President Cleveland Ready far Any Have efgpaia. Washington, Nov. 10. The King of Sweden and Norway, Oscar II, has been chosen by treaty between the I'nited j States and Great Britain as the fifth or final arbitrator of the Venezuelan l«>undary question. The old arbitrators, four in number, are to be designated, two by the lord chief justice of Kngland and two by the chief justice of the United States. This is the final and most important feature of the treaty for the complete ad! justment of the long-pending Venezuelan controversy. The treaty was concluded in Washington last night, at the Kritish embassy, Sir Julian Pauncefoterepresenting her Britannic majesty and Secretary Olney the United States. Since the return of Sir Julian from London three > weeks ago, negotiations toward a final settlement have been proceeding. Most of the meetings were of such an important I character that they were held either at Mr. Olney's residence or at the British embassy, the two houses l>eing but two blocks separated. It happened that the concluding meeting was at the embassy yesterday and special interest was given it from the fact that I,ord Salisbury, the British premier, was to make a speech at | Guild hall, London, in the evening. It is an annual event, at which the premier usually takes occasion to review the status of the most important international ques| tions. I'or thi8 reason it was desired, if 1 possible, to acquaint l.ord Salisbury of i the final and satisfactory adjustment of I the Venezuela question in order that he | might make such announcements as he I thought fit concerning it. 1 The main point, as already stated, is that King Oscar II., whose full title is "King of Sweden and Norway, the Goths and Vandals," is the fifth or decisive arbitrator. It was deemed best to make this choice rather than to leave it to the selection of the other four arbitrators. The latter are assured of being men of eminent judicial attainment, as their choice is left entirely to the judiciary of the respective countries. The other essential features of the treaty is that fifty years actual possession is to constitute title. With this limitation as to the settled districts, the entire sweep of Venezuela Imundary is placed in the handa of the court of aifcitration. The treaty covers only Venezuela, and the question of general arbitration between the Unitea States and Great Britain ia left to future negotiations. As a king seldom leavea hia country, except on state visits to other sovereigns, it is not expected that King Oscar II. will go outside of Sweden for the meeting or the arbitrators and the court is likely to sit at Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, where King Oacar'a palace and the halls of the Swedish rekaaag are located. it MflTTfl lneans iust w',at 18 says, "the sanm pric ■VIU I I If the sumo tlay to everybody."
