it.
''Racing men respect the new organlza-
ton and follow its rules to the letter;
There are succession OF meets, all OF
which are successful Sundays ana
holidays, of course, are the principal meet
days, but the men have great Gea. OF
racing provided for weekdays. Inc
prizes are large and the men are making
money. The success OF the venture is
phenomenal. We are travelling rlght

US cannot harm US. We simply do not
care for the former controlling body and

SHERMAN'iS SHARP NOTE.
Pointed Inst-uc'ioms TO Hay for J ord
soLiybHry's PerHsa'.

Pointed Ifst-Hcfons 10 nay J0r ora
soLiybmry's Perusa'
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 13.-Im-
portant instructions have recently been
sent by Secretary Sherman to EN- bassador
Hay for his guidance in urging on the
British Government compliance with the
provisions of the Bering Sea award.
The instructions were prepared as re-
ply to a recent note from Salisbury.
Sherman in orms Hay that the pro-
posals for new regulations for preserving
the seals have been rejected and expresses
the Presidents deem concern.
He regrets that England is unable to
make public Professor Thompson's report
until DR.. Jordan's is known, when the
former would be enabled to review, criti-
cize and minimize the latter.
"It is not pleasant" Sherman con-
tlnues, "to have to state thas the i'm
partial character which it has been the
custom to attribute to reports of natural
lists of high standing has been greatly i'm
paired by the apparentisu biection OF this
report to the political exigencies OF the
situation.
at is further to be regretted that the re-
port was so long delayed that no oppor-
tunity was afforded this Govern ment to
examine it before the definite and final
re lection of the Presidents proposals,
based mainly upon its conclusions was
com municated to me.
This conduct recalls an incident which
preceded The arbitration at Paris and
which came near rendering that arbitra-
ton abortive, when similar report of the
British commission was withheld until
after the ca>e OF each Government had
been exchanged and the report of the
American commission made pubic"
Sherman scores Thompson's report as
plainly written TO minimize the seals de-
petion. After reviewing Great Britain 8
persistent neglect of her duties under the
Paris award for the past three years, ,Sher-
man continues:
England from the beginning and con-
tinuously has failed to respect the real
intent aud spirit of the Paris tribunal or
the obligations imposed by il. Upon
Great Britain must therefore rest
in the public conscience responsibility
for the EN- barrassment in the relations of
the two nations which must result from
such conduct. One of the evil results al.
ready indicated is the growing conviction
of our people that the refusal of the Brit
ish Government to carry out the recon-
mendat:ons of the tribunal will needlessly
sacrifice Important interests OF the United
States.
sThe resident, therefore, cherishes the
hope that even at this late day the British
Govern ment may yet yield 10 his con-
tinued desire for q conference of inter-
ested powers, and in delivering to Lord
Salisbury a copy of this Instruction you
will state to him that the President will
hail with great satisfaction any indication
on the part of her Maiesty's Government
OF disposition to agree upon such con-
ference"

Trustees of the Chicago Public LII
brnry Decide Upon an In
noyatfOu.

Chicago. Nov. 13.-The circulating depart
ment of the Chicago public library. as well
as the reading and reference rooms of that
institution. will henceforth be open to the
public on Sundays between = and 6 p: m:
The board of trustees of the library decided
when a special report of the committee on
bylaws was submitted by Trustees Hamil-
ton and Gunderson recommending an
amendment dine tst to the 1 SolaiSis Which Mr Hs msae
burg opposed the motion 10 adopt the COM
mittee report and argued that Its adoption
would not be in good moral taste. He de-
bounced the suggestion as unnecessary and
quoted statistics to demonstrate that pub
lie patronage of libraries in Chicago on the
Sabbath day did not justify the extra e1-
roll call. however. Messrs. Hedenburg.
Gunderson and Lewke were the only men,
bers of the hoard who voted in the Mega
tive. The abortion of the report carried
with 1t a decision to close all departments
of the library on legal holidays.
President Azel F. Hatch. in commenting
upon the decision of the board. said: II
ave been in favor of the open Sunday
plan for some time. It gives the great
mass of wage-earners in particular. and
the people in general: an opportunity to
avail themselves of the advantages Of a
public library On Sunday. which will prove
a great personal convenience. The people
wanted 1t. although there was a minority
which was opposed to the proposition pure
~ uecduse thes = it vas WINS ~
ly. I see no harm, however. In tho perusal
or distribution of standard literature on
Sunday after the morning church hour. 1t
will keep many young men off the streets
and have a tendency to really improve the
morals of the community. 1t will be a
great accommodation to many working
people. 1t has been argued that the Sum
day attendance when the library was in the
city hall was small. but I think this was
largely due to location. 1 believe hat
future statistics on Sunday patronage will
show.a great increase md Justify the claim
room in the new library open on Sunday"
The prominent ministers of the. city do
not appear to be greatly opposed to the
| saying explicitly that they see no objection
To IL
