Washington, Oct. 14. — Secretary
Sherman has written a reply to the
note of Lord Salisbury, expressing
Great Britain’s declination to take part
in a Behring sea conference in which
Russia and Japan will participate.
The essential features of Mr. Sherman’s
reply have been sent by cable to the
British government, and the reply in
full is on its way to the British author­
ities. Lord Salisbury’s note of declin­
ation, it can be now stated, bears date
of October 6, so that the rttH|smse is
made with promptness.
The answer states that the United
States government views with astonish­
ment the determination of Great
Britain not to participate in a confer-
snee including Russia ami Japan, and
the statement is made that up to the
23d of last month, the United States
authorities had fully expected that the
conference would proceed with Russia
as well as Great Britain present. It is
pointed out that, aside from the written
conference which Lord Salisbury haa
called attention to, there were verbal
negotiations between Ambassador Hay
and his lordship, in which a special
reference was made to the participation
of Russia and Japan. At one of these
verbal exchanges, it is stated. Lord Sal­
isbury said he would advise with the
officials of the foreign office concerning
the subjects discussed, which included
the participation of Russia and Japan.
Subsequently, on July 29, Ambassador
Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury saying the
president hoped to have Russia and
Japan participate in the conference.
In view of these circumstances, the
United States had confidently expected
that Great Britain would take part in
the conference, and that Russia and
Japan would lie represented, with the
approval of Great Britain.
Besides the foregoing reply, and in
view of the differences which have
arisen, the state departrnnt suggests a
conference in accordance with the
terms of Lord Salisbury’s agreement, as
he construes it, namely, between ex­
perts of Great Britain, the United
States and Canada. This last feature
is now under consideration by the Brit­
ish government, its substance having
been transmitted by cable, but it is not
expected that an answer will be made
until Mr. Sherman’s answer in detail
reaches London.
In the meantime, preparations for
the conference between the United
States, Russia and Japan are proceed­
ing.
