MR.. SHERMAN'S REPLY.

Prompt Response to Englaad's Refusal to
Take Part in the Seal Conference.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Sccretary
Sherman has written a reply to the note
of Lord Salisbury expressing Great
Britain's declination to take part i'll u
Boring sea conference in which Russia
and Japan are to participate. The
answer states that the United States
government views with establishment
the determination of Great Britain not
to participate in a conference including
Russia and Japan, and tho statement is
made that up to the 23d of last month
the United States authorities had fully
expected that the conference would pro-
coed with Russia and Japan, as well as
Great Britain, present. 1t is pointed
out that, aside from the written CORE.
spondence to which Lord Salisbury had
called attention, there were verbal
negotiations between Ambassador Hay
and his lordship in which specific refer.
ence was made to the
Participation Of Russia and Japan.
At one of these verbal exchanges, it is
stated, Lord Salisbury said he would
advise with the officials of the foreign
Office concerning the subjects discussed
which included the participation of
Russia and Japan. Subsequently, on
July 20, Ambassador Hay wrote to Lord
Salisbury, saying the president hoped
to have Russia and Japan participate in
the conference. In view of these cir.
cumstances, the United States had con.
6dently expected that Great Britain
would take part in the conference and
that Russia and Japan would be repre-
sented, with the approval Of Great
Britain.
Besides the foregoing reply, and in
view of the differences which have
arisen, the state department suggests a
conference in accordance with the terms
of Lord Salisbury's agreement as he
constructs it, namely, between experts
of Great Britain, the United States and
Canada.

Police persecution and intimidation

The case fairly drips with the vile rot

torted and fragmentary bits Of perjured
evidence so wholly contradictory and
unreliable that no jury composed OF

| Perhaps if they could have read the New
York papers the following week they
would not have kept the baby; but they
could not read and they had no friends,
and two weeks later they were on their
way to San Francisco to join a brother of
Mrs. Mullins there.
The Mullins prospered in their new
home. and Johnny was the pet of the
neigh borhood as soon as be was old
enough to be sent to kindergarten only
few blocks away. And then his happy
days began. How he did love the music
and the games and the bright, pretty
work. You could hear his sweet little voice
above all the others, and he com mpletely
won the hearts of all the ladies who
visited Miss Bonner's kindergarten.
There was one lady who came very often
with a sad face. and the children had
learned intuitively to know her as their
friend. As Mayday drew near there was
no doubt of her friendship in any of their
happy little hearts, for "the kind lady,"
as the children called her, had promised
to turn the kindergarten into fairy
bower, and all kinds of delightful things
were promised.
A Maypole dance, icecream and plenty
of candy! Little Johnny rushed home,
quite breathless. to tell his mother about

THE HOLE IN
JOHNNIE'S POCKET

IOHNNY MULLINS was not his right
Oname. Johnny knew this and shared
the secret with the whole neighbor-
hood, for Mrs. Mullins told each friend
privately about il, and being an open
secret and such q good story l mean to
tell you about it also.
Four years ago Mr.. and MIS- Mullins
had arrived in San Francisco. They
brought with them sweet little babv bow
year old. Such beautiful baby. with
bright golden hair and blue eyes. No one
comparing the faces of mother and child
ever doubted Mrs. Mullins tale. But
though her face was plain as the cbild's
was refined she had the proverbial heart
of the Irish. She had sorrowed long oyer
the loss OF a baby, who had died of scarIet
fever few months before JOHNNY ban
been left on her doorstep.
How many, many times she had told
the story. Mr.. Mullins always had a
secret misgivlng that be ought to have
made the matter known to the police. but
lis wife's delight over the baby kept him
silent, and when she asked, with tears in
her eyes, if she could keep the baby he
could only answer Yes"
There was no mark on its pretty clothes
10 Haow where the baby came from; but
around It's neck was a simple gold chain
with a Iocket attached, containing pic
,urs of baby on one side and a sweet
fact d lady on the other.

were trying to keep their great canoe
above the waves. They came up from the
bottom of the great canoe when the white
men could not see them. We struck them
down one at time and threw them into
the water that was calling aloud for them.
All except one. He saw me and ran down
into the great canoe and 1 was after him
so close that | fell.
"He was on his feet and grasped me, but
the strength of the ghostman was mine.
We fought and he fell Then / seized
him, bleeding, and carried him out OF
the bottom of the canoe, and the king
shark was waiting for him. As he fell
into the water he made a great shout.
Then wave came. Most of the black
men were carried over into the water and
swan in the black waves. Then the wind
struck the great canoe and the ghostman
howled and the sails and masts went out
of the canoe at the call of the ghostman."
That was the story as it was interpreted
by John Letour. 1t made a strong i'm
preston upon Mr.. Ostend. Before he had
time to ask any questions he was called
up on deck by Mr.. Lane.
II am not much acquainted with these
latitudes," said Mr.. Lane, "but l think a
tornado is coming"
The signs of a tornado were clear.
There was no time 10 be lost in getting
the black men on board OF the California.
The yacht could not ride out such gale
with the hulk fastened to it. Hardly had
the black men been hurrisd ON board of
the California when the waves rose into
mountains of seethng water.
Above the howl of the wind was heard
a shrek. The old chief had thrown him
self in the sea rather than to stay longer
with the hated white men. The hulk had
been cast off and was once more heIplessly
drifting. D. II. w.

"Oh, Miss Bonner; my locket, my beau

The "kind lady" takes Johnny in her
arms and he sobs out all his trouble there.

not join the dancers. Nor will he leave

Here comes little Katy White-elways

Iocket and chain.
But why does the "kind lady" snatch it
so quickly from her hand and open the
locket with such trem bling fingers7 And,
taking one long look, she clasps little
Johnny close to her heart as If she never
meant to let him 60 again.
Miss Bonner. knowing Johnny's history,
is not mystitied and clearly understands
that Johnny has found his true mother,
