The Character of the Late
 Canadian Agreement
DISCLOSED BY A TELEGRAM
Asking for a Commission to
 Settle All Differences
A Close Season for Seals in the Pacific and Sehring Sea for One Year Beginning December was PrOpoSed.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Dispatchs from Ottawa announcing that the Ca nadian cabinet has decided to sand a commission to Washington to ne- gotiate with a similar commission to be appointed by the United States government to consider all the ques tions at issue between the United States and Canada has had the inn portant effect of drawing forth here for the first time statement of the exact proposition that was laid before the Canadian contingent in Washing ton a few days ago.
 It can now be stated that the pro- posaI of MT. Foster, representing the United States, which Canadian of ficials took with them to submit te their council, was: First, that both nations agree at once to a suspension of all killing of seals during the next season in the Pacific ocean and Beh- ring sea, the agreement to go into operation the first of next month.
 Second, that representatives of the two governments of the United States and Great Britant, including Canada, be designated to enter with as little delay as possible upon the consideration of all unsettled ques- tions between. Canada and the United States with a view to settlement by treaty of all differences"
 So far the state department has not been advised that the Canadian coun-. cil has acted upon the propositions, ! but that an early answer is expected is evidenced by the fact that the date set for the beginning of the modus vii vendi, stopping the killing of seals is no later than the first of rext month
 One important fact that is not clear l ly disclosed in the Canadian dispatch 1 is that the modus vivendi must be 1 agreed upon positively before our gov
 ernment consents to the commission. 1 In other words, there must be no kill 1 ing of seals while the commission is at work. The commission might oc- cupy long time in its deliberations and if peIagic sealing is to go on
 meanwhile it is believed by our ex- perts that there will be no seals left
 to serve as a basis for negotiations The proposition of our govern
 ment having been so explicitly stated,
 it may be understood that the =
 nouncement of the purpose of the Ca
 nadians to appoint commission inn
 plies that they have decided to
 accept the premise, namely, an agrse-
 ment upon a mOdus vivendi. Nothing l has yet been done toward arranging the details of the commissions work,
 should one bs agreed upon. Up to
 the present time there has been ID in
 timation of how the British govern ment views the formation of a con-
 mission.

POLICE INTERESTED.
Local Authorities Acquainted With
One Sykes, Arrested Mt Norfolk.

One Sykes, Arrested at Norfolk.
A dispatch from Norfolk, Va, gives in
teresting details of the arrest there of a
young man named Nathaniel Sykes on a
charge Of stealing a bicycle, and whose
case has not been decided by the court.
The young man, it is alleged, is known in
other sections of the state as DR.. McCree-
ry and DR.. Fletcher. Under one of these
aliases, 1t is said, he edited a paper in
Waynesboro, and warrant charging
fraudulent use of the mails in connection
with the paper, has been issued at Staun-
ton. 1t is also said that he is charged with
having sold liquor in Nelson county in vio-
lation of law. and it is further stated that
when he left Nelson county he left wife
and child there. This last allegation has
not been verified.
When arrested recently Sykes had Just
married Miss Katie Callahan, daughter Of
Patrick Callahan of Staunton. The mar
riage ceremony was performed at Eliza
beth City. but because of her parents re-
ligious convictions the ceremony was again
performed after the arrest of the husband.
A magistrate off1ciated in the first mar
riage. In order to have the second cere-
mony repeated according to the custom Of
the church, Sykes was taken from Jail to
the pastoral residence Of the Rev. Father
Doherty of st. Marys Catholic parish
When the prisoner had been remanded to
jail his wife returned to her parents.
Nathaniel Sykes is by no means strang-
er in police circles in this city, having fig
ured here in 1880 in a case involving the
theft of a number Of law books. There
we're three charges against him, and he
was given a year in jail. Two years later
he was defendant in a case involving the
theft of bicycle, and while the police
knew his real name was Nathaniel Sykes;
he was arraigned under the aliases Leno
Curtis and Newton Sykes.
Because Of their experience with him, the
local police are interested in the outcome
