PROGRESS ( SATISFACTORY
England and Russia Are Elaborating
Details of Investigation.
London , Nov. 3. The negotiations
between the British nnd Russian gov
ernments In regard to the Interna
tional commission , which la to Inves
tigate the North sea Incident , are pro
gressing apparently to the satisfac
tion of both sides. The foielgn of-
floe stated to the Associated Press
tthtt nothing had been definitely set
tled regarding the personnel , dnto or
plnce. The foreign ofllco ndded that
Invitations win ho sent to several
powers to send representatives , butte
to which powers and what representa
tives is yet undecided. So far as at
present decided , Admiral Sir Cyprian
Bridge will sit only nt the board of
trade inquiry nt Hull. The foreign of-
flco further stntcd that It knows of
no hitch In the proccedlnes.
It Is now regarded ns almost cer
tain the commission will sit In.Paris.
Some of the morning newspapers
consider the fact that Russia was not
represented at the coroner's Inquest
at Hull as a virtual admission of her
inability to controvert the fishermen's
plain , unvarnished story of the North
sea affair.
It Is announced from Gibraltar that
the experimental land and sea mobil
ization Is now completed. According
to stories , this alarming experiment
was the outcome of new Ideas which
Admiral Sir John Fisher has taken
to the admiralty. His contention Is
that tests In times of peace are much
less valuable than when "war Is In
the air. " Accordingly , the Chronicle
says , he seized upon the Incidents of
Tuesday as a psychological opportun
ity to test the nerves , as well as the
Bkill and efficiency , of the forces.
It Is reported that the Channel ,
Mediterranean and East Indian squad
rons have received Instructions to
shadow Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet
throughout Its progress. Rojestven-
sky Is expected to arrive at Tangier
today.
The Dally Mall. In a letter from
Hakodate , describes Japanese schoon
ers as returning with valuable car
goes of furs , as a result of raiding
the Russian fishing station nt Kam
chatka Commander and other Island
rookeries. There had been fierce
fighting with the Russians and many
were killed on both sides In one
case , after a fight lasting three days
the Russians captured three Japanese
vessels , killing half their crews and
taking the remainder prisoners.
No News From Mukden.
St Petersburg , Nov 3 There Is
considerable anxiety here over the
military situation. No late news has
been received from Mukden , General
Snkharoff on Nov 2 merely Indicating
that matters were at a deadlock
around Shakhe The Japanese have
made some tentative moves on both
fiar.Ks. which were checke-1 but there
are no sign ? yet of n general ndvnnco
bv their army Foreign reports from
Port Arthur are decidedly gloomy
While the authorities continue to pro
fess confidence In General Stoessel's
abl'.ity to hnM out , the popular feelIng -
Ing Is that the heroic garrison which
already has made n historic defense
must now be near the limit of human
endurance.
French Treaty Concluded.
Washington , Nov. 3. The French
arbitration treaty , concluded Tues
day , will be followed by a treaty with
Italy , which It Is expected will be
ready for signature early next week
The French treaty , while not yet ratl
fled by the senate , and consequently
not In force , Is believed to be so
carefully framed as to Insure favor
able action In the last stage. If thl
is so , It wilt be the first arbitration
treaty of general scope to which tha
United States has been a party.
