plans or intentions. informed the world
that we were protracting the negotiations
simply in order to give us time to put
800, 600 men along the Canadian boundary
line, our entire navy being held in readi-

next step would be to repudiate and
break uff pending negotiations, and then
to formulate wholly new set Of terri

upon Canada as to tariffs aud the like

England the desired opportunity to take

Debate Between Americas and KBgIish
Delegates,

London, june 2.-The special dispatch
e. from the Hague TO the London morn
ing papers agTee that the American
scheme meets with much favor, as being
eminentiy practicable Sir Julian Paun-
eefofe. the head of the British delegation,
has modified the British proposal and now
suggests that the administrative council
should not be international but should
be appointed by the government Of the
country where the permanent court as
sembleE.
according to the correspondent Of the
Daily News the arbitration commission
has unanimously recommended the Amer
lean scheme TO the conference.
a long debate occurred between the
English and American delegates in order
TO arrive al compromise upon the An
glo- American scheme as against that Of
Russia. As q result Sir Julian Paunce-
totes plan viii be laid on the table to-
morrow Thursday.
The professors Of international law at
the conference regarded the American
scheme as practicable.
The American project for an interna-
tionAl arbitration tribunal was accom-
panied by memorandum entitled mem
orandum from the commissioners Of the
United States submitted with the project
for a permanent international tribunal =
The text Of the memorandum follows:
The proposal herewith submitted takes
its form, As resolution looking to action
outside Of the conference, from our in
strnctions. The proposal shows the earn
est desire Of the president Of the United
States for q permanent international trib-
unal for the conduct Of Arbitration between
nations and the willingness Of the presi-
dent 10 aid in the establishment Of such a
tribunal upon the general lines indicated
-The commissioners from the United
States are ready, without insisting upon
the form Of their own resolutions, TO try
to develop the proposals hereafter sub
mitted to the conference, so that they
shall esnbody what Is essential in this
plan. 1t seems to the United States com
missioners that it ought not to be diff
cult TO associate with the several proPos-
ais, as they may eventually be developed
for mediation in various forms Of inter
national inquiry and arbitration, by spec.
ial arrangement, a plan for a permanent
tribunal OF arbitration which will EN-
body what is essential in the American
resolution"
The American mediation scheme was
unanimously adopted at yesterdays sit

led as article seven the scheme prepared
by the subcommittee with few altera-
