FUN FOR PHoNoGRAPH MEN.
The phonograph men are having fun
with the Luetgert case. Yesterday
afternoon the big sausage maker re-
fused 10 talk into a phonographic re-
celYer until a contract was made that
would insure him so per cent of the re-
ceipts. 1t had been agreed by Arnold
Luetgert. son of the prisoner, that the
Columbia Phonograph Company should
have an option OF the talk" for two
weeks at $1,000, and II the company de-
cllned to buy at that time, the go per
cent contract should remain in force.
But Luetgert upset all negotiations by
refusing to talk.
Talk Is cheap, as a general thing"
said he. But my talk costs money to-
day"
Courtland Shaw, manager Of the pho
nograph company, made the following
announcement in the photographic ma
chine, which had been carried to Luet-
gert's cell: 'Adolph l.. Luetgerts de-

LONDON, Oct. 6-The officials Of the
British foreign office have communi-
Gated to the United States ambassador
Col. John Hay, the final decision that
the government OF Great Britain must
refuse TO take part in any sealing con-
ference with representatives of Japan
and Russia. The British government
however, asserts Its willingness to con-
fer with the United States alone, hut
It insists that Russia and Japan are NOT
interested In the Bering Sea seals TO
degree emitting them to representation
at the conference. The British govern
ment does not suggest any date for a
conference with the United States, and
II Is thought probable in London that
Great Britain's withdrawal will result
in two meetings, one between the Unit
ed States, Russia and Japan and the
other between the United States, Great
Britain and Canada.
It cannot be too strongly reiterated
that the withdrawal OF Great Britain
from the Washington conference Is due
10 Cnnada's insistence, and that until
the Canada officials informed the for
eIgn office of Canada's objections to
meeting Russia and Japan, out OF fear
of being outvoted, Great Britain fully
Intended to enter the conference with
the three other governments.
But for Col Hays representations,
the first announcement of Great Brit
aims unwillingness TO take part In the
the conference would have been final,
but the United States ambassador so
plainly pointed out the unusual char
acter OF Great Britains change OF
mind at so late \ day that some OF the
foreign office officials decided to reopen
the question and have been endeavor-
ing, but unsuccessfully to secure Can
ada's acqulescence.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador to the United Suites, also
used his influence In a spirit OF friend
illness to the United States in efforts to
secure the adherence Of Great Britain
to the original programme.
The diplomats here consider that
Great Brltain's course was not cour-
teous to Russia and Japan.
Experts who have been investigating
the sales OF sealskin5 in London, In or
der to obtain evidence for the use of
the United States al the conference,
have proof that so per cent OF the skins
sold by the Canadian companies are
those OF female seals, and that most OF
the animals were shot.

HAVANA, Oct. Gin spite OF Cap
tain General Weyler's prohibition, a
notable demonstration took place hero
to-day in his honor. The bourse was
closed, as were also the principal stores
and manufactures. All the main
streets were gailv decorated. The var
ious professions united at Central
Park, and moved together TO the Plaza
in front OF the captain generals palace.
where as many as 10000 people were
gathered. Several bands dlscoursed pa
triotlc music. The plaza and thor
oughfares leading into It were denselH
crowded. A number OF deputationT
went TO the palace, where Captain
General Weyler received them. They
assured him that It was the desire OF
all the loyal Inhabitants OF the island
that he should continue at the head or
the government and carry on the cam
paign against the insurgents. They
also expressed confidence that the Ma
drld government was inspired with al
together too high designs for the wei
fare OF the country to withdraw the
illustrlous chief who had subjusated
the insurTection."
Captain General Weyler, after thahk-
ing the deputatlons for their assur-
ances, said:
81 believe the war should he ended
with war here as everywhere else and
not with shameful dealings, disgrace
full 70 any nation, aud all the more so
in view OF the terrible condition OF tho
rebels. l have followed the policy OF

dispose OF my position In whatever
way It may think convenient"
The entire demonstration was order
