OUTLINED BY SALISBURY IN HIS
ANNUAL ADDRESS AT GUILD
HALL.
NO WAR OVER VENEZUELA.
ENGLAND HAS ACCEPTED AN
AMERICAN BASIS FOR ARBI-
TRATION.
THE NEW LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.
His Inauguration the Occasion of a
Stately Ceremonial and Unusual
Honor to Mr.. Bayard.

LONDON, Nov 9-The interest of
London and of all England today CEN
| tered around the annual lord mayor s
| show and most of all in the address
| which, according to custom, Lord Sal
| isbury delivered at Guild hall at the
formal banquet which followed the
inauguration of the newly chosen Of
ficial. The show was eminently sue
| ceSSful, and the address of the premier
| of quite as general interest as had been
anticipated. In informally outlining the
| policy of the government, Lord Sails
| bury said that England and the United
States had agreed upon a basis of ar
bitration in the matter of the Vene-
zuelan boundary, and that it was an
| American basis, though not the one
originally submitted by Secretary Oh
ney, and that the episode might be
considered as closed. In reference to
the Eastern question, the premier said
that England would not depart from
| the plan of action which has been fol-
| lowed, but would act only in concert
with the other powers. He denied that
England would abandon Cyprus as a
means Of settling the policy toward
| Turkey. In his address the premier
also made guarded references to the
election in America and to the revela-
tions regarding German diplomacy
which have been the talk of Europe. A
feature of the events of today was the
marked and unusual honor paid to AM
bassador Bayard and the friendly spir-
| it shown toward America. All the
morning papers contain editorial ref
erence to the Marquis of Salisbury's S
speech. The Graphic says: The Vene-
zuelan settlement is practical and eQui-
table and is credit to all concerned.
1t fully justifies the Intervention Of
the United States.
The Daily Mail comments as follows:
Now that the United States has met
us on such satisfactory terms, the ar
ranging of the final settlement will be
awaited with quiet confidence. The
grave danger of a fratricidal war has
been safely passed over.
The Times expresses regret that the
change of presidents in the United
| States will serve to remove Mr.. Bay
ard, United State ambassador, from a
post which he has filled with so much
distinction. AS to Lord Salisbury's
speech, it says: Lord Salisbury omit
ted to state the details Of the Vene-
zuelan settlement, but we believe that
| it will be found that where fifty years
! British occupancy can be proved, arbi-
tration shall be barred The Graphic,
on the contrary, in referring to the
same subject, thinks that twelve years
occupancy is meant as the limit be-
yond which arbitration shall be barred.
The Chronicle OiberaD condemns
Lord Salisbury for his f1ippancy in
dealing with the grave Turkish prob
lem. His Venezuelan statement"
adds the Chronicle, which, momen-
TONS if was he chara otariSti 1IU he
Titled, is rather puzzling. But we sup
pose it is all right, and that we shall
soon be celebrating our great arbitra-
tion treaty with the United States"
The Morning Post Conservative re-
CARDS Lord Salisbury's statement of
the Venezuelan question as wholly sat
isfactOry. The Standard (Conserva-
tive). in it's editorial, says: How far
the decision in reference to the settled
districts Gn Venezuela) implies an
abandonment of Schomburgk line as
detail which a fuller knowledge of the
local facts will clear up. At present
| it is enough to welcome an adjust
ment of differences which were deeply
deplorable on both sides of the At
lantic.''
The Daily News NiberaD, arguing
some previous decision of the privy
council in colonial cases, notably in
the Quebec case of Macdonald VS..
Lambe, supposes that fifty years oc-
cupation of the settled districts in
| Venezuela gives title.
LORD MAYORS SHOW.
In bright, crisp, sunny autumn
weather today the time-honored Lord
Mayors Show took place, and the
new lord mayor of London, Mr.. A.
| Faudel-Phillips, was formally installed
In office, succeeding Sir Walter Will
| kins
The old-established custom showed
little sign of becoming obsolete, and,
| owing to the popularity of the new
| lord mayor. and some unusual feat
| ures in the street parade, the occasion
was the most interesting of recent
| years.
The committee having charge of the
arrangements wisely determined to
eliminate certain absurd features from
the parade. Hitherto it has been GUS
tomary tc have a series of triumphaI
| cars, representing some ailegoricaI or
| historical subject, upon which numer-
Gus young women have shivered in the
| November winds. In place of these
IN todays procession the cars were
occupied by groups showing the vari-
| Gus conditions Of London's Industries
during the past century.
The procession started from the
Guild hall at 1890 a. m. Along the
route the usual bunting and decora-
CtOAAo NSAC NAopldySQ, THESE D01nR par
ticularly noticeable in Cheapside and
NeWgate street. A particularly pleas
ing feature of the parade was the
maids of honor who accompanied the
lady mayoreSS. The ladies who off
ciated in this capacity were Miss Fau-
del-Phillips Miss Stella Faudel-PhiI-
lips, Miss Wingfield, Miss Churchill.
Miss Watrond, Miss Fitz George, Miss
Evans and Miss Walter. For the first
time IN the history of these parades
the maids were attended by the fol-
lowing gentlemen as groomsmen: The
Hon. N. w. Hill-Trevor, Second Life
| Guards; Capt. Ellison, Ninth Lancers.
Capt. Taggart, Fifteenth Hussars:
capt. Freyer, Seventh Hussars: Mr..
Cecil Lowther, Scots Guards: Mr.. r..
M. w. Larking, Scots Greys; Mr.. II
Mathieson, Coldstream Guards. and
Mr.. Chatworth Musters. Third Hussars.
Another feature of the procession
was the military display. The new lord
mayor is an authority on street pa
geantry He is also a great advocate
OF military bands and military specta-
cles, and this feature was largely de-
veloped. The Scots Grays furnished
the escort, and several line regiments
also marched in the procession. The
boys of the ships Arethusa, Chicester
and Warspite attracted much atten-
ton and were supplemented by a di-
vision of the Gordon boys orphan
! age.
The fire brigade also made an inter-
esting showing, and the advance which
has been made in locomotion during
! the century, was demonstrated by one
! of the most Derfect motor cars in con-
