London Newspapers INDIGNANT.

London. Feb PA strong chord OF
Indignation is sounded by the London
daily newspapers this morning over
the semi-ofiicial statement relative to
the decision OF the North Sea commits
sion giving to Russia the victory, but
II is still hoped that the publication
Of the full text of the commission
report may modify the impression
produced by the preliminary version.
which is one of Intense disappoint-
ment
The Daily Mail goes so far as to de
clare that the decision has dealt a
death blow to arbitration. Some Of the
newspapers blame the government
strongly for ever consenting TO subject
such a matter to arbitration, while
some of the government organs find
cold comfort in the fact that the coun-
try by so doing avoided war with Rus
STA. No question is raised that the de
cision must be respected. and Great
Britain's share OF the heavy costs will
be ruefully paid; but It is considered
that the decision leaves the question
Of a neutrals right on the high sea In
a deplorably unsatisfactory state and
creates a dangerous precedent

came as the official representative OF
Emperor William and received the de-
gree OF doctor of laws for him, was

fusiye than that Of the president. The

lunged applause, and the battle cry OF
Old Penn made the walls shake
Provost Harrison led the procession
OF guests to the tage.swhich included
Governor Pennypacker DR.. S. Weir
Mitchell. the public orator, and the
recipients of degrees. The honor men

His Squadron Was Endangered
and Acted Right Under the Cir

Paris. Feb. % - A semi-ofhclaI
statement appeared relative To the
work of the international commission
which has been considering the North
Sea incident. II is as follows
The Hull commission met In the
ministry OF foreign AFFAIRS in order 10
proceed To final examination OF the
report recapitulating It's conclusions
The report is rather long. comprising
about 10 large pages. The principal au-
thor is Admiral Won Spaun (AustrianJ,
but all the members OF the commission
collsborated in drawing 1t up. The
commission gives no opinion on the
question OF the presence or absence OF
japanese torpedo boats In the North
Sea. declaring merely that the Russian
admiral quite legitimately believed
that his squadron was endangered.
and that he had the right under the
circumstances TO act as he did. The
commissioners refer 20 the Russian
governments engagements to indem-
nifty the victims OF the deplorable in
cident
The report will be sent by special
messengers 10 the Russian and British
governments. not because 1t Is liable
TO notifications at the instance OF one
or other of the governments, the com
missions decision being without ap
peal; but the commissioners do not
wish the powers interested to simply
learn through the press OF the last
public sitting and the conclusions ar
rived at. There is nothing in this pre-
iminary communication or report eX-
cept an act of Difference
The public sitting for the reading
of the conclusions will probably be
held on Saturday. The admirals Will
not be in full uniform. The proceed
ings probably will be closed by a
speech of thanks by Admiral Fourier
(the president of the commission to
his colleagues.
Members of the commission who
were seen refused either to confirm or
deny the statements; but officials hav-
ing favorable opportunities to Judge
of the results OF the inquiry consider
