CLEAR BACK DOWN BY JOHN SHERMAN Grants John Bull an Audience on
 Seals. BARRING OTHER NATIONS SalSbuFy'S InSiStenC0 on Leaving Out
 Russia and Japan, WHICH APPEARED AS A DEMAND Accepted By the Secretary of State, and Now Johnnie is Considering if He VIII Con-
 descend to Confer With
 Our Uncle.
WHICH APPEARED AS A DEMAND

Washington, Oct 12.-Secretary Sher- l man llas written a reply to the note s.s Lcrd Salisbury expressing Great Bri- Behring sea conference in which Russia ard Japan are to participate. The es- sential points of MT. Sherman's reply have been cabled to the British govern ment and the reply in full is now on it's way to the British authorities.
 Secretary Shermans reply, it can be said, bore date of Oct. 6. last Wednes- day, so that the response is made with promptness The answer states that the United States government views with astonishment the decision of Great Britain not to participate il confer ence including Russia and Japan, and the statement is made that up to the 23d of last month the United States au- thoritjes had fully expected thot the conference would proceed with Russia ard Japan as we'll aus Great Britain present. It is pointed out that, aside from the written correspondence, to which Lord Salisbury had caalled atten- ton, there were verbal negotiations be- tween Ambassador Hay and his lordship, in which specific reference was. made to the participation of Russia and Ja- pan. At one of these verbal exchanges, 1t is stated, Lord Salisbury said he would advise with the. officials for the foreign office concerning the subjects discussed, which included the participa- tion of Russia and Japan.
 Subsequently, on July 29, Ambassa- dor Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury saying the president hoped to have Russia and Japan participate in the conference In view of these circumstances, the United States had confidently expected that Great Britain would take part in the conference and that Russia and Japan would be represented with the approval of Great Britain. Beside the foregoing reply, and i'm view of the differences which have arisen, the state depart ment suggests conference in accord ance with the terms of Lord Salisbury's agreement as he construes it, namely, between experts of Great Britain, the United States and Canada. This last feature is now under consideration by the British government, it's substance having been transmitted by cable, but 1t is not expected that an answer will be made until MT. Sherman's answer in detail reaches London.
 In the meantime preparations for the conference between the United States, Russia and Japan are proceeding. The Japanese delegates, who are now en route from San Francisco, have decided to stop over for two days at Chicago, and will not reach Washington until next Sunday night. Two of the Rus sian delegates, MT. Botkine and MT. Routsky, and the remaining delegate, MT. Grebnitsky, are expected soon. AL though no exact date has been fixed for the conference, the expectation is that all the delegates will be here in time to meet Wednesday, Oct. 20.

The National League Of Republican
Clubs Described.
IT'S ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSES
Numbers 5000 Bodies and Over a
Quarter Million Members.
SKETCHES OF IT'S OFFICERS

The National League of Republican Clubs,
which is SD well repres ented at Washing
ton. is powerful organization, which has
done yeoman service in behalf of the re-
publican party since it's formation, and
was particularly Jealous and successful in
the work it did in the campaign which re-
suited in Major McKinley's election The
league was organized in the fall of 1888 at
a meeting of the representa- tives of var-
Gus state leagues of republican clubs, held
in Chickering Hall, New York. These
leagues in the states, which were composed
of regularly organized republican clubs in
such states had long perceived the neces-
sity of a national organization, so that in
national campaigns there could be organ
lied work in the same direction and for
the same purposes throughout the entire
country, in which every member of every
club could participate along thoroughly un-
derstood lines, and with a common plan
to follow. A constitution and bylaws We're
adopted at the Chickering Hall convention,
which provided that the National League
should be managed by a board of officers
to be chosen at a convention to be held
annually, and composed of delegates chosen
by the conventions of the several state
leagues, which in turn were to be consti-
tuted of representatives elected by the reg
uidiiS olSdHlZeu TepuDlcdH SiupS iOfiiibS
such state leagues. The first president was
j. P. Foster of New York, and the other
gentlemen who have held this important
position are John NJ. Thurston, now SEN
ator from Nebraska; John S. Clarkson of
Iowa, William w. Tracey of Illinois, E. A.
McAlpin of New York and the incumbent,
d. d. Woodmansee of Ohio. The last con-
vention of the Natiora League was held
at Milwaukee last August. and the next
will be held in Detroit July 13, IA and -
next. AT this convention the plans were
formulated which were followed in the
campaign just closed, and means were
taken to make the 5000 clubs belonging to
the league, and the 2,;G0,0GO members en-
rolled on their rosters form a standing
army of republicans, to fight hard during
the summer and autumn, and present a
united front on election day. In directing
the work President Woodmansee had the
services of an advisory committee appoint
ed by him, under authority conferred by
the league. This committee is composed of
well-known ard influential men, who are
thoroughly familiar with party work.

Story of the Revolt.

For some time past Uruguay has been in
a condition of unrest, bordering on revolu-
ton The government had been requested
to resign or radically reform it's policy and
annul the recent elections, which are class
ever appears to have defied public opinion
and persisted in making obnoxious appoint
ments. Business became depressed and
wholesale emigration to the Argentine Re-
public commenced.
Eventually an invasion of revolutionists
was threatened by way of the Brazilian
frontier, and the president, j. Idiarte Bor-
da, took steps to meet it. The South Amer
lean Indians also assumed a hostility to
the government
The Uruguayan congress met February
Is, and the president assured both houses
had occurred, the government had been
successful in quelling the disturbances, and
they had then lost their effect.
In spite of this assurance, it was an
hounced, late last month formidable bands
of revolutionists crossed the Brazilian
frontier into Unsguay, instigated by the
Plancos, or menberGs of the white party,
Who are hostile TO it31e government. The
first of the rev0futiunary Blancos are be-
lieved to have crossed the. frontier near
Carpinteria, andsthen main body, said to
number about 1900 ,Dlen. was reported to
be preparing to follow the advance guard.
In addition, anotherhforce of about 1900
Blancos was said to be preparing to cross
the frontier from Argentina. Both bodies
of revolutionists,, are. announced to be I'M
der experienced leaders.
The government. all things being favor
able, can muster some 10000 to 1900 men,
half of them being Indifferent recruits, and
many of whom are reported to be desert
ing to meet the revolution, which has now
assumed a more dangerous. aspect.

SILER ON THE BIG FIGHT.
No "Cinch' When the Principals Ar
Each Betting 81, 600 Even,


Each Betting 600 Even.
George Siler the referee of the coming
Corbett-Fitzsimmon fight, has made the
following statement;
Il find among rtmy3 mail every morning
at least half dozen letters from old and
new friends, and from strangers, asking nv
advice as to how~to place their money on
the coming fight II r hey are all on the con-
fdential order, and nine out of every ten
swear by all that' isagodly that they will
never divulge tile sburce of information
l might send them. For the benefit of my
fool friends ] will say have no opinions
to express nor advice to give; that / am
in the dark as TO which of the principals
will win, and if l did know ] certainly
would keep the secret locked up in my
bosom. s.tfs..... 90
There is one thing I wish those who are
seeking better information to understand.
and that Is If I had the winner 'cinched'
l would not officiate as referee, as l could
tten easily get a syndicate of sporting men
to bet enough money on the outcome, and
have my part of the winnings large enough
to keep me on Easy street the remainder of
my life. The best information the betting
public can get is to read all the details of
the training of the men. figure which of the
pair is the most scientific. which they be-
lieve to be the hardest hitter, which can
stand the most punishment, and then use
their Judgment. The principals are betting
5000 each on the result If they, knowing
themselves and their opponents as they do,
are betting that amount at evenS, then it
strikes me the public ought to do its own
guessing and make its own odds. There
is one thing the sports can rely on. and
that is the men will leave no stone un-
turned to win. and that, barring some I'M
foreseen accident, both will be in the best
condition possible to put up the fight of
their lives"
