ally expressed it's regrets to the English
government for the expulsion of Captain
fOunghusband and Lieutenant David
son from the Pamirs by Russian officers.
This ends an incident that at ope time
threatened to result in serious conse-
luences. England claimed that the
Russians were themselves trespassers in
he territory which Captain Younghus-
)and and Lieutenant Davidson were ex-
,elled: and representations were made to

vas entirely unwarranted. That Rus
ia has taken this view of the matter is

on the North sea. The
'orest Queen being torn apart, the sea
ushed through the breaches made in
er hull in great volume. She at once
egan to settle and in very short time
lunged to the bottom. So quickly did
he Forest Queen founder that the crew
ad no chance to save their lives and
he whole crew, with the single excep-
ion Of the captain, went down. The
ispatches give no information as to the
xtent Of the damage done the Lough
row.

he British minister,met Secretary Blaine
t the state department and signed the
reaty of arbitration in behalf of Great
,ritain. He said he had been fully au-
horized by Lord Salisbury to take this
ction. Mr. Blaine signed the document
n behalf Of this government and tie
natter was consummated, SO far as the
iplomatic part Of the business is con-
erned. The treaty is subject, how ever,
0 the action of the British parliament
nd the United States senate. The ex-
ct terms of the treaty cannot now be
tated, but it is known that the board of
FILTRATION will consist of seven persons,
wo representing the United States, two

ondition of affairs, which was then
,roved never to have existed, is certainly
impossible under present com mnetition |
