The refusal of President Mckinley
to furnish the Senate copies of the
Behring Sea Correspondence has re-
suited in starting number OF wild
rumors concerning the belllgerent tone
OF that correspondence that may re-
suit in doing much more harm
than the publication of the CORE
spondence would have done. Hereto
fore the present administration has
been conducting foreign policy open
to the inspection of Senators and
Representatives, and this return to
the secretive methods of the Cleveland
regime is not fancied in Congress, nor.
in fact, anywhere else; it breeds too
many sensational rumors, which are
not Iessened by the pu LEGATION OF
Secretary Sherman's instructions to
Ambassador Hay, which plainly say
that Lord Salisbury has not been
acting in good faith"

price that may be paid per ton for
