ARBITRATION COMMISSION.
Venezuela IS Large Representation as That
OF Allied Powers.

Washington. ID. c. tSpeciaD.-Dc-
tails oi the terms OF the proposed ar
bitration between Venezuela and the
allied foreign powers are gradually be-
coming known.
The arbitration commission will be
composed oil as many members repre-
sorting Venezuela as represent the al
lies. Ii the foreign court is made UP OF
seven members. the powers will name
three and Venezuela three and the six
will agree on the seventh In that case
Germany England and Italy each would
name one Blu; ii the tribunal is com
posed OF only five members. as is
thought likely. the three powers will
have to agree ON their two arbitrators.
Some think the allies overlooked a
point in agreeing to have only as many
arbitrators as Venezuela. but that has
been the understanding oil the State De-
partment from the first. As the allies
are operating jointly ii is regarded as
natural that they should present their
case through Joint representatives.

powers at China'S refusal Ia pay i'll

The United States has always held

velop into something more threatening

be. for China is in dire straits fnan-
cially and commercially. The United
States has always been China's friend
in this matter. simply because China is
right in refusing TO pay the indemnity
at higher rate OF exchange than pre-
vailed in April. 1901.
Just when the powers will take il
upon themselves TO threaten China with
partition or attempt some other dras
tic measure remains TO be seen. Moral
sentiment is unquestionably on the side
OF China"
