Foreign Comment.

LoYDoy. Dec. l9.=The Chronicle con-
tends that Lord Salisbury has not drawn
a cast.iron line, aud has offered To accept
arbitration. Aftor all, says The Chroni-
Gle, the dispute is very small and Is be-
tween friendly nations, and we decline to
believe that II is a closed book between
them.
Tho Post SAYS: II the utterances of
Secretary Olney and President Cleveland
mean anything. they would justify the re-
call Of Sir Julian Pauncefotc. The Ian
guage OF Secretary Olney's documsnt
would expose us 10 n demand 20 retire,
not only from Canada aud Jamaica, bnt
from Australia, India and Cape Colony.
II Is difficult to suppose that such a paper
could be fraraed unless for the purpose of
degrading England. 1t Is not to be sup
posed that the position of England, held
for 600 years against the world, will be
yielded to America without struggle.
The Graphic says: Whether il is bug
aboo or sober earnest, IL has brought us
within a measurable distance of war. It
Is now question OF tho national honor,
on which the government OF the queen
cannot bulge an inch. Yesterday we
could treat IL rs an exhibition Of personal

Is altered. We trust that prudent coun-
