FOSTER ACTS AS ADVISER
All Negotiations Regarding Sealing Ques-
tions Conducted by Mr. Hay.
Prospects Good for an Early Agree
ment for an International Con-
ference on the Subject.

LONDON. July 24.-The negotiat tions for
an irterna tional conference as to sealing in
the Bering sea are proceeding smoothly,
| and the prospects are favorable for an early
agreement between the two governments of
England and the United, States.
Ambassador Hay had long and satisfac-
tory interview Yesterday with Mr.. Cham
berlain, secretary of state for the colonies,
and afterward met Lord Salisbury. Later
in the day he sent several code dispatches
to Secretary Sherman.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: I'VE are
given to understand that Mr.. Foster Is not
conducting the negotiations with Great
Britain in the Bering controversy his
position being defined by his own side as
that of adviser on technical questions.
I'VE are asked to state tina: all negotia-
tions with Lord Salisbury or this subject
are conducted by Ambassador Hay. 1t
would seem unnecessary to most people
tfat this should have to be officially stated
but there are reasons why the actual posi-
tlon should be properly described.
1T may be said on very good ground that
the United States government is anxious in
TINS, as IN other matters, to adhere to the
usases OF diplomatic courtesy, and the ne
sotiatlcnS in this country have been con-
Quoted in the most friendly manner"

from mining in the Klondyke region. 1t
has always been customary for the
citizens Of one country to go into the
others territory to placer mine, except, of
course, where property claims are taken
out, and in such cases citizenship Is ne
cessity. But should American citizens be
disseminated against in the Klondyke
country retaliation would, of course, be

1t was explained at the department that
while in England, under the civil law, the
crown claimed the ownership of all pre-
cious metals on English soil, the exercise
of this sovereign right applied only 20
Great Britain, the colonies being permitted
t. regulate such matters in their own in
tere5ts. While many countries put an eX-
port duty on gold mined in their territories,
England had no such policy; consequently
1t would hardly be applied to the gold taken
from the Klondyke fields.
1t was held generally that inasmuch as
all foreigners. including the British. were
granted equal rights with Americans in
working the gold mines of Alaska, it was
hardly probable that Americans would be
Disseminated against in the Klondyke re-
gion, which is only a small section Of the

TIME OF OPERATION
When Will the Tariff Law Go Into
Effect?
QUESTION At THE TREASURY
Senator AIdrich and Representative
DingIey Confer.


The question of the day and hour when
the new tariff law will go into operation,
II signed by the President before II o'clock
tonight. has been raised at the Treasury
DEPARTMENT Information has been re
eeIved that a vessel laden with sugar has
been sighted off the capes, and probably
will enter the harbor at Philadelphia dur
Ing the afternoon. Another vessel with a
cargo of wool is in Boston harbor, and
other vessels similarly laden are expected
10 arrive during the day.
Hitherto the customs offices on the At
lantic coast have been practically closed al
noon Saturday, nearly all of the employees
being permitted to leave. Secretary Gage,
however, decided to keep the offices open
today until 4 o'clock, the usual hour for
closing on other week days, and Assistant
Secretary Howell sent the following tele-
gram to the collectors: department in
structions to you on June 3, 1890, regarding
hour of closing on Saturdays were as fol-
lows:
Such deputies, clerks and ether en-
ployes as are necessary to transact such
current business as may arrive before the
usual closing hour of each working day,
must remain at their posts for that pur-
pose YoI will follow the above instruc-
items at the present time
These lns tructiOnS. however, do not al
feet the question of the time the tariff
act goes into operation. The question is d
new enc SO far tariff acts are concerned
and consequently never has been directly
passed upon by the courts. The Mckinley
tariff act went into effect by its own terms
October q, five days after ii received the
Presidents signature. The Wilson bill be
came a law at II o'clock midnight August
-, 1891. by reason of the lapse of the ten
days allowed the President by the Consti
tuition for the consideration OF hills passed
ty Congress.
senator A!drich and Representative Ding
ley. chairman 2f the ways and means
committee had a nSultation today aiRuj
the question cf when the tariff bill. if
signed this afternoon. would become a
E-W. The enagting clause provides that
the bill shall go INTO effect on and after
Il nded that the bill. if signed today, will
have gone into effect at midnight last
night. as the law does not recognize part
of a day ON the other hand il is con-
tented that the law cannot 90 into effect
until the time the President signs it,
There said TO be conflicting decisions
on this point in the 91th and l:.ith L. S.
On account of this question the ad-
HlnI>tratiOn of the law il is possible that
a joint resolution may be passed giving the
construction which Congress places on the
law.
The matter has been duly considered by
the treasury officials and it is very prob
able that they will hold that the new act
went into effect at II O'Clock last night
The department, however, has ten days
before final liquidation in which to deter
mine the question and no action is likely TO
be taken before the last of next week At
the earliest

Many Callers Failed to See the Presi-

He Has Shut Down on Consular Sclec-

The number of callers at the White

being aware that the President will prob
ably leave the city the middle of next
week OF course, all were anxious for
final word as to themselves or frien is.
Some succeeded in getting valuable inter-
views, but at 1 o'clock there were many
in waiting who heard with disappointment
the announcement Of the doorkeepers that
1.-The President will receive no more VS.
itors.'
In the matter of consular places the
President again told visitors that, with tie
exception of few cases, which have been
decided upon. no appointments will be
made until some time in September.
This was decided upon some time ago,
and has been adhered to from the first.
1t is of no consolation to even those who
have received more or less positive assur-
ances that they will be made happy at
some time. 1t entails upon all the candi-
dates who are sticking to the race another
long wait in the city.
Some of the Callers.
Senator Mason was one of the early call
ers. He talked with the President about
the position of Illinois men who are appii-
cants for conSulships and other places
The President said that he would not make
any further appointments of Illinois men

thought ii would be some time i'm Septem-

steamer leaving San Francisco on the 10th

cluding the negotiations for the treaty of

guns must be made in the United States.

Mails on Omaha Road

OMAHA, Neb., July 2i.-Assistant United
States Attorney Rush and United States
commissioner Anderson have returned
from Tekamah, with their force of deputy
marshals and twenty-one tramps, arrested
for obstructfng the passage of the United

charge, but wes released on bail. The
tramps had taken control of the trains
and blocked mail train and two freight
trains.
When the officers tried to arrest them
Gillis advised the hobos to resist. This
they did, and in the fight that followed
some severe bruises were given. The
Omaha road is again open for business.
