Not Bnxard.s Business.

LONDON, Oct 21.-The Chronicle this
morning publishes an interview with
United States Ambassador Bayard in
which the latter is quoted as saying that
he had only very general ideas of the
latest phase of the Venezuelan trouble,
except what he had gathered from the
newspapers. His latest mission was an
endeavor of the friendliest character to
tier negotiations. Lord Salisbury had
listened to his arguments in the best
spirit. The delay of Lord SalSbury's
reply was doubtless due to the latter's
holiday and to the subsequent occupation
of the foreign Office. The many disputes
of the United States with Venezuela had
always been amicably arranged by a
board of Cancellation. and Mr.. Bayard
said he did not see why the same methods
and England. Lord Salisbury's demand
upon Venezuela for reparation, he added,
was quite outside his mission in the af-
fair.
Admits a Cold Fact.
The Daily Times OiberaD says in an
editorial: ct is little credit to dipIo-
macy that the Venezuelan question
should be so long unsettled. The success
sive British administrations have not
been perfectly consistent with themselves
or with each other. The most serious as
pect of the question is to be found in the
United States and the dispute will need
to be mana ged with the greatest tact and
temper on both sides, especially as there
Trinidad. In each case we shall have to
consider public sentiment in the United
States and to set an example OF modera-
ton and self control"

Arbitration Would BE "a sub4erfuge

Arbitration Would BE 81 Subterfuge.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Oficials at
the diplomatic corps in a position to
speak with a full understanding on the
Venezuelan question, after careful
reading of the official statement of
the British foreign Office, made public
in the Associated Press cables today,
say it is a decisive reflector of the
claims made by Venezuela and a mega
tive answer to the request of the
United States, that the subject be sub
mitted to arbitration.
The essential feature of the foreign
official statement is pointed to be:
Great Britain will not permit Vene-
zuela to overstep the line made by the
Amacura and Cuyuni rivers, but will
submit to arbitration other territory in
dispute 1t is stated that there is no
other territory in dispute, the British
denial of arbitration is comprehensive
and complete. The line made by the
Amacura and Cuyuni rivers is practi-
cally what is known as the Schom
burgh line. Included with it is all the
territory on the south bank and at the
mouth of the OrinOcO river. The Brit
ish already occupy the north bank, so
that the official assertion of this claim
to the south bank gives them entrance
to the great water way of South Amer
lea Included also within line Of the
two rivers is a large part-probably
half-of the tract recently granted by
Venezuela to the United States syndi-
cate.
Under the foregoing circumstances
the statement of the foreign Office is
said to sweep aside all the basis of
compromise or arbitration such as the
United States has urged, and 70 be a
final insistance of British sovereignty
over the essential territory at issue,
covering and commanding the south
hank of Orinono

ing the Distribution OF school Funds.
Madison, Wis, July 12.1[Special.l /
State Treasurer Peterson, when asked
today for an explanation of the delay in
the distribution of the school fund income
among the counties of the state, said it
was not delayed this year any more than
usual, though in view of reduced finances
it has been difficult task. Payments of
all counties except Milwaukee were COM
pleted last Monday, and three drafts ag-
gregating $4,000 have been sent there
this week and it is expected to send the
balance to make up the full amount of
about $4,000 before the end of the
week. Paying off such a large amount
of money. said the treasurer, is necessa-
rlly slow process. Since June 10 about
100000 of state money has been dis
tributed, over 100000 of this being of
the school fund income. 1--WE cannot
keep more than 100000 in the working
bank at one time and when the fund is
exhausted we have to draw on other de-
positories to create fund in the working
bank, and then draw drafts on this bank
to make payments. 1t is easily seen that
such large amount of money cannot be
paid out in day or q week"
