A largo document from the State Department
was dolivcroi to Mr.. Foster Mt Quarantine, after
reading which Mr.. Foster announced his inton-
tion Of going to Washington on tho midnight
train last night. Mr.. Foster. as has becn said,
refused to do much talking.
"Thoro is n great deal to be said, I admit"
said Mr.. Foster, but l cannot soy 1t hero. I
have learned that Secretary Sherman has left
Amagansett, and so I shall take tho midnight
train for Washington md make my report to
him tomorrow. Mr.. Hamlin and I will talk the
whole matter over at tho Waldorf this evening
and ho will me to Washington to-
night. Whatever is to be given out will BIO given
to tho newspapers In that city,"
Mr.. Foster, is It true that you were con-
cerned In tho premature publication of Secre-
tary Sherman's letter In the Tribune r

Of official correspondence In the Tribune was
not authorized by mo. i do not know Who could
have given Mr.. Reid the authority to make pub
lie that letter. 1t did not help tho solution of
the question as may DO imagined. but, ncvcrthc-
less, I think that at the conference in Washing

OF tho problem will be found"
Then there will be a conference at Washing

Nothing whatever" replied Mr.. Foster.
Tho matter 10 not new, and the State Depart
mont understands 1t thoroughly. I prefer not to
discuss It,"
"Wha do you think as to the likelihood Of
Japan forcibly resisting the annexation of
Hawaiif"
II do not think said Mr.. Foster. that there
10 any possible danger OF such AN event taking
place. Japan has 24.O0o subjects. on the
islands, and che regards with interest all things
that may occur to affect their welfare In ono
way or another. That is only natural. and Is
what any nation would do in a similar situation,
trouble. such talk is nonsense"
DO you believe that the Behring Sea question
will DO settled amicably r.
"Ihavc never thought for q minute that. 1t
would not he" replied Mr.. Foster. and l think
the same now as l always have"
