Lay Derexases' Conference.
The conference of lay delegates was held
today in the Presbyterian church. Dele
gates selected from the general conference
are Hon. ID. T. Denny, of Seattle, and DIR.
r. 8. Williams, of Puyallup.
A little breeze was raised today over
resolution to cepsure the Olympia Col
Iegiate Institute for confering honorary
degrees. The matter was brought up
probably through personal feeling held by
one preacher against another. Last June
Rev. s. A. Bright, of Seattle, delivered
the baccaIaurete sermon at the institute,
and shortly after the officials conferred
on him the honorary degree Of doctor OF
divinity. As this was the only degree
that body had conferred that could affect
the ministry, it was seen by DIR. Bright, as
well as friends of the institute, that the
educational committee, where the resolu-
ton was introduced, simply intended to
hit him through slap at the college. DR..
Ford, of Olympia, marched into the COM
mittee room and soon convinced the
gentlemen that it wasn't safe to pass any
such resolution. He and others were pre-
pared to make such fight on the floor OF
the conference that there was no doubt
about the committee being left Gin a
hole, and they wisely dropped the matter.
DR.. Bright is one ofthe most popular min

PoAcHING ON SEAL GROUNDS.
Commissioner Merriman Thinks United
states will Preserve Her Rights.

PORTLAND, Aug 31.-[special. IA gentle
man in this city who has recently had a
conversation with DR.. C. Hart Merriman,
of the Boring sea arbitration commission,
today said that Dr. Merriman told him
that from his personal knowledge he knew
the natives of the seal islands were very
solicitious about the condition of the
seals. Their great fear is for their food
supply.
The exact number of poaching vessels at
present on the coast is not known. but
there are more than sixty of them. These
poachers come right up on the end of
islands, and as the atmosphere is generally
foggy they can do this with impunity.
They come very close to the rookeries and
the native is not always stationed at such
points to look out for them. These poach-
ers are held in very bad repute amongst
the natives. DR.. Merriman believes that
the seal fishery trouble viii be amicably
settled and that the United States govern
ment will preserve her rights.

matter of fact. the story Is being circulated
by Russia for political purposes, IN oraer
TO force China into an agreement WHEREBY
the railway now being butt near the
Chinese border may be allowed 70 go on

the statement that Russia wants Korea a.
depot for naval operations IS entirely
without foundation. II Is thought, now

powers to obtain an advantage which
couId not be had at any other time.
