HAY AND SALISBURY MEET.
Negotiations Regarding Boring Sea Seals
Proceed Smoothly.

London, July 26.-The negotiations for
an international conference as to sealing
in the Berlng sea are proceeding smooth
ly and the prospects are favorable for
an early agreement between the TWO
governments. Ambassador Hay had a
long and satisfactory interview with Mr..
Chamberlain, secretary Of state for the
colonies, Friday, and afterward met
Lord Salisbury. Later in the day he sent
several code dispatches 20 Secretary
Sherman. The Pail Mall Gazette says:
1--WE are given to understand that Mr..
Foster is not conducting the negotiations
with Great Britain in the Boring sea
controversy, his position being defined
by his own side as adviser on the tech
ncal questions.
1--WE are asked to state that all nego-
tiations with Lord Salisbury on this
subject are conducted by Ambassador
Hay. 1t would seem unnecessary to
most people that this should have to be
officially stated but there are reasons
why the actual position should be prop
erly described. 1t may be said on very
good ground that the United States gov
eminent is anxious in this, as in other
matters, to adhere to the usages of dip
lomatic courtesy and the negotiations
in this country have been conducted in
the most friendly manner"

Regarded as saiisbury's Answer.

London, July 26.-Dispatches from
Washington say that in many parts Of
the United States the ordering of H..
M. S. Renown to American waters as
the flagship of the British north At
lantic squadron, is regarded as Lord
Salisbury's answer to Mr.. Sherman in
the sealing controversy, inasmuch as
this is the first time battleship of
the first-class has been sent into that
quarter. The fact of the case is that
the admiralty had decided to send the
Renown weeks before Secretary Sher-
mans special dispatch to Ambassador
Hay was written.

Our Queer Language.

1t is little wonder that foreigners are
in despair in learning to speak the Eng
lish language. One Of the greatest diff
culties is the way in which the same
syllable sounds have often very different
meanings.
You'll get run in, said the pedes-
trian to the wheelman without a light
You'll get run into" savagely re-
sponded the cyclist as he knocked the
pedestrian down and ran up his spine.
You'll get run in, too" said the
policeman as he stepped from behind a
tree and grabbed the wheel
And just then another scorcher came
along without light, SO the policeman
ran in two Exchange.

their differences were removable in
other way. There was no prospect tina
would ever disappear in the mere proc
ess of growth. 1t was to be apprehended,
on the contrary, that the very processes
of growth would inevitably lead TO the
extension of slavery and the perpetual
ton Of radical social and economic con-
trasts and antagonisms between state
and state, between region and region
A heroic remedy was the only remedy.
Slavery being removed, the south is
now joined with the west-joined with
it in stage of development, as a region
chiefly agricultural, without diversified
industries, without multifarious trade,
without those subtle extended nerves
which come with all round economic
development, and which make men
keenly sensible of the interests that link
the world together, as it were, into a
single community. But these are lines
of difference which will be effaoed by
mere growth, which time will calmly
ignore. They make no boundaries for
armies to cross.
Tide water Virginia was thus sepa
rated once from her own population
within the Allegheny valleys - held
two jealous sections within her own
limits. Massachusetts once knew the
sharp divergences Of interest and design
which separated the coast settlements
upon the bay from the restless pioneers
who had taken up the free lands of her
own western counties. North Carolina
was once a comfortable and indifferent
least" to the uneasy 'west" that was
to become Tennessee. Virginia once
seemed old and effete TO Kentucky.
The great west" once lay upon the
Ohio, but has since disappeared there,
OVERLAND by the changes which have
carried the conditions Of the least" to
the great lakes and beyond.
There has never yet been time in
our history when we were without an
east and a"west, but the novel day
when we shall be without them is now
in sight. AS the country grows it will
inevitably grow homogeneous. Popula-
tion will not henceforth spread, but
compact, for there is no new land be-
tween the seas where the west" can
find another Judgment The conditions
which prevail in the ever widening
"east' will sooner or later cover the
continent, snd sc shall at last be one
