Unanimously Recommended Committee to the Peace Conference. by PARTISANS OF PEACE VICTORY The Text of the American Proposals for Arbitration Differs from the British Proposals Disarmament Com , mittee Palled to kg ree. By Cable to the Morning Star. The Hague, May 31. Both sessions of the disarmament committee met to day and, as was anticipated, failed to agree with regard to me question of new inventions of armaments.

The plan differs from the British proposal, ft ijiuviu.es tuui aca couniry snail ap point a sinsrle arbitrator, to he stnlwton by the supreme courts of the Signatory powers. The tribunal : shall have a permanent central seat "and be com posed of at least three judges, who shall not be natives or residents of couutries belonging to the powers in disaccord. The general expenses shall be shared proportionately. In the event of new facts arising within three nfbnths of a decision, the same tribunal shall have power to try7 again the questions in dispute.' ' Recourse to the tribunal shall be optional7 for the signatory powers. The tribunal shall not take cognizance of any dispute until assured that the parties concerned will accept its decision. . The convention shall come into force and the tribunal be established when nine powers, eight of whom shall be European-or American, and four of whom shall be signatories to the de claration of Paris, 1855, shall have ad- nereu to me convention, Apart from the above project, the Americans proposed a special scheme of mediation, providing that in the event of a difference arising between the two powers, each shall choose an other power to act as its second. The powers thus selected shall do all they can to-reconcile the opponents. These seconding powers shall, even when war has broken out, continue their ef forts with a view to endinsr hostilities as soon as possible. American Proposals. The text of the American arbitration proposals is as follows: Resolved. That in order -fa aA in the prevention of armed conflicts by" pacific means, the representatives of the sovereign powers assembled to gether in this conference be and they hereby are requested to propose to their respective governments a series of negotiations' for the adoption of a general treaty, havinc for i the following plan, with such modifi cations as may be essential to secure the adhesion of at least nine sover eign powers, four of whom at least shall have been sis-natories nf th !.. laration of Paris, the German errmirA being, for this purpose. th simucnx of Prussia, and the kingdom of Italy the successor of Sardinia. Articl&l. The tribunal shall he com posed of persons nominated on ac count of their personal integrity and learning in international- law by a majority of the highest courts at the time existing in each of the adhering states, one from each sovereign state participating in the treaty, and shall hold office until their Successors ara nominated by the same body and duly appuiuteu. Article 2. The tribunal shall meet for organization at a time and place to be agreed upon by the several govern ments, but not later than sir" months after the general treaty shall be rati fied by the nine powers as hereinbefore proposed and shall organize itself by the appointment of a permanent clerk and such other officers as may be found necessary, but without conferring any distinction upon its own members. The tribunal shall be empo wered to fix its place of session and to change the same from time to time, as the interests of justice or tho convenience of lit?- gants may seem to require, and to fix its own rules or procedure. Article 3. The tribunal shall be of permanent character and shall be al ways open for the filinc of new raws subject to its own rules of procedure.' eitner by the contracting nations or by others that may choose to suhmit them ; and all cases, and counter cases, with the testimony and arguments by which they are to be supported or an swered, are to be in writing or print.

Article 6. The eeneral expenses of the tribunal are to be equally divided upon some equitable bases between the adherent powers; but those arising irom eacn particular case snail be pro vided for as may be directed by the tribunal.

Article 8. This treaty shall become imperative when nine sovereign states, such as are indicated in J,he resolu tion, shall have ratified its provisions. The American Scheme Endorsed. London, June 1. The special dis patches from The Hague to the London morning papers agree that the Ameri can scheme meets with much favor as being eminently practical. According to the correspondent of the Daily News the arbitration committee has unanimously recommended the American scheme to the conference. The correspondent of the Daily News adds: "This is a speedy and brilliant victory ror tne partisans of peace, as nobody doubts that the conference will ratify the unanimous vote of the committee." - NICARAGUA CANAL COMMISSION'S REPORT. Estimated That a Canal Can be Built for $118,113,790 On the Route Recommended. : I Br Telegraph to the Hornlnz Star. Washington,' May SI. The State Department to day' made public an official abstract of the report of the Nicaraguan Canal Commission, as pre sented by Admiral Walker, the head of the commission. The synopsis says: . 'The commission made a careful study of all data bearing upon the Nicaraguan Canal question and or ganized a large force, i "Much delay to the work and great annoyance to working parties was caused by attempts at revolution and by the, strained relations between the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The outbreak of the war be tween the United Slates and Spain was also a serious matter. 'The report goes into minute details in respect to all questions connected with the construction of the canal, and says after mature deliberation the' commission has adopted and estimated for the route from Brifa to Tto .Nicaragua, called Child's route, and from the lake to Grey town, called Lull route. This vjine leaving Brito fol lows the left bank of the Rio Grande to near Beuno Retiro, crosses the western divide to the valley of the La Jas, which it follows to Lake Nicaragua. Crossing the lake to the head of the San Juan river it follows the upper river to near Boca San Car los, thence in excavation by the left bank of the river to the San Juanillo and across the low countrv to Grev- town, passing to the northward of Lake ico. It requires but a sincle dam with reeulatinar works at both p.nrla nf me summit level. The surveys have in general revealed, better phy sical conditions than were hitherto supposed to exist, especially as to the amount or rock in the ! upper river. wnereoy it is possible to greatly re duce the estimated cost of construc tion. lo determine the proper unit prices for excavation, the average of prices actually paid to contractors on the Chicago drainage canal, which represent cost of plant, prices paid for woric none, and contractors' profits. were taken. To these prices certain percentages ere added for the differ ejice in location, climate, etc. In obtaining the estimates for the cost of locks, the prices actually paid for building the government locks at Sault Ste. Marie were taken and 34 per uenu was anoea tor me difference of location. After giving due weight to all the elements of this important question. and with an earnest desire to reach logical conclusions, based upon sub stantial facts, the commission believes that a canal can be built across the isthmus on this route for not exceed ing $118,113,790." Colonel Haines concurs generally with the views of the other members of the commission, but his estimate of the cost is 134,818,308, Relief In six Huri.
