FINAL DETAILS ARRANGED.
All in Readiness for the AnGlo-Rus.
 sim Convention.

St. Petersburg. Nov. s.-(11:4l a. m) Final details covering the Anglo Russian convention regarding the North Sea incident have been completed by the acceptance by Russian in writ ing of certain points.
 Invitations will now be issued joint ly by the two governments to the United States and France to appoint admlrals to serve on the commission which will meet at the earliest possi- ble moment in Paris to select the fifth member.
 In case of the failure of the four admlrals to agree as stated in these dispatches, the two powers will ask a sovereign to name him. Although neither Russia nor Great Britain pledges herself in advance to punish the offenders both agree to accept the findings of the commission. thus i'm posing upon each other the moral obli- gation to deal with any culpability es- tablished according to the laws of the respective countries.

 Vienna, Nov. s.-The greatest inter- est Is shown in Austria in President Roosevelt's success In relation to in- fluence upon commercial affairs Aus trian commerce has suffered severally by reason of the high American tariff, and, it is feared that with Roosevelt in the presidential chair. European mer- chants will find 1t still harder to en- ter the American market than be- fore.
 The Presidents so-called imperialis~ tic tendencies are also largely dis .cussed by the Austrian press. It Is significant. however. that The ,Frem- denblatt. the organ of the Foreign Of- flee, does not share the apprehension expressed elsewhere of possible dangr from this source Roosevelt, will not lead the nation into an adventurous policy.
