Washington are not made out Of tho
whole cloth, the closedEseason plan has
been most artfully lodged for the
present in the interest of the North
American Company. In the absence of
definite conclusions in tho matter no
further time can be lost in dilly-dally-

ohinery OF the British cabinet, and until

proposition the United States. to all
intcnts, abandons the closed sea policy,
and calls upon tho British government
to join this country in protecting q great
industry from extinction. Evidently
Lord Salisbury and his advisers would
like to follow this line, but the growls
of the Canadian bear scare the English
statesman into Withholding his answer,
pitifully as his position is and much as
he might wish to comply. The RESPONSE
bility for unregulatcd scaling now rests
on England, and this government can
afford to take firm stand i'll submit

THE sEALERY DISPUTE.

Beyond the peradvonture of a doubt
the policy of the United States towards
the Boring Sea seal fisheries will not
vary strongly from the position taken
last season. at least that is the direc-
tion in which the diplomatic wind ap-
pears to be blowing, with no signs of
yeering. il the reported orders TO the
Bear and Rush can be taken as cr.ter-
ion. In other words, the United States
Government will attempt to limit opera
lions to the company having such
right. Lord Salisbury's reported com.
munication on the proposition for a
closed season in sealing puts a new
front on the status Of affairs, where the
State Department is concerned
Nevertheless, If the statements from

FAIR PREPARATIONS.

Ex-Mayor Cregier, of Chicago, is
authority for the statement that the
Columbian Exposition of 1898 can not
be in readiness for opening when the
fixed time arrives. And, as Mr. Cregier
has SO lately retired from an Office. by
virtue of which he held the position OF
chairman of the important committee
on grounds and buildings, his opinion
gives grounds for serious reflections if
founded on anything like substantial
basis. Over year has passed since it
was decided that the Fair should be
held in Chicago, and undoubtedly much
valuable time was frittcred away with
petty pickering over the selection Of a
site and what men should compose the
various committees and boards, with
their func tions and powers.
Lately there has been better out
look for some rapid developments in the
work of preparation, with every reason
to believe no further horse-play would
be forthcoming. Outwardly, at least,
the signs of activity are strong enough,
and contrary to Mr.. Crcgicrs prophesy,
but somehow there is too much of dis
position noticeable in tabooing foreign
exhibits. This is particularly the case
with England's part in the show, and
Great Britain's commission is resting
on its oars without doing mite towards
the proposed end. This fact is perhaps
due in a smaller degree to British indif-
ference than American cordiality, and
with all possible alacrity and secure the
best that other powers can give us.
There certainly can be no valid gtound
for not having the exposition ready for
the opening in 1893, when the financial
backing is considered. The SIS, 600 600
guarantee fund is being paid as rapidly
as is demanded; Chicago is authorized
to bond the city for n like amount and
the State o; Illinois contributes 81 ,OOO,-
600 more. In addition to this the other
State appropriations are already in the
neighborhood of 1000 900 and tho
National Governments mite comes in
the shape Of 81, 100000. 1t would not be
large estimate to place gate receipts
at 100000 when the Paris Exposition
figures are considered, and with the sale
of other privileges will give the fair Il
fund of fully s2O,OO0,OOO.
With all these sums to draw from our
Chicago brethren have no excuse but to
file ahead and Show their pushing
qualities.

HOW ABOUT THIS:

Will the Readers of Certain Morning
Paper Decide the Police Badge Contest:
Two months ago q morning newspaper
of Roanoke offered Il gold badge to the
most popular policeman on the force of
this city. TO ascertain how this result
would be arrived at the paper printed L
blank ballot each morning. Instruc-
tions were given how to fill out the bal
lot, and the announcement stated that
the readers of the paper were to send in
the ballots with the name of their
favorite officer written thereon.
Four officers would not go into the
contest. They were Officers Schanck,
Wolfe, Austin and Weldon. There were
varying changes in the vote till n few
weeks ago, when three officers dashed
suddenly ahead.
The last straw broke the camel's back.
Early yesterday morning, ere the shad
ows were lifted from Campbell street,
two employees Of the morning journal
wendell their way to police Headquarters
bearing heavy bundles. 1t proved to be
the supposed inside pages OF the morn
| ing pa ger which offered the badge to
the most popular policeman
The burdens which the two men car
ried were deposited safely in private
| room. The door was locked and no one
was allowed to enter
at l o'clock yesterday Mr.. Millner,
who has been keeper of the sta
ton for quite while, began the
laborious duty of cutting four little
slips of paper from each sheet. They
were tho policcman's badge ballot, on
which the readers Of the paper were to

Late last night TIMES reporter
called at police headquarters The
door was bolted on the imside-an un-
usual thing-bnt was opene1 up pretty
quick by Officer Martin, who keeps the
station at night.
The door Of the private room was left
open and the reporter walked in. A
heap OF mutilatcd papers covered the
floor, and Mr.. Millncr, assisted by Mr..
Johnson, another former keeper of the
station house, were busy cutting ont
the ballots.
There was not less than 900 of these
sheets. ~ reporter examined one of
them. There were TWO ballots on each
side, and the rest Of sheet was made up
with advertisements and plate matter.
This sheet differed from the usual in
side pages Of the paper. The regular
!hoiue SHcct usually contains the editor
ial and one blank ballot. Tho ballots
were being filled out, but when the re-
porter entered the writing ceased.
The reporter made no special effort to
find out who the votes were for. This,
of course, was n delicate matter, but
pretty soon Mr.. Johnson started out
with an bundle of ballots for the most
popular policeman.
Mr.. Millner charged him that the in
structions were that thoy should only
be given to the business manager. If he
was not there to bring them back.
So MIR. johnson carried tho ballots in,
and the most popular policeman will be
highly complimented by tho readers of
that paper this morning.

worthy of imitation by all young men
who cherish the honorable ambition of
distinguishing themselves and becom-

Mr.. Terrell enjoys the distinction OF
being one of the best educated men of
color in the country. On account of his
distinguished abilities, his knowledge
Of international law, and the huency
with which he speaks the French Ian

ton of minister and consul general to

be appointed but his supporters are
urging his appointment vigorously, and
the belief is current that he will be APP
appointed, in fact, his friends claim to
have received assurance from the depart
nent of state that Mr.. Terrell will in
all probability succeed Mr.. Douglass.
