E~ngland's Attitude on the Seal Conference

England's Attitude on the Seal Conference
Washington, October THE state
department has received full informa-
ton as to the position Of the British
government on the proposed Behring
sea conference. This proves to be much
more complete han the brief cable re-
ports from London indicate. as the de-
partment has been advised, not only Of
Great Britain's declination to enter a
conference unless it is limited to the
experts of the United States. Great
Britain and Canada, but also has been
informed quite fully as to what led the
Marquis Of Salisbury to this conclu-
sion.
The British view as laid before the
state department is that at no stage
Of the negotiations has the British gov
ernmen agreed to a conference except
tain, Canada and the United States.
It is not questioned that Secretary
Sherman and Ambassador Hay made
suggestions that the conference should
be between 1.-The powers interested"
and that some of the notes from the
United States authorities expressed q
desire to have Russia n Japan take
part in the conference; but it is point
ed out that these suggestions came
from the United States and until ac-
cepted could have no effect in deter
mining the nature of the conference.
So far Is the suggestions were accept
ed, the note of Lord Salisbury, Of July
28th is said to stand alone and this
note, it is stated, mentioned only a on
ference between the experts Of the
United States, Great Britain and Can
ada.
The latest correspondence on the sub
ject leads to considerable doubt Is to
who will participate in the coming
meetings. 1t has been understood that
the differences would be bridged over
by holding two meetings, in n OF
which Russia n Japan would partici-
pate without Great Britain. while q
second meeting would be held between
the experts Of Great Britain and the
United States. It is understood that
Ambassador Hay was directed to effect
such an arrangement in case Great Bril-
+ain declined to enter the general con-
ference. But there is now some Ques-
ton whether the British authorities
will participate until a definite decf-
sion is reported as to who will take part
in the general conference, as there is
understood to be reluctance on the part
of the British to Join a dual confer
ence and some Duh whether the Brit
ish experts will leave for this country.
to attend either q general or limited
conference until an understanding is
reached on the entire subject. AS the
conference is SO near at hand-the first
plan having been to hold it October
23rd-the negotiations are necessarily
conducted by cable and by this means
a satisfactory adjustment may yet be
reached.

Worcester, Mass, October THE
Boston and Baltimore league teams
played here today. The game was not
exactly the sort to make the rooter
grow enthusiastic, for it was merely an
exhibition contest and in consequence
the men played rather listlessly. New

and the $500 spectators enjoyed the
exhibition. Both teams INDUCED in hard
hitting. Hickman. who pitched for Bos-

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, \. c., October 7.-Otho Will
son. populist leader, first state chair
man of that party and once q devoted
ally Of Senator Butler. is now at dag
gers points with the latter and also
with Governor Russell, for their at
tempt to suspend him as a commission
er. Today he issued the first copy Of
his paper, The Hayseeder, which is for
the one purpose Of making things un-
comfortable for the senator and the
governor. Thousands of copies are
being sent broadcast.
In his editorials Wilson says he de-
spiseS bOssism, whether Russellism or
Butlerism: that his paper, unlike Sen
ator Buffers, has no subsidy from the
state printing and public officers; that
he intends to hold his office by law and
does not use it for political purposes
at the dictation Of Russell or Butler.
He says he will shOW the latter's re
sponsibility for the conditions which
brought about the populist bolt which
resulted in Senator ~Pritchard's re-
election. He attacks Russell in the
plainest terms, saying he never ex-
pressed himself during the campaign
on the matter of the lease Of the North
Carolina railway, regulation of freight
and passenger fares n taxing cor
porations. Wilson says he urged him
to take a stand with the pOpulists on
these questions and that Russell de-
tina he would dodge these issues. Will
son then hints that certain railways
fighting the lease inspired Buffers at
tacks. Wilson reports a conversation
with Russell just after the latter had
made a deal with Senate Butler, in
which Wilson said he thought the re-
ductiOn of passenger and freight rates
should be equalized, and that Russell
replied: why in the hell do you want
to help the damned fools who wont
help you," and then said: "A reduction
of freight fares would not make a
show, while if the whole reduction
were made in passenger fares it would
be so large that the whole travelling
public would be whOoping for us pOlit-
ically." Wilson adds that what Rus
sell and Butler want is to conceal their
hands till they can work the damned
fools" long enough to give them con-
troll Of the next legislature.

Words From Stranger Smoothed

An elderly gentleman of fine pres
ence sat in the business office of one
of the largest grocery stores in an
eastern city engaged in social con-
verse with one of the proprietors. They
were old friends, and were renewing
the old friendship.
A salesman came into the office and
presented his business to the grocer.
handing him a card showing a table
set with viands, while the words
Postum Cereal. and two red disks ap-
peared underneath.
In a few words the salesman stated
that his firm was desirious of having
the grocer handle Postum in a large
way. The friend and visitor suddenly
spoke up and said, will, if you never
sold that, you have missed good
thing. We use it at home, and 1 have

like coffee has none of the harmful
effects of coffee"

words helped the salesman in his in

value of a good name and reputation.

Basket Ball.

The basket ball game between the
Hamilton team and Ogden first team
last evening at ogden Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium resulted in second victory
for Ogden. At the end of the first half
the score stood 10 to 10. and at the end
of 20 minutes, the time allotted to the
game Is to 15 The rules of the game
require that in case of a tie play
should proceed until one team scores
two points.
Ten minutes of rough Rugby was
required to gain the decisive two points
which were then scored by Ogden. The
game was considered by all those pres
ent as not being a very creditable ex-
hibition of basket ball playing, and
came near being called off On account
of rough play by the Ogden team. Co
rey of Ogden was ruled off for that Of
fence. The umpiring was strict and
