RuSsid GiUeS assurances Regarding q
Search Of Steamers.

London. Aug 29-The Russian government
has given assurances to Great Britain that there
is absolutely ground for the charge that the
Russian warships are discriminating against
British shipping in favor of German or other
search for contraband. 1t is explicitly stated
that Russia is not pursuing British ships Ger
man ships or ships of any other nationality, but
that she is solely pursuing contraband. This as
surance has gone far to allay the irritation of
the government here which had been receiving
unofficial information indicating discrimina ton
The Foreign Office also has been officially ad-
vised OF the appointment Of the joint commits
sion representing the Russian Foreign and Ma
rine ministries. to be presided over by Professor
de Martens professor Of international law at the
University Of st. Petersburg. and which will sit
forthwith to consider the distinction between
conditional and absolute contra band of war
The Associated Press is informed that the COM
mission will discuss the advisabilty OF the mod
ihcation Of the Russian regulations governing
contraband
The Foreign Office understands II is the pur-
pose OF Russia to conciliate the United States on
this subject Russia will make substantial con-
cessions which are expected to go far to sat-
isfy both countries.
AT the same time Russia has made It clear to
Great Britain that some latitude must be given
her In the way OF sezing goods conditionally
contraband, provided hostile destination is sus
pected, as Premier Balfour In his last statement
referred to the necessity of neutrals recognizing
the rights possessed by beigerents It is be-
heved In Russian diplomatic circles that an
agreement will soon be reached.

pond a treachere#s- Fisee-for children,
and being unable 10 swim sank TO HIS
death before his frightened companions
