ITALY WILL ARbTRA1E
FRENCH SHIP SEIZURES
France Willing, But Wants
Turkish Prisoners Given
Back First.

PARIS, January 22.-The Italian gov
eminent has proposed to the French gov
eminent the submission to The Hague
tribunal of all the questions relative to
the recent seizure Of the French steam
ers Carthage and Manouba. A special
meeting of the cabineu1has been called for
this evening to discuss the proposition.
The question of the seizure of the
Carthage and the Manouba was brought
up in the chamber of deputies today,
when Hippolyte Laroche. republican
deputy from the department OF the

Compared to Trent Affair.
that of the British steamer Trent which,
In 1851. was seized by the United States
sloop San Jacinto. under the command
of Capt. Wilkes. because she was carry
ing the Confederate commissioners, Masor
and Slidell, to Europe.
NJ I4aroche declared that France should
be willing to go to The Hague tribunal,
which did not exist at the time of the
Trent affair. but that France should only
do SO after the Turks who were seized
by the Italians on board the Manouba
had been handed over to the French au-
thorities.
Italy Must Give Up Prisoners.
Premier Poincare on rising to reply was
greeted with round of applause from
all the benches, including those occupied
by the socialists and the royalists. After
tracing the history of the two seizures
NJ. Poincare declared that France was
ready to arbitrate, but only after the
Turks who had been taken from the
Manouba by the Italians were turned over
to France. Italy, he said, had already
promised to exercise greater care in the
future in dealing with foreign vessels.
In conclusion Premier Poincare ex-
pressed the opinion that the cordial rela-
tons existing between France and Italy
would not be disturbed.

CHINESE THRONE FIRM:
YIELDS ONLY TO FORCE
Decision Announced by I'm.
periaI PrinceS-Attitude
of United States.

PEkING, China, January 22-Another
meeting OF the princes of the imperial
clan, at which the empress dowager was
present took place today, but did not
reach any definite result. One of the
princes who participated in the confer
ence at the palace today informed the
Associated Press that the meeting was
firm in its opinion that the throne could
not abdicate unless 1t was driven to do so
by force.
Conservative Course Probable.
It is expected that the Washington
administration will follow the same con-
sentative course with respect to the
provisional republic of China that it
adopted in the case of Portugal before
that republic was established by the
adoption Of constitution and the regu-
lar election of president by the people.
The United States declined to formally
recognize the republic established by
the overthrow of the monarchical re-
gime headed by King Manuel until all
constitutional requirements were full
filled. All necessary business was con-
Quoted with the provisional govern
ment of Portugal, however. pending
the subsequent establishment of regu-
lar diplomatic relations.
Powers to Act in Concert.
Unless there is a radical change Of
plans. the same course is likely to be
adopted in the case of China, in accord
with the general understanding among
the various powers interested, that
they will act in concert and defer
recognition until the change of gov
eminent has been entirely effected and
the new order of things is firmly
established on a constitutional basis.
