CORRESPONDENCE MADE PUBLIC.
Preparing for the Coming Senlinx

The State Department has made public
negotiations comprised in two letters, July
y and 70. from Lord Salisbury and Ambas-
sador Hay. respectively. In Lord Salisbu-
rvs note is the definition from the British
standpoint Of the exact scope of the con-
ference in this language:
Il have to state that her majesty's gov
eminent are willing to agree to a meeting
of experts nominated by Great Britain and
Canada and by the United States in Oc-
tober next. when the further Investigations
to be mace on the islands during the pres
ent season will have been completed
The object OF the meeting would be to
arrive, If possible, at the correct conclu-
sicns respecting the numbers. conditions
and habits OF the seals freQuenting the
fIibyiow Islands at The present time, as
compared with the several seasons previous
and subsequent to the Paris award
1T seems to her majesty's government
that Washington would be the most suita-
BILE place for such meeting"
Ambassador Hay in his reply, which is
very short, and is mainly repetition of
Lord Sahsbury's language. calls attention
to one important point that may have been
overlooked by the British side or else was
ignored purposely. namely, that the con-
ference Is to be international in one sense.
and Is not to be confined entirely to repre-
sentatfves Of the United States and of
Great Britain. On this point his letter.
which closes the correspondence up to this
time. says:
ut may not be out Of place for me to re-
call to your lordship that. as I have al
ready had occasion to mention, the Presi-
dent expects the governments of Russia
and Japan. powers Interested in the preser-
walton OF the seal herds of Bering sea, to

A letter from Crater Lake, Alaska, dated
September 2. says: A Thousand men toiIed
all of yesterday in a binding storm of
snow and sleet on the summit of Chilkoot
Pass. The blizzard lasted from daylight
until dark. H. c. Willard of Butte, Mont,
fell from the rocks at point half way be-
tween the summit and Crater Lake and
fractured a bone In his left forearm
An Indian chief at Dyea told me a few
days ego that Chilkoot pass would prob
ably be blockaded by snow about Septem-
Der q. He said that miners fortunate
enough to have their supplies across the
summit before that time can reach Daw-
son. The rivers, he claimed will keen
open until late In November. although the
lakes will probably be frozen in six weeks.
Ten days ago the Indians charged ~
cents a pound for packing from Dyea to
Lake Linderman. The rate is now 40 cents.
When the next steamer arrives il will
probably Jump to so or GO cents.

In the case of Dutch sugars the depa RI
