[press association.] , (Received February 28, 7.35 a.m.) LONDON. February 27. Commenting on the North Sea Commissioners' report, the Daily Express says iiie equilibristic performance is political md not judicial.

The Telegraph believes that the palliations neither strengthen nor diminish '.he significance of 'the finding. The chronicle is of opinion that England is victorious on the facts and Russia on me conclusions.

The Daily News thinks compensation must follow, and the precedent is certain to influence the world's history. The Daily Mail considers the tone of ute report lias the full effect of condemnation of Russia.

Tho Japanese press ridicule the findh.g as a conclusion without a premiss, and which is calculated to discredit the international Courts. The Russian press amplify the comp'iments and minimise the censures. The public is disappointed.

The American press is sarcastic over the determination to whitewash Russia.

Admiral Davis considers the report practically sustains all the English case. The Temps regards the report as wholly opportunist and perhaps fictitious, and the Bepublique Francaisc says England practically wins.
