Her Delfberation and Circumspection In-
 vite Danger, Says Lord Salisbury.
 London, July 6.-In the house of lords to-day the Marquis of Salisbury reply ing to Lord Connemara, said the de- lay in the settlement of the peace terms between Turkey and Greece was en- tirely the fault of the former There was no delay So far as the powers were concerned; but Turkey had carried de- liberation and circumspection to such an excess that the delay was not with out danger. Though the danger was not immediate, they were at present no nearer to solution of the question than before.
 Having referred to the situation in 1878. pointing out that then a Russian army was at the gates of Constanti- nople, the Marquis of Salisbury re- marked that, as, proportioned to the circumstances, the year 1897 became analogous with the year 1878, so his hopes of a satisfactory result increase. marked If Prince Bismarck were presiding at the conference, as he did in 1878. the result would be different A powerful Russian army was then with in a stones throw of Constantinople and any suggestion from Prince Bis marck that a failure of the conference would result in the movement of that army undoubtedly produced that effect on Turkish deliberations which Is the desideratum now"

Commissioners Foster Intimates That Rus-
 sia and Japan Will Cooperate With Us.
 London, July 6.--Mr John W. Foster, the United States seal commissioner. has arrived here from St. Petersburg and has paid a visit to United States Ambassador Hay. Messrs. Foster and Hay will cooperate in pressing the sealing question upon the British gov- ernment To representative of the Associated Press Mir Foster said the details of the arrangement arrived at with Russia could not be revealed, but. he added, they were entirely satisfac- tory Mir. Foster had no doubt Japan was equally ready to cooperate with the United States in the protection of seals. He was not going to Japan, MT Foster continued; but, he had conferred with the Japanese minister at Wash ington and thought an agreement could be reached directly between the two governments.
 The measure to be agreed upon, how ever, would not be made effective be- fore 1898; but, had Great Britain shown the same willingness as Russia, they might have applied this season.
 Talking of Hawaii, he said: We learned the sentiments of Russia and France during our visit to St. Peters, burg and Paris They won't object to annexation and regard 1t as natural and inevitable. l do not believe Great Britain will object The European gov ernments may not like 1t; but they are reconeiled to 1t. Hawaii does not presage the annexation of Cuba. The cases are entirely dissimilar. Hawaii Is settled by Americans and the United States has obligations to fulfil there, whereas Cuba is a colony of another government"
