London, Oct 28. War between Russia and Great Britain will be avert ed by the settlement of the points In dispute being referred to an Interna tlonal commission under The Hague convention. Premier Balfour, speaking at a meet lug of the National Union of Conserva tive Clubs at Southampton tonight, broke the silence which had so long been preserved and which brought the people of the United Kingdom to a condition of almost desperate irri tation, and had given rise to the mis conceptions which Baffour tonight ex pressed. "The Russian ambassador," said Balfour, "ha authorised a statement to the following effect: , "The Russian government on hearing of the North sea Incident, at once ex pressed profound regret and also prom ised, liberal compenaatton. The Rus sian government ordered the deten tion at Vigo of that part of the fleet concerned In the Incident, In , order that the naval authorltlea 'might as certain what officers were' responsible, and that Inquiry be Instituted by an international commission, as provided by The Hague convention." Balfour said this agreement was not arbitration; it is the constitution of an International commission In order to Read what they say about MONARCH RANGES They and many others have tested them. Call and let us ex plain to you their merits Easy pay ments. YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD. 4 sin it ni It ! find out the facts. Any person found guilty would be tried and punished adequately. The Russian government promised that precautions would be taken to guard against recurrence of such Incidents. Apology and compen sation having already been offered. nothing now remained but to determine which account was correct Rojeatven sky's or the trawlers'. Balfour plainly said that Thursday evening Rusala and Great Britain seemed on the brink of war. While the premier was unable to praise the pacific attitude of the Russian govern ment too highly, he bitterly assailed Rojestvensky's report, declaring it an Insult to Great Britain as a neutral na tion, and ridiculed its probability. : The Immense audience received Bal four a announcement of settlement of the affair with unbounded 'enthusiasm. The day waa an uneventful one in thf metropolis. The population, stirred by flaring headlines In the morning newspapers, seemed convinc ed that war was Inevitable. The cabi net meeting held at noon served to Increase rather than allay the anxiety, Throughout the country there has been spread a deep-rooted idee, that Great Britain had given Russia a time limit in which to reply, and that "Charley" Beresford. England's naval Idol, waa "on the spot." Many, indeed, thought it only a question of hours when he would be demolishing the Rus sian ships. Without the least desire for war, great national excitement hid been worked up. In the streets tonight many expressions of disappointment were heard because the crisis had not developed Into hostilities. ' No further differences are expected. Foreign Minister Lansdowne and Am bassador BenckendorR will probably be able to decide the constitution of the International commission and its date of sitting, In view of these clrcum stances, neither Japan nor Spain Is likely to object to temporary prolonga tion of 'the 'stay of the section of the second Pacific Squadron at Vigo, and the Inquiry will be expedited as much as possible.

Leong Tip, one of the best knowr looosaasantu jf i i ai H merchants of Chinatown, yesterday de clared himself to be heartily In favor of the anti-queue movement. Yip stated to a reporter that he ex;cted the new order of thing would b?come effective next year, and that he had no doubt queues would be ve-y gwrernMy dispensed with, lie believed Febru ary would be the time for the change, no that the Chinese mlicftt take on an American .appearance by th-tfme .h v.imiie new iear roiieq aroii'Vl.; lip said he wanted to" be the second Cr f nese to cut off his cueue, In ragtlnlu English, he Instated that, - whenever any other Chinaman - removed his queue, he, too, would visit the barber shop. - Tugging disgustedly at the long braid that hung down his bark. Tip said he was very tired of ths old fashion and would welcome tni change. He went on to explain that his chil dren were attending the public ch6l, dressing like American children, and that it was decidedly distasteful to him to follow a custom so radically different His queue, he declared, was no worse than the oriental blouse which he wore, and both should, he added, be relegated to the Umbo of uselesaness. He added that all pro gressive Chinese would follow the ex ample, and expressed the belief that another year would see many queue less Chinamen. ALWAYS AHEAD. Americsn the Champion Meat-Eaters of the World. Despite the fact that the census re ports show Americans . are steadily drifting toward vegetarianism, we are still the greateat meat eaters In the world. Our meat still costs us every year $100,000,000 more than our vege tables (including Imported vegetable foods). In the aggregate we Ameri cans pay every year about t2.250.000,- 000 for food, or about $30 a year (for the raw food) for each person. ' In addition J to the foregoing It may Interest you ta know "that, amontf Ihe meat foods the egg bill ($143,300,000) is greater than that for any other Item except cattle ($432,800,000), and sheep ($170,000,000); and that , the bill tor milk, butter and cheese ($122,000. 000) Is nearly four times as large as that for fish, oysters, and all 'other sea foods.
