The temporary hitch in the arrangements
for the international seal conference at
Washington can hardly have been a com.
plete surprise.
When Mr.. FOSTER went to London. some
months ago. his primary purpose, of course,
was to secure a modification of the rules
for sealing under the Paris award. At
first he met with little success in Eng.
land, but continued on to St. Petersburg,
and there obtained Russia's consent to
take part in an International conference
on the subject, while Japan's was received
later, after his return to Washington. And
before Mr.. FOSTER left London Oh his way
home, Lord SALISBURY agreed to send a
representative to a meeting which should
be held at Washington after the return of
the experts who went to Behring Sea for
the purpose OF comparing their reports.
1t is to be observed thar Lord SALISBURY.
in asserting to such a conference, expressly
spoke of it as on" between representatives
of the United States, Great Britain and
the Dominion of Canada. BY not referring
to Russia and Japan he implied that they
were not to take part; and his express

tanned by the representatives of those three
powers confirmed this implication.
That he knew at the time that Mr.. Eos.
TER wanted Russia and Japan to Join in
is clear, since not only was our Enjoys
visit to st. Petersburg a matter of COMMON
report in the newspapers, but. 1t appears,
Mr.. FOSTER communicated to him the sue.
cess of that errand and, further, the diplo.
matte correspondence contains a letter of
Col. A notifying Lord SALISBURY Of the
expectation Of our Government that Rus.
STA and Japan would a part. Still, Lord

ness to have Great Britain represented in
such general conference, and hence, we say,
the recent report that she hesitated to be
30 represented presumably cannot have
come wholly as a surprise.
Great Britain did not see her way clear to
a conference in which Russia and Japan
might side with the United States and out
vote her. 1t is true hat no conclusion of
such a conference would have a binding
force for her, because it would be merely
one for dcliberation and discussion. But
she might perhaps dislike the moral effect
of a conclusion by such an international
body hat the Paris rules were inadequate.

The Republican Ticket.

In a square fight between the Republican
and Democratic organizations in the Greater
New York the Republican ticket nominated
last night should win.
The Republicans are united, stronger
thar ever in the conviction that right
and reason are on their side, while
the Democrats are divided. Dependency,
shamc, and trickery are struggling on
the one hand to conceal or evade the Chi
cage platform, made by a higher power
thar Tammany, and Organism in its full
madness, but with unquestionable sincerity,
L. fighting angrily for its reafirmation.
On the actual merits Of the case the
Greater New York Is more Republican
to-day than 1t was when last year it voted
for a Republican President by a majority
Of nearly 10000. 1t is 6rmer in Its belief
in the ST. Louis platform, and more eager
to see it upheld.

the Citizens Union. How much can Mr..
Low, on the strength Of his prctension 20
Rcpublicanism and his conservation to
himself, divert from the mass of voters
who would naturally support the Repub-
lican ticket2 How much harm can Mr..
Lows candidacy dor To what extent can
the decisions Of his canvass ~materializc
Into votes at the expense Of the recog.
mixed party Of law and order?
Probably little at most. Yet that little
may be enough to put Tammany in office,
or possibly the Democratic faction led by
Mr.. Henry GEORGE.
Mr.. Low can answer the above qpcstions
by ccasing to be a candidate. II he insists
chat the mystery shall not be revealed be-
fore election day, the Republicans must

years later; Hull remained stationary In
the fourth place and Southampton in tho
sixth Newcastle sank from h third to
the fifth place. Glasgow, which In 1879
was the tenth port in point OF mag.
nitude, had become the seventh in 1893,
and during tho same period Middlesboro
had jumped from the eighteenth to the
eighth place. Hartlepool, on the other
hand, dropped from tho ninth place to the
twenty first. II we look at percentages of
gain we find some still more surprising
figures. Thus at Newport the percentage
of gain during the period named was 3s2;
at Fleetwood, SOC, and at Kirkcaldy SAT
per cent. Even London, in spite of the re.
ports that trade is being driven away from
the Thames, advanced at n greater rate
than the average gain Of the United King
dom, so far as imports are concerned, and
even with regard to exports kept pace with
it. Her imports now constitute slightly
more than a third and her exports rather
less than n third of the whole.

by the Paris tribunal. We need not be sur.
prised, therefore, to find her now asserting
that since that decision applied only to the
United States and herself the introduction
of other parties, not bound by it, is a pro.
ceeding she cannot approve.
Our recent London dispatches, however,
have indicated that England will consent
to take part in the conference, even with
Russia and Japan participating. II so, it

In nominating Gen. BENJAMIN F. TRACY
for Mayor of the Greater New York, the Re.
publican Convention last night gave the
people of all parties a candidate to vote for
who stands head and shoulders above any

TRACY is the prominently fit man for the
