St Petersburg, Nov Q:41 D. m.)- Russia has accepted the telegraphic !. draft of the Anglo Russian convention for the commission of inquiry into the North sea incident, submitted. to Rus E sia Wednesday, and the final ex- T changes will be ratified in London. The convention covers six articles. The commission will sit in Paris and will consist of five members, Russian, Brit ish, American and French. Broad out. lines for the inquiry are laid down by the convention, but the commission, will have wide latitude in determining all the relevant facts. Although the convention is agreed to, it is believed that some minor matters connected with the subject, the exact nature of which cannot be ascertained, are still undecided.
 The Associated Press has strong req son to believe that the letter iron. Vigo published in the Novoe Vremya this morning represents practically the sub- stance of Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky's detailed report submitted to Emperor Nicholas to-day by Captain Glade. h. deed. it is almost certain that the let ter was written by Captain Clado him self 1t has attracted much attention. being accepted by the public as we'll as by the Novoe Vremya as the com plete Russian version of the North sea incident. Commenting editorially oh the letter, the Noyoe Vremya declares 1t shows 1t was not case of panic, nor of the misreading of signals, but of cool calculation of the time for the arrival of the torpedo boars after they were sighted by the Russian transport Kamtchatka The Novoe Vremya says the commission will have an oppor, .tunity of seeing the wireless messages on the subject.
 Four points of the Russian case, as presented simultaneously by special dispatches from Paris to two papers here, which bear evidence that they came from inspired sources, are as follows:
 l.. Information which reached Vice Admiral Rojestvensky as he was leav- ing Danish waters showed that sus- picious vessels were .i in the North sea, navigating first under one flag and then under another.
 2. The transport Kamchatza's re- port by wireless telegraphy, some time before the incident occurred, that she had seen two torpedo boats (the Kofn- chatia being then thirty miles behind the squadrons)
 8. Later the receipt of suspicious wireless message signed hamehatka@ asking for the exact latitude and lon gitude of the squadron, q message which 1t was afterward ascerta1ned was never sent by the Kamchatka. 4. Then the appearance of two tor-l A pedo boats alongside the squadron, (which could not have been Russian, Aas all the Russian torpedo boats were bthen in the English channel. The &suuadron did not fire until the tor *pedo boats were seen.
 The fact that only seven torpedo boats are now with the squadron whereas eight left Libau is explained by the fact that one of them broke down before the squadron left Danish waters, and was lowed back to Libau by the Russian ice breaker, Ermak
 The reports of British warships fol lowing up the various divisions of the Russian squadron are creating intense irritation here. The Sviet says:
 saThe shadowing of the Russian squadron by British cruisers cannot . % on. This game must be stopped and the sooner the better"
