The Matter Laid Before The
House Of Commons.
SaliSbury'S Side Of the Question Received
With Signs Of Approval
In Assertion That There Is No Llkeli-
hood Of the determination Of the Fur
Seal Comments Of the Press.
Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, Aug. 15.-In the Commons to-
night Alexander Stayeley Hall questioned
the Government regarding the position of
the Behring Sea negotiations. He said
careful inquiry on the spot had satisfied
him that the methods by which British
vessels conducted their fishings led to no
undue waste Of seal life. 1t was not the
case that female seals we're recklessly
slain.
Ferguson, speaking for the Government.
said that no adequate jud gment could be
formed on the negotiations or on the
diplomatic correspondence on the subject
until the House possessed Sal isbury's final
reply, which could not be put upon the table
until it had been presented to the United
States Secretary of State. When the whole
correspondence was published he believed
the House would be satisfied with the spirit
and manner in which the negotiations had
been conducted on the side of the British
Government. The aim of Salisbury'S ac-
tiOn had been 10 establish close time for
seals by international arrangement and at
the same time prevent further seizing Of
British vessels and secure compensation for
the seizures already made. The Under
Foreign Secretary's statement was received
with marks of approval.
Commenting on the Behring Sea Blue
Book, the Times declares that it con firms
the conclusion that the conduct of the
American Government in rejecting Pau nee
fote's nlodus vivendi, in instruct
ing American cruisers to dismantle
British vessels and in breaking off
the negotiations eviuces arbitrariness and
contempt for a reason happily rare in inter
national relations nowadays. Salisbury's
frmness, says the Times, will show the
cOlonists that the home Government is not
as they sometimes affect to believe, mere
funnel for diplomatic notes.
The Standard says: " The thunder in
which Blaine has been dealing is of the
most transparent and artificial kind. From
first to last the taint Of domestic Am eTicau
politics infects tie negotiations. Even
If America possessed the exclusive
rights claimed, England would be justified
in resentlng most strongly the mode by
which the pretensiOn was made good" The
article concludes thus: The position as 1t
stands is not one that the friends of good
will between the nations can view without
miSgiving."
The Chronicle says: England and
America may have differences, but they
must remain friends" 1t hopes that
Blaine's rejection of Salisbury's proposals
will be only transient, as a protest against
the apparent breach of faith on Salisbury's
bart

vel0p quorum.

excitement by Offering as a substitute a res
olution citing an editorial appearing in the
New York Sun Of this morning upon the
declaration of Roger Q. Mills of Texas that
this (Washington) is no place for a man
when campaign Is on, etc.
Scarcely had the Clerk begun to read the
preamble when he was interrupted by pro-
tests from both sides Of the House.

suggestion that he withdraw it, but he fin
ally withdrew the preamble.

Plantations in Brazil to Be Bought Up and
Prices Regulated.

BALTIMORE. Aug 15.-The coffee mer-
chants of this city are very much interested
over the rumored formation of coffee
syndicate with capital of $4,000, 900.
Several cables were sent to Rio this morn
ing asking advice as to the syndicate. One
dealer here, who has relations with both
Rio and Santos, says the syndicate is for
the purpose OF doing away with the middle
man, who is an importer in the coffee trade.
The syndicate will buy up all the coffee it
can from planters. regulate the prices and
ship to an agency in the United States, in
stead of to the importer.

SAMOAN TROUBLES.
The Discomfort Among the Natives Said to Pc
Exaggerated.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-In view Of the
reports from Samoa that much discontent
prevails among the natives because Of the
long delay in providing them with the
new form of government decided upon
at the Berlin Conference, and that
other nations among the natives are taking
advantage OF this condition of affairs to
foment dscord, California Associated
Press correspondent inquired to-day at the
State Department concerning the accuracy
Of these rumors and as to the cause
of delay in organizing the new Gov
ernment. He was informed by Assistant
Secretary Adee that delay was due to the
absence of tine Chief Justice, who was Sc
lected by the King of Sweden, but who
could not well reach the islands before the
beginning of October. He was now on his way
there and upon his arrival the Government
would organize. Mr. Adee further stated
that in the meantime the Consuls of Great
Britain, Germany and the United States
were governing the islands with tact aud
discretion, and from advices received at
the State Department it was clear that the
alleged dissatisfaction among the natives
was exaggerated and had no strong Senti-
meDt back of il.
