OUR COMMISSIONERS RECOGNIZED Her Majesty's Government Will Submit Documentary Evidence to the Vene zuelan Commission to Prove the Justice of Her Claim. London, Feb. 13. Tho Prlncoof Wales, thoDukoof York, thoDukoof Connnught, tho Mnrquls of Salisbury nnil other dis tinguished porsonnges woro among thoso present In tho houso of lords during tho rending of tho quoon's spoeoh. Tho Prin cess of Wnles was In tho poprosses' gallery, anil (hero wero ,a largo number of ladles in tho sldo galleries. Inthodobato-ivhlch followed Sir Will lam Vornon Hareourt said ho was rejoiced at tho paragraph in tho queen's speech with regard to Venozuoln, ns It hold out tho hopo that tho question would bo settled nt nn oarly dato. Ho added that no words that could impedo such asottlomont would fall from him. This remark was greotod with loud cheers, as It disposes of tho report that tho Liberal lenders had determined to mako an attack upon tho government's policy in regard to Venezuela. Continuing, Sir William said that mis understandings both In Kugland nud tho United States existed and had caused ruf lled feellngsrfju both sides. The Idea that America and Great Britain disputed tho ,quostlou of Monroolsm was nothing now or extraordinary. Monroolsm,ho asserted, was ,not n principle of International law, but ,oue of national policy to which tho Amer icans havo a traditional and passionate at tachment, and It wns tho snmo doctrlno ,by vlrtuo of which Great Britain had In terfered In vurlous states when her Inter ests .were affected. Ho proceeded: "I am In entire accord with Lord Sails bury whon ho says tho Unltod States havo a perfpct.rlght to interpose In any contro versy by which their own Interests nro af fected, and thoy nro entitled to judge whether their interosts aro affected and In what measuro thoy shall b9 sustained. That is a general doctrlno upon which all states act. Upon this Is founded tho bal iuico of power, and upon that ground Great Britain Interposed In Belgium, Greece, Turkey any many other places. Tho Mon roo doctrlno Is not an extension of this principle It is a limitation of what other states claim to exorciso ovorywhero. "If it is proved that tho rights of Veno Biiela havo not boon invaded by Groat Britain the United States of America will havo no cnuso for complaint. If wo have occupied territory to which wo havo no titlo wa must not mako any prctonso to maintain that occupation. Turning to Armenia, Sir William said: "Tho reference to tho subject in tho queen's speech Is disappointing. Those crimes aro matters for our special concern as wo aro parties to tho guarantee of tho powers. Undor tho Cyprus convention Great Britain specially covenants to de feud Turkoy In Asia, In roturn for which Turkey covenants to protect tho Christians In Armenln. Tho support, wo hnvp given Turkey was conditional upon tho coven ants which tho sultan has foully broken." Sir William Hareourt desorlbed Lord Salisbury's rocont spoeoh on tho subject of Armonla as an "unparalolledconfossionof diplomntlo insolvenoy and national impo tence." In replying to Sir Wllllaml Hon. A. J. Balfour, first lord of thb treasury and Con servative leader of tho houso, declared that tho government would furnish the Amer ican Venezuelan commissioners "all tho Information wo aro ablo to glvo at tho earliest possible moment. " Jlr. Balfour pointed out tho impossibility of Individual action on tho part of Great Britain In dealing with Turkey, Lord Hosobory critlclzod tho govern ment's policy, and Prima Mlnlstor Sails bury was loudly greeted whon he rose to reply. Speaking of Venezuela he said: "I do not think that tho invoking of tho llonroo doctrlno was controversially quite unnecessary for tho United States. Con sidering tho position of Vouezucla In the Carrlhoau sea, It was no more unnatural that tho United States should take an In terest In it than wo should fuel an interest in Holland and Belgium, nud from that point of view I trust tho negotiations will contlnuo. "I do not Uko to go further Into a ques tion obviously undesirable to stnto in tho condition of negotiations at present, but I havo had an Increasing belief during tho past fow weeks that wo shall perhaps find 80,1110 satisfactory sottlomont, and all dan ger of a rupturb of rolatlous between tho two nations bo entirely removed. I think wo aro rightly relying upon tho question of arbitration." This morning's Times publishes tho cor respondence between Ambassador Bayard and Lord Salisbury, in which tho British premier agrees to submit to tho American Venezuelan commission tho documentary evidence supporting Kuglnud's claims.

This was agreed upon by a conferouco of ,nll tho prominent lenders In Washington last week, ond thoy wero unanimous. Noth ing will chnugo this determination." Governor Hastings last night gnvo out tho following statement rclatlvo to Sena tor Quay's candidacy for tho prosldoncy: "I nm for Quay If ho Is a onndldato. Somo timo ngo, hut sinco tho stato convention Inst August, Quay assured me that If I ilostred the voto iof tho delegation from Pennsylvania at tho noxt national conven tion ho would bo for mo. This I declined. I know there was no show for my nomina tion, and was not hunting for compli ments. Sorintor Quay's candidacy would hnve a two fold effect In Pennsylvania. It would reunite tho party on broad and lasting foundations, which every truo Re publican would welcome, and It would help to dispel the Idea abroad In tho coun try that becnuso Pennsylvania Is tho lead ing Republican protection stato In tho Union, and always safe, thcreforo sho should uovcr huvo n presidential candidate.

RATE OF INTEREST CUT DOWN ! Four Per Cents. Will be Issued Instead of Fives, and tho Optional Provision Is Changed to Make the Bonds Re deemable at Any Time. Tho Ilorough Council held an adjourucd meeting List night to tako action on tho financial affairs of the borungh, but more especially to arrange for an issue of new borough bonds to redeem tbo old bonds that fell duo on January 1st, last. The members in atteudauco wero Messrs. McGuirc, Kane, Straugbn, T. J. James, D. R. James, A. D. Gable, Patrick Kerns, Michael Dougherty, Patrick Hand and Illchard Itcese. Thcro was but little discussion over the bond question, as it was pretty well under stood from tbo report of tho finance committee at tho last meeting that there was nothing to bo done but issue new bonds independent of the contract entered into by tho Philadelphia brokers, who had backed out. Ilorough Solicitor l'omeroy was present and read an amended ordinance providing for nn issue of bonds. It was promptly adopted aud will bo published at once, so that the bonds may be issued at au early date. The change under tho amendment gives tho borough tho right to redeem tho bonds at any timo after issue and cuts tho rate of interest down to four per cent. Tho old bondholders will bo entitled to piefcreuco to the amount of their present holdings. The law requires that this option shall be given. By fixing tho rate of Intcrestat four percent, the borough will save a great deal more than it would havo mado from tho premium con tracted for on tho fivo per cent, issuo. The reason tho brokers backed out of their con tract was that their lawyers had advised them that tho borough could only issuo bonds redeemable at any time after issue, aud had no power to put off that option for fifteen years. This point is covered by tho amended ordinance. It is more than probable that all tbo bonds will bo taken up by town parties. FREE FOR ALL. Free Lunch Variety at tho Hchellly House To-night.
