DUNRAyEN INQUIRY OVER.
Nothing Is Known, However, of Re-
suit Reached.

NEW YORK, December 3l.-The spe-
cial committee Of the New York Yacht
Club, sitting as a court OF inquiry into
the charges made by Lord Dunraven
against the people In charge of the De-
fender, concluded its labor Of taking
testimony I'm the case at noon to-day.
The long array OF witnesses who took
the stand on behalf OF the Defender
syndicate, and gave evidence entirely re-
fut.ng the charges Of foul play brought
by the Irish Earl, had all been examined
by last night, with the exception OF some
OF the Triggers from New York and Bos-
ton. who added their quota this morning
to the already overwhelming mass OF re-
buttal testimony.
George II. Askwith, Lord Dunraven's
counsel, came alone, for the nrst time
since the session opened.
J. G.. Hamilton, Dunraven's private sec
retary. who was one OF the stenogra-
pliers OF the hearing. left on board the
North German Lloyd steamer Havel TINS

BOARD OF CANCELLATION.
That Is Advised with Reference to
Venezuelan Dispute.

LONDON December 3l.-The West
minister Gazette says: I'VE must not de-
Jude ourselves into thinking that the
Venezuelan crisis is passed. There is a
surprising depth and strength Of feeling
behind President Cleveland. Lord Sails
bury cannot retreat from his position of
refusing to submit the Venezuelan dis
pute to arbitration. and the Americans
will not retreat from the stand they have
taken"
The Gazette, in conclusion, advises that
both agree TO leave the whole matter to
a board of Cancellation. The countries
would not be bound to accept the decision
of such board 1t says but the chance
of reaching an acceptable compromise
would be very great.
