-" SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT,

'' G1H WILLIAM HARCOURT.
Ssela, .as it holds out the hope that the
question could be settled at an early
date, He added that no words that
eould impede such settlement would
aaAhom him. This remark was
:: crested with Loud Cheers,
ss hdisposes of the report that the Lib
sHAl leaders had determined to make all
attack npon the governments policy in
1egard1 to Venezuela, which course
necessarily would have led to an ex-
change Of warm remarks which might
have ftmpeded the progress of settle.
Aent Of the dispute.
Continuing, Sir William Vernon Har-
court said: II am in entire agreement
nent with Lord Salisbury when he
1ayg the United States has a perfect
6Eht to interpose in any controversy by
which their own interests are affected.
and they are entitled to judge whether
their interests are affected and in what
pressure they shall be sustained That
p a general doctrine upon which all
4Ates let. Upon this is founded the
4elanee of power, and upon that
ground Great Britain interposed in
Belgium, Greece, Turkey and many
other places. ~.
The Monroe Doctrine Not Disputed
THE Monroe doctrine is not an ex-
tansiol Of this princi pie; it is limita-
4n 6 What other states claim to exer-
~ everywhere. That feeling is not

1esns - - il states wish to COOP
yDAS-~'stA- eA>--s -sovosnnnont nf the
OAieed States. The United States
have not made any pronouncement
upon this question, but have appointed
\ commission to inform their judg-
Ments upon the subject. 1t has been
stated that the appointment of this
commission was an offense to the peo.
pie and government of Great Britain.
Happily, the government does not take
that view" ..,..
set Will Aid the Commission.
Hon. A, J. Ba]four, first lord of the
treasury and Conservative leader in the
house, was loudly cheered when he
arose to reply to the Liberal leader. He
said: ~"
1.-THE American commissioners have
applied to US to aid them with any in
formation we have on the Venezuelan
question and we have promised to give
them all the Information we are able to
give at: the earliest possible moment.
No false pride OF diplomatic punctilio
viii be allowed to stand in. the way of
4 settlement as far as we are concerned.
should rejoice if out of this evil
should spring some general system of
arbitration"
&c., In tho House OF Lords.
Reference to the Venezuelan matter
in the house of lords was in the same
strain. ~' .:~. r..
Lord Salisbury, the premier, said;
IT do not think that the invoking of
the Monroe doctrine was controversally
quite unnecessary for the United
States, Considering the position Of
Venezuela in the caribbean sea, it was
no more unnatural that the United
States should take an interest in it
than; that we should feel an interest in
Holland and Belgium, and from that
point Of view trust the negotiations
Will continue 'At the same time, I do
a9t Xish the house to think that we
haNe arrived at any agreement I
thinlk We are rightly relying upon the
question Of arbitration. * iii.
