WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE state de-.
Partment is relying upon the press re.
ports up to this moment for the details
Of the Hague conference. Consequently
1t is not in possession as yet Of any Of
fetal statement Of the mediation and
arbitration plan which is the prominent
measure now before the conference.
Accepting the press reports as accurate,
it may be stated that the pro-
lect is eminently satisfactory to
u country. 1t is pointed
out that the arbitration scheme is moth
ing more than an elaboration Of the
simple American proposition with
which II delegates We're charged be-
fore they left the United States. It is
true that the pending proposition is
credited to Sir Julian Pauncefote. but
that was because he had skilfullv and
with great ability elaborated the details
Of the American principle, to meet the
nice objections expected to be inter-
posed by the European delegates.
