There is a strong probability that the
President will today announce the commits
sion TO investigate the territorial dispute
between Great Britain and Venezuela, the
bill FOR IFS creation becoming a law with
the affixiDg of his signature.
The personnel OF the commission has
already been widely disc ussed and thenam
or many prominent men suggested in that
connection. The law prohibits the Sc
lection of any one already holding an Of
ficial position.
This provision bars from consideration
Senators, Representatives, and Justices of
the Supreme Court. and restricts the choice
to those in private life. This feature of the
question has been thoroughly discussed
by prominent men in both branches OF Con-
gress.
The almost unanimous expression of senti-
ment is TO the effect that the entire COM
mission should consist of distin guished
1urlSts, whose legal attainmeDts have given
them worldwide reputation and whom
the people would recognize as being abso-
lutely above partisan bias.
HARRISON IS DEBARRED.
In these opinions the name of eX-Prcsident
Harrison has not been mentioned, IL being
generally recognized that he is a politician.
a prospective candidate for office. and a
pronounced PARTISAN. Ex-AttoIney General
Garland has not been suggested for similar
reasons.

is held that these three gentlemen would
constitute an ideal commission. II would
command the respect or iurists and par!ia-
mentarians in England, and their con-
clusions would have weight on 10th sides
OF the water.
Should commission of five members
be selected Its strength could be main
tained ny adding the names of Frederick
X. Coudert and ex-senator William NJ
Evarts.
1t is desired that the personnel should
in every way be equal to the Geneva
commission. which arbitrated the Alabama
claims. Mr. Evarts was member OF
that commission. 1t is the general belief
that geographical lines should not be
taken into consideration. but men selected
for their high Character. integrity. nom

they are held both here and abroad.

The general belief OF Senators and mem
bers is that the work of the commission
will be performed in this city. A journey

The opinion is also freely expressed
that Great Britain Will certainly recede
from her position
The fact is pointed out that Lord Sails

retreat as indicated in one of his COM

British subjects have settled beyond the
