Now Negotiating by Gable.

1t is understood that Ambassador
Hay was directed to effect such an ar
rangement in case Great Britain de-
clined TO enter the general conference.
But there is now some question whether
the British authorities will participate in
any way until a definite decision is
reached as TO who will take part in the
general conference, as there is under
stood to be a reluctance on the part OF
the British TO join i'm a dual conference.
and some doubt whether the British eX-
perts will leave for this country to at
tend either a general or limited con-
ference until an understanding is reached
on the entire subject AS the confer
ence is so near at hand-the frat plan
having been TO hold it oct. 20 - the
negotiations are necessarily conducted
by cable, and by this means a sats-
factory adjustment may yet be reached.

Washington, Oct .S.-The state de-
partment has received full information
as 70 the position of the British govern
ment on the proposed Behring sea con-
ference. This proves TO be much more
complete than the brief cable reports
from London indicated, as the depart
ment has been advised not only of Great
Britain's declination 10 enter a confer
ence unless il is limited to the experts
of the United States, Great Britain and
Canada, but also has been informed
quite fully as to what led the Marquis
OF Salisbury to this conclusion. The
British view, as laid before the state
department, is that at no stage of the
negotiations has the British govern
ment agreed to a conference except that
between the experts of Great Britain,
Canada and the United States. II is
not questioned that Secretary Sherman
and Ambassador Hay made suggestions
that the conference should be between
"the powers interested" and that some
of the notes from the United States
authorities expressed a desire to have
Russia and Japan take part in the con-
ference.
Never Accepted by England.
But il is pointed out that these sug-
gestions came from the United States
and until accepted could have no effect
in determining the nature of the con-
ference So far as the suggestions were
accepted the note of Lord Salisbury of
July % is said to stand alone, and this
note, il is ated. mentioned only a con-
ference between the experts ofthe Unit
ed States. s4vr. - tain and Canada.
