VENEZUELAN ARBITRATIOX.
Comments of London Papers on the
Debate i'm Parliament.

London Feb 1S.--The newspapers to-
day are variously commenting on the
amendment to the address in reply to the
queens speech, moved in the House of
Commons by Mr.. Atherley-Jones, deplor-
ing the absence from the throne of any
expression favorable to arbitration of the
Venezuelan dispute, and also upon the
proposal cabled to the Times by its Amer
lean correspondent, G. W. Smalley for
a Joint committee, consisting of two Brit
ish and two American commissioners, to
inquire into and report the facts 10 their
respective governments. Mr.. Smalley 5
suggestion is supposed to have originated
jim the Washington cabinet.
The St. James Gazette praises Mr.. Bal
fours tact in ending the debate on Mr..
Jones' amendment yesterday, and repudi-
ates Sir William Harcourts utteranceS in
favor of arbitration, declaring that the op-
position leaders say that England is favor
able to arbitration, but neglect to say
what is to be arbitrated Mr.. Smalley' s
proposition, the Gazette says, is equally
as ambiguous as Sir William Harcourt' s
assertion.
The Westminster Gazette is in thorough
sympathy with the purpose of Mr.. Jones'
amendment, but believes that it should
not have been pushed, because its certain
rejection would have induced a belief in
America that parliament was opposed to
arbitration. Such an impression in view
of the delicate negotiations pending, the
Gazette says, would have been deplorable.
The Daily News Will tomorrow say that
the negotiations now in progress between
the United States and Great Britain will
result, according to the expectation of
the best informed circles, in a satisfactory
settlement of the Venezuelan dispute. The
paper gives the lines on which the negO-
tiations are proceeding. They are virtu-
ally Identical with the suggestions made
by Mr.. Smalley for the appointment of a
joint committee. The News adds that the
committee will serve rather as a board
of conciation. than as an arbitration
board. i is understood that before agree
ing to the scheme which, as a last re-
soUt would involve arbitration, Lord Sails
bury would require an agreement regard
ing the settled districts
The News remarks that the United
States seem to assume a quasi-suzerainty
over Venezuela, which is a distinct ad-
vantage to Great Britain. 1T concludes
that a settlement on the foregoing lines
would be honorable to both countries, and
would be heartily applauded by all par
ties here.
John Morley formerly chief secretary
for Ireland, who is contesting in the lib
eral interest the seat in the House for
the Montrose burghs, delivered a speech
at Forfar to-day. In the course of his
remarks, he said he rejOiced that there
was every indication of a solution of the
Guiana boundary dispute by the appoint
ment of a joint committee.

tantamOunt to occupation of that coun-

None need be surprised, therefore, In

Russia is behind the assassination. Yet
there are many other influences mat

them, religious fanaticism and quarrels.

Mr.. Mcdonald spoke Of him as a wise
and capable ruler, but bound by Persian
