ANOTHER SENSATION.
Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian
 PdunCelOtc in Conference.
SEA AGAIN
Joint Commission Of the Worlds Maritime Powers to Decide on the Validity ofthe Unite d States Cinins

WASHINGTON, Juno 9. - Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian Pnuuc";utc, tho British minister, held a conference Nes- terday at the state department. Both were reticent as to tho object of it, but it Is understood that the .Behring sea con- troversy was discussed in detail. It is not known that the queens representa- tive has received any off cial Instructions as to what policy he shall pursue.
 The contents of an Ottawa dispatch are said to have been reviewed at the meeting of the two dignltaries. The prin- cipal points of this were that imperative orders have been received from England, and that no steps be taken for the pres ent to protect Canadian vessels in Behr- ing sea.
 Tho British government suggested joint commission of all the maritime powers of tho world to decide on tho validity of tho claim of the United States to exclusive jurisdiction of these waters. There will be no interference on the part of tho British or Dominion cruisers with the United States vessels carrying out their instructions in excluding British scalers from Behring sea.
 It Is stated on good authority that France and Germany support Great Brit ain in her contention that Behring sea is an open and not closed seo, as held by the United States government.
 That the state department proposes to brook no nonsense in this matter the att titude it assumed in the Samoan dispute furnishes abundant evidence. That the policy assumed by MT. Blaine at the out set will be maintained, conference or no conference, few here doubt.
 The president intends that the pirates shall be driven out, no matter whether it pleascs the Canadians and the British government or not
 EN-Treasury Agent Thomas F. Ryan has had several interviews with the president and Secretary Blaine and Sec retary Windom. He has also written letters to the department touching the abuses from which Americans have suffered
