London, Dec. 24-The decision o. President
Roosevelt respecting Venezuelan arbitration has
been awaited with keen interest in England.
The cogency of the objections urged by the
leading American journals is denied, but

Roosevelt as the arbitrator. The old Tory
Morning Post proposed the Presidents name
in advance of even the quick witted German
Emperor and the suggestion has been received
with a chorus of reclamation by the English
press. There Interior motives. This
Engl:-h preference is based upon respect for the
Presidents character and recognition of his
unique fitness for the duties of an arbitrator in
a case where a guarantee for payment of an
award is urgent needed, out may be dispensed

countenanced measures of Capitalization. and
frowned augrily whenever anybody talked about
havina patriarch or pope as head of the An
glicaa communion. Separa list tendencies inside
the English Church have been lessened by his
wise administration. and its independence and
catholicity were strenuously affirmed in his re-
ply to the Pope on the question of the validity
Of the Anglican orders His physical collapse
while speaking in the House of Lords was al
most as dramatic as Chatham's apoplectic seiz-
ure. but the shutting Education bill was
