There will bo another meeting on Wednesday or Thursday for tho signing of the final protocol and conventions. All the powers will sign tha protocol, which Is merely a narrative of the proceedings, but how many will sign the conventions Is a mat ter of much speculation. It Is expected that many signatures will be deferred until tho home governments exnmlne the conventions. It la assumed that the American delegates will sign, subject to the Bonata's constitutional right to repudiate the signatures. It is doubt ed whother Sir Julian Pnuncefote. the headot the British delegation, will receive Instructions by the date of the final meeting. Tho protoool enumerates the conventions and declarations drown by tho oonferonce In the following terms: First A convention for thopaclflo settlement of International disputes.

The protocol then embodies the following expressions of opinion : First The conferenoe considers that the limitation nf military charges, which at pres ent oppress the world. Is greatly to bo desired for the lncroase of the material and moral wel faroof mankind. Second The confereneo oxpressos the opin ion that the question of the rights and duties of neutrals should be Inscribed on the pro gramme of a conference to be held at an early dato.

Fifth Tho conference has resolvod unan imously, with the exception of a few absten tions, that the following questtoas should be reserved for the examination ot future con ferences: 1. A proposal tending to declare the Inviolability of private property during war on land, and 2. A proposal regulating tho ques tion of tha bombardment of ports, towna and villages by naval forces. The American delegatea take exception to Article XXVII., binding the powers " as a duty" to appeal to tha arbitration trlhunal when quarrollers an threatening to use force. They desire to have the expression moJltled so that the United Btates may In no case be obliged to Interfere in European af fairs or vice versa.

Speaking to the correspondent to-day on the general results of the conference. Ambassador White, the headot the Americaa delegation, said: "The results are batter than I dared hope for at the beginning ot the conference.
