THE Q JEEN'S SPEECH.
Cnglaad'a De.lre for a Settlement of the
Yeaeineaa Dispute.
London, Feb. 13. There waa an
unusual amount of interest in the
opening of parliament today. Owing
to the many important questions that
will come before the present session,
nearly all the members of the house
placed themselves on record before the
party chiefa as hsving heeded the calls
for a full assemblage. That part of
the queen's speech referring to the
Venezuela affair follows:
"The government of the United
States has expressed a wish to co-operate
in the termination of differences
which have existed for many years be
tween my government and the republio
of Venezuela upon the boundary of that
country and my colony of British
Guiana. I have expressed my sym
pathy with a desire to come to an
equitable arrangement and trust fur
ther negotiations will lead to a satis
factory settlement"
Sir William Haroourt, commenting
on tne speecn, said ne rejoiced at tne
paragraph with regard to Venezuela,
as it held out the hope that the ques
tion could be settled st an early date.
He added that no words that could
impede such a settlement would fall
from bim. This was greeted with
loud cheers, as it disposes of the report
that the liberal leader had determined
to make an attack upon the govern
ment's polioy in regard to Venezuela,
whioh course necessarily would have
led to an exchange of warm remarks,
whioh might have impeded the pro
gress of the settlement of the dispute.
Continuing, Sir William aaid mis
understandings both in England and in
the United Statea existed, and had
caused ruffled feelings on both sides.
The idea that Great Britain disputed
the application of the Monroe doctrine
waa nothing new or etxraordinaty.
Monroeism, be asserted, was not a
principle of international law, but one
of national polioy, to which the Ameri
cana have a traditional and passionate
attachment and it was the aame doc
trine by virtue of whioh Great Britain
had interfered with varioua states
where her interests were affected.

Chicago, Feb 13. In the superior
court today Judge Horton decided the
celebrated Paoifio railroad case, award
ing the viotory to the stockholders.
The Paoifio railway was a Los Angeles
street car line, in whioh C. B. Holmea,
the former superintendent of the Chi
cago City Railway . Company, was
largely interested. The matter was
recently revived in a bill brought by
the creditors of the defunct company
to force the stock liability of the stock
holders, inoluding sixty prominent
Cbioago business men. It is on thia
bill that Judge Horton passed, holding
that the stock liability cannot properly
be enforced.
