Effort TO Fix the HIame for the
North Sea Affair.
st. Petersburg. Nov. q, a. m.-Rat-
iications of the Anglo-Russian Dogger
Bank convention will be exchanged
here between Foreign Minister Lams-
dorff and Ambassador Hardinge.
The principal modification of the
British text of the convention as fin
ally accepted by both powers will con-
sist in clearly imposing upon the COM
mission the task of locating the blame,
irrespective of persons or nationality.
Both the American and the French
governments have been informally ap-
prised that they are expected to select
members of the commission, and when
the formal joint invitations are issued
they will be expected promptly to an
nounce the selection. In order to OBJ
viate delay Emperor Francis Joseph
has been selected to name the fifth
member of the commission in case the
four should be unable to agree.
An officer of the transport Kamchat-
ka was detached at Dakar and will
proceed to Paris as a fifth Russian wit
ness.
Much interest is displayed here in
the report that a British warship fired
on the Carron line steamer Grange off
the coast of Scotland, as showing that
mistakes at sea are not confined to the
Russian navy.
