OFFICIAL RETICENCE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Inquiry at
the state department confirms the an
nouncement from the British foreign
office that the British government has
refused to take part inany conference in
which the Russian and japanese dele
gates participate. Beyond this con-
firmation the officials of the department
decline to discuss the question as to fur
ther progress on the subject. Mr.. John
w. Foster, ex-secretary of state, who is
in charge of the interests of the United
States in the Bering seal seal fisheries
matter was asked about the statement
that there would be two conferences, ORE
between the United States and Great
Britain and the other between the
United States, Russia and Japan, and he
declined to discuss this point at the pres
ent time.
Hon. John w. Foster makes public the
names of the following delegates, who
are to represent the Russian govern
ment al the conferences: Councillor Mar
tens of the ministry of foreign affairs
and professor of internationa law in the
University of ST. Petersburg; Court

A REASON GIVEN
CHICAGO, Oct. GA special to the
Tribune from Washington, D. c., says:
The sudden reluctance of the British
government to carry into effect the vir-
tual promise Of Lord Salisbury to erter
into the fisheries conference followed
swift upon the return Of the experts
Messrs Darcy, Thompson and Macoun,
from their Investigation of the condition
and prospects of the seal herd. 1t is
said that the indisputable facts which
confronted them on the seal Islands were
so overwhelmingly contradictory of
their theories and assertions regarding
the herd that 1t became necessary, in the
language of contests for another class,
to spar for wind" hence the latest de-
velopments.
Notwithstanding this, officials here be-
lieve the conference will be held, Begin
ming in the latter part of the present
month, and Great Britain will be repre-
sented, as she has agreed to be.

TREGO COUNTY IN COURT.

1t is doubtless surprising to many
honest vOtOrS to learn that Trego
county has to be sued, brought into
court, in order to make her pay her
debts (?), yet such appears. at first
glance, to be the fact Readers of
the local papers may have read the
district court docket for the last ses-
sion printed in them. T. so. they
may have read the entry. 'sW. G.
Olson VS.. Trego County-Debt." That
is the only thing that has appeared
in the Independent in regard to the
suit and was the first public mention of
it. That one short line was so obscure
and indefinite that the average
reader would hardly see, read or un-
derstand it. This modesty or reti-
cence on the part of Mr.. Olson seems
to have been intentional and for a
purpose. Notice of the suit was
served upon the county clerk. but
Mr.. UfOrd was so aStOniShed and his
memory so paralyZed by the DraZen
prepOSterOuSneSS of the claim that he
forgot to tell the county commission
erS any thing about the matter until
Monday evening, October 4, only
about twelve hours before the case
was called, Notwithstanding he had
been in session with them all day and
had seen them several times during
the weeks since the case had been
filed by him as deputy clerk of the
to keep all knowledge of this case
from the public, and especially from
the officers whose duties are to look
after the interests of the county. 1t
was the intention to sneak this case
into court without giving them any
opportunity to make a defense or
even consult an attorney. 1t was the
intention to collect from the county
an illegal claim through the collusion
of the claimant and the county clerk.
But it failed.
Two competent attorneys and the
commissioners will see that justice is
done. No one should ask more or do
less.
1t is generally understood that
schemes of this kind are Matched in
the office occupied by Abe F'rakes and
Allen Cox. and it is known that the
latter made a hasty trip to a neighbor-
ing city at midnight just a few hours
after the commissioners were notified
of the suit and that he went in quest
of an attorney of similar character
and caliber to help him rush the
claim through before a defense could
be made.
By this bill Mr.. Olson seeks to get
pay for printing which he was under
no obligation to do and for which he
has not now and never has had a legal
contract. The printing was done by
the WORLD, and the commissioners
dllOWed JUe WORLD Dlll lOI U1C Sdul0
in accordance with the orders and
decisions of the courts, the letter of
the law: and upon the advice of COM
petent attorneys. There is no danger
that Trego county will be forced to
pay for this work a second time un-
less Mr.. Olson can sneak his claim
through the courts or be able to select
a board of county commissioners who
will allow the bill in defiance of all
laws of God or man and regardless of
conrts and counsel-an event we do
not fear.

tia to reduce the number of compa-
MES of militia in the state to twelve.

md the inspection will determine
which of the companies will be mus
tered out. This inspection may result

PEELED to give way to new organiza-
tons.
