THE KING OF THE WATERS.
The Power Lord Salisbury's Admission
 Gives the President.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-The St. James Gazette publishes a leading article headed, An Historic Month, in which it says:
 Lord Salisbury's great admission of the principle that the United States has the right to intervene in frontier disputes of American powers and can compel disputants to arbitrate alto gether transcends in importance the question of the Guiana boundary. It is formal recognition of the hege- mony of the United States on the American continent and gives the pres ident position in the new world which the mediaeval popes and emperors tried vainly to claim in Europe.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-But one point, a matter of detail and not of merit, remains open between the United States and Great Britain in the settlement of the Venezuelan question. Cablegrams passing between London and Washington give every reason to believe this point which has delayed the formal affixing of signatures to the arrangement of settlement, will be de- termined within day or two.
 PARIS, Nov. 12.-The Temps today expressed itself as being greatly con cerned at the enormous extension o1 Monroeism involved in the Anglo American entente, adding: Tt con fers upon America the right to settle any difficulty between an American state and European power without the authority of the American state in terested. This is big innovation ir international law and endows the United States with absolute supremacy in their hemisphere. It must be bit ter pill to British pride to consent to this''
 In conclusion the Temps expresses doubt as to whether Europe will ac cept this agreement as precedent.
