Talk With the Gentleman.

Mr.. Henry Norman, the assistant editor
and special commissioner Of the London
Daily Chronicle, who left London by the
first steamer after the publication OF Presi-
dent Clevelard's message on the Fenczuc-
Ian boundary question, is in the city.
MIR. Norman has the unique experience
for an Englishman of being a graduate of
Harvard, OF the class OF 81. He has Travelled
extensively over the United States having
been in every one of the States except five.
He also spent several months few years
ago in studying Canada. Therefore 1t was
that the editor OF the Chronicle Mr.. II. ii.
Massingham, one OF tine mCst influential
journalists of London, ard Mr.. Norman's
most Intimate FREUD. urged him TO come TO
America andd do his best, from his knowledge
of the country, in the interests Of peace.
MORE UNPUBLISHED DISPATCHES.
The reporter asked Mr.. Norman IL he
would give any further information about
the unpublished dispatches which have
made such sensation in Lordon since he
cablcd them from Washington, and have,
the Chronicle asserts, invalidated Lord
Salisbury's reply to Mr.. Olney and rem
dered necessary a revision of the British
contention about the Schombursk line.
IL am pledged" he replied, "to say moth
Ing about the source of them. They are at
this moment in the safe or the Arlington"
Have you any more coming!' he was
asked.
My present object" he replied, lis TO
find golden bridge on which the response
BILE statesmen OF the two countries may ad-
vance to meet one another. l hope l have
already done something to facilitate such
q course"
'Then you do rot think there will be a
prolonged dispute?"
UNANIMITY OF Sen TIMENT.
mo, have been immensely struck by
the fact that here In America there is the
keenest desire among the influential 10
settle this matter as soon US possible, and
must add that / have hardly met a single
man. even among those denounced in New
York rs 'Jingces,' with whose sentiments
found myself in serious disagreement,
.'The American Government and people
are perfectly steadfast, SO far as can
judge, in support OF principle which they
consider essential TO their future national
welfare. And if weIc an American
should, no doubt, think exactly as they
think.
Moreover, find myself in agreement
with those who Tod that over so infinitely
trifling matter as this Venezuelan bound
airy, the demand fer arbitration is a demand
in the interests OF civilization.
From my advi1cs 1TCm London believe
this view TO lie gaining ground there and
that Lord Salisbury will eventually give
way to il, a course which l am sure he will
find way To aGCpt without the slightest
loss of national er Personal dignity.
When lie does an sue, tCo, that the
American press will lie ready to recognize
tie wor,h OF his motives ard refrain from
unworthy cock-a-lood!, o. For the sake
OF the liberty of the individual man, of
which the two English speaking nations
are almost the only buIwarks, we should
come To quick and lasting understand
