Work of The Hague Conference. THE HAGUE, June 17.-—The drafting scheme, which should have met yester- day, adjourned its sitting to Monday next. The ostensible reason for the ad- journment was the absence of Baron Es- tournelles dc Constant of the French delegation, who drew up the minutes. It is possible, however, that the delegates had not ' received sufficient instructions from their respective governments to make further progress. The delegates do not regret the oppor- tunity of a few days more time to delib- erate. .The difficulty now chiefly consists in reconciling a scheme of the other pow- ers with the view of Germany, but the prospect is more hopeful. "Even if no agreement should be reach- ed, an arbitration organization will nev- ertheless be arranged and will remain open to such of the powers as are not able to sign now. In the meantime every effort will be made to meet the German views. I The naval section, first committee, met and received the report of Count Soltyk.
