countries almost to the point Of breaking. IL IL
difficult to write calmly of the amazing CLAIMS
which these gentlemen advance in the name OF
the United States. but we trust that the pro-
posed commission will be politely. but firmly, re-
quested TO pun sue their inquiries ON the 1ar size
Of the Schomburg line
THE St Jamess Gazette says: THE claims
I set up by Mr. Cleveland and Mr.. Olney are so
exaggerated and their language is so offensive

be a similar explosion of violence in Great
Britain"

It's comments on President Cleveland's message
regarding Venezuela. says: There Is no doubt
that the President wrote with an eye to the cleo
tons. but there is no going behind the unequivo-
cal announcement In which he contemptuously
brushes aside Lord Salisbury's bubbles. The
next move In thu game is Engands. and ii is
