Tho Monroe Doctrine Again.
Washington-, Fob. 12.—When the
Senate convened this morning Senator
Blanchard of-Louisiana spoke for Kie
passage of the L’avis resolution.
Senator Blanchard commended the
president for the reassertion, on an
enlarged basts, of the Monroe doctrino
and advocated that it be given legisla
tive indorsement. lie believed the
time had come for such a declaration
by Congress—broud, bold, comprehen
sive, not made in anger or menacing,
but firm. The Senator's speech tvasin
good temper and evinced a spirit of
kiudred friendship toward Great Brit
ain. Among other things he said:
"The United States is expected to
stand aloof from entangling alliances
with Europeans. We are to have, it
seems, nothing to do with European,
Asiatic* African or Australian con
cerns. We have heretofore steadily
adhered to this line of policy.
“Shutout of participation in Europ
ean politics, neither asking nor being
invited to take part in the same,are we,
too, to be deprived of the right to pre
scribe and dominate an American
policy? On this point the people of
the (Jn.ted Status are especially sen
sitive. Go ask tnc people of the great
West and those of the rapidly recuper
atillET Soulh nmi thev will t»ll von
that the time lias come for a broaden
ing of the scope of the Monroe doc
trine and for a much more enlarged
application of it. Seventy-three years
ago, when this doctrine was first pro
, claimed, the population of the United
States was a little more than 9,000,000;
from 0,000,000 of people then we have
multiplied to 70,000,000. From meager
resources wo have plowed and planted,
debred, mined and manufactured,
bunded and constructed our way to an
enormous aggregate wealth. We do
not have to make a demonstration on
land or sea to proclaim onr power nor
mark our readiness for war.
“This republic is not to act the big
brother to each turbulent or revolu
tionary republic or island on the West
ern hemisphere and couvulse the
world about matters of far less im
portance than many that arise in our
own country. Hut it does behoove
us to proclaim a distinctive American
policy abroad, a comprehensive policy
that includes within its scope the
three Americas, North, Central and
bon tli.
“The United States stands at the
head of the American sisterhood of,
states. She has an interest at once
direct and vital in the settlement of
everv question that can arise affecting
any portion of the American continent
or any one of the free states cn the
continent. Indeed, she has an inter
est in the settlement of every national
or international question that can
arise in the Western hemisphere. Nor
does this position on our part militate
against the right of any government
to protect its citizens in any part of
America, pr to enforce payment of
debts, or to secure indemnity for
wrongs. „
“The Monroe doctrine, even in its
present proposed enlarged scope, is
not to bo extended to interfere with
the business relations between the
American republics and Europe. We
would not interfere if war broke out
nnd such countries were overrun by
foreign troops. But neither as the
result of sueu war, nor as the result
of negotiations or treaty, can any
European power acquire additional
territory in America. War waged by
England or any other European power,
with South or Central American Coun
tries on any just ground, is no concern
of ours. Only such war must not be
oDe of conquest. And the war ended,
foreign troops roust, within a reason
oblc time, evacuate.
“Tho Central and South American
states desiring onr aid to prevent ac
quisition by conquest of any of their
territory by stronger powers, can not
object if wo insist that neither shall
they dispose of their territory to for
eign powers by treaty or other nego
tiation. Jt is a poor rule that will
not work both ways/’
Keorganlzstlon Deferred.
Washington’, Feb. 12.—The action
of the I’opulist Senators in deciding to
put their own ticket in the field for
the Senate offices has caused some of
the Republican Senators to doubt the
expediency of attempting to complete
the reorganization of that body at
this time, and it now looks as if the
attempt would be deferred, at least
until there is greater eertainty of ac
complishing something more than now
appears to be the case.

PROCRAM OF THE SENATE
Hearing* Set For Three Topic* of Im
portance—Vote on the Tariff Bill.
W’AsmsoTOS, Feb. 12.—Although
the Senate failed to accomplish much
yesterday, the session served to make
definite the program on a number of
important matters. Mr. Morrill, chair
man of the finance committee, gave
notice that he would eall up the tariff
bill on next Wednesday. Mr. Call se
cured unanimous consent that the
Cuban question be made the special
order following ‘the deficiency appro
priation bill. Mr. Davis, author of.
the Davis resolution on the Monroe
doctrine, gave notice that on next
Wednesday he would call up the reso
lution. Thus the three most Import
ant pending questions were given a
definite time for hearing.
Consideration was resumed on the
resolution directing the Secretary of
Agriculture to carry out the law for
the distribution of seeds, and Mr.
Vest, Democrat of Missouri, renewed
his criticism of the Secretary. The
Senatorcalled attention toa published
interview with the Secretary of Agri
culture inviting impeachment and im
plying that the President would veto
the resolution if Congress passed it.
In view of these statements, Mr. Vest
said, the President should have full
information on the subject, and he
proceeded to show from agricultural
department reports that the Secretary
had himscly, though opposing this
seed law, “used the appropriation for
his own purposes'* by making exces
sive seed distributions in his own
State of Nebraska.
“It is enough,” declared the Sen
ator, to make the star-eyed goddess of
reform hang her head and blush for
shame.” ► »
Mr. Vest offered a substitute resolu
tion, directing the Secretary of Agri
culture to purchase and distribute
seeds as in previous years, and to pro
cure them by open purchase or con
tract.

uossox. Fob. 13.—Tho speech of
Queen Victoria from tho throne, deliv
ered in tha.Hou.se of Lords at the
opening of Parliament yesterday, fur
nished tho occasion for some remark
ably pacific declarations on tho Venez
uelan boundary dispute. From the
remarks of Sir William Vernon Har
court and the reply of Hon. A. J. Bal
four, First Lord of the Treasury, it is
clearly apparent that both the Con
servative and Liberal leaders are de
termined upon a pacific solution of the
dispute. These declarations were
made in the House of Commons imme
diately after the reading of the speech
in that body.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said
he was rejoiced at the paragraph in
the queen’s speech with regard to
Venezuela, ms it held out the' hope
that the question could be settled at
an early date.
It has been said that the appoint
ment of the Venezuelan commission
was an offense to the people and gov
ernment of Great Britain. Happily
the government does not take that
view. The commission is to inform
the government of the United States,
with which our government desires to
co-operate. How can the United Ststen
of America co-operate with us unless
they have the information which will
enable them to co-operate in settling
the boundary?
Hon. A. J. Balfour, first lord of the
treasury, and Conservative leader in
the house, was loudly cheered when
he arose to reply to the Liberal leader.
Ho said: ‘‘Sir William Vernon Har
court has devoted much time to at
tacking views .which the government
has never held. Neither. I nor my
friends ever said • that the Monroe
doctrine was one to which we had a
right to object. It is of British origin,
and I do not see why we should crit
icise it.
‘•The American commissioners (on
the Venezuelan boundary) have ap
plied to us to aid them with any in
formation we have ou the Venezuelan
question, and we have promised to
give them all the information we are
able to give at the earliest possible
moment. (Cheers.) No false pride or
diplomatic punticillo will be allowed to
stand in the way of a settlement as far
as we are concerned.’
PAUL BRAY PROTESTS.
ffallert Son-In-Law Says Ilia Father Hu
Been Libeled by Secretary Olney.
Washington, Feb. 13.—Paul llray,
John L. Waller’s son-in-law, is trying
to get tho Kansas delegation together
in opposition to the President's mes
sage on the Waller case. The message
and accompanying documents may
not be printed for three or four days
and it is unlikely that tho Kansans
will take any action as a delegation
until they receive all the facts, llray
takes issue with the declarations made
by Secretary Olney and declares the
history of tho case as an attempt to
libel Waller.
It is not likely that llray will mus
ter any support to Waller’s champion
ship. The case, as presented by the
record, is regarded as conclusive by
men on both sides of the house, llray
believes that Waller will not avail
himself of the opportunity opened to
bring a suit in French courts, but that
lie will return home at once upon his
release. Kansas City, Kan., may see
him in the next cemnsign.
BY CATHODE RAYS.
Roentfeen’e S»w Light Used la a Chicago
Surgical Operation.
Chicago, Feb* 13.—Cathode rays
were put to a practical use - for
the first time in America to-day in
a surgical operation. Castar Smith,
who was shot in the band several
years ago, offered himself as a sub
ject to Dr. James E. llurry and
j Electrician Charles E. Scribner,
I who have been conducting a
series of experiments in the labora
tory of theWestern Electric Company.
The bullet was a small one and could
not be located by ordinary means.
[ Tho injured hand was exposed to the
cathode rays for about an hour. The
sensitized plate upon which the
wounded hand rested disclosed a like
ness of the auatomy of the hand and
between the bones of the third and
fourth finger could be seen tho like
ness of the bullet. An operation with
out tho use of. drugs was performed
and the piece of lead was removed.
MANITOBANS AROUSED.
The Introduction of the Remedial 11111
Causes Great Excitement.
Ottawa, Feb. 13.—The lion. A. R.
Dickey, minister of justice, introduced
the Manitoba remedial bill in the
House of Commons last night The
features of the bill have been out*
lined. Mr. Dickey announced that the
dominion government expects Mani
toba to facilitate the passage of the
bill. If it did not, further legislation
would be asked. The bill was given a
first reading. It is in the second read
ing that the debate will begin.
The introduction of the remedial
bill caused the wildest excitement in
Manitoba, the province most directly
interested in the passage of the meas
ure. The Ureenway government
openly announces that any attempt to
coerce Manitoba into submission will
bring on serious trouble and perhaps
rebellion

CIVIL SERVICE DISCUSSED;
A Bequest From Secretory Carlisle
Precipitates a rebate,
Washington, Feb- 13.—A discussion
of Secretary Carlisle’s observance of
civil service methods came up in the
Senate yesterday late in tlio session
on a provision of the deficiency bill
for tlio appointment of twenty-five ex
pert money counters. Mr. Chandler
sarcastically pointed out that the
| Secretary’s letter requesting the'
■ twenty-five counters asked that he be
given the selection, as the civil service
commission was not ablo to furnish
the class of counters required. It was
I thus discovered, said Mr. Chandler,
: that the civil service commission had
' broken down and was so feeble and
dilapidated that it could not furnish
j money counters.
Sir. Lodge, Republican, Massachn
; setts, said there was no decreptitude
i ir the civil service commission. This
| requ'est of the Secretary was due to
| his desire to control the appointments,
| Mr. Allen arraigned the civil service
system. It would in time turn over
our Government service to a lor of
“cigarette smoking dudes.” The Sen
ator said the two frauds of the public
service were the civil service commis
sion and the inter-state commerce
commission.
Mr. Wolcott interjected a brief but
somewhat sensational speech. He
said the real meaace to the country
was the power of patronage lodged
with the executive, and which had
never before been used to such an ex
treme as nnder tiie present adminis
tration. A free coinage bill would
have passed through the last House of
Representatives had not the power of
patronage been brought to bear by
j thfi administration, especially the pa
; tronage controlled by the Secretary of
the Treasury. Colorado is to-day flood
ed with appointments, many of them
unfit ones, made by the Secretary of
the Treasury for Congressmen who had
“ratted” on the silVer bill. Thus con
stituencies had been debauched. Tho
! best service that could be performed
[ would be to deprive the President ami
| his cabinet officers from the entire
' power of patronage, so that no longer
Senators and Representatives would
hang around the White hpuse and cab
: inet offices begging for morsels of
i patronage.
I this point the Senate adjourned.

DISASTER? POOH! POOH!
BUSINE88 MEN CONFIDENT THAT
THEIR 1NTERE8T8 ARB SECURE.
Immediately alter the election of
President Cleveland, on Nov. 11, 1892,
the above headlines appeared in a
democratic paper, the New York 8un.
Bat was it so?
We know only too well how business
men fared during 1893 and 1894. For
1896, Dun’s Review, Jan. 4, gave the ag
gregate liabilities of trade failures at
1173,196,060, against 1172,992,866 In 1894,
and the average per failure at $18,124,
against $12,458 In 1894. This does not
look as if the time had yet arrived to
pooh pooh the disaster of a democratic
000, Rhode Island $2,300,000, Connectl4
cut $800,000, New Jersey $600,000, Ohio!
$1,100,000, and Michigan $1,400,000. if
few other states show a small increase*
but the reBt a decrease. In these seven'
states the Increase is no less than $18,
<570,686, or 62.6 per cent over last year.**!
Pooh pooh the disaster? Not yeU
Dun’s Review says:
"The progress toward better things,
which seemed assured during part of
the year, has not been sustained.
"Rarely has there been a situation SO
complicated, and the near future Is dif
ficult to forecast.”
It is getting worse. There was an far
crease of $7,785,000 in the liabilities of,
the manufacturing failures during that
last half, of 1896 over and above thef;
amount of liabilities in the last half of -
1894. Judging by the records of failures)
published from day to day there are;
still more of the strong concerns going
under. Dun’s Review stated the reason
very clearly: '
"Men actually believed that the coun
try, with part of Its working force ua-|
employed, and with wages consider- •••
ably below those paid before the panic*
was going to consume more largely,‘
than It over had In the moot prosperous
years The consequence was a marked
Increase in the number of manufactur- ' ’
lng failures as soon as the excess of pro- , -»
duction began to appear.’”
. And what about all that talk Of
"higher wages.” ’-‘returning prosper**.'
Ity.” "greater activity In the factorise,'* 5

times,” that every democratic paper ha <
the country was falsely reporting 4wM|

An Increase of $6,556,298 In the lia
bilities of manufacturing concerns that
failed last year does not permit us to
pooh pooh disaster, especially when we
recollect that the democrats wiped out
all the weak concerns in 1893, immedi
ately after they assumed control of the
administration. That was their first
Job and they did it to the queen’s taste.
Now they are going for the larger and
more solid concerns. This is all that is
left for them to work upon.
It is the big republican states that
they are after now. "In seven states
the increase in manufacturing failures
for the year was $18,570,586, or 62.6 per
cent," says Dun's Review. Note the

How New York, New Jersey, Connec
ticut and Illinois are being punished for
going republican since 1892! The lum
ber and mining men of Michigan are
feeling the Jash, and Ohio is being
whipped up for its back sliding. This is
part of the "campaign of education."
Dun’s Review says:
“The excess of manufacturing failures
1b found within a very narrow district.
More than the entire increase appears
