Associated Press Special Wire,
LONDON, Jan. s.-Henry Norman, special
comm ssioner of the Chronicle, cables his
paper from Washington as follows:
There ia a heroic way of settling the
whole difficulty with honor O both govern
ments and with results of priceie less worth
to both peoples. The present delay con-
ssts in the fact that the United States gov
ernment considers its honor bound to insist
upon certain course, which the British
government considers itself honor bound
to refuse to adopt. Every day spent here
has convinced me strongly that it is inn
possible to exagverate the seriousness or
such an International battle.
Now, the kernel of the dispute being the
principle of arbitration, the solution may
be fou d therein also. If Lord Salisbury

to arbtrate with Venezuela by itself, but
he is preparing to conclude a treaty with
the United States under which all questions

1890, and responded to by resolution of
the house of commons supported in their

that if any arbitration treaty was ever

congress, by refusing that S450,O00, tenn

he second is the English feeling that
any action raken now would appear to be

it is quite Ger ain that neither President
Cleveland nor Mr. Oney consider them
