Mungo Nah Lobeh, the throne, or

the Peak of Camereons a. the whites

ern side of the African continent.
The first view the vogager gets Of it,
who, coming from the northward, has
been coasting for weeks, along low
shores, and up the rivers fringed with
mangrove swamp, is a thing no man can
ever forget. Suddenly, right up out of
the see, the great mountain rises to its
19,7so feet, while close at hand, to west
ward, towers the lovely island mass Of
Fernando Pc to its 1880 feet; and
great as is its first charm, every time

the knowledge, that so many forms CT

everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the

London. Eng, July 20.-The Chronicle

appear in the least an alarmist, we be-
lieve that the optimistic views prevail
ing here as to the settlement of the
Venezuelan dispute are not shared by
official circles in the United States
The Daily News LiberaD has an edi-
torial discussion on the correspondence
between the United States and the Brit
ish government on the sumject of arbi-
tration, in Which it says: 'Why not
embody the points Of argument already
arrived at in rhe Olney-Salisbury nego-
tiations in a treaty? We do not agree
with Mr.. Olney that nothing should be
done because he is unable to get the
whole. II will be worth while for Lord
Salisbury TO make as many concessions
in order to obtain a desirable object"
The Daily News also publishes an in
terview on this subject with the Right
Hon. James Bnce, Liberal member of
parliament for the south division OF
Aberdeen, and the well-known author
OF the American Commonwealth" Mr.
Rrice thought the difficulties in the way
of an agreement were in no way inSolu-
able. Lord Salisbury has been over
cautious and timid in the premises. He
saw distress that never really existed.
His proposal to exclude matters af-
fecting the honor and integrity of the
nation would seriously cripple the USE

thought that even territorial disputes
might be submitted. He would not
say that he agreed with Mr.. Olney, or
thfat he did not agree with Lord Sails

general scheme Of arbitration, and not
solely between England and the United
States, Were being arranged.
Mr.. Brice thinks that the proposal of
a joint commission or arbitration for
the Venezuelan dispute would find a
solution even Of the occupied land ques-
ton. He believes that the presidential
contest will not prevent or delay the
