'BEHIN‘G SEA EDISPUTE.

 

England ‘Said to Have Modified Her
Position on the Question.

CASE MAY NOW BE REOPENED

Embassador Hay Brings His Persuasive
Powers to Bear on Lord Salisbury
With Effect—John W. Foster’s
Interview With Mr. Liebes.

London, June 14.—There is reason to
believe that in consequence of the rep-
resentations made by Colonel John

Hay, the United States embassador, to.

the foreign office the attitude .of the
British government with regard to the
reopening of the Bering sea question
has undergone some modification and
that Lord Salisbury is disposed to .dis-
cuss matters now.

John W. Foster, Who is now in .St.
Petersburg, is expected back in London
on July 1. He did not call at the for-
eign office, in the few days he was in
London, but he had conferences with
Colonel Hay, and on the day previous
to his departure he had an interview of
nearly an hour with Mr. Liebes of" the
North American Commercial company,
who had been in communication with
the embassy during Mr. Bayard’s term
of office regarding the false statements
alleged to have been made by Canadian
sealers respecting the sex of their
catch.

Mr. Foster was informed by Mr. Liebes
that his going to Russia and any ar-
Qangements he might make there would
not be binding upon England, as Great
Britain, so far as he could learn, would
do nothing in the matter until the five
years specified by the Paris award had
expired.

\Villing to Sell.

Mr. Liebes then said to Mr. Foster:

“1 will be very willing personally to
pay the Canadians any profits they
have made during the past three years
and will furnish good security for the
amount, provided the governments con-
cerned will satisfy the Canadians in
the way of buying their vessels.”

“Would they be satisfied?” remarked
Mr. Foster.

Mr. Liebes replied:

“I have seen here Leopold Boscowitz,
son of Joseph Boscowitz of Victoria, B.
C., a Canadian sealer having large in-
terests, and he said to me, ‘I assure
you, if we be compensated for our ves—
sels, the question can be settled in ten
minutes.’ ” Mr. Liebes rejoined, “Have
you authority to speak for any one
besides yourself?” to which Mr. Bos-
cowitz said, “All the Canadians will be
very glad to be bought out.”

“I suppose you will expect a large
profit?” said Mr. Liebes, to which re-
ply was made: “No. As the business
has not been very profitable we shall
be glad to get out of it.”

No Seals, No Subsidy.

Mr. Liebes having recounted this to
Mr. Foster, the commissioner replied:

"Even if such a proposal were made
I doubt if the United States congress
would ever vote money for such a pur-
pose.”

Mr. Liebes said in answer:

“I do not think there is'any other
way of settling the matter. On the one
side, we have the ownership of prop-
erty, and the other side has legally
the right to destroy it. Unless the par—
ties interested can be compensated in
some way by receiving part of the prof—
its or by being bought out it cannot
be settled. As far as the North Ameri-
can company is concerned, we do not
care either way, but if we get no seals
we cannot be expected to pay our sub-
sidy to the United States government.”

The Russian agent who has been in
London trying to find out whether there
is any truth in the assertion that a
large percentage of the pelagic skins
lying in London are females found that
about 80 per cent of them were females.
He has been summoned to return to
Russia.

A 11111111 11011 MARK TWAIN.

The New York Herald Starts It With I
Subscription of $1,000;

New York, June 14.—The New York
Herald has started a fund for Mark
Twain, the celebrated American humor-
ist, opening the list with a subscription
of $1, 000. The Herald makes known its
plan in the following words:

Although natural delicacy prevents
Mr. Samuel L. Clemens, who has made
the pseudonym of Mark Twain a house-
hold word, from unveiling his private
affairs to the public, it is well known
that he is at present in sore pecuniary
straits. Therefore The Herald today
opens a subscription for him with the
sum of $1,000. It trusts that many will
be glad to have this opportunity of tes-
tifying to the feelings of esteem, grati—
tude and sympathy which they feel for
him.

There is a peculiar pathos in the situ-
ation which has overtaken the greatest
merrymaker of the day. He who has
lightened the load of life for an entire
generation is himself bowed down by
care. Mark Twain is more than a. mere
jester. His fun is of the superior kind
that is based on truth. He has a hatred
of sham and humbug so keen that it
can only find relief in the uproarious
laughter that helps to clear the air of
cant. He is above all an American, im-
bued with‘the American spirit. He is
a democrat in love mith democracy,
and the gospel which he preaches is one
VVith that which is preached by the
history of the American republic. All
good Americans should therefore lend
him a helping hand, and all readers of
English should wish to make some re-
turn for the many hours of enjoyment
which he has glven them.
