BEHRING SEA CLAIMS.

Wegetlatlone with Canadlaa BepreeewtaUvea Proceed SatlefwataeUy. Washington, Oct. 31. —Secretary Olney was in conference again for more than an hour yesterday with Sir Julian Pauncefote and his Canadian advisers. Sir Mackenzie Bowell and Sir Charles Tupper, respecting the arrangement of some means of adjusting the British Behring sea claims. Affft* the discussion the parties dispersed without fixing any day for another meeting. No statement of the results of the discussion so far can be elicited at the state department, but there is little doubt that it related not directly to the settlement of the claims just now, but rather to the formation of a commission to examine carefully all the claims and recommend means of settlement. The British representatives feel entirely satisfied with their reception by Secretary Olney and consider that the negotiations are proceeding satisfactorily.
