WASHINGTON, July 1S-The CORES
pondence which has passed between the
governments of the United States and
Great Britain regarding the establish
ment OF a general system of arbitration
for the settlement of any disputes which
arose between the countries and also for
the settlement by arbitration of the
dispute over the Venezuelan boundary
has been made public in the shape of an
even dozen letters which have been ex-
changed between Secretary Olney. Lord
Salisbury, SIR Julian Pauncefote and
Bayard.
The correspondence is of great inter-
est in making sensible advance toward
the adoption between the two English
speaking cations OF the principle of ar
between themselves, but persons who
have looked forward with hope and ex-
pectation 10 speedy conclusion of trea-
ties embodying the arbitration principle
of the settlement Of either or both OF
the great open issues between the two
nations, are doomed to disappointment,
Tor at the date OF exchange Of the last
note, one from Secretary Oluey to the
British ambassador here, da'ed within
3 month past, points most vital Eature

question specifically but Of a general
arbitration proposition as well, ia still

oectation of an early adjustment.
