SETTLEMENT INSURED
Basis for British-Russian
Agreement Satisfactory.
WILL HAVE NO SEQUEL
INCIDENT REGARDED CLOSED AS
TO FUTURE COMPLICATIONS.
Regarded Certain Now That Commits
sion Will Sit in Paris-Ameri-
can Naval Representation.

ST. PETERSBURG. November 2, pm
The Associated Press can authoritatively
announce that the basis for the British
Russian agreement to submit the North
sea incident to a commission insures an
amicable settlement without sequel. The
understanding is complete.
In the heat of the excitement following
the incident many false impressions obtain
ed credence abroad. Now that the smoke
has cleared away it is possible to state that
Great Britain dsclaimed any intention OF
trying to detain the Russian squadron,
which could only be Interpreted as hos
tile act.
1t was never ntimated to Russia that
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's recall would
be demanded and Great Britain never ask
ed Russia to pledge herself to the punish
ment of any one.
The British government fully realized
that officers of the Russian squadron may
have acted with excess of zeal The whole
affair a deplorahle mistake, but as a
result of the inquiry which Will establish
the facts each government is expected to
take appropriate action without demands
from either side, and no pledges have been
requested or given by either country.
So far as future complications are con-
cerned, the incident is regarded as closed
though there has been a slight hitch in the
Russo-Anglo negotiations regarding mat
ters relating to the international commits
sion which has necessitated their transfer
here.
But they only cover minor points and
are expected to be adjusted during the
day.
1t is now regarded as almost certain that
the commission will sit in Paris and be
composed of five naval officers one Rus
sian and one British, each power to choose
another member and the four to select
fifth.
Officers Named.
Russia has practically named Admiral
Kaznakoff. and Great Britain Admiral Sir
Cyprian Bridge although the latter selec-
ton is not absolutely settled. Great Britain
expressed her intention of asking that
United States naval officer sit on the COM
mission, whereupon Russia announced that
she would select a French officer There Is
n strong intimation that Great Britain win
invite Admiral Dewey to be one of the
commissioners. Officers of such character
as those mentioned assure the acceptance
of the findings of the commission by both
countries and the world.
Admiral Kaznakoff is of the ablest
officers in the Russian navy, and is
courtly man, of conciliatory disposition and
judicial temperament. He has practically

CoRBETT THE FAVoRITE.
Great Interest in the Glove Contest at
San Francisco Tonight.

A special from San Francisco says that
when Young Corbett and Battling Nelson
enter the ring at Mechanics Pavilion to-
night for their twenty-round glove contest
the Denver boy will be 7-to-10, If not a
1-to-2 favorite over the Danish Slasher.
The race-track men will back Corbett to q
man. They always do.
Corbett according to his trainer, Harry
Tuthill, has never been In as good condi-
ton for fight as he is at present The
difficulty he experienced in getting down to
weight made Corbett work harder than he
ever did in his life for battle. During the
last three weeks he has never left his train
ing quarters except to do his daily road
work. He is now ready to fight the battle
of his career, and is as cOnfident.as man
can be that he will whip the battling one
tonight.
Reports from Nelson's training quarters
show confidence in the Slashers chances
that encourage his admirers His manager,
Teddy Murphy. says he will have 1,OUO to
bet at the ringside at the prevailing odds
Nelson's recent request for an advance OF
1900 from the management to bet on him.
self shows the Slasher has the necessary
confidence in himself.
Nelson is as hard as nails" says MUIR
ply. land will enter the ring ready for any
thing Corbett has to Offer"
1t is certain Nelson will be backed by a
lot of natives. They figure that any fighter
who beats Spider WEIGH, Eddie Hanlon.
Martin Candle and Aurelia Herrera without
drawing a long breath will do for bet
against the Denver boy.
Nelson shows up well in the dope. The
only man he and Corbett met on equal
ground is Eddie Hanlon. COrbett got a
draw and made Hanlon stop in eighteen
rounds. Nelson also beat Hanlon in
eighteen rounds. There is another line, In
yolving Jimmy Britt and Martin Candle.
The Dane stopped Candle, and Britt let him
stay twenty-five rounds, winning on de-
cision, and then got the verdict over Cor
bett.
Wise Young Corbett is not holding Mel
son cheaply, and, in the opinion of compe-
tent critics. right there he is showing his
usual good judgment.
Jimmy Britt sums up the situation this
way: when l fought Corbett they said /
didn't have chance, and they said the
same thing when l met Cans. The wisest
often go wrong picking winners For this
reason wouldn't be the least bit startled
IL Nelson knocked Corbett out"
