AGREED TO REPORT
WORK or NORTH SEA COMMISSION
 PRACTICALLY ENDED.
Decision VIII Be Far More Favorable tO Great Britain Than that Country Has Been Led
 to Believe.

Paris, Feb. 23.-The international Commission appointed to inquire into the North Sea incident practically con- cluded it's work tonight by finally agree ing to the report which will be pub. llcly announced at the closing session to be held at o'clock next Saturday. Concerning the geperal nature of the report the following statemene was made in a most authoritative quarter to the Associated Press
 When the text of the decision be- comes known 1t will be far more ac- ceptable to the British press and public than they have been led to believe. The semi-ofiicial summaries appearing, while more or less accurate. tend too strong ly to show Russian success. but aa a matter of fact the arbitrator have sought a middle ground and tho deeisien is not a pronounced victory for either side. It is of such a character to pre- serve Russian self-respe.,t and at the same time give the British public much ground for satisfaction. If anything the decision is rather more fav0rable to Great Britain thstl Russia. z
 On the other hand the Havas Agency tonight confirms it's semi olf.Iai state- ment of last night. It says:
 ''rhe conclusions az wh1fe are quite favorable to Russ recognizing that Admiral RpJestvensify cohl1 legitimate ly consider himself in danger and act as he did. However. the report con- tains reservations calculated to satisfy British susceptibilities, the most inf- portant being that the commission claims the Russian fire lasted too long and also that Rojestvensky should have speedily notified the British maritime authorities of the depIorable incident
 Upon the question of the presence of torpedo boats the commission frees ail navies from the imputation.
 'The commission rejected motion of Admiral Beaumont (Great Britain) blaming the Russian crews.
 The conclusions are said to be in the form of questions whereto the com missioners state their answers unani- mously or as a majority"
 The American officials are strongly inclined to accept the view of the first statement that the decision Is more favorable to Great Britain than to Rus sia.
 The three admirals gave a banquet tonight in honor of the presiding ofl- cer, Admiral Fournier, (France.) The latter will return the Compliment on Saturday. President Loubet will give q luncheon in honor of the commission at the Elysee Palace Sunday.

The resolution. introduced by Repre- sentative Lamb of Virginia, was voted for by the Military Affairs Com imously adopted tt amid enthusiasm.

 Defemmesn Case Closed
 After ofrering a few other dncu- meats, Mfr. Higgins announced the close of the case for the defense. Only two witnesses were called in rebuttai. They were E. T. Davis and c. W. Prior. both of Pensacola. Their testimony related to the Davis-Belden contempt cases and in both instances was brief. A few papers were presented as evi- dence by the prosecution. and when the last of these had been received at 9:s0 D. m. Mir, Palmer announced the termination of the presentation of tes- timony.
 . sThat's our case. said Mir. Palmer. and he had scarcely taken his seat when Mir. Thursten addressed the chair. He made a proposition to sub init the case without argument. If agreeable to the learned managersi of the House

 MT. olnsted accordingly took the floor for the prosecution. To him had been assigned the duty of opening the discussion. He dwelt upon the scope of the jurisdiction of Congress in impeachnent proceedings and out lined the acts that may be punished by impeachment He contended that acts for which an official may be impeached are not necessarily official in charac- ter. He charged Judge Swayne with crimes outside his ofiice and also said that that oiilcfal had been guilty of notable misdemeanor and high crimes relating to his ofElce and urged his conviction on both statements of fact.

Defendant Carriers UnlawfuIly Pooling
 Fruit Trafac.

Fruit Traffic.
 Washington. Feb. 23.--The Inter- state Commerce Commission in an opinion by Commissioner Clements to- day rendered its decision in the Cali fornia orange cases brought by the Southern California Fruit Exchange and the Consolidated Forwarding Com pany against the Southern Pacific and the tAtchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad systems in which 1t holds that the defendant carriers are unlaW- fully engaged in pooling the trafic in citrous fruits originating in Southern California and carried by them and their connections to Eastern markets: that the defendants, by compelling the shippers to pay icing charges as es- tabiished by the private car lines, have made such charges part of the cost of transportation and subject to regula- tion under the law and that the rate on oranges in car loads from Southern California to points on and east of the Missouri River are unreasonable and unjust The rate on lemons is held to be reasonable and present re- frigeration charges are held to be not unreasonable.
 This decision by the Commission is on a question reserved in a former de- cision by the Commission in the same cases, which prohibited carriers from delivering to shippers of citrous fruits from California to Eastern markets the Tight of directing over which Of the es- tablished lines the shipment should be carried.
 Chairman Knapp dissents from Gne decision. The Chairman says that in several important particulars the fig- ures in the majority report do not ac- cord with his understanding of the proofs while the inferences therein drawn are not warranted. in his judg- mefit. by due consideration of all the facts and circumstances entitled to be taken into account; and further that even if the specific findings in the ma jority opinion be accepted as a. fact ana adeauate summary of the facts ma he is $.
