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.

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.

DECLARATIONS ON THE BOUND* aRY DISPUTE. Tha IU?lit Hand of Fellowship Extrmlcd to Uncla Sam—Uormimcnt and Lllitt nl Leader* All Anxious for Arbitration —Tho Monroe Doctrine Approved— English Speaking People Mast be Friendly. 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.

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 Congratulation! Received by Tillman. ' Washington, Feb. 13.—Since Till man’s speech in the Senate he has re ceived over 7,000 letters of congratu lation. They are from every State in the union.

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. WITH PLEASURE, • Salisbury's Reply to Bayard for Bag* land's Venezuela Case. London, Feb. 13.—The Times this morning publishes the correspondence in the Venezuelan case following See ! retary Olney’s note to Lord Salisbury.

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.

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.’” .
