HAGUE CONFERENCE.
The American and Russian Schemes
of Arbitration.
OUTLINE OF BOTH PROPOSITIONS.
The Americans to submit "A Scheme of
Mediation Distinct from Their Arbl-
tration Plan-CompuIsionN Not
Wanted.

London. May 31.-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent at The Hague
says: The American scheme deals with
the entire question. Not only does it
outline accurately the type of the per
| manent tribunal but it also provides
satisfactorily for the mechanism of
such a court IN all its details. The
Americans. however, are willing to
have the best features of the British.
American and Russian proposals ANAL
gamated IN homogeneous whole.
The Americans propose that IN
the event of new facts coming
to light after verdict such as
would Justify a fresh trial, the case
shall be heard again by the same tri
bunal. After the investigation the
commission shall submit a report,
signed by all the members, to the gov
ernments interested. The report shall
in no wise have the character of an ar
bitration Judgment, but shall leave the
conflicting parties at full liberty either
to conclude friendly arrangement on
the basis Of said report, or to have re
course to arbitration by concluding an
agreement, or else by resorting to ac-
tive measures allowable in the mutual
relations between nations"
The Russian proposals are followed |
by code of arbitration indicating !
procedure on these lines: The states |
interested that have accepted arbitra- |
ton shall sign special act of com |
promise clearly setting forth the ques- !
tions to be arbitrated and the full facts |
connected Herewith. The compromise |
thus concluded may provide for arbi- |
fYslfJ h rl,nln
in dispute or upon points cate
gorically determined. The govern
ments interested. may entrust the
function of arbitration either to a |
sovereign third power or to a tribunal |
of arbitration. Such tribunal shall be
selected in the same manner as com
missioners of inquiry; and if difficulty /
arises in choosing the fifth arbitrator
as president, the other powers shall be /
asked by common consent to appoint |
president The other clauses of the
proposals deal with details as to place |
of meeting, the appointment of coun-
sci, the procedure of the tribunal and |
cognate matters.
NOT TO BE ANY CONFUSION.
London. May 31.-The correspondent !
of the Daily News at The Hague says: /
1.-THE Americans will submit Wednesday |
a scheme of mediation distinct from |
their arbitration scheme. / under
stand it is entirely original and full of /
new and ingenious and practical ideas. |
The Americans refuse to consent to |
compulsion in any category of cases |
for arbitration or at any stage of the |
proceedings. Disputes, therefore; can
only be referred to the permanent |
tribunal by the desire of both litigant |
states. They also hold that to oblige |
independent states to enter into bind |
ing treaties with each other would rev |
oiutionize international law and the
Monroe doctrine"

CHINA SEEKS GOOD OFFICES
OF THE UNITED STATES
Unofficial Appeal Made to Prevent Euro
pean Powers From Further Seizirg
Chinese Coast Territory.

NEW YooRK, March ia dispatch
TO the Herald from Washington says:
A determined. though unofficial effort Is
being made to secure the exercise by
the United States of its good offices In
behalf of China. The matter has not yet
been brought officially to the attention
of Secretary Hay. but it is understood
that he is aware of the wishes Of certain
interested persons, and the advantage,
from their point of view, that would ac-
crue to this government in case of such
action.
1t is untrue that any appeal has been
made to this government to make any
representations to foreign governments
| IN prevent them from seizing Chinese
territory. What is desired Is that this
government shall. through its minister
at Pekin, inform the empress dowager
Of the dangerous position China occupies
and having done this make public
declaration that the commercial interests
OF the United States make 1t necessary
that no further leases of Chinese coast
territory be granted.
1t is extremely improbable, however
