Speeches by Conservatives and Lib

Regarding the Venezuelan Com-
mission Show That the venesue-

settled.

London, Feb. 13-The queens speech
was read OH the opening of parliament
today. 1t declares that England it at
peace with all nations. sympathy is
expressed with the wish Of the United
States for friendly adjustment of
the Venezuela boundary dispute. The
speech expresses Indignation over the
Armenian outragcs, but says that the
Turkish government has promised re-
forms. The TElnsya:.l laid is regretted,
and the speech declares that the affair
will be rigidly investigated. An in
crease in the navy is desired. The
speech was well received. and speeches
were made by Conservatives and Lib
erals expressing the hope that the
Venezuela question would he amicably
settled and that the friendship be-
tween England and America would
never be broken.
Lord Salisbury made a speech in
which he declared that while no steps
toward arbitration had been taken. he
was confident that the Venezuela qurs-
tion would lie settled in that manner
and with honor to all concerned.
The Times says that parliamentary
paper was issued last night containing
the diplomatic correspondence be-
tween England and America since
1887 respecting the boundary question
between Venezuela and British Gui-
ana, which shows that the successive
British governments have taken up
the same position described year
ago by the earl Of Kimberly. then the
secretary Of state for foreign affairs In
the Rosebcry cabinet, in the following
words:
Her maiesty's government has con-
sistently declined and still declines to
submit to arbitration the question Of
the right to territory long settled and
governed as IL part of II British col
ony, nor are they now prepared to ac-
cept any material modification of the
provisional boundary proclaimed In
1856. On the other hand they have Of
fered to concede Venezuela without ar
bitration large portion Of the ter
ritory comprised in their extreme
claim. and they are ready to 20 to ar
bitratiOn y, Meeting an intermediate
zone as I" lie exact limit of which
they Wnu!. prepared to accept mod
iiication, having proper regard to ma
tional bOundaries.'
A letter from Ambassador Bayard to
Lord Salisbury is given, calling the
premier's attention to the fact that n
Venezuela commission had been ap-
pointed, and asking England To fur
nish the commission with any data re-
garding the boundary that 1t chose to
give. Lord Salisbury replies. stating
that all the information which is Mt
the command of hcr maicsty's govern
mcnt upon any subject of inquiry that
is occupying the government Of the
United States will readily be placed
at the disposal of the president.
To-day's speeches in parliament and
the above correspondence show that
the Venezuela trouble will be amicably
settled
