SALISBURY'S DELAY
He Defers to Upper in the
Behring Sea Matter.
PUBLIC OPINION AGAINST HIM
No Serious Rupture With the United States
Thought Possible-Catholic Eman-
cipation Comes Up Again.

LoNDoN, nddIcu L. SOpyrlgnti 1927 Wy
the New York Associated Press. Lord |
Sails bury's delay in arranging for re-
newal of the modus vivendi in the Behring |
sea matter has been a matter for private
consideration by the leaders of the opposi-
ton, resulting in decision not to move in
the matter until the policy of the govern
ment appears more definite The foreign
office is unusually dilatory in the produc-
ton Of the papers in the case. Mr.. j. w.
Lowther, parliamentary secretary for for
eign affairs, denies the most recent details
of the negotiations have yet reached the
foreign Office, but as anxiety for an early
settlement becomes heightened by every
days cable dispatches postponement OF the
governments explanation will not be &C
corded beyond the end of next week.
The motive OF Salisbury's conduct, as is
well known in official circles, is found In
! the promptings of Sir Charles TupI or, who
has been advising the government to show
tight against a renewal OF the moous
vivendi on the ground it is not fair to
Canada, as it will lock up capital now in-
vested in sealers. Apart from the extreme
| Tory organs, the opinion of the country Is
dead against Salisbury for risklng quar-
rel with the United States for the sake OF
the small capital invested in fish boats. To-
the attitude of the Liberals in arguing that
the reasons that induced Sails bury TO agree
to the modus yivendi in 1891 apply with
equal force in favor of revival in 1892,
that of the English government is conf
dent of the strength OF its case. There is
all the greater cause to be content TO await
the decision OF the arbitration tribunal,
and to be ready meanwhile to meet the
Washington executive on a provisional
arrangement.
The difficulty causes no comment among
ministeraiists, who rely on Salisbury's
prudence, nor is serious rupture with the
United States thought possible on either
side of the house. Salisbury's final &C.
ceptance of the modus viYendi is held in
! evitable. What stlrs the opposition is the
