Inc Hague, June 1.-THE drafting com
mlttee for the arbitration tribunal scheme.

its sitting TO Monday next. The ostensi-
Dle reason for the adjournment was the

IN reconciling a scheme of the other Pow

prospect is more hopeful
Even if no agreement should be reached,

trusts which will constitute a purely or
a comparatively collateral issue. The
high tariff duties and the consequent COM

the result of the victory in 1896 over tho

The Occasion Made One of Anglo
American Rejoicing.

American Rejoicing.
London, June 16-The dinner which the
White Friars Club gave Mark Twain this
eysning at the Hotel Cecil was remarka-
BILE tribute 20 the author and at the same
time to the friendly relations existing be-
tween Great Britain and the United States.
Each of the speakers, among whom were
the Very Rev. S. Reynolds Hole, United
States Senator-elect Chauncey NJ. Depew,
and Mr. Poultney Bigelow, dwelt upon this
theme.
Mr.. Frederick Austin, in proposing Mark
Twain's health, said:
"What most appeals to men and women
in his own calling, aud what will ever
cause his name TO be associated with Sir
Walter Scott's in similar circumstances,
is his noble courage in misfortune. the
high honor which accepted the penalty or
disaster and the undaunted toll that now
enables him again to lift the colors of
victory"
The reply of Mr.. Clemens. who was re-
ceived on rising with prolonged cheers.
was in his happiest vein, causing much
laughter and applause.

dorsement. Abiding to the change o.
seGtiment in America, produced by Great
Brtains attitude and action during the
Hispano-Amerlcan war, he said:
when Capt. Coghlan of the Raleigh
returned from Manila he told us abou,
the attitude OF Admiral Won Diedriehs and
Sir Edward Chichester of the Immortalite /;
and he told us-what we all in our hearts
already knew-that the European Powers.
save England, sympathized with our ene-
mics and that il was only their knowledge
that England would support us morally
and actively, if necessary, which prevent-
ed their interference (applause); and it
was this knowledge which made 1t possi-
BILE for men, when addressing a political
gathering of 10000 people in America the
other day TO take the Stars and Stripes
in one hand and the Union Jack in the
other and not to hear one dissenting voice
in that vast audience"
A fitting climax was given at this point
when Sir Edward Chichester who had
been prevented by another engagement
from coming earlier, entered the room and
was greeted with three cheers.
Sir Erward Chichester expressed his ad-
miration for Admiral Dewey and his off,
GERS and for the American sailors gener-
ally. He said:
Il was very glad 10 be at Manila, and
the visit increased my respect for the
American character After ell, blood Is

dent ministers of foreign states. Mr..
White suggested that the Dutch minister
