Lord Ruuell prefaced his words by a modest but bandsome acknowledgment of the hearty welcome with which he was honoured. Speaking of the movement for arbitration, Lord Russell

London, August 22nd. Commenting upon the address of Lord Russell of Killowen, Lord Chief jewice of England, na "International Arbitration" before the American Bar Association at Saratoga, NY, the Times this morning says editorially:" It is an open secret that Lord Russell was encouraged to accept the Saratoga invitation by stas bellyel both political parties, because it was believed tendency that his presence there would have a to promote peace and goodwill between the United States and England. His address makes for peace, and it is welcome, because it resembles the calm summing up of the Judge rather than the one-sided statement naturally to be found in the argument of a lawyer."..

TIENT'SIN NOTES.

BERLIN, August 17th. The question which is now agitating the minds of the inhabitants of the German capital in whether or not the Tsar will come to Berlis. Up to this time it has merely been officially announced that the Tear and Tarina will be the guests of the Emperor at Breslau and Gorlitz, bat as Vienna and Paris will be the scones of elaborate receptions the Berliners are jealously anxious lest the Tax and Tsarina should slight their city. Some of the newspapers declared their belief that it is the intention of the Russian Emperor to come here, but to give to his visit an aspect of minor importance. This has aroused the leaders of official circles, as evidenced by an inspired article in the Cologne Garelts, which not only sharply rebukes the grumblers but is seemingly latended to give positive intimation to the public that it is not the Intention of Nicholas II. to visit the city of Berlin at all and has not been from the first The paper makes no direct announcement to this effect, however, and the whole matter probably awaits the doäntie decision of the Tsar.

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 18th. Lord Salisbury from the firat bas insisted that the settled district of Venezuela was sovereign British woll which could not be subjected to the Judgment of arbitrators. Secretary Olney has urged that the omission of this settled portion from the arbitration would defeat the whole scope of the arbitration, as the unsettled or worthless sections were not what Veneruels contended for. The latest view of this phase was presented in a brief by Mr. Storrow, lawyer at Boston. The Stonow brief was läld before the Venezuelan might be referred to arbitration and
