All Disputes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. e.-Henry Nor
man, the special commissioner of the
London Daily Chronicle in Washington,
cables his paper to day as follows: s.Ths
sentiment for arbitration Is q ball,
which once set rolling among q civiliz:d
people cannot be stopped. take Il
for granted TINT in some n arbi.
tration In the Venezuelan dispute is
now certain.n
br. Norman devotes the major por-
tion OF the remainder OF his dispe,ch to
authorized interviews with the mem
bers OF the Senate foreign relations
committee. Senator Mills he did not
see. To each member he put the cues.
tion: Would 1t, in your opinion, be
well for the governments OF the United
States aud Great Britain to endesyor
to agree upon the legislation of a per.
manens court or tribunal of arbitra-
tion, to which all questions at issue
oetween the two governments, not in
volving national autonomy or honor,
should be submitted for decision when
diplomatic discussions fail?"
Senator Sherman, chairman of the
committee, said: II I'm in favor of the
principle OF arbitration for all questions
that do not involve tho autonomy of the
L hop0 u9b bu6 TWO ROV.
ernments will agree upon such a mode
OF settlement for all controversies"
Senator Sherman added thai in his
opinion parliament should pass q reso-
luton requiring the ministry 10 take
steps In this direction.
Senator Daniel said: ST would regard
Ii as q great Achievements and in har-
mony with the aspirations of the two
peoples. their mutual interests and their
closer friendship"
On the House foreign affairs COM
mistee Chairman Hill said: us would
be the beat work they could do for the
two nations snd for mankind. And 1t
should II possible be made to imply. II
not pledge, their endeavor to settle ali
the disputes they have, not only with
one another. but with all other
n%ntions."
asked II l might regard him as ex-
pressing b sentiments of the entire
committee, and he said: "Not ouly OF
the committee. but OF the whole House
OF representatives. For tho concilia
tion OF interests and the wise search for
right resulta we are all sgreed here"
Mr.. Norman then continues: THE
above represents the weightiest and
moss important body of opinion that
could possibly be secured In the United
Ssatea. And these are the men to
whole consideration between England
and America would be fret submitted
and by whose decision the Senate and
House would probably be guided. Il is
impossible TO Believe that British sentl-
ment will not be moved to respond to
such remarkable unanimiry and such
enlightened u%tternnces. IL not, then
the world will see that America ia
ahead OF England In the moss striking
characteristic of o civilized people," :
