , was finally engrafted , and the resolution passed as fol- ows : WANT GCRLADINE REMOVED Wherca , The directory of the Trans- mlsslsslppi Exposition bns unanimously adopted a resolution granting the icquest of organized labor In reference to the -wage cilo and hours of labor constituting : .1 [ lay's vvoik ; therefore be It Resolvrd , Tr.at organized labor return u vote of thanks to the executive committee for Its considerate action upon , our reason able i e < iuest.

A manifesto presented by W. H. Bell pro voked further discussion. It was a type written appeal for support for tlie bonds , apparently carefully prepared la advance. One mom'ber ' wanted to make Its publica tion conditional on the removal of Geraldlno , and his remarks wrro seconded In several quarters , but finally the address was agreed to as follows , without opposition : ADDRESS TO CONFERENCE. To the 1-aborIns Classen ot DouglaH County , whether Oiijanlrcd or Unorganized , Skilled or Common Greeting : The mem bers and olllccru of the Central Labor union and the members and officers of tbo Omn-a Building Tiades council , at a meotln called for the purpose , have authorized the following statement to bu mudo and nppeal Issued to nil classes of labor In Douglas county : In protecting the rlffhtB and supporting the Interests of the laboring classes of this community the labor unions of this city have foi some time had dlfferencon with the management of tbo exposition retardIng - Ing a scale of wages and the hours of work. These differences have been made public nnd from tlmo to tlmo the dlscus'lons aris ing out of them have tended to place or ganized labor In an apparent antagonism to the exposition. The real facts , are , how ever , that organized labor has never been antagonistic to the exposition , but only struggling to protect HB Interests and at the game time the Interests of unorgunUed labor. The first fruits of those efforts resulted In securing from the management of the exposition u resolution that the minimum VV.IITOS paid for common labor should ho tl.W ) per day and the last fruits of these efforts have been the passage of n resolu tion affording to skilled labor the eight- hour day and union scale of wages , With these differences adjusted organized ! labor once more stands In harmony with the management of the exposition. From the very Inception of this en.nl enterprise orgunlzed labor has been Its ndvocujo uml Its supporter. Even In the times of seem ing antagonism H has at heart been true to the exposition project , because It haa been confident that all clauses of this com munity would reap great nnd lusting- bene fits from It.

The failure to -vote these bonds would mean mote than the loss ot J100.000 to the 1 iborlng Interests of this city ; it nvould moan a black e > o to the exposition. 1C would mean a cutting down of plans , not only on exposition buildings yet to be let , but It would mean the abindonment of numerous private pio- jccts dependent on the exposition nnd destined to give much employment to the laborer To defeat the bonds would be to announce to the world tnat we had no faith In the exposition at home and that the promised support -which It was o receive from the people of Omaha and South Omaha , had not materialized. Such an announcement would greatly reduce the attendance nt the exposition , iind"greatly reduce the quantity of money which vvo hope to be brought to Omaha and left In Omaha by the vlbltlng thousands We therefore nppc.al to the laboring men oC Omaha and South Omaha , -whether they are engaged in the building trades or In other occupation" , to vote for these bonds at the coming election for the reaton that Jiey mean a greater dfmand for labor nnd better times for'.all classes To those ot tbo laboring class -who are t.ajpijtis nndiwiio may feel thit the voting of these bonds means an Increase of taxes wo beg to say that It Is Insignificant ; If you pay taxes , on a tax valuation of $ . " 00 the voting of these bonds will only Increase your taxes 22 cents .a year , or less than 2 cents a month. We , therefore , having fought this fight and won this victory In the Interests of labor , appeal to those for whom we have fought to ratify our action , to rc.lsler on Siturday nnd on Tuesday to give their hearty support to the bond proposition.

In reliable quar ters It Is stated that the conference between Russia , Japan and the United States , now proceeding heic In reference to scaling In tbo Bering sea and the North Pacific , has ad vanced to an Imiortaiit stage and that a proposition has been roJuced to writing , which , If accepted , will hi lug about a com- ilctu change In the bcallng question , The imposition Is said to bo acceptable to the Jnltcd State ? . It Is understood tu bo ac ceptable similarly to the Russian delegates now here , but In viewot the restrictions placed upon them by their credentials 11 baa Dceii thought desirables to cable to St. Peters burg for final Instructions The Japanese delegates .are understood to have felt at lltst that thu pro ] > osltlon would not be In their Intercut , but on fuller confei- once Mr. rujlta determine ! to cable the substance - stance of the proposition to his government , accompanying it v.lth a recommendation ot its acceptance Little doubt la entertained that Russia will accept the proposition , and In view of Mr Fujlta's lecommonJatlon It la , believed that Japan will also Join In It. NATURi : OP PROPOSITION. The greatest secrecy Is prcscived In all ofll- clal quarters as to the nature of the proposi tion and it Is not olllc'ally admitted that any proposition has been maile From equally lellablo sources It Is understood that the proposition has a far-reaching scope and pro vides for the material limitation or cntlro suspension ot poligic healing or sealing ou the high seas Sucl. 5 decisive step It agreed to by Russia , Japan and the United States , would , It is understood , not Involve any con certed move to menace the claims of Great Hrltaln and Canada to the light of pelagic sealing on the high seas , but would rather bo a proposition expressive of the conclusions of the three most Interested powers , that In the Interests ot humanity and. the preserva tion of the seal herds of their respective governments all nations , Including Great Britain and its colony , Canada , should uulto with Rubsla , the United States and Japan la such effective prevention ot pelagic scaling on , the high bcas as will put an end to It and thereby secure the preservation ! of the seals. PLEDGE OF SECRECY. * The deliberations of the conferees leading up to the proposition were productive of numerous Interesting amflmportant features. All ot the members of the conference were placed under a pi dge ot seciecy , and they have maintained this with the greatest care. It bccamo evident at the outset that the United States and Russ a weic prepaud to go further than Japan. At all tlmos theio were the m.bt cordial relations among the conferees , and a dedie to reach an under standing In the cas > of Russia It developed to some extent tint Us. action was conditioned by a modus \lvendl made botvMien Great Britain and Russia about the tlmo the Paris court ot arbitration was sitting and covering the , course of those two countries concerning the fur seals on Russian Islands and tbo sur rounding waters Hut little had been known of this mod lib until the conference met. Under It aone of neutral water was estab lished thirty miles wideMirroundlng the Russian Islands , within which Great Brltal'i agreed to suspend pelagic sealing. While , this was of material advantage to Russia , yet It wab felt that an/ proposition foi tl.s cntlro suspension nf pelagic healing even , beyond thirty miles , woild have to bo rec onciled with the modus Vivendi. It was felt that this could bo done , as the. modus was not a continuing ngi cement , but was from year to year depending for Its existence on the annual rcadoptlon by the British Parliament. ' The labt act of Parliament carried the modus up to December 31 next. It was cleatly ilio desire ot the Russian delegates to Bccuro the largest possible pi election for Hi fur seals , and this established throughout the dellbeiatlons a close co-opcratlon be tween the United States and Russia , JAPAN'S POSITION. AH to Janan It wan not BO clear that Its Interests were for furtner restrictions on pelagic sealing On tbo controly , ona of the Japanese delegates tald that Japan had moro Intel est in catching seals thin In preserving them. Moi cover , It a i pea red that Japan no longer bad any fur seals , although Its pos sessions of sea otters an animal like tt.o seal , was consldeab'e When Japan's at titude was thus defined the general feeling within the conference was that the United States and Russia weio united with the view of protecting seals by energetic ineasuieu. while Great Britain and Japan occupied sub stantially the ujpcfilte position. Owing to Japan's position , the oplnlcn of the seal ex perts was laid bcftro the Japanese icpro- sentatlves. This was to the effect tlut Japan's seal possessions were little or nothing at present , yet by judicious mirfllnu Us decimated rookeries would bo restored and a largo heal property be built up. la this view ot the exports Japan's present In terest In killing the keals would be moio than offset in time by the Interests It would acquire ) by u full inflection of tln > seals. This expert view sii'ina to have bei'n convincing on the Jv-panene deli-gateo , for , i. already btatcd , Mr Fujlta not only cabled ibe proposition to Japan , but accompanied It with bis favoiuble rei-ommcndutlou. The conferees being thus agreed , It only remained to bear from the respective gov ernments tlu'y represented An adjournment was accordingly taken until next Monday , by which time It Is not doubted the govern ments at St. Petersburg and Toklo will hava taken final action KIUENI > I. < V TO ENGLAND.
