ARBITRATION is THE PLAN.
Feature of Presidents Proposal te
Baron De kosen.


Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 21-It is
announced that Lne feature of the
proposition of President Roosevelt,
communicated through Baron de Ro-
sen to M. White, and by the latter to
the emperor of Russia, was based on
the principle of arbitration. Whether
the president cOntemplates arbitration
of all Of the articles on which the plen-
ipotentiaries have failed to agree or
only on the question of indemnity can
not be stated with positiveness, but it
is more than probable that it relates
only to indemnity or to indemnity and
the cession of the island of Sakhalin.
Neither is it possible to say whether
the president has yet made similar
proposal to Japan. The customary
diplomatic proceedings in such a case
would be to submit the proposal stimuli
taneously to both countries, but there
might be an advantage in securing the
adherence of one before submitting it
to the other. To Emperor Nicholas,
the author of The Hague peace confer
ence, the suggestion of arbitration,
which will necessarily Immediately
command the sympathy of the public
opinion of the world, will be particu-
larly hard to reject. If he agrees,
Japan, if she has not already done
so, will be all the more bound to sub
NIT her claim to the decision of an
impartial arbitrator.
Acceptance by both sides would in
volve a great extension of the princi-
pie of arbitration, as nations have
heretofore declined to arbitrate on
questions involving their ''honor and
dignity" Both Mr.. Takahira and M.
Witte, in the early stages of the con-
ference, absolutely rejected the idea
of arbitration, and only yesterday both
reiterated their disbelief in such So
luton. 1t was noticed, however, that
NJ. Whites opinion was not expressed
as strongly as it was last week.
