following report: we advise our

London, Jan. IT, The Associated

tain definite proposals between the
United States and Great Britain for
the purpose of clearing up the out
standing differences between the
United States and Canada, have
reached a rather advanced stage so
that we'll informed circles not only
hope but believe that the approaching
meeting between Secretary Root and
Earl Grey, governor general of Cana
da, at Ottawa, will result in arranging
some If not all of the long pending
controversies. Although the visit is
officially desired as private no secret
is made in governmental quarters
that the real political outcome is ex-
pected as the visit follows exchanges
which have been going on between
Washington, London and Ottawa, in
which secretary Root first formulated
detailed plan of adjustment, which
upon it's receipt here, was forwarded
to Ottawa, the latter's reply having
only recently been received here.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 17.Dissatished
with the turn taken with the proposed
internal reforms for the navy, Minister
of Marine Admiral Birilef has rendered
his resignation and is awaiting its ac-
ceptance early next week. This inform
alton: was conveyed to the Associated
Press today by one of the adrrliral's
aids The retirement of Admiral Biri-
left is coincident with the temperance
of the emperor's former victory in the
far east. Admiral A1exoff, who, after
a season of deepest imperial displeasure,
again is in favor and probably will be
made president of the commission which
is to elaborate the navy reforms. The
downfall of Admiral Birileff, who is a
bluff sea dog, and who in the most ur-
conventional manner has rebuked relin-
quent officers, regardless of their inf1u-
ence at court, is due largely to opera
tons of the clique of drawing room sail
ors and others who have been opposing
any investigation into the. scandals of
the grand ducal regime.
