KING OSCAR IS CHOSEN
FIFTH Official Arbitrator OF the
Venezuela Question.
COURT MAY SIT AT STOCKHOLM.

Tho King Does Not Leave His Country Ex-
cept On State Visits to other sovereigns
while Cordial to the United States
King Oscar Is Not the Less Friendly TO
Great Britain-wbat London Newspa-
pers Say About the Proposition.
Washington. Nov. l2.-The King of
sweden and Norway. Oscar IL. has
been chosen by treaty between the
United States and Great Britain as the
fifth Official arbitrator OF the vene-
zuelan boundary question. The old
arbitrators. four in number. are to be
designated. two by the lord chief jus
tice of England. and two by the chief
justice of the United States.
AS the king seldom leaves his coun-
try. except on state visits to other SOW
ereigns, II is not expected that King
Oscar III will go outside of Sweden for
the meeting of the arbltrators, and the
court ii likely TO sit at Stockholm. the
capital Il Sweden. where King Oscars s
palace and the halls of the Swedish
reksdag are located
Personal Friend of Wales.
While most cordial toward the Uni
ted States. King Oscar Is not less
friendly to Great Britain. although
there are no ties of immediate kinship
with the British royal family. He is
however. n warm personal friend OF
the Prince OF Wales. who visited him a'
Stockholm in 1885. when a royal elk
hunt through the woods of Swender
took place. His special ally is Emperor
William. who visited him last year.
The learning and judicial fairnes:
which King Oscar has shown In severa
recent arbitrations have led to the
feeling that he is pre-emnently quail
fed for the responsibility involved In
his present choice by the United States
and Great Britain.
