ALARMING RUMoRs CURRENT.
Reported Hitch in the Negotiations Be
tween England and Russia.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November IA cable dis
patch from London says: Lord Lansdowne,
the foreign secretary, Lord Selborne, the
first lord of admiralty, and Count Bencken-
dorff the Russian ambassador. had a
conference last night which continued until
a late hour After the conference call
was issued for another cabinet meeting TO
be held tomorrow. Rumors are current
that serious hitch has occurred in the
negotiations regarding the North sea af-
fair. Following last nights conference,
with King Edward. Following these devel-
opments comes news from Nigo that the
Russian Baltic fleet under Admiral Rojest-
vensky suddenly left that place at 7;;o a m.
today. The public is utterly mystified. 1t
IL also alarmed.
Dispatches from st. Petersburg and Vigo
declare that the Baltic fleet officers are de-
hant and that n powerful war party in Rus
sia is behind them in their defiance. The
reported sailing of the Baltic fleet from
Vigo has made bad impression. The pub
lie ever since the North sea incident has
clamored for stopping the fleet until Great
Britain has made sure of full redress Then
IL was announced that only the vessels of
the fleet concerned in the actual firing on
the fishermen would be detained. This was
regarded by "A large number of people as a
large concession by Great Britain. Now 1t
looks as If the entire fleet was about to
proceed,
1t is reported from ST. Petersburg that the
British government has consented to this
on condition that the officers responsible for
the incideIft be left behind, pending the in
vestigation.
The report has caused irritation in some
quarters and news of the actual intentions
or the Baltic feet Ia anxiously awaited. 1t

your distinguished fellow townsman, the
solicitor of the State Department, Judge
Penfield. One week from today we must
decide whether to go forward under repub-
lican policies or to overturn them and adopt
in their place democratic policies. Demo-
Gratis do not intend their policies to work
our undoing.
Our democratic friends want to put into
force good policies which will promote our
common interests, but in the last forty-four
years they have been unfortunate; they
have not stood for any policies that have
worked for the advancement of the Amer
ican people. Everything which has been
done to advance and promote our common
welfare has been accomplished by the re-
publican party. In challenging the efficacy
of the democratic party l do not challenge
individuals.
Il have not a word of criticism of the
democrat who disagrees with me. 1t is
against democratic policies that / speak,
because they will work our common injury.

ton of questions of foreign Significance.

very little time, as the treaty is remark
ably short-infact, the shortest ever ne
gotiated here. Though this is true as to

tion thai Article XIX ef. The Hague con-
vention reserved to. the contracting par
ties the right to conclude arran gements
with a view to the ARBITRATION of questions
which they might consider possible to SUBJ
init to such Treatment, therefore the sig
natories have concluded an agreement that:
ARTICLE l. Differences which may arise
of a legal nature-er relating to the inter-
pretation of treaties existing between the
two contracting partes.s and which it may
NOT have been possible 10 settle by dipIo-
macy, shall be referred to the permanent
court Of arbitration esta blished at The
Hague by the convention of the 10Th of
July, 1899; provided nevertheless that they
do not affect the vital Interests. the indie
pendence or the honor of the two contract
ing states and do not concern the interest
OF third parties. ----a
"Article 2. In each individual case the
high contracting parties, before appealing
to the permanent court of arbitration, shall
conclude a special arrangement defining
clearly the matter in dispute, the scope of
the power of the arbitra tors and the period
to be fixed for the formation of the arbitral
tribunal and the several stages of the pro-
ceeding
Article g. The present agreement is con-
cluded for period of five years from the
day of signature of this treaty.
1t is the opinion of the officials here that
the Franco-American convention does not

tration under its terms.

that a whole set of arbitration treaties will
