LONDON, Sept. 25.-A decided sensa-
ton has been caused in diplomatic cir
cles by Great Britain's notification to
the United States that she cannot par
ticipa.e in the sealing conference at
Washington If Russia and Japan take
part The officials Of the British Foreign
Office decline to give reason for the
change in policy. but it is admitted that
Marquis Salisbury had notified United
States Ambassador John Hay Of his de-
cision in the matter, though the Pre-
mier's decision is not absolute. The Mar
quis of Salisbury's action is all the more
surprising in view of the fact that he
accepted for Great Britain an invitation
to take part in the conference with the
full knowledge that Russia and Japan
were included in the invitation. It is
known that the Canadian government
requested the withdrawal of Great Brit
ian from the sealing conference and the
government unwillingly acceded to this
request, in accordance with the policy
Of the cultivation Of friendship of the
colonies even at the risk Of offending
other powers.
1t is thought in diplomatic circles that
Canada's action in the premises was in
nuenced by a fear that Great Britain
would be out-voted by the United, States,
Russia and Japan, whose views regard
ing the protection of the seals coincide.
DELAY LIKELY
CHICAGO, Sept. 25-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says that
in answer to Great Britain, who has de-
clined to be party to the proposed Be
ring Sea conference if Japan and, Russia
are participants, after agreeing to It, the
delegations of the United States, Russia
and Japan will probably proceed without
regard to whether Lord Salisbury
changes his mind or not. The notifica-
ton Of England's change Of attitude was
received at the State Department today.
The conference will probably be de-
layedI in consequence.

Won Ho11ENBEN
Especially Available Because He
Understands English

WASHINGTON Sept. 25-The new
German ambassador, DR.. Won Hollenben,
will arrive here the latter part Of next
month and will be received by the
president soon after the latter's return
for the winter. Recent letters from the
United States embassy at Berlin speak
in the highest terms of the new ambas-
sador. Emperor William said he had
been moved to make the selection owing
to DR.. Hollenben's knowledge of the
English language, which the emperor
regarded would be material advantage
at this time.
The authorities here have received no
overtures thus far from Germany on
the subject of a reciprocity treaty under
the new tariff law and 1t is believed that
such steps as are taken in that lire will
be through Ambassador White al Ber-
lin. 1t is regarded as favorable cir
cumstance that our ambassador is an
accomplished German scholar and that
the emperor in turn has selected an
accomplished English scholar to repre-
sent Germany here.

RELATION BY TREATY
BETWEEN CHILE
AND JAPAN
Japanese Action Calls Attention to
the Need Of Revision Of United
States Treaties

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-An inter-
esting ceremony occurred at the Chilean
legation at 3 o'clock this afternoon, when
for the first time the treaty relations
were established between Chile and
Japan. Minister Cana Of Chile had been
delegated as the plepipotentiary in be-
half Of his country. and Minister Hosfi
of Japan for that country. The officials
of the two legations were present and
after the instrument had been executed
there was an exchange Of felicitations.
The treaty was signed in six duplicates.
two in Spanish, two In Japanese and two
In English. It Is an extensive document,
providing for peace, amity and COM
merce, and covering the entire range of
relations between the countries. as It is
the first and only treaty between them.
It differs from the new treaty Of Japan
with the United States and with other
foreign nations, as the latter took up old
treaties, while this inaugurates rela-
tions between the two countries.
With the conclusion of this treaty ia
pan has extended her modern system of
treaties to the United States, Mexico.
Peru, Brazil and Chile, and Is negotiat-
Ing toward treaties with the other lead
ing nations. She has also made treaties
with Great Britain, Germany, France,
Russia and other leading European na-
tions. The treaties are to go into effect
in 1899, at which time, by this compre-
hensive arrangement Of her treaties.
the relations Of Japan with the rest Of
the world, will be placed on more uni
form basis. The action Of Japan has at
tracted the favorable attention of other
countries, including the authorities
here, who feel that such modern and
uniform treaties would be Of advantage
to the United States. some OF our treaties
being hundred years old and In many
respects obsolete. This is true particu-
larly of the treaty between the United
States and Spain, most Of which relates
to the then Spanish possessions of Flor
