EPORTS from Wasnington to the effect that the confer- ence between the United Siates, Russia ana Japan on the seal fisheries bas about reached an agreement give us reason to believe we are at last to get this controversy settled in a way that will be thoroughly satisiactory. A proposition submitted in writing has been found acceptable, it is said, to the United States and to Russia and it 1s expected it will be approved by the Japanese Government, to which it has been referred by the delegates from that nation at the conference. 1f the conierence succeeds in reaching the agreement that is now so confidently exrected the United States will hoid a com- manding position in the dinlomatic game with Great Britain, Balisbury for reasons of his own, and for certain advantages he thought would be thereby gained for his Government, de- clined to take part in a conference on this question, unless the parties 10 it were limited to the United States and Great Briwain. Our Government, therefore, was compeiled to arrange for two conferences. Oae with the two nations Salisbury wisbed to have exciuded, and the other with Great Britain separately. The first isin a fair way to yield results that will make the second an affair of formality only. it isdifficult to see how Salisbury can escape from the checkmate that has been prepared for him, or rather which he prepared for himsel!, by refusing to take part in the conference with Russia and Japan. If the agreement now reported is accepted by Japan and the three nations bind themselves to it, Great Britain must either accege *o it herself or face the opposition of all the powers having 1n- terests in Bering Sea. The United States certainly will not in the second confer- ence arrange with Great Britain terms different from thos :mo has just arrangea with the other powers, It seems, therefore, that Salisbury in seeking to exclude others from the decisive conference has exciuded himself from it. The seal question is to be settled by the United States, Russia and Japan. Great Britain is out in the co!d and all she cen gain from the coming conference with us is to learn how the thing was done. CALIFORNIANS IN NEW .YORK. NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—At the Manhattan, J. Casserly; Metropole, J. W. Gardiner: Grand, N. L Waiter; Holand, Mr. and Mrs. D. Kline; New Amsterdam, Dr. E. Bunnell i1 rurnish him with traveling expenses. The activity of the Japanese in naval affzirs does not in the opinion of Mr. Cramp imply any direct menace to the United States. It is probeble her Government designs primarily to put itself in a position to hold the seas in opposition to Russia when that nation completes the Siberian railroad and becomes a great power on the Pacific Ocean. It is none the less im. portant for us to be watchiul of the incresse of naval strength of a foreign power on these western seas where we have such great interests at stake. 3 The days when the Urited States was safe in ber isolation from the great powers of other continents have passed. Steam and lmprc_vafl machinery have brought us into close relstions with the rest of the world. We carry on an extensive commerce with all parts of the globe and sooner or later will bave a merchant marine sufficient to carry American goods under the American flag =0 that we shall not have to pay tribute to for- eign nations for transportation. The present administration is pledged to promote American shipping by reviving the original American poiicy of discrimi- nating duties on goods imported in foreign sbips. With the ine crease of cur commerce and our shipping we shall need an in- crease of naval force 1o protect them. Mr. Cramp is right. “Our country can by no means safely ignore or be inattentive to the progress of our oriental neighbor toward the rank ofa first-class sea power on the Pacific Ocean.’” JOHN ANDERSON, MY JO.
