by the administration on the subject:

rr-~,dents Kep Was Prompt.
In responding to the request for Gen.
eral Lees recall the presluent does not
appear to have deemed the subject open
to such discussion as would require tho
views OF his cabinet associates, and
after brief exchange between the
White House and the state department
the negative answer was dispatched to
Minister Woodlord. One phase of the
incident that tends to snow the firm
stand taken by the ADM nistration is
the expedition with which the action
was accomplished. Such Il matter Or
dinarily Is laid before the cabinet, the
views of all its members personally

afforded for discussion. But in this
case the Associated Press bulletin fur.
1ished to some members of the cabinet

General Lees service was open to ques-
ton. The grounds on which General
Lees recall was asked are not officially
disclosed.
No Reason for Change of Plans.
The suggestion Of the Spanish gov.
ernment that relief supplies should not
be sent in war vessels did not como
through Minister Woodiord, as the
Madrid dispatches state, but was pre-.
sented by Senior du Bose to the state
department last Friday. The re-

tary Long, who in turn called in Cap

reason why q change should be made

Washington. Dec. l. - The Anglo
American commission had expected to
resume the consideration Of the recl-
procity discussion yesterday, but as
the Bering sea question had not been
disposed of the consideration of that
branch of work was continued. While
considerable progress has been made
a final agreement on the sealing Ques-
ton Is not yet assured. Besides the
present valuation Of the Canadian seal
ing fleet, 1t is said that the relinquish-
ment Of the right Of sealing is another
factor which the Canadians consider
quite as important as the value Of the
present fleet. Questions relating to the
great lakes were taken up by special
committee. These include cOntrover-
sizes over the number Of warshipS to
be maintained or built on the great
lakes: fishing regulations, navigations.
wrecking privileges and various Ques.
tiCns arising out of the treaty Of 1917
This branch OF work was partially con.
sidered at Quebec and was taken up
yesterday for the first time since the
commission met here. Sir James Win.
ter, premier Of Newfoundland, who Is
here as a member Of the commission,
said that all reports to the effect that
Newfoundland was acting directly
with the United States and independ
ent Of Canada in the fisheries question
are unwarranted. This statement was
brought out by published reports from
st. Johns, n, F., stating that New
fOundland was about to make her own
treaty with the United States. and this
met with such protest from the Can.
adlan members of the commission that
the entire success Of the work was en-
dangered. Both the Canadian and
Newfoundland members deny that
such condition has arisen and that
there is the fullest cooperation in the
work now going on. In regard to the
report current in London that the Ber-
ing sea question had already been SET
tied, it was stated in an authoritative
quarter that such a settlement had not
been reached. The status Is about the
same as 1t was a week ago, except that
large amount Of expert testimony
has been taken and the two sides are
waiting to shape the utmost cOnceS-
sions which each will grant. Lord
Herschell, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
Senators Fairbanks and Faulkner.
constituting the committee on Ques-
tions relating to the lakes. were in ses-
sion two hours, but the subjects Were
too numerous and important to permit
more than general consideration AT this
first sitting Of the committee since the
commission came here.
