WASHINGTON Letter.
from our Reaular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, November 5, 1897
President Mckinley, like any other
good Republican, would have liked to
have seen the party make better
showing In some states than IL did in
this week's elections, but he sees
nothing in the results to SHOW tn at
there has been any falling off in the
allegiance of the voters to the ma
tional principles of the Republican
party, nor to his administration
The causes which brought about dis
appointing results were in every case
well known. In some they might
have been avoided. Looking at the
whole business from purely national
point Of view, the Republicans came
out OF the elections with a gain of one
senator, and with experience that
should be very valuable in future
campaigns. 1t is true that the vic
tory in Ohio and in Maryland was
won by dangerously small margins,
but such has been true of many of
the greatest political victories ever
won. On the whole, the party came
out very we'll for an off year, and the
first in a new administration at that.
Secretary Alger will make one rec
ommendation In his annual report
that will be especially pleasing to or
gained labor. That is, that the pay
Of musicians in army bands be in
creased sufficiently to prevent their
having to seek private engagements
in competition with private bands in
order to earn enough to keep them
selves and their families.
EX-Srcretary 0. State Foster, who
has presented the United States in
all the seal negotiations with foreign
countries, is naturally very happy
over the outcome OF the conference
between representatives of this coun-
try, Russia and Japan, which has
been going Oh in Washington for sew
eral weeks. The result of the confer
ence is a treaty between the powers
named for the suspension Of pelagic
sealing IN Behrlng sea and the mort h.
ern Pacific ocean. Great B "itain took
no part IN tins conference, but it Is
the general opinion Of those who are
familiar with the matter that her
subjects will have to respect the
treaty, whether a similar one be
negotiated between her and the
Unled States or not. Tie agent

In a scaling conference with the United
States has unOtficially expressed him.
self AS favoring an agreement similar
to that embodied in the treaty L.
asmnch as Mr. Fosters enemies had
predicted that nothing whatever
would be accomplished by the sealing
conference there is ample cause for
his feeling happy.

That rank bank failure at Edgerton

to come forth with some explanation.
