War between Rustle and Great Brllatn baa been averted and the eeltlement of tha only poinla la dispute regarding the attack by the Russian Second Pacific squadron on Britiah trawler on October 21st baa bees referred to an international com-- , mission under the Hague convention. Premier Balfour, speaking at a meeting of the National Union of Clubs, nt Southampton, broke the alienee which had had teen o long .preserved and nought the people of the United King-joito a condition of almost desperate irritation and had given rise to which Mr. Balfour tonight t, n npnaed. The Russian ambassador," said Ur. Balfour, "has authorised a statement the following effect: The Russian government, on hearing of the North 80s incident, nt once expressed Its profound regret and also promised must liberal compensation. The Russian government has ordered the detention at Vigo of that part of the fleet which was concerned In the Incident, In order that the naval authorities might ascertain what officers were responsible for it; that those officers and any material witnesses would not proceed on the voyage to the Far East; that Inquiry would be Instituted into the facts by an International commission as provided by the Hague convention.1 " Mr. Balfour said that this arrange-awn- t was not an arbitration; It was tha eoastitntioa of an International commission la order to find out the facte. Any person found guilty' would ha triad and punished severely and adequately. The Russian government issared that precsstkma would be taken against a raesmnee of the offense. Special Inunctions on this sflbject would he toto ssed. to this court, aald Mr. there would be a Coroner's at Hull over the dead fisher Ms, a board of trade Inquiry and an PrcUmiaary Bslfosr, isqusst PMse Russian officers at Vigo.. the Premier was unable to the pacific attitude of tha too highly, he 'bitterly as- sailed Rojastvenakya report, declaring that it was an insult to Great Britain a neutral nation, and he ridiculed Only this morning, ha aald, tha placards of tha Times and tha Daily Telegraph had flared through London, still no reply," totally Ignoring the fopit hat tha Russian government's heply had been announced by the Press early In tha week as was confirmed by Premier Balfour tonight. While all this fuora was going on, chiefly owing to tha public belief that Russia had refused to apologise, dlploamtio negotiations had bean proceeding smoothly. In view of Mr. Balfours scathing denunciation of Admiral Rojeatvensky It la interesting to note that in tha Ruaalan view he could be In no way held responsible, though ha haa generally aasumed the responsibility. Tha British public throughout the week has been crying fur Rojeatvensky head; but Ruasln has firmly pointed out, and Lord Lansdowne baa acquiesced, that ha la not one of those Individuals who could be described as directly concerned in the firing on the trawlers, being out of signal distance. "Thera never was," to quote Count Benekendorff, "any question of apology These were freeand compensation. ly conceded as announced by the Associated Prase early lu the week. The only approach to a hitch occurred in connection with n guarani re of punishment. When those differences appeared scute, the whole situation was changed by the appearance of report That was obviously made in good faith. It Is his subordinates, no doubt, who made tbe mistake; though even he la not Infallible." The greatest relief was exhibited in all diplomatic circles when the news of the settlement arrived. Aa haa beea stated in these dispatches, tha best Informed opinion never inclined to ths belief that war would ensue. In spite of the enormous naval preparations and the bellicose tendency of the press. The government's continued silence until now, and tbe grave aspect in which the affair was placed before the British public, are freely attributed In some quarters to political motive, the government desiring to strengthen itself In the eyes of the public on ths eve of s general election. The following la a part of Premier Balfour's speech: "If this meeting had been held yesterday evening I would not have dared to preface my remarks in a hopeful tone. Everybody felt that If the Are er Incident could be repeated a belligerent fleet was Indeed a peat against be which all neutral powers would bound to combine. The only version we had on Monday of tha lamentable Incidents of the previous Friday was tbs version supplied us by ths trawlers. the situation Thursday . morning changed, because for tba first lime we counter-storiehad supplied by ths Ruaalan admiral. fishermen there our ."la tha story of waa much tragedy but no romance. In tha story of the Ruaalan admiral, there la no tragedy but I am driven to the belief that there la much romanca. "It Is laspoasible to doubt which la tha correct story.

A vote of approval of Mr. Balfour's conduct of tha negotiations waa rally pasaed. St. Petersburg. Oct. 1. Midnight Thera was a feeling of profound relief tonight In high government spheres and diplomatic circles where the knowledge sxiated that lha grave crisis in the relations between Russia and Great Britain in view of the North Sea Incident has happily been averted. The pruceedure decided upon will definitely establish the facte end place tha responsibility upon the proper person The British government id face of en excited public opinion, which wee demanding the' most extra ms measures, proposed the Issue be submitted to s commission of the Hague connotably Neutral power vention. France and It believed, the United States, were using all their influence to avoid a world catastrophe. Definite eeauranee of a settlement came this afternoon, when the czar at an audience with Foreign Minister Lamsdorff announced hie complete and hearty approval of the plan for commission. Meanan International while orders had already been sent to Vigo to detain the ships which participated In the firing on the British trawlers until detailed smngemenu for proceed ur could be agreed upon. In the end both governments seem to hava been striving for the honor of proposing this method of settlement of the question at tosu The Russian public haa as yst had no intimation of the solution reached. During the past 47 hours ths people and the newspaper have been greatly aroused. Jingoism was rampant and the direct charge was repeatedly nmade that Great Britain was privy to contemplated attack on the second Pacwq countsquadron. The people, without even end ing the cost, talked lightly the Joyfully of the prospect of war with the traditional enemy nt whose doors public mind lays so many ef Russias difficulties. At no time was this feeling entertained in ihe higher responsible circles where the gravity of the It affair wa fullv realized and where waa believed that the honor of Rue-sidemanded the most complete and searching Inquiry to establish before the world whether a blunder had been committed and If so, to fix the responsibility. acMany officials of the navy blindly cept Admiral Rojestvensky's that he was attacked and all declare that he was Justified in exerof cising ths greatest caution.

The day was an eventful one In the metropolis. The population, stirred by flaring headlines in tha eon-vmw-d Burning newspapers, seemed that war was Inevitable. The meeting, which was held at mxm, served to Increase rather than Hay anxiety. Throughout the country there had spread a deep rooted though perfectly erroneous idea that Great Britain had given Ruaaia a time-l- t In which to reply and that Charley Beresford, Englands naval mol, was on the spot. Many, indeed, thought it waa only a question of hours hen he would be demolishing Russian hip. Without the least national desire for war, a great naval excitement had been worked up. In the streets to night many t expressions of might be heard because the crisis had not developed Into hostilities. This only voiced the opinion of he thought less, who comprised a section of the public. No further differences are exepected.
