In course Of time the great dictionary
appeared, and there, to his intense de-

This was the ingenious Chuffey's op-

ItaIy's Position.

The Italian position is OF course Of less
concern than that of the other allies. The
italian ambassador here, in his inter-
course with the state department. has
been extremely moderate anG considerate,
giving Secretary Hay the impression that
he is well disposed to seconG any effort
of the United States to terminate the
present dangerous situation.
The French government has served no.
tice that without abating her claims, the
payment for which has been arranged,
she also claims the right to have the
claims of French citizens, which have
arisen since the adjustment above spok-
en- of, considered by the joint tribunal
which will adjust the Venezuelan debts
upon a basis of equality with those of
other nations. This contention is strong
ly resisted by some of the allied powers
and Is one of the points which is likely
to lead to the consumption or much time
and which must be disposed OF before
final arrangement can be made to arbi-
trate the case.
