 Gerald Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, the original introducer of the bill, opened the debate on the amend ments He intimated that the govern ment would, in the house of commons. acquiesce in some of the amendments and would reject others, which he spec fled The house of lords, he added, had materially altered the measure. mostly to the disadvantage of the ten- ants. He hoped the upper house would accept whatever decision the house of commons reached. If the government was compelled to abandon the bill it would be a calamity to Ireland MT. Balfour dwelt upon the improved rela- tions existing between Great Britain and Ireland, and urged parliament to seize a chance that had not occurred in years of welding kindlier feelings
 The first amendment, which was re- amended on motion of Timothy Healey. was accepted by the house. Gerald Balfour then moved to reamend the second amendment. Agreed to, but just then Arthur J. Balfour, the gov ernment Ieadar i,, the houSe entered and explained that Gerald Balfour's motion was an error. After much iron ical criticism the motion was reconsid- cred and defeated This amendment will come up in the lords.

ing to the Venezuelan
Controversy.
PERMANENT COURT Is URGED.
Denial of the Story That England
Offered Money to Sustain the
Schomburg Line.

LONDON, ENG, Jan. IA meeting OF
the International Arbitration League was
held here to-day, Sir John Lubbock pre-
siding. A resolution was adopted declaring
that the dispute between the United States
and Great Britain was trumpet call to
English speakers on both sides of the
Atlantic, summoning them to devise
means TO secure the arbitration of future
disputes and to procure cooperation in
promoting friendship and abating
animosity.
1t was also suggested to the Government
that the present was fit occasion for
effecting the resolution of the House of
Commons in favor of arbitration. A COM
mtttee was nominated, consisting of the
Bishop of Durham, Canon Wilberforce,
Cardinal Vaughan, Dean Farrar, Rev.
Hugh Price Hughes, Lady Henry Somerset,
Mr.. Stead and others.
The Daily News, commenting on the
meeting, will tomorrow say:
''The meeting is likely to mark date in
our history. Doubtless there would be
difficulties in creating permanent court
of arbitration, one being the scope of refer
ence. 1t should be universal, but that is q
very large order, yet if not so the first i'm
pulse of excited feeling on either side is to
declare reference based on the particular
sub ject of the excitement"
The News congra tulates the meeting on
its endeavor to promote mutual good will,
which, it says, is of capital Importance
and condition precedent to ali effective
legislation.
In its issue tomorrow the Graphic will
claim to have authority to deny the report
that Great Britain has offered money to
Venezuela in return for the latters accept
ance of the Schomburg line as making

The Volksraad met yesterday and author

artillery. A resolution offered by the
Government was adopted thanking the
Orange Free State for its assistance, and
also thanking Governor Robinson OF Cape
Colony and Sir Jacobus Dewet, the British

in the efforts to prevent bloodshed, and for
the ready and powerful manner in which
Governor Robinson had fulfilled his dlfi-
cult task.
A message from President Kruger was
read announcing his intention TO discuss
with the Raad IN later and calmer mo-

and TO esta blish the same on frmer and
more secure foundation.

HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. 14.--The rebel
force, under command OF Maximo Gomez,
attacked the town Of Beiucal, fifteen
miles south of Havana, but were repulsed
by the Government troops.
Before they retired the insurgents set
fire to several houses on the outskirts of
the town. They also set fire to the rail-
way station, but the flames were ex-
tinguished.
A passenger train was destroyed. In
the fighting the troops lost two killed and
ten wounded. The insurgent loss is un-
known.
Owing to the disturbed condition of the
country through which the railways pass
and the danger OF attack by the in
surgents no trains are being dispatched in
any direction. The authorities here have
started popular subscription for the re-
lief OF plantation people whose crops have
been destroyed by rebels. The sum of
SCI, 900 was raised the first day. Captain
General Campos subscribed $1,000 to the
fund, and other officials also subscribed
literally.
Thousands of people whose homes have
been destroyed are fiocking into the cities.
In order to avoid creating alarm among
the people of Havana, the newspapers have
been notified by the authorities that they
will not be allowed to issue extras.

Comment of the Chronicle on the 20 Dis
covered" Correspondence.
LONDON, Eng, Jan. 14.-In its issue to-
morrow the Daily Chronicle referring to
the statement circulated by the Chicago
Associated Press anent the correspondence
in January, 1912, between Lord Aberdeen
and Senior Fortique, the Venezuelan
Minister to Great Britain, will say:
''If this is intended as an answer to the
disclosures made by our commissioner to
Washington, Henry Norman, 10 is no
answer at all. The reservation in regard
to the underlined British rights in Dutch
Guiana represents no kind of contention
in favor of the Schom burg line. Lord
Aberdeen abandoned that line and agreed
to remove the posts. He declared they did
not represent any claim to dominion. He
made no reservation regarding it."
The Chronicles article refers to a letter
communicated to it by the Chicago Asso-
ciated Press purporting to give the con-
tents of letter written by Lord Aberdeen
to Senior Fortique, letter to which the
Chronicle has already alluded in its
articles on the Venezuelan disputes and
which was mentioned several days ago in
the dispatches to the United Press. The
letter in question contains Lord Aber-
deems assurance to Senor Fortique that
in order to meet the wishes of Venezuela
the Governor of Guiana would be directed
to remove the posts marking the Schom-
burg line near the Orinoco River.

colony is further described as extending
about 200 miles along the coast westward
from the Coventyn River, and so, by in
ference. stopping considerably east OF the
mouth of the Barima. The parish OF
Trinity, the most westerly of British
Guiana, is described as extending to the
Pomeroon River and 'ias far as the British
settlements extend
The author had apparently never heard
that any one had claimed that British
Guiana extended TO the Amacoio. He de-
scribes the colony, it may be added. as

parallel of west longitude, description
which very distinctly excludes Point

In 1869 Mr.. Martin was given access
to the blue Book and to other official
sources of information. with a view to the
preparation OF work comprising the end
desired by the House of Commons. The
authors right TO designate his work as
official was unQuestioned and unquestion-
able. But in the History of the Col
onies of the British Empire" published in
1886, the boundaries of Western British
Guiana are again stated as in the earlier
work.
When Mr.. Martin began his researches
not more than ten years had elapsed since
the cession from Holland to England OF
the colonies which constitute British
Guiana, and when the "History OF the
Colonies of the British Empire appeared
but twenty-five years had passed since the
transfer of 1914. The actual extent of
Dutch occupation was to. Mr.. Martin and

covery of new evidence of an unambigu-
Gus character is necessary to warrant a
more extensive British claim at this day
than was made in the years 1880 to 1840.
The British right to the entire territory
embraced within the Schomburgh line is,
to put it mildly, open to serious question.
The occupation in 1856 OF Point Barima at
the mouth of the Orinoco was on the face
of 1t an act OF aggression upon the territory
of the American republic, and in view of
the traditional ana Well-known policy of
this country, the refusal to submit the
right OF such occupation to the judgment
of impartial arbitration cannot be re-
the United States. Lord Salisbury did not
in his reply to Secretary Olney refuse in
precise terms to submit any territory
within this Schomburgh line to arbltra-
ton, and the way to an impartial deter
mination of existing British rights seems
