tative Of the foreign office will formally
exchange ratlhcations in London to-day or
tomorrow OF the Bering sea sealing
claims arbitration treaty. which was
amended by the Senate on April 18th in
minor particulars Promptly following
this formality Il Is expected that the Pres

Of the treaty the two arbitra tors will
meet as soon as the cases are ready for
consideration al Victoria, b. c., and de-
termine the damages, If any, accrung to
Canadian and other sealing vessels In

tion two arbitrators viii take testimony
at San Francisco, if the cases cannot all
be completed at Victoria, and they will
then report their findings to their re-
spectiVe governments. Where their rec
concentrations agree the claims will be
promptly paid, but II any disagreements
occur, which cannot be settled by diplo-
macy, such cases will be delivered to the
president of the Swiss republic, who has
consented to decide the Disputes The
date upon which the arbitrators will meet
at Victoria depends upon the readiness

ing cruises. In any event 1t is believed
the labors Of the arbitrators can be COM
pleted this year.

General Council.

Chicago, May 1l-At St. Louis yesterday
an important meeting Of railway employees
was held at the headquarters OF the order
OF Railway Conductors. There were rep

ders Of locomotive fremen. railway train
men, engineers. conductors. switchmen
and telegraphers. About COO persons We're
present.
The chief result of the convention was
the adoption of a resolution 20 form a
federation OF the six orders named. Such
a consolidation has been attempted sew
eral times heretofore, but never success
fully. The present movement has no op-
position whatever. The only difference of
opinion was on the question OF admit
ting the American Railway Union. As
first submitted the proposition included
Eugene V. Debs' order but an amend
ment to strike 1t out was carried with
only two or three dissenting votes. Ine
officers of the grand lodges OF the SIX
orders represented at the meeting We're
authorized and instructed to formulate a
plan for uniting the six under a general
council, similar to the governing body OF
the federation of labor.

Debs stated that the formation OF the
federation referred to is no new thing,
the orders named already having had an
agreement TO unite, and the organization
of which he is head, the American Rail-
way Union, has made no effort TO join
the federation, and, in fact Il could not
do So as its membership already COM
prises men in all departments OF railway
work. There Is no necessity, therefore,
for forming any other union for the Amer
ican Railway Union to join with the other
organizations to protect the interests Of
its members

ing that the Seaboard Air Line has enter
ed into such an agreement, is denied by
Vice President st. John.

as the press of many of the southern
states, are asserting that a southern
freight pool has been formed, and that
the southern railroads, including the Sea-
board Air Line, are members of IT.
would you have any objection to say
