CONFERENCE is ASSURED
Great Britain Agrees to Consider the Sealing
Question Again.
Formal Announcement by the Foreign
Omce-Special COmmissiOneP Fos-
ter En- Route Home.

LONDON. July 3o-The British foreign
office notified Ambassador Hay this morn
ing that Great Britain accepted the propo-
sition Of the United States for an interna-
tional conference on the question of pelagic
sealing in the Bering sea. to be held in
Washington during the coming autumn.
MIR. Foster Will Sail Tomorrow.
Mr.. John w. Foster, the United States
special commissioner on the sealing ques-
ton, will sail for New York tomorrow by
the St. Louis from Southampton.
In the course of an interview with the
correspondent of the Associated Press to-
Gay Mr. Foster said: wherever have
been. at ST. Petersburg. Berlin, Paris or
here In London, have been received in the
most cordial manner. Whatever may be
the feeling in the United States anent the
often reported antagonism to our govern
ment displayed by foreign powers. l have
seen nothing of it.
the foreign governments wish to meet any
question raised by the United States in the
spirit of the utmost frankneSs and OPEN
m.ndedneSS. Perhaps it Is needless for me
to say that this is most gratifying to me
officially and in my private capacity.
Returns to Make His Report.
The British government has agreed to
ference. l am now returning to make an
immediate report to President Mckinley.
l have had long and entirely candid con-
ferences with Mr.. Chamberlain and last
Sunday l passed the day with Sir Richard
Webster. the attorney general, who is the
adviser of the British government on the
Points of law involved. My statements met
with the frankest and most impartial con-
Sideration.
AS to the Hawaiian question I may say
that in London. Paris, Berlin and ST. Pc
tersburg l have had ample opportunity to
ascertain the prevailing sentiment in po-
htfcal and commercial circles. In all these
capitals annexation is generally regarded
as the natural If rot inevitable, result of
the large growth and expansion of the
United States on the western coasts of
America
AS 1t could not be expected" continued
Mir. Foster. that any other foreign power
would be permitted to occupy the islands,
owing to their strategic importance the
proposed annexation would be acquiesced
In by the European governments, although
the position which il would give the United
States in the Pacific would not be welcomed
by nations seeking supremacy in that quar-
ter of the world.
My personal views on this question are
well known in the United States Never
theless. it is extremely gratifying that the
necessary Expansion of the United States
Will not be the cause of European difficult
ties. and is appreciated as the logical out
come of American deStiny'
