RUSSIA UNABLE TO ACCEPT

DIFFICULTY EXPECTED TO BE OVERCOME. Genoa, May 15. The Russian note has been delivered, intimating that the Russians are unable to agree to the idea of two separate commissions on Russia. The British delegation says that the Russians have misunderstood the position, and expects that the difficulty will be removed by the explanations. THE AGREEMENT. “ALMOST AHRACULOUS.” Paris, May 15. Le Petit Journal says that the agreement reached at Genoa is almost miraculous, since it satisfies everybody. The French Government is satisfied because it obtains a postponement of the conference without the responsibility of a rupture. Mr Lloyd George is satisfied because in a month’s time, the conference will begin again at the Hague, under the form of a convention of Allied experts; and at the same time a commission of Russian experts will sit. That is what Mr Lloyd George wished. The Governments represented at the Hague will undertake to abstain from propaganda and all kind of aggression.
