LONDO, July 10th,
The Pofly. Neror (L'hers!) has an editorial: discussing the correspondence between the
United States and British Governments on the subject of an a-hitrsilon tresty, in which it usics, "Why not embody the palats nf agreement already arrived at in the Olney-Sallshory megotiations in a treaty, trusting to the future for til farther agreement ? We are convinced that the Americans do not approve of Mr. Diney refusing the half because he is unable to get the whele foxf. It will be worth while far Lord Sallubory to make as many conceurlons ar possible in order to attain such a desirable object"
The Daily News alto publishes an interview on this subject with Right Hon. James Bryce, the Liberal member of Parliament for the South Division of Aberdeen, and the well-known author of "The American Commonwealth," Mr. Bryce thought the difficulties in the way of au Agreement were in no way insoluble. Lord Salisbury, he said, had been over-contious and timid in the nego irtops. He sees dangers that really do not exist. His proposal to exclude matters affecting the bonour and integrity of the bations would seriously cripple the usefulness of a Neibunal. Mr. Bryce thought that even territori i disputes might be submitted.
He would rotsay that he agreed with Mr. Olney or that he did not sgren with Lord Sailbury, but he certainly though! Lord Silsbury bad ́acted as though a general scheme of arbitration, and not one solely between England and the United States, was being arranged. Mr. Bryce ikinky the proposal of joint Commission of Arbitration for the Venezuelan dispara would find solution even of the settled lands la question, He believes that the Presenilsf context will not delay'ne prevent the conclusion of a treaty ; but still, he would like to see Lord Salisbury pash the negotiations..
The Chronicle says:—"Without desiring to appear in the least as an alarmist, we believe that the ontimist vins prevailing here is to the settlement of the Venezuelan dispute are not shared by official circles in the United Simies."
