GERMANY STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE
CONFERENCE AT THE HAGUE.
The Hague June 16.-The Drafting Commit
tee for the arbitration tribunal scheme which
should have met to-day, adjourned its sitting
to Monday next. The ostensible reason for the
adjournment was the absence Of Baron Estour-
nclles de Constant Of the French delegation,
who drew up the minutes. 1t is possible now
ever. that the delegates had not received sur
ficient instructions from their respective gov
ernments TO make further progress.
The delegates do not regret the opportunity
of few days more time to deliberate. The dll-
nculty now chiefly consists in reconciling
scheme Of the other Powers with the views or
Germany but the prospect is more hopeful.
Even # no agreement should be reached an
arbitration organization will nevertheiess De ar
ranged. and will remain open to such of the
Powers as are not able to sign now. In the
mean time every effort will be made to meet
the German views
The Naval Section First Committee met to-
day and received the report Of Count Soltyk. A
majority of the section will favor the prohlDi-
ton Of explosives intended to spread asphyx-
iating gases and the use of rams on warshlps'
The questions of limiting gun calibre, armor
mates and the force of powder remain unde-
c,6ed nonding the receipt Of instructions from
the various governments
The report will be submitted first to the com
u,ittee and then TO the Conference.

tion by a sermon In which he spoke OF Sunday golf
a. follows: II am perfectly well aware that tho

Gordian knot which is not possible TO my thought
and faith and is a statement which does not appear
to be true
1T appears to me incontrovertible that alb
solute distinction be established between yar,-

sidered There j. no difference between taking a
