Italy AND COLOMBIA AGAIN.

Recently published accounts Of the status OF
the controversy between Italy and Colombia
over the Cerrutl claim appear TO have been In
accurate and incomplete, and to have led tht
paper in It's issue of yesterday. ln'o some re-
grottable errors in commenting thereon. The
statement was made that S2OO,OoN Of the award
OF s3OO.OOO made by the arbitrator, Mr.. Clcve-
land. In March, 1897, had not yet been paid, al
though under the terms of the award It was 10
he paid with interest within nine months. The
fact Is that it was paid in full within the pre-
scribed time TO wit, on December >, 1897, and
Colombia was thus guilty of no default
The present controversy. or the one which Is
now reported to have inst been settled, was
over another matter The 9Th article Of the
award provided that Colombia should, besides
paving the Indemnity Of S30o,OoO. reimburse
Signor Ccrruti for whatever he might he com
PEELED 10 pay Oh account Of the debts due by his
Arm which might be established against him
after all dcfences which could or should he
made had been interpOsed: but II did not pre-
scribe how this feature of the award should be
executed or how the dcfpnces should be made.

and M present there exists no pecuninry de-
mnnd whatever against the Colombian Govern
ment on that account nor Is Italy herself able
10 state what, If anything ut all. should be paid
In satisfaction Of that fifth article Of tho award.
Acting on the friendly advice Of the United
States Colombia offered 10 withdraw her pro
test against the validity Of the article. and to
deposit with this Government n sum Of more
than $500, 600 10 pay such claims Of creditors as

INTEPBOROUGH TRANSIT.

The Ir,,,unc's suggestion of a few days ago.
that the transportation companies should build
at their own expense bridge across the East
River for their own exclusive use. has evidently
set nler to thinking. II has not yet been
udopted But the codncss-to put it mildly
with which IL was az first received has been
changed into practical and not unfriendy CON
sheraton The president Of the Brooklyn
Heights Railroad Company ~ first declined TO

was done the newspapers would denounce the
cOrpOratons. That was scarcely Just to the
rewsparers. for Mr. Rossier must himself bear
witness that The Tribune has all along given
him credit for an earnest and enlightened ambi-
ton 10 give TO Brooklyn tho best possible street

no means unfavorable to the proposition He
Is apparently not yet ready 10 undertake the
building Of q bridge. But he says that " the

EARL DELAWARE ACQUITTED.
HE IS ABSOLvED OF ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY
IN HOOLEY CASE. BUT IS ORDERED
TO PAY COSTS

London, Aug. lin the Queens Bench Diyisio>
OF the High Court Of Justice to-day. Justice Wrteb,
acquitted Earl Delawarr and Mr.. Broadley Of tina
charge of contempt OF in the alleged attemn,
to induce Ernest Terah Hooley. the bankrupt com.
pany promoter to falsely his evidence In the Bank
ruptcy Court.
The Justice said that while he must absolve rs,,
Delaware O. the charge OF bribery he must hold
that the Earl had wrongly tried to induce Mr.
Hooley 70 correct sworn statements made by him
In the bankruptcy proceedings. and had wrong
fully promised to help Mrs. Hooley.
Mr. Hooey. the Justice sad. ought not 10 b
regarded as a mere liar scattering statements ana
accusations without foundation, as had been sue
gestcd by the respondents: but ms. on the wtnes,
stand he was rash, reckless and Inaccurate a.
pearlng sometimes to be suffering from illusions
in a hopeless attempt 10 disentangle the true from
the false his evidence was unsafe TO act upon
especially in q case OF such importance
Justice Wright said ne thought Mr.. Hooley was
wrong in testifying that the document containing
the corrected statement was written by MT Broad.
;ey IN the presence OF Earl Delawarr. Mr. Brad.
shaw's evidence as to Earl Dclawarr's proposal to
help Mrs Hooley was remarkable although Mr.
bradshaw had no cause TO testify falsely
7, must be remembered. the Judge continued
tina, the Earl had an overwhelming motive for OBJ.
tanning Mr. Hooleys retraction lie could not be-
IIeve that Il was out Of mere charity that Earl
DeJawarr had promised Mrs. fiooie| ti"'' Oh the
contrary. he was forced to the conclusion that the
promise was connected with the EarFs strong and
natural desire to clear himself from Hooley's &C
cusations Nevertheless. he acquitted Earl Della
vorr Of tho imputation Of inducing Mr. HSoley to
testify falsely. .
with regard 20 the alleged bribery. he could not
wholly absolve Earl Delaware. with regard 10 the
money the Earl received. possibly the latter be-
eved II was received for services rendered or as
Gift from Mr.. Hooley. The Judge said he sup
posed that was generally the way names we're paid
for but as these proceedings were only INTENDED
to vindlcate Justice II would be suficient punish.
mont for Earl Deawarrs indiscretion II the Court
ordered him to pay costs
With reference TO Mr.. Broadey's case Justice
Wright considered him. he said. much more guilty
in asking Mr. Hooley falsely 10 say that ne MADE
q re,raction without communicating with Earl De.
Iewarr Broadley guilty OF subornation Of
perfury and. while he Nhe judge was In doubt
whether he ought not 20 deal very differently VITA

order in Broadley's as in the Earl OF DelA'
