FINDING , OF COMMISSION
| _
Semi-Official Statement Shows Trend
of Verixt*-Gre.; Disappointment
in London.
A Paris special says: A semi-official
announcement appeared Wednesday
relative to the work of th e interna¬
tional commission, which has been
considering the North Sea incident. It
is as follows;
“The Hull commission met this
morning in the ministry of foreign
affairs, and agabtAUii.-. afternoon, in
order to xiroceed fo a final examina¬
tion of the report recapitulating its
conclusions. The report is rather long
and comprises about ten large pages.
The principal au ! $ior is Admiral Von
Spaur, Austrian tut all the members
of the commission collaborated in
drawing it up. The commission gives
no opinion on the question of the pres¬
ence or absence of Japanese torpedo
boats in the North Sea, declaring
merely that the Russian admiral le¬
gitimately believed that his squadron
was endangered, and that he had the
right tinder the circumstances to act
as he did. The ommlssioners refer
to the Russian government’s engage¬
ments to indemnity the victims of the
deplorable incident.
The report will be sent by special
messengers to the Russian and Brit¬
ish government, not because it is sub- j
| jeet to modifications at the instance of
one or the other of the governments,
the commission’ decision being with
L 4,
out appeal, but the commissioners do
not wish the powers interested to
learn through thi press of the last
public sittings and the conclusions
reached. There is nothing in this pre¬
liminary communication or report ex¬
cept an act of Reference.’’
The public. ' f or the reading
ii ’ ti twnrrofy be’
held on Saturday. The proceedings
probably will be closed by a speecn
of thanks by Admiral Fournier, pres¬
ident of the commission, to his col¬
leagues.
Mtembers of the commission who
wore seen Wednesday refused either
to confirm or deny the foregoing
statement, but officials having favor¬
able opportunities to judge of the re¬
sults of the inquiry regard the state¬
ment as substantially correct.
A London special says: A strong
chord of indignation is sounded by
the London daily newspapers Thurs¬
day morning over the semi-official
statement relative to the decision of
the North Sea commission giving to
Russia the victory, but it is still hoped
that the publication of the full text
cf the commission’s report may modi¬
fy the impression produced by the
preliminary version, which is one of
Intense disappointment.
The Daily Mail goes so far as to
declare that the decisfon has dealt,
a death blow to arbitration. Some of
the newspapers blame the government
strongly for ever consenting to sub¬
ject such a matter to arbitration,while
some of the government organs find
cold comfort in the fact that the
country by doing so avoided war with
Russia.
No question is raised that the deci¬
sion must be respected, and Great
Britain’s share of the heavy costs will
be ruefully paid; but it is held that
the decision leaves the question of a
neutral’s right on the sea in a deplor¬
ably unsatisfactory condition and cre¬
ates a dangerous precedent.

Railway traveling, observes The
Tatisr, is getting old fashion: i; the
up-to-date millionaire goes every¬
where nowadays by motor. Mrs.

King, claims to have the most perfect
machine yet invented in which she in¬
tends to make the long journey from
Paris to Rome this month. This mar¬
velous car is fitted with every imagin¬
able convenience, including revolving
chairs and movable tables, so that
mtals can be served while cn the
read. Mrs. Mackay is also credited
with having the most beautiful fiat
in Paris, if not in the world. It cov¬
ers the center fleer of one of the big
buildings in the Bois, and the spa¬
cious hall is like the gorgeous inte¬
rior of some Eastern palace, with
priceless treasures in every nook and
corner. The great drawing room Is

Broke Six, Not Half a Dozen.
A Germantown family has for its

English language.
Wfien a newly bought consignment
of tumblers disappeared within a

take her to task, and the following
dialogue ensued:
“Sure, mum, and how many of them
glasses was I after Freakin'?”
“Six, Mary.”
“And how many did ye buy?”
“Half a dozen, Mary.”
“Ah-ha, mum, and sure it was me¬

At 6 o'clock Thursday, ninety-two bod¬

mines, and the rescue work contin -
ues.
The foul odors from the decomposing 1
bodies have now become so unbear¬
able that the rescuers work In short j
l
relays, and hundreds of pounds of !
disinfectants have to be used to make I
further work possible.
Fifty-live funerals were conducted !
in the suburbs of Birmingham, dur¬
ing the day, ail of which were for vie- |
tims of ihe awful disaster.
It is estimated that there are, at
least, twenty-five more bodies to be
taken cut, and the rescuers have to
finish up the “level” they are now on, !
and open one more “level.”
There are three bodies in the hot- 1
tom of the lowest level, which it is
expected will require at least ten days .
to reach.
The bodies are those cf the pumper
and his assistants. They are covered j
with water, and since the pumping j
sion, machinery it will was ruined much by longer the explo time j
