AsGLo-AMERIcAN ARBITRATION
International Negotiations SIN
Proceeding, Says Mr.. Curzon, Brit
fish Under-secrctary for Foreign
Affafrs-The TransvaaI.

LONDON. April 2S.--In the House Of
Commons to-day Mr. Labouchere asked
the government number of questions in
regard to the Venezuelan dispute, among
them whether the plan proposed by the
United States Government 10 refer the
Venezuelan frontier dispute to com
mission composed OF two English, two
American, and one neutral member or the
chief Justices OF England and the United
States, and one neutral member. had been
declined by Great Britain; whether Vene-
zuela had been excluded from the general
scheme OF arbitration which Great Britain
had submitted to the United States;
whether negotiations between England
and the United States still continue, and
whether any agreement is probable before
the United States Congress adjourns, in
May.
In reply TO these questions, Mr.. Curzon,
Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said
that negotiations with the United States
in regard to Venezuela were still proceed
ing. but it was not advisable at This time
to make any statement on the subject.
Mr.. I.abouchere asked whether the gov
eminent expected a favorable result from
the negotiations. Mr.. scurzon said that
was unquestionably the hope of her Ma
jesty's Government.
Sir William Harcourt: give notice that
! will ask question upon this subject on
Monday next.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain. In reply to
questions by Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett,
said that the Transvaal Government had
MI no wa "a OF p
and western boundaries of the territory
of the South African republic. to prevent
the introduction of the pinderpest into the
country.
He did not know, he said. how many
foreigners who had received a military
training had entered the Transvaal since
January LIST. The right of allowing Ger
man immigrants 10 enter the Transvaal
had never been disputed.
Hon. w. s. T.. Brodrick, Parliamentary
Secretary for the War-Office, stated that
it was the intention Of the government TO
send from England further drafts of
mounted infantry to Natal. The items OF
expense attending these movements, he
said, would appear In the estimates.
Mr.. j. II. Dalzel. Liberal, asked Mr..
Chamberlain whether In his speech at
the banquet of the Constitutional Club
last evening he had referred TO the ad-
minlstration OF the Transvaal Govern
ment as being corrupt and defective I'm
all its departments, and subject for
just criticism.
Mr.. Chamberlain admitted having stated
as facts what were matters OF common
report, and had so long been so that he
had not thought II necessary TO pace upon
the table of the House the papers ne
cessary to support the charges.

OF the Venezuelan-wa scare in London
was promptly reflected in a decline at
the local Stock Exchange Of anywhere
from 1-4dl 1-2 per cent. in prices. In the
decline Sugar and the Internationals were
most conspicuous. The selling for foreign
account played directly into the hands
of the sold-out bulls. and the latter at
tempted to force further liquidations They
met with little success, however, as COM
mission houses bought literally at the de-
cline. AS a result OF this buying, the

New York Central sold at the best fig
ures attained since the current bull move
ment was inaugurated.
In the last hour OF business Tobacco

due TO an unconfirmed rumor that an In
