What the President Said on the
Venezuelan Question.
LORD SALISBURY'S REPLY AWAITED
A Suggestion if Further Diplomacy
is Required.
S USPICION OF BAYARD.

The one thoroughly satisfactory feature
Of the Presidents message is the reference
in 1t to the dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela. That is approved by dem
ocrats and republicans alike, and if the full
text of his July rote shall realize the ex-
pectations that have now been awakened.
the President will find himself in for him,
the novel attitude of touching shoulders
with his countrymen about a foreign af
fair. The cable states that Lord Sails
bury's leply to tie President should reach
Washington today. Presumably, therefore,
the correspondence will be promptly laid
before Congress and then be given 10 the
public.
Interesting SpecuIations.
And now begins a very Interesting line
of speculation. Does the length of time
that has been consumed by Lord Salisbury
In formulating his reply indicate not only
the difficulty of the question, but that fur
ther correspondence is likely? He has
taken six months in which to make up his
mind to something. or to politely decline to
make up his mind to anything the case
I DIV stands. Or can it he that, obeying his
own Judgment, or following a suggestion
from another question, he has purpoSely
delayed his reply until the meeting of Con-
gress? Recognizing the momentous nature
of the Presidents note, he may have de-
cided that as, sooner or later, Congress
also would have something to say on the
aanISe.' II M'u.u De peSt TO wait uhtii ne
together, and have it out, as Gen. Grant
was accustomed to do, on one concentrated
line.
