sherman Has Not Talked vigorously Over
the Seal Question.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The fact that
the state department is preparing for
transmission to congress the correspond
ence that it has had since the beginning
Of the session respecting the Bering
seal fisheries appears to have been con.
strued in some quarters and by the
London Chronicle as an indication OF a
purpose on the part of our government
TO announce its adoption of bold
American policy"
The truth is that this particular cor.
respondence was led for by congress
weeks ago and has been DELAYED in
transmission principally because Mr.
Foster, who conducted personally the
greater part of it, in conjunction with
Mr.. Hamlin, was absent in Europe.
Now, however. II is in shape and prob.
ably will go to congress this week. 1t
can be stated that it will not show any
change in the policy of this govern.
ment, which has, ever since the first
years experience under the Paris
award regulations, showed the inef-
ficacy of those regulations to protect
the seals. and lost no opportunity to
urge an extension of the rules upon
Great Britain. This has been done
courteously at all times and Great Brit.
ain has responded in like spirit. though

Republicans Caucusing Over
the Sugar Bounty.
DEMOCRATS HoTLY OPPOSED TO IT.
rhey Threaten to Debate the Question
an indefinite Length Of Time to Pre-
vent Its Incorporation Into the Bill.
Republican Senators Differ.

WASHINGTON, July 6.--The Repub.
lican senators are holding another eau.
Gus today, owing to such divergence
of views as to make It quite evident
that only in a party conference could
the sugar bounty question be settled in
way to bind all.
At one time 1t appeared that the
finance committee would reintroduce
the beet sugar amendment in response
to the representations Of the advocates
of bounty.
The senator's holding the view that
this was the proper course to pursue
based their arguments upon the ground
that the last Republican senatorial eau
Gus had deci ded IN favor of such q
bounty. This brought out the fact that
there had been comparatively few sena-
tors at the caucus when the vote was
taken and that some Of the absentees
would not agree to be boun d by its de.
cision. The committee decided, on
account of this conflict, to resubmit the
matter to caucus
1t appears probable that the caucus
will rescind the order of the previous
session directing the committee to re-
port sugar amendment but the sugar
bounty advocates hope that at the same
time the Republican senators will be
instructed to vote for the amendment
as offered by Senator Allen. They thus
hope to put the party IN the senate on
record as tor the amendment while
they avoid the responsibility for the de-

The Democratic leaders still an
nounce themselves as unalterably op.
posed to the bounty provision and say
they will debate it for an indefinite
length of time in order to prevent its
incorporation into the bill.

THE STRIKE BENEFITS THEM.
West Virginia Miners Very Unlikely to
Join Their Brethren.

OOln lntlr Bretntrn.
WHEELING, July Tt is not prob
able that the miners in this state will
very generally respond to to the ma
tional strike order. Great pressure
is being brought to bear upon them by
the United Mine Workers officials to
join the strike, but so far without sue
cess, The impression among both
operators and miners in this state is
that West Virginia will be able to sup.
ply the demand for coal in the event
Of prolonged strike, and that the
operators will be justified to offer the
miners inducements to remain at work,
as they did in 1894.
Chief Mine Inspector Paul says that
he does not look for much response to
the order. He says: "If the West
Virginia miners remain at work during
the strike in other states, new markets
will open up for West Virginia Goals,
which West Virginia operators can
hold after the termination of the strike
During the strike of 1894, the oper-
ators were pushed to supply the de-
mand for coal and were able to give
the miners bonuses to remain at work. 1"

LONDON, July 5.-The celebration Of
Independence day took the form in the
Robert Browning social settlement of a
meeting in favor of arbitration. Will.
lam L. Stead, editor of The Review of
Reviews, presided. He embarrassed
Rev. DIR. Milburn, chaplain of the

by appealing to him to assure the meet
ing that the United States senators who
voted for the treaty represented q ma
jority of the people and the bulk of
the intelligence of the United States.
DR.. Milburn made no reply to this
appeal, but in the course of his address
he said that the descendants of Eng
lishmen in the United States were as
loyal to many English traditions as
Englishmen themselves, but that Amer
lea rejoiced in her own independence.
