GREAT BRITAIN'S BLUFF
IN THE BEHRTNG SEA CONTROVERSY
An Interview With Senator sherman ms to
the Bone of Contention-why We nrs
Right RS to the Modus yirendf.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March Especial. J.
The professional observer of international
politics reports that Lord Salisbury's back
bone is much weaker this morning. while that
OF President Harrison is sitter than ever
The prompt manner in which tho latter met
the formers bluff has had an effect. which is
believed to have taken large quantity of
starch out Of the tottering English Premier.
The cable from London is proof. il any proof
were necessary, Of the refusal of Salisbury to
renew the modus being due simply to a des
sire 10 inject little elixir Of youth into his
decrepid political fortunes When he made
refusal he believed that the United States
would step aside and allow the poachers TO do
their will, so long as they flew the grid
iron. The firm stand taken by the Pres
ident has shown him that this country is
IN no longer a trifing mood, and though in
the beginning OF a war our seapoTts might
suffer. it would not bs long before the tide
would turn to the crushing discontinue Of
Great Britain. Knowing this. Salisbury is.
IN diplomatic circles believed to be deyoting
bis talents to pulling himself out OF hole
into which be deliberately and blindly
Jumped.

Assistant Secretary Wharton says that
nothing has been heard from Salisbury.
From an unquotabe authority Of the depart.
ment however. it j. learned that while Sails
burY's reply to Whartons last note has not
been received, the department has information
that warrants tho belief that Salisbury will
either consent to a renewal of the modus or
concede Uncle Sans right 10 protect seals
pending arbitration 80 long as police regula-
tions shall be impartially exercised against all
countries.
This is corroboration of the dispatch
published when the treaty was sent TO the
Senate to the effect that n private tip had
been received by the Government that Sails
bury would come of his high horse.
This belief IS dscoyerable on all sides. In
consequence there is less war talk IN the
Senate or House to-day. As our grave aud
reverend seignor of the Senate put IT: Con
gress is holding its horses until Saiisbury's
reply is received. Should Salisbury be
tauntedinto stiiening his backbone into max
ing another bluf we will call it IN a way tuat
will remove any doubts that may exist to
our determination to protect our rights ut all
hazards.

SENATOR sHERMAN's VIEWS.

Committee on Foreign Relations. to-day
made for publication the following statement
respecting the Behring sea matter:

to our seal fisheries on the PribyloH Islands
until Lord Salisbury replies to the recent let
ter of M. Wharton. / regard the treaty now
pending-with the highest favor. 1t is honor

every controversy between two countries

ton between them for a cause 50 trivial as

against civilization. Ii is manifest that It IS
the interest ana desire OF each to preserve the
Alaskan seal fisheries from destruction by
Canadian poachers on the high sea The stu
Didity of a few vessel owners pending arbitra-
ton threatens t. disturb the peace and
amity of two great nations. Surely diplo-
macy ought to be able to provide some modus

UNPLEAsANT AND UNGKAcIOCs.

Ii may be unpleasant and ungracious for
Great Britain to resist by her ships and sail
Ors the reckless acts OF few of her subject
for whose conduct Lord Salisbury disclaIms
any responsibility. but we are under No such
restraint and are able TO prevent such poach-
ing on the rights purchased of Russia and
which Russia and the United States have
openly asserted and enjoyed for one hundred
years. 1t IS now claimed that by the law Of
nations our title is not good that seals born
and bred on our soil may be slaughtered on
the high sea whenI by the laws Of their
nature they are taking their annual
pilgrimage We arc willing for the
sake of peace to submit this ques-
ton 10 arbitration. We only ask that the
seals may not be destroyed by pelagic fishing
while the arbitratOrs are sitting. We would
gladly share with Great Britain the expense
and trouble of maintaining a status pending
the arbitration. and will faithfully and honor
ably abide by its results; but II Is ASKING too
much Tor us at the same time to allow their
responsible and unfriendy neighbOrs 20 de-
stroy the very subject matter Of the contro-
versy. especially when We have at our CON-
mand the means TO prevent It. 1 sincerely
lope and trust that the executive authorities
OF the two countries will find some way to
bridge this diplomatic difficulty.

THE VIRGINIA ALLIANCE.

The Convention At Ricbmond-Third Party
Men Assert Themselves.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star .
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 1.-THE Farmers ALI
ance'convention assembled this morning at Q
O'Clock for the second days session. All of the
counties in the state are represented by one
member each except six. The session this
morning was marked by spicy debate on the
adoption of state organ. The Virginia Sun, the
most prominent candidate, has recently given
vent to some pronounced third party views.
Speeches were made this morning in oppo-
sition to the paper on this ground. There
seems to be q majority, however, IN favor Of
adopting the paper, which will be the test OF
strength between the third psrtyites and alli-
ance democrats in the convention.
S. S. Thomas Of Clark, who was excluded yes
terday, was reinstated today, the committee de-
Gliding to accept his credentials. The commit
tee on the presidents annual address reported
this morning through Col. Randolph Harrison,
chairman. All of the views and suggestions in
the address were unanimously endorsed. The re-
port recommends that the actual expenses Of
members TO the conventions be paid.
The convention adjourned at 10 o'clock till
tomorrow without taking O vote on the adop-
ton Of state organ. The vote will probably
be taken tomorrow. The election of officers also
comes up tomorrow. 1t is generally conceded
that Maj. Mann Page will be reelected president
and j. Brad. Beverly, state lecturer, although
there is considerable opposition to the latter,
owing to his pronounced third party views.
Congressman Jno. Davis of Kansas is booked
for public address tonight.

A Philadelphia Did Some Shooting With
out First Taking q Careful Look.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.-At midnight last
night Joseph c. Bailey Of iii Rittenhouse
street, this city, shot Mary Carney, whom he
mistook for his wife, next shot Paul Ginther,
with whom he supposed he had caught his wife
in compromising position, and then,
turning the revolver upon himself, sent q
bullet into his own head. Bailey has
been insanely jealous Of his wife for
some time and he became so violent
in his conduct toward her that she recently
had him placed Under bonds to keep the
peace. Last night when Mrs. Bailey left her
home to visit relative she discovered that her
husband was following her. She eluded him
who boarded with her, sitting on the front door
step.
Miss Carney said she was afraid to stay In
the house for the reason that she heard
some one moving around in the base
meut. The women waited until Paul
Ginther, another boarder, came home,
and then the three started for the basement
the stair way first and As he reached the bot
tom Bailey sprang from a closet in which he
had been hiding and fred at Ginther,
the bullet striking him In the
leg. Miss Carney rushed down and
in the darkness Bailey mistook her for
his wife and shot her in the leg and
arm. A third shot missed her. Bailey
believing that he had killed his wife
and her supposed paramour, placed the
into his brain. He is still alive but the hospital
physician says his chances Of recovery are slight.
Miss Carney will recover and Ginthers wound
is only slight,

and Hears Reports.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW foRK, Aug. 1.-THE meeting OF the
democratic campaign committee today waa
more fully attended than any that have been
held heretofore. The presence Of Senators
German and Brice was . matter Of great salts
faction to Chairman Harrity and Others
who feel themselves new to the bust
ness and therefore welcome the arrival of
those experienced men. Mr.. Whitney was also
present and made detailed report as to his
progress in the matter of getting the two wings
OF the party TO FLAP together, az Mr. Randall
used TO put it. 1t Is understood that be looks
upon the situation as hopeful, but
definite report on the prospective attitude Of
Senator Hill Information from other sources,
however. leads to the belief that such arrange
ments will be made with reference to the dis
tribution of results; that the cooperation
of Senator Hill and his followers will
be bad. Smith Weed was among the
arrivals at the Fifth Avenue, but did not ap-
pear at headquarters, although they were but q
few steps away. The southern situation IVES
pretty carefully discussed at the meeting Of the
campaign committee today. Reports from
Senator Ransom S,,.. and h Others show S.
alliance and democrats in three or four south
ern states is such that the republicans will doubt
less take advantage of it and try to carry some
of these states. Chairman Carriers visit to
Washington yesterday had something to do
with this determination, it is thought.
At republican headquarters nothing is being
given to the press in the way Of information.
1t looks like a stiii-hunt fight there. Chairman
Carter is at his desk again and had a final con-
sultatiOn with Reid before his departure
for the west The republicans are very
anxious about the effect Of all the labor troubles
now pending. Between the strike on Chauncey
Depews road, the trouble with Boss Platt's con-
tract convicts in Tennessee, and the Carnegie
troubles at Pittsburg they feel that the outlook
is not very cheering as to the labor vote.

ARCHITECT CLARK'S REPORT.
Improvements Made and Suggested In tn
Capitol and Court House.


In his annual report to the Secretary Of the
Interior Mr.. Edward Clark, the architect of
the Capitol, gives an account Of the condition
Of the various public works in his charge. The
most important Of those il the Capitol building.
and the report speaks Of the changes made in
the rooms in the Senate wing, due mainly to
the moving Of the toilet rooms. The electric
lighting has been extended and the architect, in
view Of the fact that the government is pay
ing for these plants at the rate Of $500 per
month during the session Of Congress, recon-
mends their purchase by the government
when the Senate plan shall have been changed
from the alternating TO the direct system, a.
he's been recommended by the committee on
rules Of the Senate.
The report states that the stairways and mar
BILE balustrades connecting the terrace with the
central doors OF the building have been finished.
All the rooms, both for committees and storage,
are now occupied. No improvements Of conse-
quence have been made in the grounds.
In regard to the court house in this city,
which il under the direction of Architect Clark
he states that the ventilation Of the building
has been improved by the construction OF a
duct running from the air passage within the
building to brick tower erected in the grounds
about seventy feet from the west end Of the
structure. The air Is drawn down this tower
and through the duct by means of q fan pro-
PEELED by steam. This arrangement insures q
constant and sufficient supply Of air to the
court rooms and the office rooms in the new
part of the building. The circuit court room
has been changed by placing the bench at the
western instead of the eastern end The walls
and ceilings Of this room and that Of the
judges, adjoining, have been painted.
At the Botanic Garden plant house Of iron
17x72 feet has been built, the fireproofing Of
the western room Of the Smithsonian building
has been completed and the work Of erecting q
one-story building adjoining the building of the
Department of Justice for use as o file room Of
the Court of Chains has been begun.
