The mnrqtils of Hnllibury lalj IWire tho house of lords Friday pnpers on the subject of arbitration. Hi lord-Up said thnt the negotiations between the I'nlte I State and Ilrltuln were not complete, hut thnt they a.-o nlvnnclng amicably. On the smaller ques tion of Venezuela, regarding which the I'nlted States hnd assumed nn nttltude of friendly protection, dlfllcultle arose out of the fact ilmt Venezuela's claim placed two thirds of tho colony of llrittsh Oulnna sub Ject to arbitration. The llrst thing necessary was to ascertain the real facts lu regard to the controversy from the history ot Vene. xueln. W hen that had been fully ascertain ed by n commission lu which both countries had confidence, he felt that the diplomatic questions which would follow would not be very difficult of adjustment, but even If they should be, tlmso difficulties would be over come by arbitration. It had been Impossible to move faster owing to the absence of a full knowledge of the facts In the case. The labor Involved had been enormous. In regard to a general system of arbitration hctwecu the I'nlted states and tlreiit Itrltaln, Lord Salisbury said, there would be no diffi culty In dealing with such ca- so larg a to contain issues of a vital diarai'ter. After much discussion with the (.'nlted States upon thnt point, he thought that the tend ency of tlm flitted States was to desire the rapid and summary deeudou of a question. The llrittsh government thought that the principal of obligatory arbitration wa at tended with considerable hazard. 1'roper machinery must llrt be provided. In r-'cent years the I'nlted States had evinced a dispo sition to take t:ji th? ratine of many South AnierlcSn iT-pnulii -sibyl thj government had not quarreled with that disi -itbTTI. ureal l'rltaln. his Jv-rJshlp added, had laen siinjiitr fiitcres!

For these reasons, his lord ship said, he hnd approached the question with considerable cautlou. He felt that lu a matter of such supreme Importance it wn necessary to be careful of every step that he was tuklng. Lord Salisbury concluded by saying thnt he had pursued, with the consent of the I'nl ted states, an unusual course in laying these papers on the table, while negotiations were still proceeding. This had been done In or der that -the best intellects on both sides should apply themselves to a matter affect ing the welfare of the whole human race in such a singular degree, nnd especially the good relations with the I'nlted states,' with which It wn the desire of the government to he nn the friendliest terms.
