The affair grew out of th e arrest a few weeks ago of a G erm an named Linders. T he G erm ans say th a t a dozen policemen entered L in d er’s house and arrested one of his servants. Mr. L inders w ent to th e cen tral police headquarters to com plain against th is action of th e police, b u t was him self arrested, charged w ith assaulting and atte m p tin g to m urder police officers in the execution of th eir duty. Linders was condemned to pay a fine of $400 and to undergo one m o n th ’s im prison­ m ent, and w as taken to jail. C laim ­ ing he was innocent, L inders demanded and obtained a second tria l, and was condemned to pay. a tine of $500, and was sentenced to one y ear’s im prison­ m ent. The G erm an m in ister tele­ graphed to B erlin for instructions and giving d etails of the case. On October 17, the G erm an m in ister w ent to the president of H ayti and dem anded, in the name of the G erm an em peror, th at L inders be set at liberty, and also de­ m anded for every day lie spent in prison, 23 in all, an indem nity of $1,000 in gold, adding th a t for every day L inders was kept a prisoner after th a t notification lie (th e G erm an m in­ ister) would demand an indem nity of $5,000 in gold. A t first, th e H ay tian president re­ fused to g ran t the G erm an m in iste r’s dem and, and Mr. Linders rem ained six days longer in prison. T his caused the G erm an m inister to notify th e H aytian governm ent th a t as L inders had not been freed, lie had hauled down his flag and had sent th e archives of the G erm an legation to th e legation of the U nited States, th u s breaking off all re­ lations w ith the H aytian governm ent.

WHAT WILL ENGLAND DO NOW K uaala, J a p a n a n d t h e U n ite d State« B e l ie v e a M ean« lla a B e e n F o u n d to Treaerve th e H e rd .. W ashington, Nov. 1.— In reliable quarters it is stated th a t the conference between Russia, Japan and the U nited States, now proceeding here in refer­ ence to settling in tlie B ehring sea and the N orth Pacific, lias advanced to an im portant stage, and th a t a proposition has been reduced to w riting, w hich, if accepted, w ill bring about a complete change iu tlie sealing question. The proposition is said to be aoceptable to the U nited States. It is understood to be aoceptable sim ilarly to the Russian delegates now here, but, in view of tlie restrictions placed upon them by th eir credentials, it lias been thought desir­ able to cable St. Petersburg for final in ­ structions. Tlie greatest secrecy is preserved in all official quarters as to tlie nature of th e proposition, and it is not officially adm itted th a t any proposition has been made. From equally reliable sources, it is understood th a t tlie proposition has a far reaching scope, and provides for th e m aterial lim itation or entire suspension of pelagic sealing on tlie high seas. Suoli a decisive step, if agreed to by Russia, Ja p in and tlie U nited States, would not, it is under­ stood, involve a concerted move to menace tlie claim s of G reat B ritain and Canada to tlie right to pelagic sealing on the high srns, but would rattier lie a proposition expressive of the conclu­ sions oi the three most interested pow­ ers that, in tiio interests of hum anity and the preservation of the seal herds of their respective governm ents, all na­ tions, including G reat B ritain and tier colony, Canada, shonld u n ite w ith Russia, tlie United States and Japan in such effective prevention of pelagic sealing on tlie higli seas as will put an end to it, and thereby secure tlie pre­ servation of the seals. The deliberations of tho conference lending up to tho proposition were productive of numerous interesting and im portant features. B ut little had been known of tho Russian regulations u n til the confer­ ence m et. U nder them a neutral zone of 35 miles wus established surrounding tlie Russian islands, w ithin whioh G reat B ritain agreed to suspend pelagic sealing. W hile tiiis was of m aterial advantage to Russia, yet it was felt th a t any proposition for the entire sus­ pension of pelagic sealing, even, be­ yond 35 miles, would have to be recon­ ciled witli the modus v iv e n ii. I* was felt th a t th is could lie done, as tho modus was not a continuing agreem ent, bnt was from year to year depending for its existence on tlie annual readop­ tion by tlie B ritish parliam ent. Owing to Ja p a n 's view of the sub­ ject tlie opinion of the seal experts was laid before tiio Japanese delegates. Tiiis opinion was ui the effect th at, while tlie Japanese seal possessions were little or notiiing a t the present tim e, yet that by adequate protection of tlie seals, her decim ated rookeries would tie restored and a large seal prop­ erty b u ilt up. Tiiis e l|ie rt view ftp- pears to have been convincing to the Japanese delegates, for Mr. F u jita not only c a ll d tlie final proposition to J a ­ pan, but accompanied it w ith hia favor­ able recom m endation. The conferees being thus agreed, it only remained to hear from tlie respective governments th n t they represented. An adjournm ent was accordingly taken u n til W ednesday, by w hich it is not doubted the government at 8L Petersburg and Tokio w ill have taken final action on tlie projiosition.

New York, Nov. 1.—H enry George, author of “ Progress and P overty,” and candidate of the Thomas Jefferson Democracy for mayor of New York, died at 5:10 o’clock th is m orning in the Union Square hotel, of cerebral apoplexy. In his great Cooper U nion speech, accepting th e nom ination for mayor, less than a m onth ago, he said: “ I ’ll make th is race if it costs me my life. T his is a call of duty, and as a good citizen I have no rig h t to dis­ regard it on account of mere personal consideration.” Today tlie cheers of the w orkers have suddenly been changed to sighs, for, true to hia words, H enry George, the apostle of the rights of m an, died aa he wished to die— in harness, fighting for the cause— toward the oloae of the greatest m unicipal political oontest the world has ever seen. L ast night noisy, shouting throngs rushed into halls and streets to hear the speeches th a t in a great p art were filled w ith personality and bitterness, rockets flared and fires burned, men argued and urged, and all signs bore witness th a t th e oam paign was a t its heigtit. B ut w hen today dawned all was changed. Men were loth to be­ lieve th a t ons who had been so much in the public eye in the last few' weeks was no more, and for the tim e being tlie complexion of the political situ a ­ tion was forgotten in genm ne grief. Those who last n ig h t b itterly de­ nounced the man who said “ I stand for the real democracy, the democracy of Thomas Jefferson,” today recalled many touohing kindly acts in the life of the dead man, w hich showed his na­ ture and joined in the words w hioh came as a reply to the lips of all: “ An honest man is d ead ." Til is man of m ighty brain and un- Jaunted oourage was physically frail, and the strain of an exciting oampaign, requiring speechm aking at points m any miles apart night after n ig h t, was more than nature could stand. He kept it up to the end, and only a few hours be- foro the dread messenger cried " H a l t ” Henry George had addressed enthusias­ tic audiences in three of the towns of tlie boroughs of Queens and a still larger assemblage in an uptown h all iiere.
