DEFEATED THE TREATY.
England's Refusal to Take Steps 1
Save the Seals.

Although the defeat Of the Anglo-Ameri-
can arbitration treaty is ascribed by some
to the efforts against it Of Michael Davitt
exMinister Patrick Egan and other promi-
rent Irishmen, and by others to Englands S
attitude toward silver, 1t is believed that the
votes In the negative might have been over
come but for Great Britain's refusal to
take action to protect the seals. 1t was
held that Great Britain had failed to carry
out the spirit and intent of the award of
the Paris tribunal that settled the Bering
sea controversy. 1t was, therefore, de-
clared that she could not be depended upon
to carry out the terms of q general arbi-
t-ation treaty.
Shortly after President Mckinley entered
upon his duties as chief executive, he took
up the matter of preservation of the seals
and appointed Mr.. John w. Foster, ex-Sec-
retary OF State, and Mr.. Hdmlin of Massa-
chusetts, formerly assistant secretary of
the treasury, to look after the interests of
this country in the seals. Mr.. Foster pro-
posed conference of representatives of
Great Britain, Russian, Japan and the
United States, to formulate seal regula-
tions. 1t was recommended that in the
meantime sealing be prohibited by those
nations Great Britain refused this rropo-
sition. and 1t is believed that this refusal
doomed the arbitration treaty to defeat,
A number of senators were uncertain as to
how they should vote, and this decided
them.
Ex-Secretary Foster will sail for England
on TIE 18th as a special ambassador to Law
the II after personally before the English
government and to make another effort to
save the seals from destruction. He is in
structed to negotiate an agreement under
which sealing shall be stopped until the
four nations interested shall agree upon a
ccde of regulations. Mr.. Foster had in
tended to sail on the 18th, but changed his
mind on the request of Chang Yen Huan.
who had telegraphed that he was to sail
on the 18th for England, where he goes to
take the greetings of the emperor to Queen
Victoria ON the occasion of the diamond
jubilee.
Mr.. Foster was in conference with the
Senate committee on foreign relations for
two hours today, during which time he
went over the situation quite Thoroughly.
putting the committee in possession OF ali
the information in his possession, and adj
vising them Of his plans. No details of the
conference were made public, but 1t is
known that the conference was based upon
Great Britain's refusal to entersinto any
agreement for the future protection of the
seals, and that Mr.. Foster indicated his
purpose to enter into negotiations with
Russia and Japan looking TO the accom-
pi1shment of this purpose.
The committee took no formal action.
but there was general expression of an
proval of the plan to deal with Russia and
japan.
