THE HAGUE MEETING.
The Two Sections on the Disarma.
ment Question Fail to Agree.
SCHEHE FOR ARBITRATION TRIBUNAL
The American delegates Submit Their
plai,-some of The Provisions II Con-
tains-A Special scheme Of
Mediation.

.ihe Hague, June both sections
Of the disarmament committee met yes
terday and, as was anticipated, failed
to agree with regard to the questions
Of new inventions in ornaments. The
drafting committee OF the arbitration
committee made some advance in the
afternoon. The American delegates
submitted their scheme relating to an
arbitration tribunal. The plan differs
from the British proposal. 1t provides
that zach country shall appoint single
arbitrator, to be selected by the SUI
preme courts Of the signatory powers.
The tribunal shall have permanent
central seat and be composed Of at
least three judges, who shall not be
natives or residents OF countries be-
longing to the powers in disac-
cord. The general expenses shall
be shared proportionately. In the
event Of new facts arising with
in three months OF a decision,
the same tribunal shall have power to
try again the questions In dispute.
Recourse to the tribunal shall be OPP
tional for the signatory powers. The
tribunal shall not take cognizance Of
any dispute until assured that the
parties concerned will accept Its deci-
sion. The convention shall come into
force and the tribunal be established
when nine powers, eight OF whom shall
be European or American and four Of
whom shall be signatories Of the dec
laration Of Paris, 1855, shall have adj
hered to the convention.
Apart from the above project, the
Americans proposed special scheme
Of mediation, providing that in the
event Of difference arising between
two powers, each shall choose another
power to act as its second. The powers
thus selected shall do all they can to
reconcile the opponents. These second
ing powers shall, even when war has
broken out, continue their efforts with
a view Of ending hostilities as soon as
possible.
The American project was accompa-
MED by memorandum, entitled
Memorandum from the commissioners
Of the United States submitted with
their project for a permanent int rna'
tional tribunal"
