all its debts and resume business probably.

His Remarks 0n submitting the p,-

LONDON. July 1.-THE Marquis OF sal,.
bury laid before the House OF Lords To
day a paper on the subject OF arbitration
His lordship said the negotiations betuee,
the United States and Great Britain wer.
not complete, but they are adyancirg

had assumed an attitude OF friendly nro-

ton. The first thing necessary was TO as
certain the real facts in regard 10 the con-
troversy from the history OF Venezuela.
When that had been fully ascertained bv
a commission in which both countries had
confidence, he felt that the diplomatic ques-
tons, which would follow. would not be
very difficult of adjustment, but even II
they should be those difficulties would be
overcome by arbitration II had been i'm

ton between the United States and Great
Britain. Lord Salisbury said there would be
difficulty in dealing with cases so large as
to contain issues of a vital character. After
much discussion with the United States
upon that point. he thought that the ten
dency OF the United States was to desire

the principle OF obligatory arbitration was
attended with considerable hazard. Proper
machinery must DE first provided In recent
years the United States had evinced dis
position TO take up the causes OF many
South American republics, but this govern
ment had not quarreled with that dispO-
sition. Great Britain. his lordshp added

to remember that the claims of such peo-
pies may possibly become matters OF arbi-

guard against an obligatory system of arbi-
tration. For these reasons. his lordship said
he had approached the question with con-
siderable caution. He felt that in a matter
of such supreme importance IL was neces-
sary TO be careful OF every step that he was
taking.
Lord Salisbury concluded by saying that
he had pursued. with the consent of the
United States. an unusual course in laying
these papers on the table while negotiations
were still proceeding. This had been done
i'm order that the best intelects on both
sides should apply themselves to a matter
affecting the welfare Of the whole human
race in such a singular degree and especial

with which it was the desire of the gov
eminent to be on the friendliest terms. The
remarks of the Marquis OF Salisbury were
greeted with hearty cheers by the lords.

STRONG POINT.
There can be no arbitration i'm a true
sense. says Mr. Olney. without a final
award and it might be better to leave con-
troversies to the usual mode of settlement
than to enter upon proceedings which are
arbitral only in name and which are likely
to have no other result than to excite and
exasperate public feeling in both coun-
tries. Secretary Olney points out that his
amendment meets Lord Salisbury's obiec-
ton TO the single foreign arbitrator and
adds that IL bias on the part of foreign
1urists Is to be feared the United States
being without alliance with any country
is certainly not the party to expect an
advantage from that source. In concud-
ing this note he says
Finally. TO insist upon an arbitration
scheme so constructed that miscarriages
of justice can never occur is to insist up
on the unattainable and is equivalent to "a
REIMBURSEMENT altogether of the effort in
behalf of general system of international
arbitration An approximation TO truth

long run, conform to right and Justice

be placed upon the patient hearing and

GUIANA A LOVELY LAND.
AStalwart and Industrious Race InhabitD
Its Vast Forests.

It's Vast Forests.
z Aside from the mining camps the scat
tered inhabitants of the interior of Guiana
are Indians, chiefly Caribs and a few half
breeds Of Carib and negro blood, called
Cobungrus. They retain the many good
qualities of the aborigines, adding to them
the physique and strength of the West In
.dia negro. They are industrious, intelli-
gent, docile and always hospitable to
strangers. They love the open air and hate
to work in the mines. Their houses con-
Isist Of four posts supporting roof of palm
leaves. Sometimes thin walls are made Of
braided leaves and rushes.
The men are usually naked except for q
loin cloth of dark blue cotton and orna-
ments of alligators' teeth, monkeys teeth,
snake rattles and other trophies of the
chase. The women wear a single cotton
gown, cut low at the top and high at the
bottom, quantities Of beads around their
necNs and arms earrings and other orna-
ments They are large framed, stalwart
creatures, capable Of any degree OF endur-
ance, and they spend most OF their lives
in the open air. They swim like fishes,
shoot with guns and bows with equal IA
cility, handle boats as well as the men,
and the visitor might easily imagine regi-
ments OF amazons such as tho early voy-
ayers described. In their wars, which have
been infreq quent since the sixteenth GEN.
tury, the women have fought side by side
with the men, but they have never pro-
yoked hostilities. They are as civil and as
peaceable as any people in the world.
They sleep in hammocks made OF grass
fibers, handsomely ornamented with feath-
ers and skins of birds and snakes.
The foliage in the forests is marvellous.
The colors are intense, and the Towering
plants are almost infinite in number and
variety. The contrast between the bright
scarlet of some of the blossoms. the vivid
green of the leaves and the huge, dark
brown pods of the wild chocolate tree il
very striking. The air Is always full OF
the cries of animals, insects and birds.
There is no place on earth where vegetable
and animal life thrives SO luxuriously.
The Indians partake SO much of the ma
ture of the animal kingdom that they un-
derstand by instinct the nature and habits
of insects, reptiles, birds and beasts, and
they tame and train them without the
slightest difficulty. They consider tame
animals as legal tender In trade, with
which they purchase what they want from
their neighbors. They have no use for
money They spin the wild cotton and
work up various fiber plants with great
skill They weave exquisite hammocks
and handsome robes for ceremonial occa-
sions They make good pottery and deco
rate 1t with the same designs that arc
found among the incas of Peru.-Willianl
