      There was a very disquieting rumor last week to the effect that England had refused to take part in the Seal Conference.

      The reason given for her refusal was that she could not join in the discussion if Russia and Japan were admitted to it.

      At the British Foreign Office, which is the department of the Government that has the charge of such matters, the officials refused to say positively whether Great Britain had declined to take part in the conference, but they let it be understood that Canada was at the bottom of the trouble.

      The Canadian Government was most unwilling to have Great Britain join in the conference, and asked that the mother country should withdraw, and leave the settlement of the matter to the colony that was most interested in it.
