- LONDON, Aug. IA statement con-
corning arbitration made by the Mar
Quis of Salisbury on Saturday last,
when he was installed as lord warden
of the Cirque Ports, is attracting wide
spread attention here. The Times,
Daily News and Daily Chronicle, in
editorial articles this morning comment
upon the premier's statement of Satur-
day, and the Pail Mall Gazette con-
Icludes a column leading article on the
same subject this afternoon with the
following remark:
Mr. Balfours and the marquis's
arbitration statements have caused I'M
feigned satisfaction to thousands of
members of our common Anglo-Saxon
stock on both sides of the Atlantic"
The remarks of Mr.. Balfour alluded
to by the Pail Mall Gazette were made
or Friday last at the closing of parlia-
ldent. He said the government was
still considering the latest proposals of
Secretary Olney, which he added, "are
regarded as opening the way for an
equitable and early settlement of the
dispute" The statement was received
with tremendous cheers.
The st. James Gazette says that the
country will receive the arbitration
news with the greatest satisfaction,
but further on, the paper remarks that
1t refuses to believe that the marquis of
Salisbury will "be so feeble as to yield
to Secretary Olney's demand for the in
clusion Of the settled districts of Ven
ezuela in the arbitration scheme
The Globe while completely endors-
inS the arbitration movement remarks,
the new arrangement, whatever it's
details, should certainly be defined in
the most exact terms, the cases which
lie within and without the Monroe doc
trine.''
The Bradford Observer today says 1t
understands that with the sanction of
the marquis of Salisbury, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador at
Washington, who is now in the city,
explained to Sir William Vernon Har-
court, the opposition leader in the house
of commons, the full situation of af-
fairs regarding the proposed arbitra-
ton, prior to Mr.. Balfour's remarks on
the subject in the house of commons on
Friday, and that it was due to this
that the liberal leader expressed his
satisfaction in strong terms. He said
that he thought the house would re-
gard BaItourS statement as emlnently
satisfactory adding that considering
the anxiety felt upon the subject
throughout the country, and since the
negotiations had assumed a shape
which led to the belief that the papers
on the subject would be communicated
to the house at an early date, he hoped
they would be communicated to the
public as soon as possible.
;. To this Mr. Balfour replied Yes it
Is the desire of the government to COM
municate the papers as soon as this
can be done without prejudice to pub
lie interests"
The Bradford Observer then states
that it has been arranged that the set
tied districts question is to be solved in
the following manner: If they are held
to belong to Venezuela, the British set
tiers are to be entitled to withdraw.
and will be compensated for whatever
losses they may sustain by such with
drawals.
