Mr. Sewell (Republican, New Jer sey) offered a resolution declaratory of the policy of thu United State* on the Monroe doctrine a* follows: "Resolved, That the Monroe doctrine os originally propounded was directed to the special prevention of the threat ened action of the allied powers in reference to the revolted colonies of Spain, and the occupation by way of colonization of any derelict territory on tills hemisphere, to resist such ac tion by armed force if necessary, "Thai the executive lias pressed the Monroe doctrine beyond what wa* contemplated at the time of it* an nouncement and that, the resultant ar'pienee of the position thu* taken seem* to be a committal of thl* gov ernment to a protectorate over Mex ico and Central and South American state*.

Mond Syndicate 0U,'» New Yiihk, .lull. In. — Mo in liar* of the Government bond syndicate re ceived in tbeir mail thia morning a circular letter from J. I*. Morgan A Co., releaaing them from thelrcommltm*nts to furnish their pro rata of 00.000, 000 in gold and a second $l00,000,o00 if they desired, taking their payment therefor in four per cent Government bonda Accompanying this letter was a circular explaining how the syndi cate was formed, what action was taken on its behalf, and why it is now dissolved. “On the 23d of December," Mr, Mor gan says, “i was invited to Washing ton for a conference. Ouring my visit there no negotiations for u loan were even suggested, nor was there then, nor has there been since, any agree ment or request that 1 should take any steps preparatory to making a contract. 1 came, however, to the conclusion that the President and sec retary of tbe treasury would use every power at. their command to restore and iiiaintaln tbe gold reserve; tliat. no steps would he taken until it was as certained what Congress would do; that tiie executive department would prefer to secure $200,000,000 of gold, and tliat it was certain that no relief could be obtained from Congress. "Upon my return, appreciating the gravity of tiie situation and in order . tliat, J might he prepared to act promptly, I took steps to ascertain to what extent it would he |>oftxiblc to secure tiie co-operation of capitalists ! in forming a syndicate which would agree to sell to the l.nited Males gov ernment $2oojtoO,ooO of gold coin. The contract, prepared and signed hy the participants did not. stipulate whether i the purchase would he hy private eon | trad or hy public offer, j "The only provision in addition to ' the important one tliat no gold should ! he withdrawn from the treasury was ' that tiie minimum amount of tiie con { tract should be $100,000,000, the msxi : mum not over $£$0,000,000. The ap ; plications far exceeded my expecta \ lions. At the end of three or four ; days tbe total of $200,000,000 was reached, and I had full authority which would enable me whenever and ; however the Executive might decide I to act to secure that amount of gold for the treasury reserve In exchange for United States bonds I "Having completed the formation of tbe syndicate, 1 entered into negotla ! tiona in Europe and in places other than Condon, where the market was closed to us. and through the Deutsche hank and Messrs Morgan, Harjes Sc Co. Negotiations were practically concluded for public subscriptions in Germany. France and Holland, which would have resulted in a large amount of bonds being placed in those coun tries. | "On January 4, realizing that the tension was growing daily and had become serious, I addressed a letter to ; the president, calling his attention to the situation and representing that the most important step was tiie re storation of the government credit hy replenishing the stock of gold. De tails of what was proposed were given and assurances offered that the utmost efforts would he made to procure for tbe treasury 11,500,000 ounces of gold.’’ The reason given for the disso lution of the syndicate ia that the con tract called for a hid of "all or none,” and therefore Mr. Morgan was un willing to make a hid under the pres ent circumstances, as he might seem to desire the secretary of the treasury to throw out smaller bids made in good faith under the public calL The only emergency, in Mr. Morgan's Judg ment. which would justify such a course, would be the failure of the putdic to respond to the call of the government. | The circular concludes: "I feel per fectly satisfied that there ia no ques tion as to tiie success of the loan."

The National hank idea was not a Democratic idea, the Democratic policy favoring the retention by the government and the people of tbe money-making prerogative.

There had been no caucus; none was needed; Korakar’a face end voice were familiar in every countv of Ohio.

I #. —Senator Mor gan's speech on the ulvor bond bill was tlie event of tbe Hen ate yesterday, although a sharp personal colloquy between Mr. Hill, Mr. liutler and Mr. Pritchard enlivened the early hours. Mr. Morgan frequently addressed him self personally to Mr. Sherman, who ■at across the aisle, and for two hour* arraigned the Ohio senator for tbe series of financial acts with which he is identified. At times Mr. Morgan was bitterly personal, lie referred to Mr. Hhermau as the Napoleon of fiuance who wa* near his Waterloo, anil who would be consigned to St. Helena. In the main, however, tbe speech was a scholarly presentation of tne silver question. Mr. Uill’s oollo quy with the two North Carolina sen ators brought out considerable discus- • siou of tlie New York senator's polit ical consistency, and was amusing to tlie galleries for the sharp sallies and witty rejoinders during the triangular tie bate. The vice president laid before tbe senate a letter from the secretary of tlie treasury in reply to a resolution of Inquiry presented by Mr. 1‘effer as to whether »lc>o,ooo,000 In gold had at auy time beuu set apart from other funds. The horrelary states that this him never hcimi done, mere uemg no provision of law authorising it. AMERICA HER RIVAL. : liiraaM lh|i« i« Peel This t'Mltrr'l l ouipnliluu la M*»ufaelur*d IommI*.
