LONDON PRESS COMMENT.

London. July 1S-All the London
journals this morning have comments on
the statements made by Lord Salisbury
in the house of lords yesterday, and on the
correspondence between the United States
and the British government on the Nene-
zuelan question, which he presented AT
the time he made his speech
The Graphic says of the blue book: 1T
shows that it is not Lord Salisburys fault
if the negotiations for an arbitration
treaty and for the settlement of the Nene-
Zuelan question have proved abortlve.
The attitude of the United States is UNI
compromising. Mr. Olney wants his own
way or he will accept nothing. This Is
not the temper in which such schemes
should be discussed.
The Daily News Q4iberaD, in its COM
ments, points out Lord Salisbury $ untls-
ual concession to the democratic spirit III
inviting the opinion of the country upon
the arbitration question, Inc Dally
News considers that the differences ne
tween Mr.. Olney and Lord Salisbury Is
one of degree and not one OF principle.
The Chronicle also Liberal, takes the
view that the Venezuelan blue book Is
tbe possible foundation stone of an edi-
fee to replace war among civilized ma
lions. The intellectual sword play be-
tween Mr.. Olney and Lord Salisbury is
indeed fascinating reading, says the
Chronicle. Mr.. Olney produces very
strong. if, indeed, it is not an unanswer-
able argument in reply to Lord Salisbury's
fears for the multiplication of claims I'M
der arbitration. We feel sure that the
reply of Lord Salisbury's appeal to the
country will he an overwhelming man

PRESENTED TO THE LORDS.

London. July 1.-THE Marquis of Sal
isbury laid before the house of lords to-
day papers on the subject of arbitration.
His lordship said that the negotiations
between the United States and Great
Britain were not complete, but were ad-
vancing amicably. On the smaller quGs-
ton of Venezuela, regarding which the
United States had assumed an attitude of
friendly protection, difficulties grew out
of the fact that Nenczuela's claim placed
two-thirds of the colony of British
Guiana subject to arbitration. The first
thing necessary was to ascertain the real
facts in regard to the controversy IRON
the history of Venezuela. When it'had
been fully asccrtained by a commission
in which both countries had confidence,
he felt that the diplomatic questions which
would follow would not be very difficult
of adjustment. but even if they should be,
those difficulties would he overcome by
arbitration. II had been impossible to
move faster, owing to the absence OF II
full knowledge of the facts i'll the case.
The labor involved had been enormous.
In regard to general system Of arb,
tration between the United States and
Great Britain. Lord Salisbury said there
would be difficulty in dealing with the
cases so long as they contain issues OF
vital character

A Good Thing

A unique and practical plan for
university extension work for the
individual home circle, or for class
in clubs, is about to be started in
Pine Bluff. Prof. Joseph E. John
ston is in the city representing the
University Association and
Worlds Congress Extension. He
is endeavoring to interest those
who are interested in books or
university study in the course pro-
vided by this Unworthy Associa-
ton. This institution is not con
nected with any one university
but is rather a federation of the
teaching powers of the principal
universities and colleges through
out the world. This institution
will go far towards meeting the
want that has been felt in this
community, namely, the want Of
a system of higher education. II
will have the additional advantage
of bringing together, occasionally
the literary and progressive men
and women IN d class ffeEr- the lpur:,
pose of stimulating thought and
fostering the desire for systematic
reading and study. In this course
Of study the first year will be de
voted to study Of Universe
History; the second to University
Literature. The other courses
will follow in order, such a
astronomy, civic, political econo
my, geology, etc. Prof. Wither
