LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE debate on
the address in reply to the Queens
speech was continued in the House of
Commons today.
Atherly-Jones, the Liberal member
for the northwest division of Durham,
then moved the following amen l.
ment:
"Aud while we are glad to hear
that her majesty's relations with
foreign powers continue to be friendly,
we 'deplore that her msjesty's speech
does not contain an assurance that all
matters of difference between this
country and the republic Of Venezuela
in relation to the delimitation of the
frontier of that state and Hti;i-n
Guiana be referred to arbitration il
accordance with the request of the
Government of the United States"
In moving in the amendment Mr.
Atherly-JOnes sail he thought the
Government should be grateful for
the opportunity to ascertain the
opinion of the House of Commons up
on the policy it ought to pursue. III
acce epting the amendment in that
spirit, he continued, it would only be
folio wing the example of President
Cleveland, who asked the opinion of
Congress upon the measure submitted
to Great Britain.
He said that since 1941 England had
seven times changed the line marking
the limit of her claim. In the face of
these facts, how could ii be conteudeo
hy Great Britain that the Schom-
burgh line was outside the pale of
arbitration? Having expressed dis
satisfaction at Lord Grauville's treat
ment of the question in 1881, he pro-
tested against the assumption that
the action of the United States Gov
eminent was only an election dodge.
We ought not to judge the action OF
the Government, the speaker con-
tiDued, by President Cleveland AMI
Secretary. Oln-y's dispatches, but by
the friendly representations received
subsequently,,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the
Liberal Leader in the House of Com
mons, spoke as follows:
Il believe the real points of differ
ence between the two Governments
IRE insignificant. But nothing is SO
dangerous as to leave disputes of this
kiud to the ignorant prejudices Of the
people, who do not understand the
question. l venture to suggest to
Atherly-JOnes that, after the state
ment the Government has made, it
would ne useless to pursue his motion
to a division, which would entirely
misrepresent the feeling of the House,
besides doing infinite injury in Amer
lea. [ see 80 manner of settling this
question except to encourage support
of the Government in q course which,
if followed, Will most speedily and
successfully lead to good undersJand-
ing between England the United
States" (Cneers.)
Atherly- Jones then withdrew his
amendment.
John Dillon objected to the with
drawal, and au alteration With the
Speaker ensued, but the latter refused
TO uphold the objection.

view with the Marquis of Salisbury

are Large on Paper.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. = The
President today sent a message to
the Senate in answer to resolution
of inquiry, transmitting a report from
the State Department upon tAe claims
for compensation of B. II. Henry and
other citizens of Oregon for lands on
the Fiji islands taken by the British
authorities The report shows that
the claimants were rather severely
treated by the British commission
which adjusted the titles to lands on
the islands in the application of very
technical rules. Incidentally the
Secretary, of state calls attention to
the fact that he is prevented from
submitting all the documents called
for 10y the Senate by reason of their
great bulk
