Bering sea affairs. The Canad ian policy

Mr.. Morgan was asked what influence
the accession of Lord Salisbury would
have on the calling of an international
monetary conference, as provided for by
the last American congress. 1t was sug-
gested to the senator that England had
thus far stood in the way of the confer
ence. but that Mr.. Goschen, the former
minister of the exchequer in the Sails
bury ministry. as well as Mr.. Balfour and
Lord Salisbury himself. have shown a de-
cided inclination toward bimetallism, and
had given encouragement that an inter-
national conference would be approved.
''No, England will grant us no conces

The same spirit of accession was notice

an effort was made to secure a cable
landing on Neckar island. The general
policy of Salisbury is not of that nature.
1t tends more to the development of what
Great Britain already possesses and to
