state Department waits.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15, 1S97.-The State
Department has not yet been advised of
the acceptance by the British government
OF the alternative proposition submitted
nv it after the rejection of the invitation
to come into the international conference,
to have a meeting of British, Canadian
and United States experts on the seal
question. 1t is hoped that the news Is
true but it is believed that Ambassador
Hay will advise the Department as soon
as an agreement has actually been
reached. An intimation that the invita-
ton is to be accepted might not be re-
garded by him as sufficient in the pres
ent aspect of the case.
The discovery made by Editor Stead of
the intention of the United States in the
event of failure to reach an agreement
for the further protection of the seals,
to destroy all of them on the Prrbylofr
Islands, is supposed at the State Depart
ment to have been based on the debates
in Congress last year and on the fact that
Representative Dingley submitted bill
to that end.
Great Britain when the Bering Sea ques-
ton was under consideration, and later
ne of the United States representatives
at the Bering Sea court of arbitration at
Paris was asked today for his opinion
on present phases of the Bering Sea case,
as developed by the coming conference
between the United States, Russia and
Japan.
Mr.. Phelps said that he did not feel at
liberty to speak of the subject in detail.
''But 1 will say" he added, that Russia
has done, according to published reports.
what in my opinion we ought to have
done in 1888, and what advised our Gov
ernment to do.
The action of Russia referred to by Mr..
Phelps is that of establishing rigid sys-
TEN of protection of the Russian seal is
lands, with a 30-mile zone, within which
only inhabitants of the Russian seal is
lands are permitted TO kill seals.
