= A Settlement Of the Question Still
in Doubt.
Will Gene Before The Canadian Cabinet at
Its Next Meeting.
British Ministers Willing to Set
tie the Matter in Favor OF the
United States Contention, Pro-
vided This Government Pays an
Indemnity to the Sealers.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA dispatch to
the Press" from ottawa says:
Next Thursday a series of Cabinet
councils will begin here, at which the
work so far done at the Quebec Inter
national Conference will be reviewed
and decisions taken on the issues de-
yeloped
The statement made some time ago
that the British Ministers would go into
the conference prepared to settle the
pelagic sealing question in favor of the
United States contention, conditioned
on a fair indemnity being paid to the
sealers, has been officially confirmed. 1t
remains with the American Commits
sioners to decide whether the surrender
of Canadas rights, under the treaty OF
Paris of 1893, to pelagic sealing is
worth the amount at which the cession
is valued-S144, 900. 1t has to be rec
ognized that, so far as the Govern
ment of Canada is concerned, there is
no choice in the matter of compensa-
ton.
AS previously stated, there are fifty
five sealers engaged in the trade with
a tonnage of 3,112, representing so
much actual capital invested and pro-
portionate revenue. the number of per-
sons depending directly or indirectly
upon the trade being fully 10000. If
the United States Commissioners re-
fuse to admit the claim and amount OF
compensation, there is an end of the
matter, and pelagic sealing must go on
to the end unless Canada or Great
Britain compensates the sealerS them
selves. In view of the possibility of
the United States declining to pay for
the surrender of the sealers' rights,

Of Cuba can be as easily controlled,
either as a friendly ally and neighbor,
or to become a part of our country, as
the people Of Porto Rico.
General Miles remained in Porto Rico
as long as he deemed his presence nee
essary for carrying out the wishes Of
the President, and now returns to the
United States, bringing with him nearly
5000 men who are no longer required,
there being some 1900 remaining, an
army sufficient for all purposes. He
returns at once to Washington, where
he believes he can be most useful, as
he considers the most important need
of the hour now to be the reduction of
war expenses. and the return of as large
aportion of those in the military service
as possible to their former occupations
where they are most needed.

YOUNG TOUGHS.
A Lively Chase After a Pickpocket
Last Night.

Chief Of Police Dwyer and Officers
Fisher and Maley last night arrested
Harvey Chinn, George Woods and Joe
Murphy, who are the kind of lads for
whom the city has no use. They will
probably be charged with vagrancy.
The fourth member of the gang was
the one the police really wanted, but
he proved to be a swift Splinter and
escaped. He was only about 16 years
of age, and while standing at Fifth
and K streets Chief Dwyer saw him
put his hand into a mans pocket. The
Chief started for him and he gave leg
bail, running down K to Fourth,
through Fourth to j, and down j.
When near Fourth and ] Chief
Dwyer, finding that he could not over
take the f1eetfooted pickpocket, fired
his revolver in the air. hoping to stop
him. The young fellow ran the faster,
however and though Officer Bailey
joined in the chase he made good his
escape.

GEN. MILES ON
AMERICAN SHORES.
(Continued from First Page.)

Not only this, he offered to surrender
the balance of his command, which
had not been under fire during the
campaign. The remarkable offer was
on his own motion, and was in the
nature of a surprise to the American
Generals present However, at the
conference of the day previous, Gen
eral Miles had reminded him that he
should be rendered the most liberal
terms ever offered to an enemy; that
his fleet was destroyed, and they were
5000 miles from home.
Toraps offer could be accounted for
in one of two ways-either that the
troops were wanted at home to meet
a threatened revolution, or that they
wanted to get home, and regarded this
as the only means of doing so at the
expense of the United States.
Whether Blanco and the rest of the
Spanish forces in Cuba would have sur
rendered on the same terms is not now
and perhaps may never be known.
The place of landing the Porto Rican
expedition had been SO thoroughly ad-
vertised in communications sent over
the French cable and in the newspa-
grams to Madrid and from there to
San Juan, that not having received the
necessary appliances with which to dis
embark, General Miles decided, after
leaving the Windward Passage, to
change his course and land on the
south side of Porto Rico, where the
SpaniardS We're the least prepared and
the least expected to receive him, and
10 r. l. :. 1 al
ton of the troops and supplies could
be most easily effected.
From the time of the Decentralization
during the following nineteen days Of
the campaign he kept the Spaniards
guessing what the next move would
be. When they withdrew along the
line of the great military road between
Ponce and San Juan they destroyed
the bridges, INSTRUCTED the roads and
fortified strong positions in the mount
ain passage, and then We're surprised
that one column of his army was
sweeping around the west end of the
island capturing the principal cities
and towns, while another had passed
over the mountains, over the trail
which the Spaniards had supposed i'm
passable, and therefore had not forth
fed or guarded, and the first they
knew of the march of the American
army was the appearance of a strong
brigade within twenty miles of the
northern coast at the terminus Of the
railroad connecting San Juan and
Arciebo.
The island of Porto Rico was fairly
won by the right of conquest, and has
became part of the United States.
The sentiment of the people was in
no sense outraged by the invaders, but
on the contrary was successfully pro-
pitiated. people who have endured
the severity of Spanish rule for four
centuries hail with joy the protection
of the great Republic. One of the
richest sections of the country over
which our flag now floats has been
added, and will be of lasting value to
our nation, politically, commercially,
and from a military or strategic point
of view.
Possession Of that island has also
rendered any further resistance from
the Spanish forces in Cuba hopeless,
and General Miles firmly believes that
by fair and just treatment the people
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1898-09-08

the above alternative has now to be
fully considered by the British ana
Canadian Commissioners.
It is violating no secret to say that II
is generally understood that alterna-
tive was prospectively submitted to
Downing street as a likely contingency
some time before the conference be-
gan, and that Great Britain showed
no disposition to pay the sealerS the
sum demanded or anything at ALL Pub
lie opinion, which in Canada would be
highly sensitive to concessions under
pressure exercised by a sovereign Pow
er fully conscious of superior material
advantages, will not consent to the
sealers being paid out of the public
chest for the surrender of an undoubt-
ed right without some sort of set-off.
The only possible solution, if the
United States Commissioners should
definitely refuse to buy out these vested
rights, would be such concessions to
Canada in other directions as Canada
might be able to accept as of equal
value to money payment of the amount
demanded. 1t is doubtful if Canada un-
dertook to furnish the money to pay off
the sealers in consideration of COM
States in other matters, whether a set
tlement could be effected for any
smaller sum than above stated. This
is one of the ticklish points on which
Ministers will have to make up their
minds definitely on next Thursday.
Another point on which some ap-
proach has been made by the Commits
sioners to an understanding of the pos
cih inc- Of fba CIT md of nn0
another's views is reciprocity At the
opening the attempt to feel the way
must have been something like cropping
for an object in the dark; but the road
has been to great extent cleared and
the representatives of all three coun-
tries begin to see glimpses of practical
bic solutions. Canada must abandon
the hope of any concessions from the
United States which are not shown by
overwhelming proof to be fully bal
anced by compensatory concessions
from Canada to the great Republic.
If Canada expects to improve her
trade with the United States in any Of
the leading products of the Dominion it
is realized now that she will have to Of

A CRICKET MATCH.
Contest Between Anderson and In
dianapOlis Yesterday.

A small crowd witnessed a cricket game
played by real Englishmen yesterday and
though the Indianapolis team lost the men,
bers enjoyed the sport greatly. 1t had been
advertised that a game would be played
on Washington street, near the corner Of
Harding, and many people may have gone
to this place and failed to locate the spot
where the game was pulled off. The old
cricket grounds almost half mile from the
appointed corner was used. 1t is a COM
mons about two hundred yards south of the
Union tracks and just east of Harding ave-
nue.. Two awnings had been raised to add
to the comfort of the spectators and the
players when they were not in the field. Re-
freshmentS were also served.
The indianapolis and Anderson cricket
teams were matched against each other and
with but single exception the participants
were native-born Englishmen. And 1t was
the genuine Englishmen of the city who
formed the larger part of the onlookers. 1t
was close match from start to finish and
until the last half of the last inning it APP
peared as though the local players would
win, but at the wind-up the Anderson boys

had four wickets standing. and only quit
