ARBITRATION.
ambassador Bayard assured
the London correspondent of the
New York Post of bis belief that
before his departure from Eng
land permanent arrangements
for arbitration would be reached
between England and America.
There is liable to be delay in
the Venezuela arbitration. Min
lister Andrade is returning to
Washington after visiting Presi
dent Crespo, and it is thought
strange in Washington that there
has been no expression of press
opinion in Venezuela about the
terms of arbitration.
1t is now surmised that Vene-
zuela may not like the fifty years
occupation clause, as Schomburgk
began running his line in July,
1S41, which would give Great
Britain the advantage of fifty five
years occupancy.

ed by japanese subjects into
China.

thing they would hear was that
the Government would want them
to provide warship. Ihe mill
tary outpost at Urbana, where
previous conflicts with Venezuela
have occurred, may be abandoned.
or else a force Of black natives
sent to garrison it. This is not
result of the prospective boundary
settlement, but because the out
post is sacrificing many of the
best officers in the British Colonial
service.
