In an interview with the Washington
correspondent of the London Chroni.
Gle, Senator Gray said: 8 l don't think
the President made or intended to
make a threat towards the British
government in his message, but he did
mean to express in the strongest way
possible his own feeling and what |
believe to be the feeling of all the
people Of this country regarding sup
posed British refusal of arbitration in
the Venezuelan matter, except with
reference to an arbitrary line made by
the British government itself l know
there is sincere regret and dismay
among all right-minded people here
that a more concilatory disposition
was rot accepted by Lord Salisbury in
regard to the general principle of arbi-
tration. If the British government
should show a kindly disposition
toward this principle / believe it
would be greatly welcomed by the
people Of this country. So far as
there being any loss Of prestige to the
British government in this course, it
would make me more hopeful that the
great principle Of arbitration will find
expression in convention between
the two countries covering all gues-
tions that might arise.

The New York Chamber of Commerce
composed of solid, conservative bust
ness mon and representing the great
commercial interests Of that city, Thurs
day gave consideration to the Vene-
Zuelan question. The result was the
adoption of resolutions appealing to the
United States and Great Britain TO
avert the calamity of war by resort
to arbitration, and providing for a
committee TO consult with foreign com
mercial bodies, with view to the
peaceful settlement of the controversy.
The report of the committee, upon
which the action Of tho Chamber was
based, urged that the body ''should
express its profound regret that the
contingency of war between tho two
great English-speaking nations should
have been suggested as a possible out
come Of the pending correspondence in
a controversy in which the American
people have now, and probably can
have no more than sentimental and
passing interest" /" This is but Gu
mulative evidence of how the sound
business sentiment of tho country, the
very life blood OF the land, is opposed
to even intimations Of war between
this country and Great Britain in a

honor and safety are concerned, as

President Cleveland Wednesday made
public tho names of five distinguished
citizens who will compose the cole
brated Venezuelan Commission. They
arc; Justice David j. Brewer of the
United States Supreme Court; Chief
Justice Richard II. Alvey of the Dis
trict of Columbia court of appeals; OK
Minister Andrew ID. White, Frederick
II. Coudert of the New York bar, and
Daniel @. Gilman, president Of Johns
Hopkins University.
There is much in the personnel of
try, and disspate to large extent tho
evil that has been wrought since the
violent launching of this unfortunate
Venezuelan affair. These men are not
lingoes in any sense of the word. They
are gentlemen Of learning, ability ana
stable characte They are not liable
to shout ferociously for war when there
is no occasion for war. On the con-
trary, it may safely be assumed that
they will examine eonscientiously and
critically, the question of the disputed
boundary line in all its bearings, and
make report upon the real facts in
controversy, us far as it is possible for
human agency TO arrive at the solid
truth And when the facts are brought
to light, and tho assumption of the
company of American adventurers who
sought to establish a virtual squatter
sovereignty in the disputed territory
is fully exposed, it will probably be
shown how little real occasion this
government had to display any concern
over the situation, much less to go to
tho extent of indulging in intimations
of war.
The country is to be congratulated,
therefore, upon the fact that the ''war
cloud'' which so greatly disturbed the
serenity of the Christmas holidays, is
surely dissolving with the advent of
tho new year. Even the jingo patriots
have become less frothy and blood
thirsty, while the calm, common sense
of the country seems to be reasserting
itself in all directions. President
Cleveland has done much TO repair the
folly Of his mischievous message by his
wisdom in selecting the members oi
the commission. Unless the people are
much mistaken, the commission will
do its work wisely and well, while
there is every reason to hope that its
conclusions will be such as can be ac-
cepted by this government and that oI
Great Britain with mutual satisfaction
and without any further straining o.
the diplomatic intercourse between two
great countries whose relations shoule
ever be of the most pacific character.

but the wires being down the extent of
the damage was not learned till last
evening, when a party Of inspectors
came in. So complete has been the de-
