While a com rlitff of American Importers was at the Ftite ivpntment to-day urging that tins (Internment act so as to secure to tUfm their right to net goods which Oer junv wishes to sell, word was received tlroush unotllciil channels that the Drlt Mi (Government has decided to make a t-n esslfn of considerable Importance to nrtriran cotton shippers, TVje developments Indicate on the est hand the Increasing pressure being prou:ht to bear on Washington In the Erection of mire vigorous action against f British order In council, and on the ether desire on the part of the British ta jllay American resentment of their policy rrs5ns Interested In cotton shipments to Germany said they had been advised thit the British Government Is about to offer to arbitrate Its dispute with the American cotton shippers regarding the prlte to be paid for cotton destined for Ctrmany but taken over by the British. A lerlous disagreement has arisen iltti regard to the price to be paid and pe British Government Is now making pirtal payments for cargoes seized tending a settlement of the controversy, j j; if uld that th'.s offer will be made ! through Ambassador I'ase at London. T6( cotton Involved is valued at 915. (00,000. (internment Not a Party. As the I'nlted States Government Is to: i party to the arrangements between the British authorities and the cotton ihtppers and as It regards the whole Brtish action In seizing ships as beyond the law. It Is not expected that the Gov ernment will be a party to the arbitra tion it Is suggested, however, that the Gov ernment mlitht unofficially lend Its good cftlces to assist the arrangements for an trbitratlon Just as (t has acted Infor mally In other matters growing out of the British order In council. V, Y .L u.T.t.i. ,., .-hould the British go so far as to offer . arbltiatlon of the entire question of the treatment of cotton, there Is little doubt that this Government would willingly accept, but there is nothing to Indicate thit the offer reported as coming from tv British applies to anything at Issue except the price to be paid for cotton taken from American ships. The committee of Importers, whose visit here to-day was the result of a meeting held in New York several days ago, expressed themselves as pleased !lh their talk with Secretary Lansing. They were assured that both Secretary Lansing and the President are deter mined to do all they can to relieve the ntuatlon of the Importers and secure ttsm in their rights. Mr Lansing expressed hope that favorable action on the part of the other Governments would result from the rep Mentations the United States Is about to make. .-.n,(00,000 In Good Held Up. The Importers' committee told Mr. Landing that about 160,000,000 worth of Hemun goods are Involved in their raees. The Germans wish to sell, and in many cases the goods are lying on the docks In Dutch ports, but shipment Is Impossible because the steamship com ptnles refuse to take goods-which the British authorities are practically cer tain to seize and detain. The Importers declare that this policy tyGre.it Britain contravenes their rights at American citizens both under Inter Mtlonal law and under treaty. Their tult left no room for doubt that the l.uIn.

The British Government has Insisted that It would pay only the contract price at which the cotton was sold. It Is paying on the basis of 10 cents a pound until the dispute Is finally settled. The average contract price was 12 cents, hut the -price of cotton In Germany to-day Is more than 15 cents.
