Scaling Conference to Be Held EarIu This AUTUMN

LONDON, July 30-The British for
eign office notified Ambassador Hay
this morning that Great Britain accept
ed the proposition of the United States
for an international conference On the
question of pelagic sealing in the Ber-
ing sea, to be held in Washington dur
ing the coming autumn.
John W. Foster, the United States
special commissioner on the sealing
question, will sail tomorrow by the New
York, from southampton. In the course
of an interview with the correspondent
of the Associated Press, today, Mr..
Foster says: wherever 1 have been,
at st. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris or here
in London, 1 have been received in the
most cordial manner. Whatever may
be the feeling in the United States
about the often repeated antagonism to
our government, displayed by foreign
powers, 1 have seen nothing of it,
Everywhere 1 have had evidence that
the foreign governments wish to meet
any questions raised by the United
States in the spirit of the utmost frank
ness and en-mindedneSS. Perhaps 1t
is needless for me to say that this
is most gratifying to me otnclalIy ana
in my private capacity.
'"The British government has agreed
to accept our proposition for a sealing
conference. I am now returning to
make an immediate report to President
Mckinley I had a long and fairly
candid conference with Mr.. Chamber
lain, and last Sunday 1 passed the day
with Sir Richard Webster, the attor-
ney 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.'
Regarding the annexation of Hawaii,
Mr.. Foster said: "As it could not be ex-
pected that any other foreign power
would be permitted to occupy the ISL
ands owing to their strategic impor-
tance, the proposed annexation will be
acquiesced in by the European govern
ments, although the position which it
would give the United States in the
Pacific would not be welcomed by
nations seeking supremacy in that
quarter Of the world. My personal views
on this question are we'll known in the
United States. Nevertheless it is ex-
tremely gratifying that the necessary
expansion of the United States will not
be the cause of European difficulties,
and is appreciated as the logical out
come of American destiny"

been made. Selling of wool at Boston,
where the speculation has been most
active, is suggestive, amounting to g.

TWIN CITIES GET
SAME AS CHICAGO.
Plans and Bylaws of the Big Organization Which
Is Expected to Prove Beneficial All Around
Revised List of Officers

The vigor with which the jobbers Of
st. Paul and Minneapolis have taken
hold of the merchants excursion busi-
ness bids we'll for the success Of the
movement. This had it's origin in New
York, was taken up in Chicago, and,
when adopted in both those CONNER
cial centers, made it almost necessary
for the Twin City jobbing interests to
take some steps to protect themselves
and at the same time advance the in
terests of that class of merchants with
whom they seek to carry on business.
In both New York and Chicago, when
the matter was first agitated, the job
bers got anything but hearty co-opera-
ton from the railroads In St. Paul
and Minneapolis, if the roads felt the
least lukewarm in their support, it
has not been evident without any un-
due show of energy, although the
wholesalers have been at work for
some weeks, the railroaders held but
one meeting, as far as is known, and
agreed to work with the Twin City
wholesalers in the interest of the two
towns. The formation of what has
been named the Twin City and North
western Merchants association has
been accomplished and with a slight
change or two is as apeared in this
paper yesterday. The list is:
Presdent-E. A. Young, ST. Paul.
Vice President-George Partridge, Mime
apolis.
secretary-W. w. Heffelfnger, Minneapolis.
Treasurer-Joseph McKibbin, St. Paul.
The executive committee, consisting
of five jobbers from each city is made
up as follows: Richards Gordon, D. r.
Noyes, Rudolph Rossum, A. H Lindeke,
and Cyrus Kellogg, st. Paul. and f.
G. Winston, T. B. Janney, T. w. Stew
enson. c. c. Webber and w S. Mott,
of Minneapolis.
According to the opening paragraph
Of the bylaws the general object of
the new association is to advance the
mutual interests of jobbers, manufac-
turers and retail merchants of the
Northwest by bringing the retail trade
| into closer touch with each other and
with the jobbers and manufacturers
| of the Twin Cities for the purpose OF
f! better acquaintance, ipterchangine
| ideas on all matters of general interest
and working in harmony for the promo
| ton of the prosperity of the Northwest
The mem bership of the association
is to consist of two classes, first the
sustaining members consisting of the
jobbers and manufacturers of the two
cities, and next the general members
embracing the travelling statesmen for
Twin City jobbers and manufacturers
and any retail merchant recommended

Gen. and Mrs Alger and Mr.. Porter
drove to the United States military
post. AS they passed the guard house
a guard of twenty men turned out and
saluted the president with the call Of
the bugle, presenting arms The peo-
pie of Plattsburg knew nothing
OF the intention of the president to
visit the village, and he drove through
the streets without demonstration of
any kind. Numbers, however, doffed
their hats and their salutes were re-
turned generally by the president. The
party drove through all the principal
streets, and Mrs. Mckinley was much
revived by the fresh air. Shortly after
noon the Twenty-frst Regiment band
rendered concert at the hotel. The
president and Mrs. Mckinley enjoyed
the music from the veranda.

Mayor Strong late this afternoon an
nounced his acceptance of Col. Grants
resignation, which takes effect at the
close of business tomorrow. Replying
to Col. Grants letter, Mayor Strong
says:
Relating to the particular subject upon
which you dwell as the reasons for YOUR
resignation, l sincerely regret that you have
not found it consistent with your views ami
principles to evince your dissent from 10
position of your associates by the record
of your vote, while continuing to cooperate
with them upon other matters, not connected
with the question upon which you so radically
differ from them. However, your resignation
has evidently been we'll considered and is so
worded as to leave me no other alternative
other than to accept. It is therefore accented.

The British lost one killed and seven
teen wounded, among the latter being
Lieut.. Costello, who was wounded
the second time. He had received a
slight wound during the day attack
on Wednesday. The forces of the
mullah had been augmented by a
strong gathering of the natives on
the hills to the right of the British
position. The theory is that the Bon
erwals have risen. The situation is
now somewhat relieved by the arrival
of reinforcements under Col. Reed
