| London, July Recommending today
upon the correspondence on rhe sub
ject of arbitration which the Marquis
of Salisbury laid before the house of
Lords on yesterday, the Globe expresses
the opinion that the British premier
has been perilously near recognition Of
the Monroe doctrine. On this point,
the Globe says:
| I'VE must beware OF weakening in
the slightest degree the position hith-
er'to maintained by Great Britain"
The Gidbe also thinks that the for
eign office has been altogether too COM
placent in respect to the VeneZuelans
! question itself, and trusts that there
| is no disposition on the part Of the
government TO recede from the deter
mination not to recognize the Ameri-
can commission.
IN regard to a treaty Of arbttra-
ton" continues the Globe, "our ex-
perience with the United States has
been uniformly discouraging, as, for
instance, in the case of the Alabama
claims and the Berng sea fish
cries dispute"
The Pail Mall Gazette says both sides
In the correspondence have shown a
disposition to discuss each possible So
luton in a conciliatory spirit, they be-
ing propelled towards a settlement by
the dynamic forces of mutual good will.
The st. James Gazette expresses the
fear that negotiations have not brought
the United States much nearer to a
settlement.
