A PLAN TO SAVE THE SEALS.

The Conference at Washington May de-
eide to Prohibit the Killing OF Seals on
the High Seas.
Washington, Oct. 29.-In reliable
quarters it is stated that the confer
ence between Russia, Japan and the
United States, now proceeding here in
reference to sealing in Bering sea and
the north Pacific. has advanced to an
important stage and that a proposition
has been reduced to writing which If
accepted will bring about complete
change in the sealing question. The
proposition is said to be acceptable to
the United States 1t is understood to
be also also acceptable to the Russian
delegates now here, but in view of the
restrictions placed upon them by their
credentials, it has been thought de-
sirable to cable to ST. Petersburg for
final instructions
The Japanese delegates felt at first
that the proposition would not be to
their interest, but on fuller conferences
Mr.. Fujita determined to cable the
substance of the proposition to his
government, accompanying it with a
recommendation of its acceptance.
Little doubt is entertained that Russia
will accept the proposition, and in view
of Mr.. Fujita's recommendation it is
believed that Japan also will join in it.
The greatest secrecy is preserved in
official quarters as to the nature of the
proposition and it is not officially ad.
mitted that any proposition has been
made. From equally reliable sources
it is understood that the proposition
has far-reaching scope and provides
for the material limitation or entire
suspension of pelagic sealing, or seal
ing on the high seas.
Such decisive step, If agreed to by
Russia, Japan and the United States,
would not involve any concerted muve
to menace the claims of England and
Canada to the right of pelagic sealing
on the high seas, but would rather be
a proposition expressive of the conclu-
sions of the three most interested pow.
ers that in the interests of humanity
and the preservation of the seals Of
their respective governments all ma
tions, including Great Britain and
Canada, should unite with Russia,
Japan and the United States in such
effective prevention of sealing on the
high seas as will put an end to it and
thereby secure the preservation of the
seals

A DRAMATIC SCENE.

/
Rev. G. o. Brown Appeals to Court Of
Clergymen to ReInatate Him In the
Mlnistry.
Chicago Oct 29.--In voice shaken
by emotion, with an appeal to the
hearts of his ministerial brethren,
with plea for his wife which made
tears come to her eyes, DR.. Charles o.
Brown yesterday ended his almost des-
perate prayer to his brethren in con-
ference to give him back what they
could of his ministerial standing. The
council in session at the New England
Congregational church thereupon took
a recess and later began in secret ses-
sion to deliberate upon the famous
case of the former San Francisco pas
tor. The members had long aud
heated discussion as to whether DR..
Brown should be reinstated in the min
istry or whether his suspension by the
! Bay conference should be allowed to
stand.
DIR. Brown talked for several hours
1t was his last stand. He had been
driven out Of one church after another
and out of the ministry. He had been
fighting for year and half for his
reputation. At last he had appealed
to the highest tribunal of the church.
His accusers had told their story.
They left him under the ban of suspic-
ion. He arose to make the effort of a
lifetime to keep at least little ground
under his feet For over two hours he
used sarcasm, illustration, apostrophe,
denial, denunciation = every known
form Of argument He arraigned his
accusers bitterly. He questioned their
motives. He attacked their logic. He
questioned their motives. M-n
Twice he pointed his finger at the
three men opposing him before the
conference, accusing them of double
dealing and of unjust suspicious. I'D
rather you'd shot me-" he said, "than
do what you did to me-"
He led up to his peroration by telling
the story of DIR. Barrows' case in Cali
fornia, where similar charges drove
the man accused into maniac's grave.
opCuhCl . NOlCC AAlCu do NC was TC-
lating this narrative.
"After his DEATH" he said, raising
his voice until trang loudly, "when 1t
was too late for reparhtion, the general
association said: It's lie.'"
There was moment of complete 81.
lence. "Now, ,"he resumed impressive
ly, II want you to declare that of me
before 1 am in my grave"
Rev. Brown was victorious in the
finding of the Congregational council,
which had before it the question twas
Bay conference justified in suspending
Rev. Brown" An informal ballot was
taken soon after the council went into
executive session which resulted in l2
votes against sustaining the action OF
the conference and eight in favor.

DELAY FOR LUETGERT.
His Second Trial Is Postponed Until the
Next Term OF Court.

His Second Trial Is Postponed Until the
Next Term OF Court.
Chicago, Oct. Yesterday after
noon Adolph Luetgert appeared before
Judge Chetlain with Attorney Phalen
and had his case continued to the next
term of court on his own motion.
States Attorney Deneen was present.
Previous to the continuance it had
been agreed by counsel that Luetgert's
second trial should begin on November
8. 1t was necessary to have Luetgert
ask for the continuance, as under the
law of Illinois a prisoner held through
four terms of court without a trial is
entitled to his freedom. Luetgert has
been held that length of time, as the
disagreement of the jury counts as no
trial. Unless Luetgert asked for the
continuance States Attorney Deneen
would have brought the case up for
trial at once.

enthusiastic one. Mr. Harrison was

rhe Ex-Attorney General Replies to Criti-
eisms OF the Manner in Which Union
Pacific Foreclosure suits Were Handled.
Cincinnati, Oct. 29.-Judge Judson
Harmon, who was attorney general
under the last administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland, yesterday gave out the
following statement regarding the pro-
posed sale Of the Union Pacific rail.
way:
Among the criticisms OF the Union Pacific
situation 1t is publicly declared by some that
the foreclosure OF the government lien on the
main line and Of that on the Kansas Pacific
line should have been in q single suit and that
possibly loss by breaking up the unity OF the
properties might have been avoided by after
ward consolidating the several suits.
This statement is wholly unfounded. AS the
property Is in seven different states and Judi
,ial districts, o separate suit had to be brought
In each. The disadvantage of this to the gov
srnment was plain from the start According
y, In bill for settlement prepared at there-
quest OF congress by Mr.. olney, he inserted
provision authorizing foreclosure OF all the
government liens In single court II suit
should become necessary. The bill failed and
this provision with II.
subject was again urged upon the attention OF
congress. A general law for all like cases was
recommended. The attorney general followed
his report by preparing bill which was intro
duced by Senators Morgan and Brice on De-
cember 20, l80i It was not passed, although
1t was again recommended
Consequently, when the president directed
foreclosure, provided the too common fate OF
Junior liens could be avoided by guaranty as
he had proposed to do In his message Of De-
cember z, 1895, in case congress should fail to
act the necessity of separate suits could not
be avoided.
The guaranty, secured by large deposit Of
money. assured to the government in cash, on
Its second lien, in the distribution Of the pro-
ceeds Of sale at least the principal all its SUBJ
sidy bonds and more than half the interest, which
ran at 8 per cent. for 30 years and unlike the
principal was not invested in the property, but
went to the bondholders To make this guar
anty good required bid at the sale OF about
5000 per mile for the entire system, or $780,
900 per mile for the part subject to the govern
nlent's lien, including the sinking fund. to the
benefit Of which Of course the company was en-.
titled The arrangement was recommended In
writing by every government director and re-
ceiver.
The suits, which were brought in February,
had to remain separate like those brought to
foreclose the prior mortgages, making q unit
sale Of the entire property possible only by
concurrent action OF the various courts, with
the consent Of all parties The consolidation
of the suits has always been as much out OF
the question as foreclosure by q single suit

New York, Oct. SO.-Henry George is
dead. In the midst of the strife and

specter of death came and touched with
its ruthless hand the leader of one Of

Square hotel Friday morning. Death
is thought to have been due to apo

had just come from several large mass

seemed to have told on him. He COM
planned of being tired. Not long after
