CONGRESS TAKES ACTION.


Creary Says.
New YORK, July 9.--The World has
the following from Washington in re-
gard to the Behring sea complications
"The British minister was seen yester-
day. He repeated the diplomatic denial
which he made Monday night. but said
that he preferred to add nothing to it
which might lead to friction or be mis-
construed. He added, however:
There is no doubt that our vessels in
the north Pacific are there to protect the
British flag and our sealers.'
Highly important action was taken at
the capitol yesterday with regard to the
Behrlng sea controversy. Chairman Hit
called the foreign affairs committee to-
gether and agreed to report to the house
at once a aresolution calling upon the
president TO send to the house all the
correspondence en- the subject of the
Behring sol question that might proper
ly be made public"
Mr.. Hit hurried into the house as the
hands Of the clock pointed to o'clock,
and in the turmoil that preceded the adj
1ournmenti he was unable to present his
resolution. With regard to the probable
action of the house, Mr.. Hit last night
said: VI have no doubt the resolution
will be adopted early in tomorrow's ses.

last evening:

Atlantic, the first Of their class to make
the trip. What do all these preparations
mean? Congress should not proceed in
the dark on such an important subject.
We should know just what has been done
and what 1t is expected may be done. In

information obtainable on this matter, and
