The st. James Gazette Nondon) says
the success of the United States loan is
a useful reminder to Englishmen that in
spite of financial disorders, and the "ec-
centricities" of the administration, the
United States is very rich country and
has "a great reserve store of wealth
among it's people" 1t adds that this
success is not wholly hopeful of pros
pect of peacefully solving the Venezue
Ian difficulty, and is only too likely due
to the aggressive self confidence which
caused the Presidents message and the
new Olney doctrine to be hailed with
such enthusiasm"

AN editorial in the London Times OF
Monday. contains some important and
interesting suggestions on the subject of
Venezuela. The Times suggests that
England appoint strong and independ-
ent commission to investigate Venezu-
elias dispute for the enlightenment of
Parliament and the public as early as the
Washington commission shall report. 1t
adds that there would be no difficulty in
finding eminent men whose conclusions
would be unhesitatingly accepted. The
Times also suggests that the explanation
Of Lord Salisbury's phrase, "a combina-
ton of negotiation and arbitration y
used by him in his speech in reply to
Lord Rosebery in the House of Lords,
is that negotiation be employed to settle
the limits of the questions which shall
be submitted to arbitration.

THE. French Cabinet has decided to
ignore the vote taken in the Senate on
Saturday, February Is, which was
repetition of vote of that body Feb. IL,
deprecating the Irregularities disclosed
in connection with the Southern Rail-
way scandal, and demanding a searching
inquiry. The newspapers express the
belief that no issue from the Cabinet
crisis is possible except through the
resignation of M. Ricard, Minister of
Justice. The London dispatches from
Paris all agree as to the gravity of the
French crisis. According to a semi
official statement, M. Bourgeois, the
Premier, had an interview with Presi-
dent Faure Sunday afternoon, and ex-
planned that the conflict of the Senate
with the Chamber had assumed such a
character that a resignation of the Min
istry would not solve the crisis. The
Cabinet had, therefore, decided to await
the further expression of the opinion of
| buO ShdmDOlg tAO 1uiulStOI6
that they can no more yield to the SEN
ate than they can disregard the con-
| fidence of the Chamber.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
telegraphs as follows to that paper:
"The Cabinet has sounded a clear
note. If it succeeds, it is nothing more
nor less than coup d'etat. If it fails,
it is an act of violence. to no good end.
The setting aside of the vote of the Sen
ate virtually upsets the constitution. IL
the Senate stands firm, there are only
two alternatives-the resignation of the
Minister, or the expulsion of the Senate
by mob. The latter would mean the
superseding of the constitution by rev.
dictionary convention. The Chamber
of Deputies, which reassembes Thurs
day, after a Cabinet council Tuesday,
may, however, recoil from second vote,
which might prove disastrous. The
situation is the most delicate we have
seen in twenty five years."
