METHOD OF SETTLEMENT.
North Sea Difficulty to Be live Sti-
gated by an International
Commission


Great Britain and Russia has been
averted and the settlement of any
points in dispute regarding the attaca
by the Russian second Pacific squad
ron on British trawlers on October 81
has been referred to an international
commission under The Hague conven-
ton.
Premier Balfour, speaking at meet
ing of the National Union and Conser-
vative clubs at Southampton last night
broke the silence which has been so
long preserved and had brought the
people of the United Kingdom to a
condition Of almost desperate irrita-
ton, and had given rise to misconcep-
tions which Mr. Balfour last night ex-
posed.
'The Russian ambassador, said
Mr.. Balfour, "has authorized a state
ment to the following effect: The
Russian government, on bearing of
the North Sea incident, at once ex-
pressed it's profound regret and prom
ised most liberal compensation. The
Russian government has ordered the
detention at Vigo of that part Of the
feet which was concerned in the moi
dent, in order that the naval authori-
ties might ascertain what officers were
responsible for it; that those officers
and any material witnesses would not
proceed on the voyage to the far East;
that inquiry would be instituted into
the facts by an international commits
sion, as provided by The Hague con-
vention."
Commission on Facts.
Mr.. Balfour said that this arrange.
ment was not an arbitration; it was
the constitution of an international
commission in order to ascertain the
facts. Any person found guilty, would
be tried and punished adequately. The
Russian government undertook that
precautions would be taken to guard
against the recurrence Of such Incl
dents. Special instructions on this
subject would be issued.
Preliminary to this court, said Mr..
Balfour, there would be a coroner
inquest at Hull over the dead fisher
men, board Of trade inquiry and an
inquiry by Russian officers at Vigo.
The board Of trade inquiry would be
specially constituted by. the British
government to include representative
men. The Russian embassy had been
asked to send a representative and give
assistance. Apology and compensation
having already been offered, it now re-
manned but to determine which &C.
count was correct, Rojestvensky's or
the trawlers'.
Mr.. Balfour plainly said that Thurs
day evening Russia and Great Britain
seemed to be on the brink of war, and
yet accorded the frankest praise to the
attitude preserved throughout by the
czar and the Russian government.
While the premier was unable to praise
the pacific attitude of the government
too highly, he bitterly assailed Rojest-
vensky's report, declaring that it was
an insult to Great Britain as a neutral
power, and he ridiculed its proba bility
The immense audience received Mr..
Balfour's announcement Of the settle
ment of the aaffir with unbounded en-.
thusiasm.
