tlonal measures of protection for the seals
in Esr1Eg sea The ex-secretary has Sc
cured powerful assistance from the great
London skin dressers, who handle all the
sealskins taken in the North Pacific and
Boring sea. and prepare them, as they
can nowhere else be prepared for use in
garments. These merchants are fully adj
yaSed as TO the prospects of each wears
catch and the state Of the sealeries 50
IL is regarded as strengthening Gen Fos-
tiers case very much when, as he reports
By cable TO the state department, they
affirm the correctness OF the conclusions
reached by the American expert Jordan
and by inference reject those OF the Ca
madam expert Thompson. The issue be-
tween these experts, shortly stated, is
whether or not the seals are being ex-
terminated under existing regulations.
and the American finding was in the az
frmarIve. II Gen. Foster has paved the
way TO an international conference to
protect the seals. he has secured the most
urgent Of the demands made by our gov
eminent, but there is still no evidence
that the British government is willing to
enter into a modus vlvendi to save the
seals while the .EterminabIe talk of such
conference is going on, and that was,
II is said here, one of the most impor-
tant objects of his mission.
Senator Burrows has just achieved a
great reputation for diplomacy. He has a.
large and enthusiastic constituency clam
oring for an extension of aid 10 the Gu
bans. AT the same time he has certain
irons in the fire at the White House and
does not want to go IN advance OF the
administration upon the Cuban policy.
So he compromises the matter this way:
Mrs. Burrows, his wife. joins this Cuban
league and Is in the fronk rank OF the
! sympathizers. while her husband votes
against the recognition resolution In tho
senate. A story Is told in this connec-
ton by the friends of Mrs. Burrows. who
declare that the imputation Of expedi-
ency upon her part is a SANDER II al
leges 10 be the true story why Senator
Burrows did not deliver his long adver-
tised speech in the senate against the
beliigerency resolution.
He had prepared the speech" recites
the deponent. "but Mrs. Burrows prevent
cd him delivering It. The first day he was
called upon he declared that he did no. feel
/ well enough. and the senate excused him
until the next day. When the time came
around senator Hale said TO him: Now is
your time, Burrows. TO deliver your
speech. see you have ii on your desk
: I really don't feel well enough to DO it
today. replied the Michigan senator; I
was up al! night with my wife,
And don't doubt that statement" con-
GUIDED the story teller, flor IL * was nee

him awake all night, until he promised to
