Practical Renewal Of the HOdus
ViVendi Of Last Year.
THE PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF CONTENTION.
Satisfactory Results Of President HarriSOn's FirmReSs
Ill the Demands Of the United States
Conceded
Epscisl 70 THE MORNING CAb1.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-It is said on
good authority that the President and his
Cabinet are well pleased with the concilia-
tory tone of Lord SaliSbury's note of the
26th Inst, and especially as it is held to
concede The point that has been the prin-
cipal cause of. contention, viz: a renewal
of the modus vivendi of last year for the
protection of the seal fisheries. This alleged
concession is believed TO be implied in his
proposition to agree to modus, in case the
treaty of arbitration is ratified, under the
condition that each Government shall guar
antee damages incurred through the suSpen-
sion of sealing operations. Ole official, who
has been consulted by the President in
regard TO the negotiations. said he was
pleased with Lord Salsbury's admission
that Great Britain would hold itself
liable for damage resulting TO the United
States in the event that the verdict of the
arbiters Is adverse to England. 1t is
said that. taken altogether, Lord Sails
bury's note is satisfactory, as indicating a
good prospect for amicable settlement of the
questions st issue. Further correspondence
Will be necessary.
EHon. John Foster and Senator Sherman
called at the White House this morning at
an unusually early hour They remained
In conference with the President half an
hour, and when they left their faces ex-
pressed inward satisfaction with the con-
dition Of the things which occupied their
minds.
The reply of Salisbury, it IS said in high
official circles, while not eOnceding in ex-
press terms what the United States con-
tended in the recent correspondence, is so
cOnclllatory in tone and manner as to give
IN opening for an amicabe settlement of
the present controversy. In the previous
correspondence Salisbury declined to admit
the subject OF damages to the terms of the
treaty al all. Now he proposes to refer the
question Of damages To the arbitrators.

Comments on the Progress of the Bering
Sea Negotiations.
LONDON, March 2S.-The Star. comment
ing on the Bering Sea correspondence, says:
The dispatches do not give Lord Salisbury
The better of the dispute. If he has not
been inconsistent, Mr.. Blaine has. The
Americans have behaved As If they
genuinely desired TO protect the seals; Lord
Salisbury as though he was afraid Of offend
ing the Canadians, whose only desire is to
catch seals.
The Times says: Lord Salisbury proposed
several methods to make the award of the
arbiters retroactive. all Of which have been
rejected with Scant courtesy and often scant
logic by the American negotiators. If
neither of the equitable modes which Lord
Salisbury has now offered is accepted, it
Will be difficult to resist the inference that
America has remarkably little confidence in
her case. 1t is difficult to be very sanguine
ID regard to disputant who has failed to
take from the impeTtuTbable courtesy with
which Lord Salisbury sets aside and ignores
the numerous irreleYaneies of Am erican
diplomacy.
The Standard says: Lord Salisbury's dis
patch seems to reach the utmost bounds of
Cancellation. 1t is plain, busness-like and
fair offer which America must accept or re-
fuse.
The News approves of Lord Salisbury's
proposals, but says Americans Justly re-
garded with disfay0r the proposals that the
fishery be opened to vessels guaranteeing
damages.
The Chronicle regrets that the CORE
spondence will not tend to populariZe arbi-
trati0n. 1t says: Mr.. Blaine very cleyerly
by sort Of attorneys trick, put Lord Sal
isbnry in a somewhat absurd position by
consenting TO arbitrate as TO whether We
ever had or have any hight to catch seals on
their way 10 American breeding waters.
We admit that our right is doubtful The
world would vote US fools to 60 10 war OH
account Of $4,000 seals. 1t matters nothing
for President Harrison to assume the atti-
tude of spread-eagieist. II is not only
marked By rank injustice, but it Is perfectly
grOIesQue in its absurdity. 1t is clear that
Blaine detected from the first the supreme
advantage on his side. His Government is
on the eve OF an election and can afford to
be ridiculous. We cannot.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Mrs. Homer G.
Baldwin who was injured so terribly in the
New York Central collision at Hastings on
Christmas eve has sued the railroad CON-
pany for $4,000 damages. In order to
sign her mark 10 the complaint Mrs. Bald

Mrs Baldwin submitted to several painful
operations at the Getty House Yonkers
The first operation. that Of removing both
eyes, was performed by DR.. Gallon, assisted
by DR.. Sehopen 1t lasted twenty-five
minutes. Then DIR. SchopeH amputated
four dead bones that protruded from her
right hand and patched up the mutilated
thumb. He then cut away a dead bone in
the left arm and removed the mortifylng
flesh around 1t. The operation on the hands
lasted just eight minutes. OF ten pieces of
skin previously grated on Mrs. Baldwin's
forehead, five have retained their vitality

THE CARA REVOLT

said to Have Been Manipul ated Entirely
by Spectators.
Major James ID. Warner, one of the
largest landowners and coffee planters In
Mexico. according to a special in the New
York Times, claims to be in possession OF
facts as TO the true inwardness of the al
legged Cara revolution. He says: 1T is a
solemn fact that band of spectators con-
nected with the coffee industry of Central
America, operating by their agents through
San Francisco, and in connection with lead
ing flnanc ial houses in New York, London
and Berlin (the latter o I which did not OBJ
tain the last issue Of Mexican bonds) were
the wirepulers in that puppet show known
as the Cara revolution"
what do you understand these specula-
tors expected to gain by the maneuver ?''
In the first place the financial houses
mentioned naturally wanted to even up
with the house OF Bleichroder of Berlin,
which had been so successful i'm handling
Mexican bonds and sustaining the credit of
the republic. 1t Ia well known that the
bonds issued by the Government Of Mexico
to pay the subventiobs granted to the rail-
way companies were fiercely competed for
by the leading Jewish houses of New York,
London and Berlin. The house of Beich-
roder OF Berlin succeeded in obtaining the
last issue OF $36,OO0.000 at about ssh per
cent. q.
Inese bonds were placed in Germany,
and among the connections OF the house, at
"a. The attempt to depreciate the value of
this issue was initiated in London, in the
early part Of the present year. The troub-
lous times in Central America were used as
favorable opportunity for the involving
OF Mexico in the general discredt from
which the South American republics were
suffering. At the same time no intelligent
and honest observer of the affairs of Mexico
will. think, deny that at no time in the
history OF the country has its financial, in
dustrial and political condition been more
satisfactory or more inviting for the invest
ment Of capital.
The Cara business was simply local
affair, gotten up among smugglers and bor-
dermen. Cara, 1t is known. had no con-
nection with or backing from any intiuen-
tial men or parties here In Mexico. The
Diaz Government regarded him In the light
OF simple adventurer, insignificant and
lacking in all the elements which could
have rendered him really dangerous to the
country. This opinion has now been
proved to be the correct one. The daring
speculators In Mexican securities have
made about per cent out of the de-
preston Of some 100000 600 of Mexican
bonds.
vt is satisfactory to know. however. that

ms accomplces have been arrested, but the
police are unable to capture him. Notwlth-

because since yesterday change of pro-
gramme has become necessary. and thereby
hangs a tale, which gentleman prom
inently connected with the South San
Francisco Land and Improvement Com
pauy unfolded To CALL reporter last
night
1t appears from his story that the cou-
pany had made arrangements with Henry
c. Whiting. the general manager Of the San
francisco and North Pacific Railway for
two excursions to Baden's stockyaTds on
April and April 3. The steamer James
NJ. Donahue was engaged and all the pre-
llmInarles had been arranged, when yester-
day L. w. Smith, the manager Of the South
San Francisco Land Company, received
letter from Mr.. Whiting, in which the lat
ter stated that, owing TO request he had
received from the traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, J. c. Stubbs, he
could not permit the use of the steamer
James NJ. Donahue for the purposes men
toned.
Mr.. Smith, after a hurried consultation
with some OF the people interested in the
proposed excursion, called on Manager
Stubbs, but the only satisfaction he re-
ceived was that the railroad company
offered to run train to Baden, TO take tue
place OF the proposed steamer, on April 3.
The only reason assigned for the Southern
Pacific Company's Interference is that the
magnates at Fourth and Townsend streets
desire TO control all excursion travel on the
bay, and will not permit any steamers con-
trolled by other companies 10 carry pas
Sengers 10 Baden or TO any other place ac-
cessble by their lines.
Mr.. Smith was compelled TO accept the
terms offered. and there Will be only one
excursion instead of the two advertised, and
that one will be by rail and not by steamer
as proposed.
Mr.. Stubbs, however, has promised to
place one of the Southern Pacific Com
pany's steamers at the disposal of the Baden
people for another excursion to be arranged
for Saturday, April Z.

LONDON, March 2S.-In the Commons to-
night, Curzon, the Parliamentary Secretary
Tor India, moved the second reading of the
Dill Tor widening the basis Of legislative
councils in India. Gladstone said that he
construed the bill as meaning that the
Government intended seriously to con-
slider what elements India could furnish
with view to introducing elective principles
into the councils. 1t was not desirable that
Parliament should make that effort, and
the best course would be TO commend a
plan to the authorities in India, with a clear
direction OF the principles on which the
House desired the Government of India to
proceed. LII there was a real success OBJ
tained In even a limited application of the
elective principle it would be an achieve
ment with which it would be difficult to
ind parallel in the records of history.
The bill passed to a second reading
