London, October 7.-Vanity Fair today
says: The queen empress was very much
grieyed at the attitude OF the United States
eighteen months ago, and it is IN open Sc

close study Of the American people. holds
almost pessimistic views In regard to the
stability and future OF the republic.
The queens long conversation with Sir

The SEALING CONFERENCE.
Great Britain Mill Not Act With
Russia and Japan:
TWO CONFERENCES WILL BE- HELD.
One Hundred Thousand Pounds In
American Eagles Withdrawn for
shipment ia the United States.

New York, October IA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says The
administration proposes to mako clear to
Great Britain the embarrassments she
has caused this government by her re-
fusal to participate with Russia and .apan
In the proposed sealing conference.
A note Is now In course OF preparation
at the state department which will depre-
cate the withdrawal OF the British gov
eminent at such late hour ind call at
tention to the fact that the communica-
ton OF May 10, which Secretary sherman
addressed TO Lord Salisbury, announced
that Russia and Japan would be invited
to take part In the conference. The Brit
ish government had, therefore. no Iea-
sona5e ground at this time for refusing
10 participate, when che had already
agreed 10 take part. knowing that Russia
end Japan would be present in the con-
ference.
It is also understood that the adminlstra-
ton will yield to tho inevitable and ask
Great Britain to send representatives to
meet those of the United States. There Is
no intention to abandon the proposed con-
ference with the representatives, OF Russia
and Japan. These representatives VIII
reach the United States in few days.
Tho latter conference, II is thought, VIII
be adjourned until after the representatives
of the United States and Great Britain
have had a meeting and reached con
clusion and the delegates Of Russia and
Japan will then be asked to raiify the
action Of the Anglo-Amerlcan conference.
The determination to send the mole
above referred to followed the receipt OF
and official announcement from Ambas-
sador Hay to the effect that Great Britain
had refused to take part In the conference
in view OF the representation therein
which Russia and Japan would have.
The reason for Great Britains with
drawal is traced to Canada's interest in
the sealing industry and the fear OF the
authorities that the United States. Rus
sia and japan, being in the majority
would outvote her representatives on all
important matters which may be consid-

New York, October 7.--Emmitt G. Glib
son, also known as George A. Sherin who
was arr ed today and is now a prisoner
at police headquarters, is the most accom-
plished bogus check and hotel swiI dler In
the country. Gibson, according TO the po-
lice, has succeeded by. means OF forgery
bogus checks and dealings in stocks and
bonds and playing his wits on first class
hotel keepers drring the last four years,
In getting and spending In The neighbour

cording to Police Captain McCluskey, are
Henry Clews and John Wanamakor The
police heve been getting complaints from
different frst-cias hotels in this city for
many days back. Bogus cheeks were laid
down by Gibson in payment OF board bills,
The checks were honored In almost every
case. Complaints reached headquarters
from the police of cities 10th in the East
and West, and the police recognized Glib
sons handiwork. He was however, caught
in the Grand hotel. A detective saw tall,
sharp featured man, high forehead and
blonde whlskers. He was we'll dressed and
very cool when the officers invited him to
take a stroll to police headquarters. Pro-
testing with the police had no effect. At
headquarters he described himself az EN-
NIT c. Gibson, unmarried, 10 years old. of
the Baltholdi hotel and native OF this
country. He said he was vice president Of
the street railway company Of Akron, Ohio.
