SEALS AND RECIPROCITY.
John Bull Is Stubborn And Yields
Nothing.

John Bull Is Stubborn And Yields
Nothing
New York, Dec. 29.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Coincident with the rejection OF
Lord Salisbury of the latest seal pro.
position submitted to him by Embas-
sador Hay, Sir Julian Paunceforte,
the British ambassador in Washing
ton, has resumed reciprocity negotia-
tons with Special Commissioner kas-
son.
Although Special Seal ambassador
Foster is still determined to attempt
to force Great Britain to a settlement
of the sealing question without con-
cessions from this government, some
officials of the administration believe
that on the linking of the reciprocity
and scaling questions depends the n
nal decision of Great Britain ON both.
Through ambassador Hay the State
department has been informed by
cable that Great Britain has rejected
the proposition of the government,
that IL consents to the agreement en-
tered into between the United States,
Russia and Japan for the suspension
OF pelagic sealing, Notwithstanding
that the arguments Of the United
states were reinforced by the informa-
ton that legislation is pending under
which Americans will be prohibited
from engaging in Pelagic sealing.

But" said one of the Cubans, +" he
has been ruined by gambling"

Ell, of the Autonomists. He is a law
yer and an eloquent speaker. His
family was at one time rich, but he is
a poor man. He is said to be named

COMING TO AMERICA.

New York, Dec. 29.-A London dis
patch to the World discussing the de-
parture today or New York, of John
Redmond, the earl of Avxa and Oars
man Ruperte Guinness, says:
Mr.. Redmond is going over to work
up the movement for the celebration
of the centenary of the rebellion of
1898.
The Dublin'S Freeman's Journal,
which supports Dillon says, concern
ing Redmond's mission:
1t is mere folly to suggest for a
moment that it is not meant for u
party demonstration in favor of the
campaign of the section of which Mr..
richmond is the leader in this country.
Ii Is an attempt to narrow down the
Us celebration to a party, who are,
to put it very mildly, very small
minority of the Irish race in America
or at home. Redmonds proposition
in Ireland is, in itself. conclusive
proof of the meaning of this American
expedition. Redmond has set himself
in determined opposition to the peace
and unity proposals of Mr.. Harrington
He persists in maintaining the divjs
ion and it is not to be doubted that II
is in pursuance of the policy that his
mission to America has been under
taken"
The earl of Ava is on his way t.
spend the winter in Canada with view
TO engaging in a Klondinke enterprise
in which his father, the Marquis OF
Dufferin, is largely interested. The
earl is one of the most popular men
