ENGLAND'S FINAL DECISION.
viii Not Take Part i'm Sealing Conference
with Russia and Jnpnn.


London, oct. THE officials Of the
British foreign house have commune
Gated to the United States ambassador,
Colonel Hay. the final decision Of that
government that Great Britain must
refuse TO take part in any sealing con-
ference with representatives Of Russia
and Japan. The British government,
however asserts its willingness to con-
fer with the United States alone, but
it insists that Russia and Japan are
not interested in the Bering sea seals
TO a degree emitting them TO represen-
tation at the conference. The British
government does not suggest any date
for a conference with the United States
and IT Is thought probable in London
that Great Britain's withdrawal will
result i'm two meetings, one between the
United States, Russia and Japan and
the other between the United States,
Great Britain and Canada.
1t cannot be too strongly reiterated i
that the withdrawal of Great Britain
from the Washington conference is due
To Canada's insistance, and that until
the Canadian officials informed the for
eign office here of Canada's objections
to meeting Russia ana Japan, out of
fear Of being outvoted Great Britain
fully intended to enter the conference.

passing the Scilly islands light at 1875

lightship twenty minutes later. Allow

2:35 p. m. This will make the time Of
passage about sd 15h 13m.
This is better by eighteen hours and
eleven minutes than the time Of the
