(By the Associated PreSS.)
London, Oct. 2S.-All danger of wal
between Russia and Great Britain has
been averted and a settlement of the
only points in dispute regarding the
attack by the Russian second Pacific
squadron on British trawlers. October
81. has been referred to an interna-
tional commission under The Hague
convention.
Premier Balfour, speaking at Z
meeting of the National Union of Con-
ServatiVe Clubs, at southampton to-
night, broke that silence which had
been so long preserved and had
brought the people of the United King
dom to a condition OF almost desperate
irritation and given rise tC nisconcep-
lions which Mr.. Balfour tonight him
self exposed.
The Russian Ambassador" said
Mr. Balfour, mas authorized a state
ment to the following effect:
1.-The Russian government on hear
ing of the North Sea incident at once
expressed its profound regret and also
promised most liberal compensation.
The government has ordered the de-
tention at Nigo of that part of the
fleet which was concerned in the in
cident, in order that the naval au-
thorities might ascertain what officers
We're responsible for it; that those
OTIlcerS ana any material Witnesses Will
not be allowed to proceed on the voy-
age to the Far East; that inquiry
would be instituted into the facts by
an international commission as pro-
vided by The Hague conventions; that
Mr.. Balfour interpollated, had moth
ing to do with arbitration; it was the
constitution of an international COM
mission in order to find out the facts
and any person found guilty would
be tried and punished adequately.
The Russian government undertook
that precautions would be taken to
guard against q recurrence of such
incidents. Special instructions on
this subject would be issued. Prelim-
mary to this court, said Mr. Balfour,
there would be the coroner's inquest
at Hull over the dead fishermen, a
board of trade inquiry and an inquiry
by Russian officials at Vigo. The
board of trade inquiry would be spe-
cially constituted by British govern
ment to include representative men
The Russian embassy had been asked
TO send representative and give as
sistance. Apology and compensation
having already been offered, nothing
now remains but to determine which

changes Between London and St.

de Articles of The Hague Conven-
ton.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Details of the agreement between
Russia and Great Britain upon a
mode of settlement of the questions
arising out of the firing upon British
trawlers in the North Sea by the Rus
sian second Pacific squadron were sup
piled by Premier Balfour in a speech
delivered at the National Union OF
Conservative Clubs at Southampton
last night The ascertainment of the
facts for submission to q commission
formed under the rules of the Hague
Conference will be through the coro-
ners inquest at Hull, we investigator
by the British board of trade and the
examination of officers of the Russian
ships which fired upon the fishermen.
In his speech Mr.. Balfour ridiculed
the official explanation of Admiral
Rojestvensky, but praised the spirit
in which the Russian Emperor ana
government had met the crisis. In
both Russia and Great Britain the pre-
Vailng feeling is one of relief that
there no longer seems to be danger
of war between the nations.

account is correct ROjestvensky's or
the trawlers. Mr.. Balfour plainly said
that Thursday evening. Russia and
Great Britain seemed to be on the
brink of a war, and yet gave the
frankeSt praise to the attitude pre-
served throughout by the Emperor and
the Russian government. While the
premier was unable to praise the Pa
cfic attitude of the government too
highly he bitterly assailed RoJest-
vensky's report, declaring that it was
an insult to Great Britain as a. neu-
trail nation and ridiculed its proba-
bility. The immense audience re-
ceived Mr. Balfour's announcement of
the settlement of the affair with un-
bounded enthusiasm which was
echoed throughout the kingdom when
the evening extras appeared and set
suspense at rest.
An Eyentful Day.
The day was an eventful one in the
metropolis. The population stirred
by flaring headlines in the morning
newspapers seemed convinced that
war was inevitable The cabinet
meeting which was held at noon serv-
ed TO increase rather than allay
anxiety. Throughout the country
there has spread deep-rooted, though
perfectly erroneous idea that Great
Britain had given Russia a time limit
in which to reply and Charley
Beresford, Englands naval idol was
on the spot. Many indeed, thought
it was only a question of hours when
he would be demolishing Russian
ships. Without the least national de-
sire for war, great naval excitement
had been worked up. In the streets
tonight many expressions of disap-
pointment might be heard because the
crisis had not developed into HOSTILE
ties This merely voiced, the opinion
Of the thoughtless, which comprised a
considerable section of the public. No
further difficulties are expected.
Foreign Minister Lansdowne and
Ambassador BenckendOrff probably
will be able to decide the constitution
of the international commission and it's
date of sitting. In view of the cir
cumstances neither Japan or Spain is
likely to object to the temporary
prolongation of the stay vf the sec
ton of the second Pacific squadron
at Vigo, and the inquiry will be ex-
pedited as much as possible.
