Standard to-day on the Venezuelan ques-
ton. He spoke of the enthusiasm of his
countrymen over President Cleveland's
message, and expressed the belief that
Great Britain, having much to lose and
little to gain, will ultimately agree TO arbi-
trate- He says: Great Britain is clearly
in the wrong as far the boundary is
concerned, while the Monroe doctrine will
figure in the settlement only in its moral
influence Every South American republic

interference by the German Emperor with
