THEY FAVOR ARBITRATION

Golden Moments for Permanent Peace

Slipping BY.

London, Jan. 27.-The Chronicle in an
editorial on Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain's statement of the Venezuela
speech at Birmingham on Saturday
says:
I'VE must regard this statement as
expressing the deliberate conclusions of
the government. and 1t seems to render
arbitration in some form or other abso-

berlain is so brilliant a member, would
forget minor matters and bodily con-
clude an arbitration treaty with Amer

tured of two peoples rescuing Armenia.

An editorial in the Times on the Amer

Is not to be expected that America will
so far drop from the sagacious princi-
pies of Washington's farewell message
as to draw the sword in behalf of the
Armenians. But the American people
are the only people except ourselves not
perhaps wholly incapable of making
war on behalf of the oppressed without
regard to national interests
The Times in another editorial says
at seems unlikely that Russia has done
more than establish good relations with
Turkey on the understanding that she
will be no party to other than platonic
remonstrances over Armenian griev-
anceS"

CHAMBERLAIN IS MORE PACIFIC
Believes the Venezuelan Affair Has Nos
Been Properly Interpreted.


London. Jan. 25.-The Right Hon
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies. in speaking at Bir-
mingham tonight said regarding the
venezuelan matter that he thought
there had been much apprehension on
both sides of the water. When Sec
rotary Olney's dispatch and President
Cleveland's message were delivered the
1eellng was reluctantly entertained in
England that the Americans must have
some hostile sentiments which England
did not share and that the United States
was bent on picking a quarrel with
England. The idea seemed to prevail in
America that England was disposed to
impugn the Monroe doctrine-a doc
trine to which the people of the United
states rightly attached much import
ance, and 1t was also believed in Amer
lea that Great Britain was disposed to
deal In harsh and arbitrary manner
with Venezuela, but reflection had
brought about a more favorable under
standing and America would regard
with horror war with those of her own
blood and kindred
President Cleveland, whose ac-
quaintance / have the honor to pos
sess." said Chamberlain, in conclusion
bears high reputation for rectitude
and honorable dealings. He is inca
pable of the wickedness of melting two
kindred nations to strife and blood
shed"

NEW REPOSITORIES FOR PUB DOCS
Each Senator and Congressman Nav
Designate One Library in HIS State,

Washington, Jan. 26.-Under the new
printing law, passed by the last con-
gress, provision is made that each
senator and representative shall have
the right to name one library in his
state to be designated as a public de-
pository to receive all public documents
hereafter printed that may be valuable
for preservation as public records.
The law also designates each state
library as such depository exclusive of
those to be designated by the senators
and representatives. The state of Wash
ington, therefore, now has five public
depositories-the state library at Olym-
pia, the state university library at Sc
attic, the Whitman college library at
Walla Walla, the agricultural college
library at Pullman. and the city IL
brary at Tacoma.

ers Los Angeles special says:
THE recent story about Mayor Carl
son of San Diego buying the Nevada
Southern railway with the idea,
through Huntington's help, of building
a line from Los Angeles to Salt Lake
has been punctured by the statement of
ex-District Attorney Dillon, who is the
attorney for the company. Dillon says
Carlson only has a deed TO the road,
signed by Isaac T.. Blake as president,
but this, 1t can not be seen, conveys
anything.
Mr.. Dillon says the road was sold by
the sheriff on October 16 last to X. b.
Anderson of New York, and since then
the California Eastern Railway Com
pany has purchased Mr.. Anderson's til
tie and will extend the line to Good
Springs, New, unless 1t is redeemed by
April 16. Mr.. Dillon also represents the
creditors of the old Nevada Southern,
and states that when Mayor Carlson
pays the claims of 100000 he can have
the road, but not before"

the lumber district at 2:30 this morning

HON. THEODORE auNYoN Is DEAD
The American Ambassador 10 Germany
Expires Suddenly.

Inc American AMBASSADOR TO ueTmuuy
Expires suddenly.
Berlin, Jan. 26.--Hon. Theodore Run
yon, United States ambassador to Ger
many. expired suddenly and unexpect-
eddy at o'clock this morning of heart
failure. Mr.. Runyon had been In
somewhat feeble health for some time
past. but no immediate fatal results
were anticipated.
No longer ago than last Tuesday ev-
ening he was present at a dinner CIV
en- in his honor by ex-Empress Freder-
lex, mother of Emperor William. Last
summer he had planned to make an ex-
tended trip through Norway, but on the
advice of his physician he abandoned
the trip, and instead went to Carlsbad.
where he took the cure. He subse-
quently went to Axenstein, in Switzer-
land. for the purpose of taking an af-
ter-cure.
Since that time, however, he has
manifested great activity in the dis
charge of the duties of his office, which
have been more than usually onerous
on account of the complications in Eu-
ropean affairs which have more or less
demanded the attention and care of the
diplomatic representatives of all ma
lions.
CTheodore Runyon was born at Som
erville. N. j., October rs. 1922. He grad
uated from Yale college in 1912, and in
1916 was admitted to the bar. In 1858
he was made city attorney, and in 1856,
city counsellor of Newark, N. j., a po-
sition he retained until 1864, when he
became mayor of the city. He was ap-
pointed in 1856 commissioner to re-
wise and codify the military laws of
New Jersey; in 1857, he was made briga-
der general and subsequently major
general Of the New Jersey National
Guard. At the outbreak Of the civil
war he was placed in command of a
New Jersey brigade of volunteers. In
1865 he was the democratic candidate
for governor of his state, but was not
elected. From 1873 to 1887 he was
chancellor of New Jersey. In March.
1893, he was appointed by President
Cleveland United States minister to
Germany, and shortly afterwards was
made ambassador. in accordance with
the law of congress that the United
States representative in Germany
should be raised to the rank of ambas.

VIEWS OF SIR WHEELMAN PEARCE
Says the Flying Squadron Was Not In

Says the Flying Squadron Was Not In
tended for Use Aga America.
st. Louis, Jan. 26.-"The fitting out
of the flying squadron was merely to
show Europe that England was pre-
pared to defend her corner against the
nations. I do not think that any one
in Great Britain ever thought the
squadron was placed in action to be
used against the United States"
This was the statement made by Sir
Wheelman Pearce, M. p, from Col
chester, Essex county, England, at the
Southern hotel today. Sir Wheelman,
who has contracts with the Mexican
government for the construction of the
harbor at Vera Cruz, is en- route to that
city, accompanied by Lady Pearce.
when we first heard of your Monroe
doctrine declaration" he said, 1--WE
thought you had gone crazy. You gave
us terrible shock for a few days, for
we thought from the amount of jingo-
ism aroused this country would be-
come so unruly that grave complica-
tons would follow.
England has not appointed a COM
mission to consider the dispute, and
do not think this will be done until
ditCi l<oi u Ildue tHe COT
respondence in the matter public by
sending it to parliament in the form of
a report. Then If the foreign office has
taken a wrong position, it will be re-
buked. If people think the position a
proper one, however, the position of
the foreign office will be upheld.
There is no doubt England recog-
nizes the Monroe doctrine in it's broad
sense. and is willing to abide by it on
all occasions except this one. This dis
puted territory has been claimed by
Great Britain for years, and has been
ruled by 1T. A large number of the
inhabitants of the place consider them
selves British subjects, and the dispute
Is merely over the boundary Surely
this is not a sufficient cause for war.
Since this trouble has arisen, there is
growing sentiment in England in IA
vor of a permanent international COM
mission, to which all disputes could be
referred at their inception, and they
would be settled without having coun-
tries stirred up over them. The time
will come when such a board will be
found necessary, and I hope to see
this agreement speedily arrived at
