BARON CoURCElL SUGGESTED.
Eminent French Diplomat May he the
Fifth Arbitrator on Venezuelan
B6tndart Question.

Washington, April 1S.-The name of Baron
Courceil. the eminent French jurist and
diplomat. at present French ambassador to
Great Britain, proba blk will be suggested
of arbitration between Venezuela and Great
Britain. The treaty of arbitration recently
ratified by these two governments provides
that the fifth arbitrator shall be chosen by
the four designated to represent the two
countries, and. in the event Of their inabil-
ity to agree on a fifth. then King Oscar, of
Norway and Sweden, is to name the final
arbitrator. There appears to be little doubt.

reach an agreement, and. with this end
made as to the availability Of Baron Cour-

an agreement may be reached within the
three months prescribed
Up to the time of his sudden death a few
days ago. Mr.. James ]. Storrow, chief
counsel for Venezuela, had made, careful
inquiry as to the, availability of Baron
Coiirceil as the fifth arbitrator.
The abilities of the French diplomat were
regarded as eninently fitting him for the
place: 1t was felt. however. that jas France
had a boundary dispute with Brazil in
volving the same points, as the Venezuela
British case. Baron Courceil might have
fixed courictions concerning the issue in
volved. Mr.. Storrow conferred with the
French embassy in Washington. and the
general conclusion reached was that Baron
Courceil could have no prejuSices by rea-
son of the Franco-Bra lillian boundary con-
test, which also has been submitted TO ar
titration by q treaty just signed The in
Quiries left little doubc that the French
diplomat would be suggested as the fifth
arbitrator.

jurists of Europe. and as such was chosen
