ENGLAND GROWS HUFFY.
Will Not Go in a Sealing Conference
With Japan or Russia.

London, Oct. THE officials of the
British house have communicated to
the United States Ambassador Col.
John Hay the final decision of that
government, that Great Britain must
refuse to take part in any sealing CON
ference with representatives of Russia
and Japan.
The British government. however. as
SertS its Willingness to confer with the
United States alone, but it insists that
Russia and Japan are not interested in
the Behring sea seals to a degree en-
titliug them to a representation at the
conference. The British government
does not suggest any date for confer
ence with the United States and it is
thought probable in London that Great
BTitain'S Withdra wal will result in two
meetings. one between the United
States, Russia and Japan and the other
between the United States Great Brit
ain and Canada.
1t cannot be too strongly reiterated
that the withdrawal of Great Britain
from the Washington conference is due
to Canada's insistance and that until
the Canadian officials informed the for
elgn office here of Canada'S objections
to meeting Russia and japan out of
fear of being out voted Great Britain
intended to enter the conference with
the three other governments. But for
Hays representations the first an
nOuncement of Great Britafn's unwiI-
lIngneSS to take part in the conference
would have been final, but the United
states ambassador so plainly pointed
out the unusual character of Great
Britain's change of mind at so late
date that some of the foreign office
officials decided to reopen the question
and have been endeavOrlng, but unsuc-
ceSStully to secure Canada'S acOuieS-
ence. Sir Julian Pauncefote. the Brit
iSh ambassador to the United States
also used his influence in a spirit of
frlendlness to the United States, in eff
forts to secure the adherence of Great
Britain to the original DrOarra r1r1e

Robert Fitzsimmons Tells Why He
Will Never Again Enter the
Prize Ring.

Boston, Oct. THE last ball game of
the season here, and the third of the
Temple cup series, was as dull and unin-
teresting a contest as had been seen here
for many day. The Baltmores won with
ridiculous ease, and closed their engage
ment here by practically eNhausting the
pitching talent of the Boston nine.
In the three games all four of the new
champions crack twirlers have taken
their turn in receiving the severest kind
of pounding, and for the third successive
game the home team were obliged to
make a change before the game was
over. A slight shower, however, came
up just as the Bostons were ending their
half and the game was called, the score
reverting to the seventh inning, cutting
off four runs and five hits for the visitors.

Senator Lodge Regards Hawaiian An
nexation as q Certainty.

New York, Oct. IA dispatch from
Boston to the Herald says:
Il look upon the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands as practically accomplish
ed said Senator Lodge. The treaty
will be taken up at once when congress
assemblies in December and I think that
there is an easy majority in the senate
in favor of its ratification If it should
appear probable that an opposition is de-
veloping sufficient to defeat ratification,
the remedy will be very simple. There
is a joint resolution of annexation of the
islands on the calendar which does not
require a two-thirds majority, as is the
case in a vote for ratification of a
treaty. A simple majority in both houses
will accomplish the same result, and that
majority We have easily If it appears
probable that ratification may fail, We
shall simply slip in the resolution and
act upon that in place of the treaty"

fence was a long distance from the edge
of the lake, there being highway be-

way is gone, so that teams can no longer
pass, while the waves have washed in
nearly to the fence, and threaten to un-
