Portland's Largest, foremost Store Your Credit Is Good Here See Me About 8 1 "Credit Man," 3d floor TO PASS ON TRAWLER CASE Russia Likely to Name a French Naval Officer. GOOD PROGRESS IS MADE Developments Are Satisfactory to Both Nations Paris Js Likely to Be Meeting Place of the Commission. LONDON. Nov, 2. The negotiations be tween fhe British and Russian govern ments In regard to the International com mission which Is to investigate the North Bea incident are progressing, apparently, to the satisfaction of both sides. The For eign pfflce stated to the Associated Press this evening that nothing had yet been definitely sealed regarding the personnel, date or place, although the commission is lllkely to mee't in Paris. The Foreign Of fice added that Invitations will be sent to several powers to send representatives, 1ut to which powers and what representa tives is as yet undecided. So far as yet decided. Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge will sit only at the Board of Trade inquiry at HulL The Foreign Office further stated It knew of no hitch In the proceedings. The Associated Press understands that at the audience which Ambassador Har dinge had with Emperor Nicholas at Tsaresko-Selo, October 31. and the audi ence which King Edward granted to Am bassador Benkendorff yesterday, both sovereigns expressed satisfaction at the prospect of a satisfactory settlement. At the Russian Embassy tonight the As sociated Press was Informed that there had been no further developments; Both countries were elaborating the details of the commission, but there was no hitch in the proceedings. p. It was now regarded as almost certain that the ' commission will be composed of five naval officers, one Russian and one British, each power to choose another member, and the four to select a fifth. Russia has practically named Admiral Kasnakoff. Great Britain expressed her Intention of asking that a United States Naval officer sit on the commission, whereupon Russia announced that she would select a French officer. There is strong intimation that Great Britain will invite Admiral Dewey to be one of the commission. Officers of such character as those mentioned insure the acceptance of the findings of the commission by both countries and the world. Admiral Kasnakoff is one of the ablest officers in the Russian navy, and is a courtly man of conciliatory disposition and judicial temperament He has practically retired from active service. The high es teem In which he Is held at the Admiralty is shown by the fact that he was selected to be the Admiral to command the Rus sian squadron which went to New York on the occasion of the World's Fair cele bration In 1S93. The Associated Press can authoritatively announce that the basis for the British Russian agreement to submit the North Sea Incident to a commission insures an amicable settlement without a sequel. The understanding Is complete. In the heat of the excitement following the incident many false impressions ob tained credence abroad. Now -that the smoke has cleared away, it is possible to state that Great Britain disclaimed any Intention of trying to detain the Russian squadron, which could only bo Interpreted as a hostile act. It was never intimated to Russia that "Vice-Admiral Rojestven sky's recall would be demanded, and Great Britain never asked Russia to pledge herself to the punishment of any one. The British government fully real, ised that officers of the Russian squadron may have acted with excess of seal. The whole affair was a deplorable mistake, but as a result of the inquiry which will establish the facts each government is expected to take up action without de mands from either sldcf and no pledges have been requested or given by either country. t So far as future complications are con cerned,, the incident is regarded as closed. PRESS ASSAILS GOVERNMENT. If Wants No More "Surprise Mobil izations' Without Explanation. LONDON. Nov. 2. Yesterday's attack of nerves, due to misinformed statements in the London newspapers, has given way to extreme calm. The newspapers angrily assail the government for leaving London to wrestle with its fears all day long, when a word would have disposed of all the alarms, and they suggest that If the Admiralty would require Vice-Admiral Lord Charles Beresford to refrain from "surprise mobilizations" and other Interesting maneuvers during the next few days it would not only add to the tranquillity of the country, but would smooth the way to a final settlement of the dispute. Today's Cabinet meeting excited hardly the slightest interest on the part of the general public For the first time in many years the Ministers met at the Premier's residence, as Mr. Balfour is suffering from the blocking of a small, superficial vein in his left leg, requiring complete rest. All the Ministers were present. For eign Secretary Lansdowne coming In after having interviews with Ambassadors Benkendorff and Cambon, who were early visitors at Lansdowne House and the For eign Office respectively. The two Ambas sadors had previously met to discuss some points of detail in the formation of the international commission. The Cabinet sat for nearly two hours, the subject of discussion being details of the arrangements for the International commission. TORPEDO-BOAT IS MISSING. Russian Admiral May Find He Has Fired on His Own Boats. ALGIERS, Nov. 2. It is stated that one of the torpedo-boats of Admiral Rojest vensky's squadron is missing, the torpedo flotilla having put in at this port. This dispatch, if found to be founded on fact, would seem to bear out the reports which have been current for several days past that Admiral Rojestvenky fired on his own boats. The Admiral, in his explan ation of the Dogger Bank tragedy, stated that one of the torpedo-boats which he fired on disappeared, and It may bo that the boat now reported missing is the one sunk by a Russian shell.

Velvets come closest now to Fashion's heart velvets and rich laces their maids-in-Tvaitiner. Ye matron young, middle-aged or aged do ye not remember the vow of former years? 'Twas thus: "Some day I'll have a handsome velvet gown, with long, courtly train and rich trimmings of rare lace." But when the age of picturing childhood merged into the sterner years, velvets seemed almost too picturesque for practical American lives, so Mrs. Practical Style has put off getting the velvet gowns till velvets should be restored again to Fashion's royal favor.
