No ex- ception being taken, Colonel Hay sup- posed the matter was settled until the ac- tion taken last Wednes , when it was announced thet the Marqnis of Salisbury never contemplated taking part in a con- ference in wh.ch Russia and Japan were represented, having always contended, as shown in his dispatch of May 9, that they have no locus standi. It is a'so pointed out that the Marquis of Salisbury’s letter of July 29 distinctly says that Great Brit had agraed to a meeting of British, Canadian and Ameri- can experts.

LONDON, Enx Sepl. 28.—The Times this morning says: “The insistence of the American Government upon e.ther an in- ternational conference or the admission of representatives of Russia and Japan at the meeting of experis can only tend to delay an agreement upon the basis of ae- certained facts, and torender it improb. able that the new regulations will be ready 10 be enforced in the summer of 1898, +1t is obvious that a conference between the United States, Russia and Japan, witbout England, could not in the small- est degree affect the binding character of the Paris award. A revision of the award should be determined by the common agreement of the Governments of the United Statesand Great Britain. No other powers have any right to a controlling voice therein., “It may be added that as the American claim was founded originally on the con tention that the United States is the suc. cessor in title to ail the rights of Russia in the Bering Sea, it seems a strange pro- ceeding 'o contend that Russian interests in that quarter justify a demand for the separate representation of a power not i plicaied in the award. *“When Great Britain has settled with the United Siates whether the regulations are to be revised and in what way there will be nothing to prevent the Govern- ments from negotiating their extension to the western coasts of the Pacific Ocean, tain number of their Canadian neizhbors.

With the return of Sir Julian it is be- lieved that steps will be taken by the British authorities to negotiate reciproc- | ity treaties under the new tariff laws between the United States and the British- American colonies.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 27.—The Inter Ocean’s Washington correspondent tele- Confiden t graphs: While the foreizn press is stil excited over Uncle Sam’s “ultimatum’” to Srain the Presi- dent and his advisers are serene and confident that General Woodford will handle the Cuban question with discre- tion and that there will be no war unless Spain realizes that only by declaring war again<t the United States can s.e tind an opportunity ‘o let 56 ot 'Cuta and explain it satisfactorily to her owu peoble.

MADRID,SpaIN,Sept, 27.—United States Minister Woodiord paid a visit of courtesy this morning to the Spanish Premier, Gen- | eral Azzacaraga. General Woodford told the Premier that | he had not visited him yesterday because | it was Sunday. He expressed his firm de- | termination to work unceasingly to pro- | mote good relations between the United States and Spain. General Azzacaraga uttered similar sen- timents in reply. Before leaving General Woodford said he bad been greatly touched by the sym- | pathetic welcome given him by the Queen | Regent. Then, accompanied by his secre- tary. he paid a formal visit to the Marquis | de Amposta, Under Secretarv of State. Several newspapers of this city allege | that General Woodford has said in inter- | views with their representatives that the negotiations bestween the United States and Spain on the subject of Cuba have not begun, and that it was only a preliminary | chat he had with the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs. The general is quoted as having adde! ihat he found the Duke of Tetuan the mostamiable and able man, and no uliimatum to Spain was delivered, as Spain would not put up with it, and be- cause the intention of the United States was only to offer its good offices in the most iriendly terms. Secretary Sherman still, according to | the interviews in the Spanish newspapers, desires a solution of the Cuban question by November at the latest, as he fears the “jingoes” will make themselves heard on the reassembling of Congress. Finally, it is alleged that General Wood- ford has said that in the event of complete | that the adminisiration wiil do all | its power to seitle that question in a way accord being established between Spain without going to war. “But I belicve the American people will be satistied with the action of the admin- istration regarding Cuba when it is taken and made public.

BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 27.—A desire to see the relics of Greely’s last camp at | Cape Sabine sent large crowds to Lieuten- | ant Peary’s steamer to-day, but not a | glimpse of the mysterious things was to | be had for love or money. Not even the | boxes in which they are packed were to | be seen, they being stowed away under | locks and grards in the hold of ttie Hope, thero to remain until Peary decides what be will do with tnem. Of the hundreds who visited the vessel, paying 25 cents for the privilege, there were few who did not ask about the relics, but the answers of the crew and Peary's associates were that they cou d not be seen and that Peary was not yet ready to talk about them. Early this morning the crew of the Hope were reminded that their contracts called for abso'ute obedience of Lieuten- ant Peary’s orders; that Peary wished nothing said to reporters about Greely's would lead to trouble. This had the effect of sealing tighter than ever the lips of the sailors. The scientists of the party are in a peculiar position — gentlemen every one of them, they will not violate their promise not to talk, much as some they will not state that Peary’s statement as to what was found covers the case, and say that the finds were not or the pleas- antest kind. * Peary is much disturbed by the partial penetration of the mystery in which he | has wrapped the Greely souvenirs, and ! he iseven less willing to talk about ‘the matter now than he was before he went to Washington. There he consuited with high officials of the army and navy, and, it is said, met General Greely. The re- | ported meetiug of the explorers is said to have been spent almost wholly in dis- cussing the visit to the camp of the for- mer, the topic most likely to appeal to both men, and it is understood among | members of Peary’s party now here that his desire to keep secret the whole story of the relics 1s the result of the conference. The last days at Cape Sabin have never been a favorite topic of discussion with Greely.
