To Arbitrate the Venezuelan Dispute.

Henry Norman. the special commits
sioner of the London Daily Chronicle
in Washington. cables his paper the
result of interviews with the leading
mem bers of the United States congress
on the subject of arbitration, every
one being most heartily in favor of IL
permanent court or tribunal of arbi-
tration to which all questions at issue
between the two governments, not in
volving the national autonomy or
honor should be submitted for decision
when diplomatic negotiations fall" I"
Norman then says: "lt is impossible
to believe that British sentiment will
not be moved to respond to such re-
markable unanimity and such enlight-
ened communities. The world will
sec that America is ahead of England
in the most striking characteristics of
a civilized people" In regard to the
reports that Great Britain had sent
armed forces into the disputed Vene-
zuela territory Norman says the United
States has been able to prevent the
Venezuelan government from commit
ting any overt act and thus precipitat-
ing hostile situation. Therefore it
is imperatively necessary that the
British government instantly deny and
repudiate such u monstrouS and fatal
act as the armed occupation of the ter
ritory while the question of arbitra-
ton is pending.

render of all British rights and suze-
rainty over the Transvaal and the pre-
emption of Delagoa bay, and the can
ceiling of the charter of the British
