PROVIDING FOR A PERMANENT
TRIBUNAL.
Washington. May 29-The President and Sec
retary Hay are gratihed at the precedence given
by The Hague Conference TO the subject of ar
bftration, which is regarded mainly American
in conception The detailed scheme OF aroitra-
ton which is to be proposed by the United
States delegates carefully wrought out at
the State Department before the Commissioners
sailed from New-York. 1t will be laid before
the conference probably tomorrow The details
of the American project cannot be divulged now
as q matter Of courtesy 10 the conference. but 1t
can be stated that it is remarkable at once for
its simplicity and comprehensiveness 1t differs
considerably from what is known as the Olney-
Pauncefote proposition. as set out in the arbitra-
ton treaty which failed Of ratification. 1t pro-
vides for a permanent tribunal Of arbitration. an
impartial arbitration being thought more prob
able thereby than II arbitrators were chosen
in the heat of controversy.
The news from The Hague that the British
and Russian representatives are conferring with
q view TO reconciling the points Of difference in
their two schemes OF arbitration gives satisfac-
ton here for the reason that ii promises well
for an easy amalgamation Of opposing schemes
with the American project the latter being SIM
liar in principle TO the British plan
The reported decision of the conference to ad-
NIT as a subject for deliberation and action the
American proposition TO exempt private prop
erty from seizure at is also gratifying The
assurance that England, which has so long held
aloof will give her support to this American
proposition is believed almost to insure It's adop-
fion. and II this should be the case the state
Department would regard that one result as
more than repaying the nations concerned Tor
the cost and trouble OF assembling the CONFER
ence. 80, ,, - -.
The American delegates are still having free
hand Secretary Hay finding no occasion 70
add materially TO their INSTRUCTIONS since lhey
entered the conference.

ARBITRATION PROPOSALS.
FOUR POWERS AT THE PEACE CONFER
ENCE SUBMIT THEM.

The Hague, May 29-A brief official record Of
the doings of the Peace Conference during the
last week says
Provisional proposals for mediation and arbi-
tration have been submitted by the representa-
tives of Russia, Great Britain. Italy and the
United States"
The correspondent here Of The Associated
Press learns that the statement that the Ameri-
cans have submitted an arbitration proposal is
incorrect Their proposals for a permanent
tribunal not ready, as a French translation
is necessary. They will probably be submitted
on Wednesday,
The Drafting Committee. or subcommittee, of
the Arbitration Committee met to-day and dis
cussed the Russian scheme. adopting with slight
notifications the first six articles.
Count Ngra, chief Of the Italian delegation,
submitted proposal Of mediation and arbitra-
ton consisting of six articles, in the form Of an
amendment 10 the Russian project.
The Americans also submitted an amendment
demanding that In the event of dispute be-
tween two nations each should choose another
nation to act together as arbitrators to settle
the difference without bloodshed. This must
not be confounded with the proposal for a per-
manent arbitration tribunal, which the Arneri-
cans will introduce during the week.
The Italian proposal includes clause proVlo-
ing that mediation and arbitration shall not
stop mobilization or preparations Tor war
Neither the American nor Italian amendment
has yet been discussed
The naval and military sections OF the DIS
armament Committee both met to-day and ex-
changed ideas in desultory manner. The I'M
preston gains ground that the outcome OF ths
committee will be practically nil.
