IRAWLER INCIDENT.
Negotiations Between Russia and
Great Britain Progressing.
The international Commission is on the
Verge of Settiement-A Needless
War Panic Took Place Through

London, Nov. Negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and Russia look
ing to a settlement of the North sea
affair are progressing favorably, and
there is not the slightest danger of
any friction arising between the two
governments The constitution of the
International commission under The

of the trawlers in the. North sea was
received. Not for years have so many
alarmist reports and flaming extras.
flooded London.
The most extraordinary feature OF
this scare, which was serious enough
while it lasted, is that there was not
one single circumstance to justify it.
The excitement started early in the
day when the newspapers announced
the departure of the Russian Baltic
squadron from Vigo. The public were
not in possession of the information
cabled to the United States that only
the officers concerned in the firing on
the British 3tfawlers would. be detach'-
ed, and jumped at the conclusion that
Russia had broken faith by not de-
tanning the vessels involved in. the af-
fair. On top of this came wild re.
ports of tremendous activity at Glib
raltar Hour by hour the news from
Gibraltar became more serious, until
at last the climax was reached with
the announcement that the British
fleet had sailed to meet Rojestvens-
ky's squadron. In huge type the pa
pers made the parallel statements:
"The British fleet has cleared for
action; "The Russian fleet has
sailed" - iia
