More About the American Plan.


The President and Secretary Hay are
gratihed at the precedence given by The
Hague conference to arbitration. the sub
! Ject Of which is regarded as mainly
American in conception. The detailed
scheme Of arbitration. whlc' to De pro-
posed by the United States ates. wa
carefully wrought out at th, state De
partment before the commissioners sailed
| from New York 1t will be laid before the
conference probably to-day The details
| of the American project cannot be di-
vulged now as a matter Of courtesy to the
conference, but il can be stated that
il is remarkable at once for its sim
plicity and comprehensiveness 1t differs
considerably from what is known as the
Olney-Pauncefote proposition, as set out
in the arbitration treaty which failed OF
ratification. 1t provides for a permanent
tribunal of arbitration, an impartial ar
bitratiCn being thought more probable
thereby than if aTbitratOrs were chosen IN
the heat of controversy.
Reconciling Differences.
The news from The Hague that the
British and Russian representatives are
conferring with a view TO recOncilias the
points of difference In their two schemes
of arbitration gives satisfaction here, for
the reason that it promises well for an
easy amalgamariOn OF opposing schemes
with the American prOisct, the latter be-
ing very similar in principle TO the British
plan.
The reported decision IL the conference
to admit as a subject for deliberatiOn and
action the American proposition u eX-
empt private property from seizure at sea
is also gratifying. The assurance tndC

proposition. is believed almost - insure
its adoption. and, If This should be the
case, the State Department would regard
that one result as more than repIyIng

The naval and military sections OF the

and exchanged IDEAS in desultory man
ner. The impression gains ground that
the outcome Of this committee will be
practically nil.

Provisional proposals for mediation

The correspondent here of the Associat-

the Americans have submitted an arbitra-
ton proposal IS incorrect. Their prcpos-
ais for permaren ent tribunal are not
ready, as a French translation Is neces-
sary. They will probably be submitted
on Wednesday.
