aneee minister at The Haue would bo
produced in Hie court ol irtqulry into
the recent North sea allUir to prove the
existence of a plot to destroy the Uus-
elan Keltic Heel. Theie la said to no
good gioiuut tor believing the report to
be true, and there are many indies
tions that the Hneslsu government lias
been lone in possession ot strong evi
dence of a Japanese plan to interepl all
of Admiral Kojestvensky'a warship.
This explains the willingness ol una-
sia to submit the case to international
arbitration. She would scarcely have
ptopoeed this course unless convinced
she had n stiong case.
It also develop that hmpetor Nich

Ambatmdor llardinge declared In Uie

Japanese torpedo boats in the Notth

extraordinary ptecautions adopted by
the Danish government in detailing
warships to escort the Baltic sea fleet

Another remarkable story Is current
in well informed circles to the effect
that two balloons were seen hovering
over the Skagerack while tho Ilussian
fleet entered the North sea. Thoio
were said to have been manned by Jar
nneee. with tho object ot watching the
Russians and possibly dropping explo
sives. No hint of suspicion is expected In
any responsible quarter that the Brit
ish government was in the slightest de
gree or in any WAy tesponsible for the
alleged machinations of the Japanese
aeents. On tho contrary, officials cir
cles express the Inchest praise lor the
conduct of the British government
throughout the North sea incident.
It is thoroughly appreciated here that
the activity of the British fleet was
necessitated by public opinion And was
in no wise intended to cosree Russia
