WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The Brit
ish, Canadian and American delegates
to the Bering sea meeting had conf
IDENTIFY expected to bring their labOrs
to q close today, but after two arduous
sessions, lasting until $50 o'clock this
evening, the experts had not been able
to reconcile all their differences. 1t
was determined, therefore, to continue
the meeting tomorrow. Up to the time
of closing today the experts had made
good progress, reaching an agreement
on all but three or four reserved propo-
sitions. These, it is expected, can be
agreed upon during the morning ses-
sion tomorrow, so that the expert re-
port can be signed and the meeting
concluded so far as the experts are
concerned. This will make available
all the data necessary for considering
the vital diplomatic question of stop
ping pelagic sealing. The intention is
that Gen Foster, Sir Wilfrid Laurier
and Sir Louis Davies will meet tomor-
row afternoon to go over the results re-
ported by the experts and, if possible,
agree upon a basis of settlement.
The outcome of this diplomatic meet
ing continues to be much in doubt. 1t
was intimated tonight that the Ca
nadians might make counter propo-
sition, not going as far as the Ameri-
can representatives desire in the way
of limiting pelagic sealing, but yet Of
fering a possible ground for amicable
adjustment Equally reliable sources
stated that, if the issue assumed the

''The mob who lynched the Indians at
Wflliamsport hung an innocent
man, and 1 have ample document
ary evidence of that fact" Such were
the words of Chief Justice Corliss to-
night. In an interview the chief JUS
tice continued substantially as follows:
"Coudot, in whose case new trial was
recently ordered by the state supreme
court, was convicted on the unsupport-
ed evidence Of two others, who were
confessed murderers, and in the face
of the strongest kind of an alibi by
DR.. Ross, agency physician OF Standing
Rock, whose positive statement that
Coudot was at home and acted as in
terpreter for him at the very time of
the murder is sustained by the doctors
memorandum book, in which a note
was made at the time of his visit. The
doctors veracity is unquestioned. A
further fact is that the two self-con-
fessed murderers above referred to
Phillip Ireland and Paul Holy Track.
had made two previous confessions, in
neither of which did they implicate
Coudot. The lynching of the two con-
fessed murderers may not be so repre-
hensible, but there is no question what
ever but they would have hung for
their crime had the law been allowed
to take it's course. But the lynching

differences. In view of the continu-

that negotiations shall be opened for
suspension of sealing beyond this term
of one year.
