Debate in the House of Commons Tues
day Satisfactory.

OeDADe Lne mouse OF commons IueS-
day Satisfactory.
LONDON, March 1S.-There was a
big meeting this afternoon of the Bim-
etallic league. 1t was determined to
continue active communications with
bimetallists in France, Germany, Aus
tria and Belgium in order to promote
great campaign in the Industrial GEN.
ters. Secretary McNeill, in conversa-
tion with representative of the AS
sociated Press, said that bimetallists
generally were satisfied with the de-
bate in the house of commons yester-
day evening, as by its vote the house
unanimously declared bimetallism: to
be a great benefit to Great Britain,
and an International agreement was
desirable. The gold party, he added,
had not tried to challenge either of
these points, and had not ventured to
move their amendment when the cru
cial moment arrived. McNeill- also
said Balfour's speech encouraged the
bimetallists by showing the govern
ment's desire for an international
agreement, and it would go to the ut
most length which public opinion
would justify to promote that object.

HER CASE uNrENAnLE.
England in the Wrong In the Venezuela
Dispute.

England in the Wrong in the Venezuela
CHICAGO, March 1S.-A special from
Washington says:
The members of the Venezuela
boundary commission have informally
concluded that Great Britain's case
is untenable, and that Venezuela's
claim is just. Unless some new facts
come to light, this will be the nature
of their decision.
In the negotiations which have been
going on between the Washington and
London governments, it is stated that
some weeks ago Lord Salisbury showed
disposition to attempt settlement
of the Venezuelan difficulty by negotia-
tion with the United States. He had
already tried to make terms with
Venezuela on money basis and
failed, President Crespo rejecting his
proposition.
Lord Salisbury then intimated to the
United States his willingness to per-
nit the dispute to 60 to arbitration so
far as the boundary line is concerned,
but insisted that the question as to
what was to become of the interests of
British settlers in the disputed and
what is known as the "settled dis
tricts," was to be left as subject of
further discussion. This proposal was
not accepted, however. President
Cleveland and Secretary Olney de-
clined to recommend to Venezuela any
plan of arbitration which did not in
clude the whole subject, and provide
for settlement of all the points at is
sue.
This government replied with the
suggestion that Great Britain agree to
place before the arbitration tribunal
the whole question, so that in case the
verdict should be against England the
settlers and miners now operating un-
der license from the British crown
would become subject to the laws of
Venezuela. President Cleveland was
firm in his insistence that if the terri
tory belonged to Venezuela all the
license, privileges and cont~olbelonged
to her also. To the suggestion that
the United States would recommend
arbitration on these terms, Lord
Salisbury has as yet made no reply.
The Venezuela commission has
already made such progress that it is
able to form some idea as to the merits
of the subject with which they are
dealing. 1t can be stated that the
commission has come to the opinion.
from the investigations already made,
that the British claim is untenable,
and that Venezuela's claim is just
one. The British bluebook which was
so laboriously prepared by commits
sion of distinguished lawyers is re-
garded here not only as extremely
weak, but as having been put to-
gether il IL careless and slipshod man.
ner.
The conclusions drawn by persons
close to the president is that England
will ultimately yield her scruples on
the "settled DISTRICTS" and that she
will arbitrate the matter before the
boundary commission makes its re-
port,

PROMP ACTION NEEDED


In another column we publish letters
from Senators Mitchell and Mcbride,
| addressed to committee of The Dalles
Commercial Club, pledging immediate
action to secure an appropriation for
the completion of the canal and locks
at the Cascades. This assurance on
the part of our honorable senators is
encouraging, and leads US to believe
that they will exert proper energy to
secure the needed legislation, which
we must confess has been lacking, des-
pite the statement of Senator Mitchell
to the committee that "you may be as
sured that the Oregon delegation has
not been asleep in reference to the i'm
portance of doing every thing neces-
say to be done, and which it is posi-
BILE to do in order that the canal and
locks at the Cascades may be open to
traffic at the very earliest possible
moment"
of Senator Mitchell, but we must say,
in view of the fact that the report of
the engineers, asking for an additional
appropriation, was made more
than year ago, if the Oregon delega-
tion have not been asleep in this mat
ter, they have not displayed wakeful
activity in waiting to be petitioned,
begged as it were, to take some action
to secure the necessary appropriation.
If they were really awake to the situa-
tion, why was not this appropriation
embodied in the river and harbor bill
of the last session? Had it been, there
would have been none of this needless
delay in the completion OF the locks.
However, if the delegation will now,
at this late day, secure an appropria-
tion that will result In the speedy COM
pletion of the works at the Cascades,
their constituency in Eastern Oregon
may forgive their derelictions in the |
past. But let them no longer delay
