~. SAGE LOSES HIS CASE.
Land Filled In Along the River Be.
longs to New York City.

New York, Oct. l3-Ths court of ap.
peals yesterday. in tho case Of Henry
w. Sage against the mayor, handed
down a decision that Affects all the
land around the Island Of Mahh8ttan
which was formerly in the tideway. and
which Is valued at over $a5, 900.
The suit was brought by Mr.. Sage.
who was the owner of certain land on
the Harlem river between Ninety
fourth and Ninety-ffth streets. Tho
city In carrying out its plan Of improve
ment f!led In Q strip In front OF Mr..
Sage's land in what Is known as the
"Tideway." that is. the land lying be-
tween the high and low water marks
Mr. Sage claimed that tho owners
of land fronting on the river either
owned the land in the tideway when
II was filed in by the city. or II they
did not own II they were entitled to the
right Of access from the water to their
own upland. even II the land should be
to high water mark.
Both Judge Barrett, who tried the
case, and the appellate division, on an
appeal from Judge Barrett's decision,
held that the city Of New York had
an absolute ownership of all the land
between low and high water mark,
and that the construction Of an ex-
terror street and buIkhead by the city
gave no right Of action for damages to
an owner Of upland who. by this con-
structlon. was cut off from the water.
This decision has Just been affirmed.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 13.-At the smoker
Riven last evening the Knights Of tn,
Golden Eagle had a royal time. At tht
session of the Supreme Castle this morn
| ing the report Of tho Supreme Chief, VIM
OscRr Brown, of Wilmington, was pro-
scnted. The Supreme Chief made an In.
terssting address on the State OF the orde r.
CONDITION AND GROWTH OF THE ORDER.
Notwithstanding the uncertainty of
business and tho corresponding scarcity ol
employment and low rate Of wages paid
during the past year Of general growth aud
condition OF the Order, | am happy to say,
Is quite encouraging. In several jurisdic-
tions the increase ia very gratifying; In
Michigan and Kentucky it amounting to
over one hundred per cent, and one new
State (Vermont) has .lesn added to ouI
roster.
It is true that we nAvo metl with re.
verses, mostly in manufacturing districts
whore the suspension of work in mills and
factories caused idleness and distress and
in distant and sparsely populated sections
where little fra ternal intercourse was to
be bad v lth sister Castles; but, whore pru-
dence and common sense has been Judi
ciously exercised, and no untoward cir
cumstances has occurred, our Castles have
generally held their ground. With the
wheels OF Industry once more IN motion,
and our people in steady employment at
remunerative compensation, ! look for
revival Of the enthusiasm and energy
which formerly prevailed and aided 80
greatly in its wonderful growth.
would also Ydylss fgai9st the sI,ds,,, tendency
that character and bodily fitness should
be the only standard Of measurement for
applicants. I am not q advocate of high
fees. but experience has convinced me that
organizations which charge reasonably
renunerative admission foo usually COM
mand the respect of the people and Inspire
confidence in their stability.
Tho membeLshipo Of the order Is 59674 in
the United States. The increase during
the year was 450. The amount received
from the castles was t+52, 995. The amount

THE SEAL CONFERENCE.
Secretary Sherman's Reply to Lord
.~ Salisbury's Note.
DUB GOVERNMENT AsToNIsHED.

Our Premier Declares This Nation
Had Reason to Believe Great Britain
Would Take Part In tho Conference,
with Russia aud Japan.
Washington. Oct. 1s.-secretary of
State Sherman has written a reply to
the note of Lord Salisbury expressing
Grent Brltain's declination to take part
IN a Behring sea conference in which
Russia and Japan are to participate.
The essential features Of Mr.. Sher-
mans reply have been sent by cable
to the British government, and the re-
ply in full Is now on its way to the
British authorities. Lord Salisbury's
note Of destination, 1t can now be
stated. bore date of Oct. 9, last We'd
nesday, so that the response is made
with promptness.
The answer states that the United
States government views with aston
ishment the determination Of Great
Britain not to participate in con-
ference including Russia and Japan,
and the statement is made that up to
the 23d of last month the United States
authorities had fully expected that the
conference would proceed with Russia
and Japan as well as Great Britain
present. 1t is pointed out that, aside
from the written correspondence to
which Lord Salisbury had called at
tention. there were verbal negotiations
between Ambassador Hay and his lord
ship, in which specific reference was
made to the participation of Russia and
Japan.
At one of these verbal exchanges, 1t
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 par
ticipate In the conference. In view of
these circumstances the United States
had confidently expected that Great
Britain would take part in the con-
ference and that Russia and Japan
would be represented, with the ap-
proval of Great Britain.
Besides the foregoing reply. and in
view of the differences that have arisen.
the state department suggests con-
ference In accordance with the terms of
Lord Salisburys agreement as he con-
strues 1t. namely, between experts Of
Great Britain, the United States and
Canada. This last feature is now under
consideration by the British govern
ment, its substance having been trans
mitted by cable, but 1t Is not expected
that an answer will be made until Mr..
Shermans answer in detail reaches
London. - ',>.s,.s.as..
In the meantime preparations for the
conference between the United States,
Russia and japan are progressing. The
japanese delegates, who are now en-
route from San Francisco, have de-
cided to stop over for two days at
Chicago, and will not reach Washing
ton until next Sunday night. Two of
the Russian delegates. Mr.. Botkine and
Mr.. Routkowsky, are here. and the re-
naming delegate, Mr.. Grebnitsky, is
expected soon. While no exact date
has been flxed for the conference, the
expectation Is that all the delegates will
be in time to bring them together on
Wednesday of next week.
