England WithdrAws From the Seal TisAs ,
les Conference

London, September 25.-A decide
sensation has been caused In diploma
circles here by Great Britain's noiju
cation TO the United States that xh
cannot participate in the sealing c..
ference at Washington. IL Russia al
Japan take part in IL. The oiiic ials
the British foreign office decline l.
give the reasons for this change u2
policy, but they admitted that the mar
quis OF Salisbury had notified the
United States ambassador. Colsrs.s
John Hay. OF his decision in this mat
ter, though the premier's decision IL
not absolute.
The action OF the marquis OF Sails
bury is all the more surprising. in view
of the fact that he accepted for Great
Britain the invitation TO take part In
the conference, with the full knowR-
edge that Russia and Japan were in
cluded in the invitation. 1t is known
that the Canadian government request
ed the withdrawal Of Great Britain,
from the sealing conference and the
government unwilingly acceded to
this request. in accordance with it's
policy of cultivating the friendship Os
the colonies, even at the risk OF offend
ing other powers concerned.
1t Is thought in diplomatic circles
that Canada's action in the premises
was influenced by the fear that Greaa
Britain would be outvoted by tins.
United States, Russia and Japan, whose
views regarding the protection OF seals
coincide. Great Britain has not moth
fed Russia or Japan OF her intentioD
not to take part in the conference and
her notice to the United States was
sent too late for the other three gov
ernments to change their arrange
ments.
Ex-Secretary John w. Foster. coun-
sci for the United States on the BehriuE
sea negotiations with Great Britain
said tonight, with reference to today-s
cablegram from London on the subjeca-
that this government had received I'D
information from the British embassy
here or from Ambassador Hay thai
England had decided not to join In tins
Washington conference, or was likely
to % so. Further than this Mr.. Foster
declined to make any statement for
pubs alton.
