A certain local physician of pompous bearing and vast pretense as to ethical observance journeyed forth very recently from his office on Broadway to attend a gathering at ' Chicago of a society of specialists. » ' The Cincinnati doctor was not a member of this society, but was not a bit reticent on this account. Ho is noted for his constant attendance upon the sessions of specialists, of every class, wherever convened, and several months ago succeeded in stirring up quite a teapot , tempest in a St. Louis gathering. So to Chicago, he went. Presenting himself at the hall, he was accorded by courtesy the privilege of sitting in the meetings. At once he began Vigorously, .yet stealthily and systematically, ‘■knocking” a member of the society who hail.* from Cincinnati. The resentment of the brethren against these tactics w;is general, and their revenge came at a diVmer at the exclusive Chicago club, with which the proceedings closed. The “outsider’’ from Cincinnati had been set down for a toast, ami he had spent much time ami eare in formulating his supwably impromptu remarks. The suave toastmaster, rising benignly in his place, •announced the speaker in a fashion that entirely upset the calculations of the aspiring medicus and made him at omte aTid forever tire laughing i stock of.the society. “Gentlemen,” announced the toastmaster in his most insinuating tone, “I have mw the pleasure aud honor of present ing .to you a gentleman of our profession who is not only able, but I strikingly versatile. I beg to introduce i Dr.. B. Blink Blank of Cincinnati.-'.wii* !is widely fcniwu as a specialist in every : known branch of medicine and surgery !” > —Chic-immi i.Enquirer.

MH. bALtuuno vitWb Says England Will Permit Any Interference In the Transvaal. FAVORS THE MONROE DOCTRINE. !>*.. Not Think Them I» a I’o«»lhlIit.T at War Over the Venezuelan <>ue*tion, hut Incidentally Remark* That Great Britain Ha* a Fine Fighting Machine—A War Would Be a Crime. London, Jun. 16. —Hon. A J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury, speaking at j Manchester last night, said that it was not in human nature that the present ' condition of things in the Transvaal ' should continue. Therefore he was : sanguine that President Kruger would ' recognize the importance of giving the 1 long promised reforms of the constitn- | tion. Whether it was called suzerainty I or not, there could be no mistake that i we controlled the external relations of i the Transvaal and would adrtiit no for- ; 1 eign interference; and further, ho bo 1 lieved that no foreign country was pro- j paretl to dispute that doctrine. Having highly complimented Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, he turned to Venezuela and said that nobody here wanted to run contrary to the Monroe doctrine. In fact, he ctmjjnued, if Venezuela had offered herself for annexation to Great Britain, any British I statesman would decline such an honor. 1 Therefore he failed to understand what the quarrel was about. It would be : hard indeed if the common sense of the , Anglo-Saxon race was unable to settle the dispute without. recourse to war. He did not believe there was possibility of war, but there was never a moment ; in the recent history of England when , it possessed a better fighting machine. | Mr. Balfour asserted that the British i government had heartily concurred in the M< >nroe doctrine 70 years ago, anjfi he believed that if they were lo ransaek England from end to end, search the most private documents in the foreign office since then, examine the ministers and the ordinary public, or, even the lunatics, it would lie impossible to find a single individual who ever desired to see what would be called a forward policy adopted by Great Britain either in North or South America. Mr. Balfour referred long and eloquently to the horrors of a war between England and America, but he said he felt obliged to admit sorrowfully that many Americans seemed lightly to re- : gard such a war as the exhilarating exercise of a gentle national stimulus. “To me,” said Mr. Balfour, “that is a terrible, a distressing and a horrible point of view. I w ill never believe that any large section of the American nation will permanently adopt such a view. We may be dreamers and idealists, but | the time must come when some, states- ] t men of authority, more fortmiate even i than President Monroe, will lay down : the doctrine that between the English speaking peoples war is impossible, and that anyone endangering the jieace will have committed a crime against civilization. May no English statesman or English party ever have the responsibility of that heavy crime upon their souls.” . HAD HIS THROAT CUT. ! ; City /Marshal Teel of Ashley, Ills., May I Survive a Terrible Woithd. Mascoutah, Ills., Jan. 16.—Marshal , A. A. Teel of Ashley, cylrn had his throat ent from ear to ear by Albert Cameron j Sunday night, is in a fairway to-re-i cover.

The most, notable incident of the debate | was the attack made by Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania upon what he termed the extraordinary attempt by the president tmd his clerks to encroach upon the prei cogatives of the legislative branch of the ' government. He» denounced Secretary ' Carlisle for a financial bill to 1 tongress 4 and the action of the president ' jn haying read the ftrmoos letter to Catchings oil the 'Wilson bill just before a vote on the bill, Which he said, was aa ' attempt to influence the vote.
