ceed as in a duel When two men are on the
point of coming to blows, before ANYTHING else,
they discuss the Importance of the offense, 9the

his seconds Sometimes these seconds appeal TO
an arbiter. Very well; it would be the same
for the powers. For instance, take the FaShoda

second the United States France would rage .faken
Russia. The United States and Russia would
have heard the reasons aud explanation OF the
two parties.
The two seconds would have examined and
weighed them in their prudence and justice, and
then given their verdict. Ii by chance they did
come to an understanding, they would have
had recourse to arbiter, the Emperor Francis

seconds discussing the affair, a certain pc

parties in the dispute. calculating the conse
quences of hostilities would finally lean toward
peace rather than war.
The Car was said by Mr.. Stead to be
| determined to remain at peace himself and
| to prevent by all means in his power any
| further partition of China. His propos-
| ais were said to be as follows:
Q) That there should be declared truce OF
| God for five years; (2) that during that period
| the governments should not increase their eXpen-
diture on armament beyond the figure stated by
| them at the conference the maximum of their
needs; (3) that some international agreement
should, if dispute should arise between the sigma
| tories of this pact, bind them always to invite
| the mediation of neutral powers before appealing
| to the sword.
| Mr.. Stead declared that the Car ex-
| pected his plan to fail unless he was sup
| ported by those nations who detest mill
| tarism as well as those who groan under
| its burdens, and said the American peo-
| pie could prevent so fatal a catastrophe.

peror.
This will probably be revised, and GER
tain delays will take place before il is ap-
proved.
Then it will be deliberated upon by the
members of the diplomatic corps here.
Should they arrive at a practical resolu
ton special commissioners from the vari-
Gus nations will assemble here TO agree
upon some joint action which might seem
possible.
1t is necessary to state that. while the
heads of the diplomatic corps are all warm
advocates of the Cars proposal, there are
indications of skeptieism as TO whether
practical resolutions will be possible.
1t is stated that Mr.. w. T. Stead by
his recent trip has worked up a deal Of

| Mr.. Stead, after he was received by the
| Car in his private capacity, not profess

wrote out the audience as an interview.
| Next comes Mr.. Stead's fierce attack
upon Count Muravieff, whom he treats as
| mere figurehead and gives all the credit
| 10 Count Lamsdorff.
This has not made matters pleasant at

| has always set his face steadfastly against
