Tills remark was greet ed with loud cheer, as it dlnpose of the re- fuirt that the Liberal leadeis had determined o make uu attack upon the government's policy in regard to Veiie.tieln. Continuing, Hlr William Vernon Harcourt snld Monroeism was not a principal of inter national law, but ono of national policy, to which the Amerleuns have n traditional unit passionate nttie'liment, nail It was the sumo doctrine by virtue ot which Great Britain had Interfered In various states where, her Interests were alfectud. Blr William Harcourt then added: "I am in entire agreement with Lord Hullsbury when he says the United Htntes has a perfect right to interpose In nny controversy by which their own Interests ore affected, and they are entitled to Judgo whether their In-teri-sts are affected and In what measure they shall be sustained. Upon this doctrine IS fouudea the tialanco ol power; upon that grouud Great Britulu Interposed lu DtUclum, Greece. Turkey and many other idu' President Monroe limited It to the American continent. Tlio United Htntes has declared the controversies of the American continent to be of special Interest to themselves, nnd thoy will judge when and how they are called upon to interfere. That feeling is not disputed in the queen's speech, and I rejoice to see that it states a wish to co-operate with the gov ernment of the United Htatce, and the only practical qui-stton remaining is, whether the doctrine has been invaded In the cose of Venezuela. The United States bus not ma In any pronouncement upon this question, but has appointed a commission to inform their Judgments upon the subject. "it has been stated that the appointment Of this commission was au ofTeuso to the people and government ol Great Britain. Happily, the government does not take that view. The commission Is to Inform tho gov ernment of the Culled States, with which our government desires to co-operate. How can the United H tale of America co operate with us unless they have the Information which will enable them to co-operate lu set tling the boundary? "What the country demands without dis tinction of party Is that the dispute should be brought to uu honorable solution promptly. (Cheers.) If it is proved thut the rights ot Venezuela have not been invaded by Great Britain tlie I'nlted States of America will have no cause tor complaint. If wo have oc cupied territory to which we have no title we must not make any pretense to maintain that occupation. The question must he set tled on the evidence, and what objection can be raised to arbitrament ol a third purtyV The government does not reject arbitration, aud the only question left is tne limitation of the boundary. There is a general desire that Justice should bo dono." THE KOREAN REVOLUTION. News Prom tho Captain of th Ounboat Kaohis.
