H1Ne1Na ON BRITA1N's REPLY.
Tension of the Situation is Materially
Relieved.

PARIS, July %, Las pm.-It was said at
the foreign office at noon that the eX-
changes of communications going on be-
tween London, St Petersburg and Paris
show that the tension of the Anglo Russian
situation has been materially relieved. II
now appears that Russia has submitted to
the British government a certain proposi-
ton, which, If acceptable, will serve as the
basis for an adjustment. These exchanges
have been somewhat informal and are be-
ing described as hints, but they are suf-
ficlently clear to indicate Russia's purpose
TO adjust the question.
The outcome now is considered to be
hinging on Great Britain's answer. 1t Is
understood that the proposition contem-
plates the release of the Malacca, but the
officials say that the previous reports that
orders had actually been issued for her
release are incorrect. 1t IS further as
serted that the prospective adjustment VIII
be confined to the seizure of the Malacca
and will not include the general question of
the right of Russia under the treaty of
Paris to send vessels of the volunteer fleet
through the Dardanelles
1t is considered mop, ortune to discuss a
readjustment of the rights of the powers
under the treat of Paris during a time of
war and, therefore, If the question of a re-
adjustment Is raised it probably will go
over until the close Of the Japanese-Rus-

mittee, which takes place In New York on

within a few days She plans to come
from her home at Derby, Conn, and re-
main until late next week, and then go to
Cortland. N. Y, near where Judge Parker
was born.
1t is the custom of Judge Parker's moth
er to spend the summer here, but this year
she thinks Rosemount will be too lively
for the quiet rest she desires The family
at Rosemount wishes her to remain here
until after the notification ceremonies
When she arrives, it is believed. she may
decide to stay or at least hasten her re-
turn from Cortland. She Is now in her
eightieth year and enjoys excellent health.

that purpose.

The Russian authorities, after receiving
the report of the captain of the st. Peters,

lief Is expressed that the recall of the vol
unteer fleet steamers has been ordered.
