LORD SALISBURY'S REPLY.

The Monroe JOoctrine, He Says, Is Not Apjilieable to Tliis Dispute. Lord Salisbury answers Secretary 01ney in two notes, both dated. July 26. The first is devoted entirely to a reply to that portion of the note relating to the Monroe doctrine, which, he says, has never before been made the subject of a written communication by the United States to another government, although it has largely influenced American foreign relations. Lord Salisbury says that this doctrine has undergone a "notable development" since its enunciation by President Monroe, which had originally received the entire sympathy of the English government. But the dangers apprehended by President Monroe, Lord Salisbury says, have no relation to the conditions of the present day, when there is no danger of an unholy alliance or of attempts at European colonization of America.

Great Britain is imposing no "system" upon Venezuela, nor concerning herself with Venezuelan political institutions. The dispute over the boundary has nothing to do with any of the questions dealt with by Monroe. The latter did not claim for the United States the "novel prerogative" of settling a frontier difference of this kind, nor did he seek to establish a protectorate over Mexico or the Central American states. So if the United States will not control the conduct of these communities, it can not undertake to protect them from the consequences attaching to their misconduct. Arbitration is not free from defects, and the claim of a third nation to impose it on two interested nations can not be reasonably justified and has no foundation in the law of nations.

Lord Salisbury expressly declines to be understood as accepting the Monroe doctrine. He says that, international law being founded on the general consent of nations, no statesman and no nation, however powerful, can inject a novel principle not acceptable to any other government, and Secretary Olney's principle, that "American questions are for American decision" (ansustained by Monroe), can not be sustained by international law. The United States can not aifinn that its interests are concerned in the American states because they are American, no more than if they were Japan or China. Monroe's language was never admitted to be international law and the danger of such admission is shown by the "strange development" which the doctrine has received at Secretary Olney's hands. A fair inference from Mr. Olney's arguments, Lord Salisbury says, is that the union between Great Britain and her colonies in America is "inexpedient and unnatural, something disclaimed by Monroe, and emphatically denied by her majesty's government and the American people subject to the crown."

Concurring in Monroe's view that a disturbance of territorial distribution in the western hemisphere would be inexpedient he does not admit this to be international law, and can not accept the doctrine that the United States is entitled to demand arbitration of territorial disputes between states.

In conclusion, Lord Salisbury says that he hopes that the difficulty, made more difficult by Venezuela's inconsiderate action in breaking diplomatic relations, will be adjusted by a reasonable arrangement at an early date.

The lioundary Dispute.

Lord Salisbury's second note, dated July 26, deals entirely with the boundary dispute on its merits beginning with a statement that Great Britain does not recognize that any other country has a material interest in the controversy, yet makes the statement in this fashion because, owing to the Rupture of diplomatic relations, it is not otherwise possible to communicate it to the Venezuelan government. Lord Salisbury asserts that Secretary Olney, acting on an ex parte presentation of the case by Venezuela, has fallen into much misapprehension.

He enters into an elaborate history of the British claim founded on the Dutch concession, tells how the celebrated Schomburg line was run, of many concessions offered by Great Britain to Venezuela to reach an arrangement, and suggests that the Venezuelan insistence upon the arbitration of the whole territory would be paralleled by a refusal of Great Britain to arbitrate the Alaskan boundary line, unless half of Alaska were thrown into arbitration.

THE MESSAGE IN CONGRESS.

Both Branches Greet the Document With Great Enthusiasm. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The presi­

dent's message on the Venezuelan quesr tion occupied the main attention of the senate during its brief session. Secretary Cox read the document amid impressive silence, the senators following every word with intense interest. The concluding sentence of the message was no sooner read than a demonstration occurred almost unparalleled in the history of the upper branch of congress, senators on both sides of the chamber joining in their expressions of approval by long-continued handclapping.

The message and accompanying documents were at once referred to the com* znittee on foreign relations and beyond {the reading of the document no debate or reference to it occurred during the session.

Many memorials concerning the Cuban rebellion and the Turkish massacres Were presented.

Mr. Gall of Florida offered a resolution to investigate alleged election irregularities in Florida. S

In the HMM.

WASHINGTON, Deo. 18.—While the time of the house was mainly absorbed in a debate on the Republican plan to create three committees of nine mem* bers each to deal with the election contests, its interest was centered upon the

resident's message. The debate on eleotion committee flan was fruitful of partisan discussion of election methods in the house and the Republican policy of dealing with contests in the Fifty-first congress. The principal speakers were Cannon of Illinois, DalBell of Pennsylvania, Johnson of Indiana and Powers of Vermont, Republicans^ and Crisp of Georgia, Bartlett of

York, Wheeler of .Alabama and of Texas Democrats. The plan adopted by a party vote. Thepres* j®th^"~*°

was read and received with much enthusiasm by members of both parties. WELL RECEIVED.

Not a Voicf Raised Against the Policy of the President. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The message of President Cleveland to congress transmitting the correspondence between Secretary Olney and Lord Salisbury relative to the Venezuelan boundary dispute created a real sensation in Washington. Although the nature of Secretary Olney's vigorous Communication and of Lord Salisbury's answers had been already accurately foretold in the Associated Press dispatches from Washington and London, there was still a great popular craving to learn just how the president would deal with Lord Salisbury's refusal to submit the matter to arbitraition, and the message was listened to with interest in congress and was read with avidity on the streets. Nowhere was there a voice lifted in dissent from the doctrine so -firmly laid down by the president, but on the contrary there was an outburst of patriotic feeling that must have been highly gratifying to the chief executive.

In the dignified United States senate, a body that rarely exhibits emotion on any occasion, there was witnessed the unparalleled spectacle of handclapping and applause which was the spontaneous expression of the approval of almost every senator without regard to party. On the streets the message was discussed and old vetarans of the late war talked exultantly of what they were prepared again to undertake at the call of their country. In the great hall of the pension building the employes gathered and sang with gusto the "Star Spangled Banner," and "My Country, 'Tis of Thee."

At the White House messages poured in from every quarter of the country congratulating the president upon his message. They came from men of all parties and station, and they began to come in soon after the delivery of the documents to congress.

The matter, of course, was of the greatest interest in diplomatic circles, and the general impression on a sober second consideration of the notes was that the manner has not yet reached a. stage where war is imminent, and that the hint of Great Britain's purpose to reopen negotiations with Venezuela looking to settlement of the dispute between themselves, perhaps may be regarded as the indication of how the whole matter will end.

Minister Andrade of Venezuela secured a copy of the message late in the day and cabled it by way of Cuba and Hayti to his government. The time of transmission is eight hours, and it is felt that its reception at Caracas will be the signal for an enthusiastic demonstration.

At the British embassy Sir Julian Pauncefote and his extensive official corps shared in the general interest in the question. It was stated that the foreign office made public at noon the Salisbury answer, simultaneous with its publication here. But as the president's message is to congress, and has not gone through diplomatic channels, it was not a part of the matter given to the British public by the foreign office. This presents the anomoly of each country interesting it-self with the phase of the question most acceptable to itself, London laying special stress on the Salisbury letter, and the United States naturally being concerned mainly with the president's message.

MONROE DOCTRINE.

We owe it to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those (European) powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and will not interfere. But with tliw governments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, w© could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power, in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States.— (From President Monroe's Seventh Annual Message, Dec. 2, 1823.

tnenome by Gas.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—George Merr of Sharon Center, la., was found overcome by gas in his room at Renter's hotel in Dey street. His recovery is improbable. He went to the hotel in company with Fred Rusch of San Simon, A. T., who says he and Merr came here to see about a suit in which both are concerned.

Cuban Filibustered Landed. MADRID, Dec. 18.—A dispatch to The Correspondencia, from Havana, confirms the report that a filibuster expedition has landed near Manzanillo, province of Santiago de Cuba, with arms, ammunition, a quick firing gun and five American gunners. f.
