Considerable attention is being given in
the East to the remarkable increase of ex-

Galveston shows an increase OF 66 per
cent, New Orleans p, Mobile 46, Charles

The increase is derived from trade that in
former years would have gone to North

are regarded as an evidence that the new

ing of commerce and New York will have
to fight hard to hold her old place of con

QUESTION OF DIGNITY
SETTLED TO THE SATISFACTION
OF ENGLAND
IF the Sealing Question Is as Easily
Disposed Of Everybody Will
Be Thankful

NEW YORK. Oct. 1e.-A special to the
Tribune from London says: One of the
two diplomatic questions between the
United States and Great Britain has

dignity relating to the Ber!ng Sea con-
have expert testimony collected on each
side submitted for careful comparison
and deliberate consideration. but he was
particular about having a select audi
ence. He did not wish, or, to speak more
accurately. Canada did not wish to have
Russia and Japan represented in the
conference. The State Department, not
caring to make too much Of point of
diplomatic etiquette. has suggested a
practical way out Of the dilemma. This
is to have two conferences, one dealing
with the broad aspect Of the sealing
questions and the preservation of the
herd and the other with the narrower
application of it to the regula tions I'M
der the Paris award Lord Salisbury
has promptly accepted this solution
After readiCg the telegraphic summary
partment by the British embassy at
Washington, he has or0ered Professor
Thompson and the Canadian expert to
attend the second or supplemental
conference at Washington. at which
only the United States, England and
Canada will be represented.
This decision which has been. reache d
by the Foreign Office will enable the ex-
perts on each side to compare the results
of their Investigations. The main con-
ference ON the sealing .questton will be
held simultaneously, but England and
Canada will not be represented in it, be-
cause they decline, through sensitive
ness on the point of dignity, to admit
that Russia and Japan have iafy inter-
est in the matter. All the scien tif1c facts
will be brought out either in one con-
ference or the other, and all the mari
time powers interested in the preserva-
tion Of the seal herd will know speedily
what ought to be done another year.
The other diplomatic question, which
will be speedily settled, is the bimetallic
proposals Of the United States and
France.

Then the gang swore they would kill
Shaw and in self-defense the latter
abandoned his ranch and has since de-
