the Mulligan letters, Mr.. Carpenter told
him that they had both said to Mr.. Blaine
that there was nothing in the letters the
world might not know, and that
he was going to read them
in the House of Representatives

with him the day Blaine read the Multi
gan letters, declare that Judge Black on
being told of it declared it to be impossi-

were some he could never afford to read.

England not yet Invited to Participate
in the Proposed Conference.
LONDON, Oct. n.-NO communication
has yet reached the British Foreign Office
inviting England to send a representative
to Berlin to participate in the proceedings
of the conference of the powers to secure
freedom of commerce in the Congo coun-
try. A portion OF the press of France are
publishing articles opposing the PROPOSE
tiOn that the French Government should
send a representative to the conference.
La SOLieL says upon this subject that the
success of the conference will result only
in profit to Germany, and if the confer
ence should fail Germany would still man
age to engage France in policy hostile
to England. La Repub6que FrdncdiSe
says that the conference will doubtless be
limited to examining questions of inter-
national commerce and jurisprudence
arising from the occupation by the various
powers of the regions on the Congo.

dreams of a war of the united fleets of
Europe against the British armament,
but 1t adds that it is necessary that Eng
land renounce the illusion that she holds
s'the Empire of the Seas" and that she
only needs to put her signature to sheet
of paper in order that all the coasts and
islands of the earth shall belong to her.
