Method of Procedure.

Succeeding articles prescribe the scope of
the investigation and the method of sub
hitting proof and bind the parties to pro-
duce all evidence. An important qualifica-
ton is contained in article XIV, as follows
THE report of the international commit
tee of inquiry, which is limited to a verifi-
cation of facts, has in no respect the char
acter of an arbitral judgment. 1t leaves
to the litigant powers full liberty as to the
result that may be impaired to such verifi-
cation"
AS to the method of constituting such COM
mission, it is provided that there may be
one of several commissioners designated by
the parties at their discretion or chosen by
them from among the members of The
Hague permanent court. Failing an immc-
date agreement to the constitution of
the commission, each party is to name two
arbitrator, and the latter, acting together,
choose umpire. In case of an equality
of votes, a third power is to name the UNI
pire.
1t is believed here that such commission
would be admirably adapted to the task of
settling authoritatively the principal issue
between England and Russia, as to whether
or not there were Japanese vessels in the
North sea on Dogger banks when the traw-
lers were attacked.

BELIEF OF THE OFFICIALS.
It is Thought That Controversy May Be
Submitted to a Commission.

Such information as the State Depart
ment has received over night from its
agents in Europe, the particular source not
being disclosed tends to confirm the OFF,
Gals here in the belief that the North sea
incident is likely to be settled for the time
being by an agreement between Great Brit
ain and Russia to submit the matter to
commission representing both governments
with neutral umpire This commission
will it is understood, make thorough in
vestigation to ascertain the facts, particu-
larly whether or not there were japanese
vessels in the North sea and especially to
ascertain whether, even if there We're not,
the Russian naval commanders We're in
possession of such information as would
warrant them in believing that vessels of
the enemy were in the neghborhood and in
tended to attack them. 1t is not believed
that this commission, in the event that Il
found that there was no reasonable basis
for such apprehension on the part of the
Russian commanders as would warrant
them in firing into the British fishing fleet,
would undertake to prescribe punishments
for the officers at fault. 1t would simply
point out their laches, leaving it to the
Russian government to deal with them.

Provision of the Hague Treaty.

1t is believed here that the proposition of
the British cabinet is one looking to the
creation of an international commission of
inquiry, and it turns out that explicit pro-
vision for just such commission was
made in The Hague peace treaty which
both Great Britain and Russia signed 1t
is understood that the French government
has been very active In pressing the COM
mission plan of settlement upon Great Brit
ain and Russia, pointing out to them that
they are, in fact obligated under The
Hague treaty to have recourse to such a
commission. The treaty provides in de-
tail for it's creation in a manner that fits
it almost perfectly to this case. Under
1.-THE III, Article TX, it is provided:
In International differences affecting
neither honor nor essential interests, and
growing out of difference of opinion as to
questions of fact, the signatory powers
deem it expedient that the parties who
may not be able to come to an agreement
in the diplomatic way should, as far as
circumstances will permit, institute an in
ternational commission of inquiry, charged
with facilitating the solution of such diff
ferences by clearing up such questions of
fact by an impartial and conscientious in

What Naval Officers Say.

Naval officers here whoNhave been keep
ing pretty close watch on the movements
of the Japanese and Russian naval vessels
scout the idea that Japanese torpedo boats
could have been present in the North sea-
They say, in the first place that no such
craft could possibly have made their way
all around the world from Japan without
disclosing their identity by stopping at
suitable places for coal or supplies. In
the second place no such boats could have
been bought in Europe, for to have sold
them would have been distinct violation
of neutrality, and besides, the location of
nearly every one of the European torpedo
boats is matter of record here and abroad
So the naval belief is that if there were
any Japanese craft in those waters they
were fishing craft intended to discharge
fish torpedoes, and, indeed. 1t Is said here
that the Russians were warned that the
Japanese intended to equip just such craft
to attack the Russian vessels

are likely To remain there, while Mr..

ner by many lengths His success is
due to two causes.
One is that he is popular with the vot-

perhaps. the more potent reason. is that
he has the unqualified Endorsement of
the Quay machine which manufactures
statesmen to order I'm the Keystone
State. and So long as he holds that. the
little ones who spring to the front and
seek TO shut out the Hon. "Thad''
might as well preserve their energy for
another cause. The fight upon Mr..

but Mr.. Mahon's friends declare that
there is no cause for worry on his part.
