Senators by his manipula-
tion OF the Behring Sea MAD
ter III such a way as to ere
ate q war scare, whatever ef-
feet il may have had in other
quarters. Senator Sherman,
who is chairman OF the Sen
ate committee o n Foreign
Affairs, expressed his opinion
in very few words by saying:
"A war, or even Il contention
ON between the United States
and Great Britain fora cause
so trivial as one years fish
ing for seals, would be Il
crime against civilization"
A prominent republican, who
is Il Varni personal friend Ol
Secretary Blaine, said today
that this whole affair had
been directed by Mr.. Harm
son without the knowledge
OF Mr.. Blaine, who was for
nearly a week too sick to at
tend to any business, ,and
that when Mr.. Blaine learned
what had been done his first
was TO take advantage ofhi>
Illness, make that an excuse
and tender his resignation tc
take effect at once. He was
rersuadedto change his mind
hut If is not at all certain
that he will consent to remain
in the cabinet. He is goina
South as soon as he can tray
el, and the date for hisretur
is very uncertain. Naval Of
ficials are dropping myste"i

naval force strong enough tc
fight to stop the poaching il

believes that there will be any
fighting, or any occasion fol

morning. The meeting called 10 order by T. w.
Macunc, OF Washington.
The presidents and executive boards have been In
conference all day and again TO night but beyond the
fact that all the Southern states and oklahoma are
represented, littlo or nothing Is known Of their pro-
cccdngs. Members Of the conference smile and talk
pleasantly but tell nothing beyond their intention TINT
nothing shall be known. II is given out that Colonel
Polk presided and W. +. Gwyn, Of Tennessee, was
secretary. Colonel Polk made speech In opening
the proceedings and then general reports nom all the
States made. II Is gathered that practically
everybody In attendance j. for Peoples party In
National elections. though there l. opposition t. max
Ing the issue local. ard It + probable that this policy

last night who were oppolng any support Of the
Peoples party In any form, but II Is openly announced
to day that these have been Brought around and that
the body Is practically unanimous now on the prop.

Tammany Hall concerning the trlal of excise cases
lie. however, virtually denied II by declaring that he
had not talked with superintendent Byrncs or anv one
else about violations OF the excise lnw Color was
given to the story that he would side with tn, Supcn
tendant against Commissioner Martin on the subject
BY the fact that he has arranged for extraordinary
session Of the Court Of Oyer and Terminer. Thi, will
give an additional Grand Jury, which will begin to
sit the latter part Of this month. Mr. Nicol in OK
planning why he took this step, said
Il am simply carry ing out what have been aiming
at ever since took oicethe Kidding Of the pigeon
holes OF the accumulation of old cases. There are
$500 excise complaints file which the Grand jury
mas not had chance to pass on am anxious to get
rh OF as many Of these as possible"
This action need not be taken as any indication of
particular hostility to the liquor dealers the part of
Mr.. Nicoll. The Grand Jury In oyer and Ternncr
will no doubt find many indictments against volators
OF the excise laws, but ii will also dismiss many Of the
complaints. Indictng offender and trying him
are different things, although the first Is necessary
preliminary to the second. The Court of Oyer and
Terminer will probably not be open for the trial OF
cases until fall except in the week BEGINNING May TO-
Therefore only the three part of the Court of General
SESSIONS will be IN session after May % and little more
than the current business can be disposed Of So
there seems great danger that hquU sellers will be
TILED and punished for a while at least. An effort il
being made to rid OF many cases possible of
