Mr. Chandler AVnntu $100,000,000 Impended for III sc nntl I.Itlle Gnnn. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1$.-The Krnate shared the general sentiment of belligerency prevalent to-day, and from the outset cf the session the measures proposed breathed a spirit of. patriotism and of preparation for any emergency that might arl concerning Venezuela, ' The first bill Introduced was that of Mr. Chandler, providing on appropriation of JlOO.OfiO.OOO for a heavy Increase In the national armament. ThU was quickly followed by propositions authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to purchase a late device of heavy battery and for a report on the feasibility of equipping for service the eld ship Constitution. Mr. Hill added to the suggestions of defense by asking Immediate consideration of a bill making ex-Confederates eligible to service In tho army and navy. Aside from these steps Inaugurating legislation, the day passed without decisive action on the Venezuelan question. The tlrat Investigation of the session was started by the passage of Mr. Call's long-pending resolution for an Inquiry Into alleged corporate .. Influences In tho election of United States Senators and Repressntatlves.' As a further expression on the subject of Urltlsh encroachments, the Senate agreed to a resolution. Introduced by Mr. Davis, calling cn the President for Information as to Hritlsh or Canadian occupation, military or civil, of any part of the United fctates territory of Alaska. Throughout the day the Senate galleries were crowded beyond their capacity, showing the keen public intercrt in anticipated developments on the Urltlsh-Venezuela question. In predentin? the bill for the repeal of iho law Imposing disabilities on those wh,i served In the war of the rebellion, Mr. Hill epoke briefly. The main feature, he aid, was to wipe out that-feature of the statute which prevented ex-Confederates from serving in the United States army and navy. "It Is most oportnne at the present moment." said Mr. Hill, "that these men of the South co-operate with those of the North In giving the country any military VI I ur navai. ueienno mai may De required. le iok or tne measure as a patriotic one, endinir ta Ohlller.lt f th anlmn.(tl est a wur iong ago cioseu. in conclusion, air. 21111 asked that the rules be suspended and the bill put on its Immediate passage. Mr. Piatt suggested It was rather a novel procedure to ask the Senate to pass a measure of this character before Senators had considered the subject. "There Is no immediate haste." said Mr. Piatt. "The country Is not likely to have a war before Congress reassembles after the holidays. There may fce no objection to repeal it after it. has been examined." Mr. Kill consented to let the bill lie on the table for the present CHANDLER'S ARMAMENT BILVL. Mr. Chandler Immediately followed with a bill "to strengthen the military armament." The reading cf the title occasioned much whispered comment. It was referred to the committee on military affairs. The bill reads "That the President be, and he Is hereby, authorized and directed to strengthen the military armament by adding thereto equipped for use 1,000,000 Infantry rifles, 1.000 guns for field artillery and not exceeding 6.000 heavy guns for .fortifications, to be procured by manufacture In the arsenals, or by contract for manufacture, or by direct purchase in this country or elsewhere, according to the discretion of the President, who shall conform, when practicable, without unwise delay, to the methods prescribed for making contracts and purchases by existing laws. The sum of $100,000,000 Is hereby appropriated to carry into effect the provisions of this act." . On motion of Mr. Davis the Senate agreed to a resolution calling on the President for Information and all correspondence as to the establishment by Great Britain of postoffices and post-roads In the United States Territory of Alaska; also, a3 to any British occupation,, miliary or civil, of that Territory; also, respecting any attempt by Great Britain or Canada to assert any claim to territory of the United States m Alaska. Another significant resolution was offered C? Galllner. authorizing the Secretary of 1ar to contract for the purchase of an unproved counterpoise battery. The resolution went to the committee on military aftulness Senate settled to routine T?iVLVI?e fr,esI3ent announced the reappointment Of Mr. Cullom as a member of Inltltuflon reents of th Smithsonian Mr. Call then addressed the Senate on His resolution for a Senate investigation debate proceeded at much length. 4 Mr. Caffery deprecated the practice of glvorfffrauntl0n to vasuo and looso charges Mr. Sewell made his Initial speech since 5Sirft-try totho nate. He said there would bo no objection to an investigation confined to Florida, but he pointed out nW?dlency of a drag-net resolution which could inaugurate investigation in all parts of the country. -Mr. White Jocularly Inquired whether It was contemplated that this special committee would travel around the country. If bo California wished to arrange for its reception. Mr. Caffery said tho resolution was a stp toward a return to tho federal election laws, and he predicted that a return of complete Republican control of the government would result in thei re-enactment of the federal election laws "with all their the polls ,,aSalnSt IntImIdatIca ani force at An amendment to the resolution offered ,y JJn nPt 1ImI"n the investigation to election of United States Senators and excluding members of the House was defeated. Mr. Sewall's amendment, confining1 the Investigation to Florida, was defeated 20 to 23. Mr. Hale's amendment that the investigation be conducted by the regular Senate committee on privileges and elections was adopted 23 to 24. The resolution as thus amended was agreed to without division. The text of tho resolution is as follows: "Resolved. That the committee on privileges and elections shall bo charged with the duty of investigating the subject of organized efforts of corporations or of th president and directors thereof to control the election , of members of Congress o to Influence the election of Congress; also to investigate and report to the Senate whether corrupt means, bribery or free transportation have been or are betas? used to Influence such elections; also to Inquire and report to tho Senate whether tho use of such Influences or means Is consistent with the preservation of the Republic of the United States an! the rights and liberties of the people, and to report a Mil for punishment or suppression of such factJees." Soon after securing1 tho adoption of the resolution Mr. Call grave notice that he would more a reconsideration. At 2:20 o'clock, on motion of Mr. Chandler, the Senate went Into executive evasion, and at 2:50 adjourned until to-morrow. THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. It Decides the Senate AVI 11 Not Adjourn Until Committee Are Filled. WASHINGTON. Dec, ll-The greater portion of the time of the caucus of Republican Senators to-day was devoted to a discussion on the Venezuelan question as presented by the President's message. This natter was brought up in connection with a renewal by Senator Lodge of his suggestion of yesterday that tho Senate should not. In view of the critical state of affairs, adjourn for the holidays until the committees shoulJ be completely equipped for action In case tho necessity should arise. A large number of speeches were made, after which it was announced as the sentiment of the caucus that there should be no adjournment until the committee should bo perfected. Senator Mitchell, as chairman of tho caucus committee, was authorized to present this view to the Democratic Senators anJ impress on them the necessity for epeedy action In making their committee assignments. Among those who made speeches were Senators Lodge.. Teller, Chan Her, Piatt and Frye. All the speakers spoke of tho situation as grave. Senator Lodge dwelt on the especial necessity f2r having the foreign relations committee. In full working order. Senator Teller presented the view that the problem which the message presented was too cerlcus for hastening action In any way, and intimated that a delay until after the holidays would do no great harm. The cplnlon was very general, however, that Congress should be fully prepared for and make its own investigation. It was suggested that England might accept the Xrsldnt'a utterances as an ultimatum and

proceed Immediately to push her troops into Venezuela, and It was asked what tho United States would do In that event In case the question should b tied up in the hands of a commission. There was some referenca to the bill passed In the Ho'ise appropriating money for the proposed commission, and the opinion was expressed that the bill should go to committee for amendment. The caucus also instructed Senator Mitchell to inform the Democrats that they would be granted full minority representation on tho enlarged committees as heretofore on all committeees. A change was mado to that a select committee may havo charge of the Nicaragua canal bill and relievo the foreign relations committee, which will tx much occupied during this session. The chairmanship and two other places will be assigned to the Democrats, the other four places to Republican Hawiey. Mitchell of Oregon, Squire and SVwell. The Democratic chairman of the Nicaragua committee will probably be Senator Morgan, of Alabama. The Democratic steering committee of the Senate held Its first meetln,? to-day for the consideration of the Republican committee assignment list. Nothing was done beyond a general Inspection and the mapping out of a plan of operations, no effort being made to enter upon Democratic assignments. The committee will meet agr.ln to-morrow, but It Is not believed by nny cf the member3 that It will be possible to complete, its work before tb: holiday adjournment. JOY IN VENEZUELA

PIIOPLK OP CARACAS WILD "WITH EXTIllSIASTIC PATRIOTISM. CI rent Excitement Cnuned ly President Cleveland's MessaRC Ulnglnjr Speeches nt n Mnm Mcetlitfr. NEW YORK, Dec. 19. A dispatch to the World from Caracas, Venezuela, rays: The news of Cleveland's message uncompromisingly upholding Venezuela and the Monroe doctrine created the wildest Joy and enthusiasm In this capital. It has produced new confidence In the future of the country, and acts like maqlc on business activity and enterprise. The Venezuelan Foreign Office declares that It will sustain the dignity and sovereignty of tho republic by force If necessary. One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers can bo put Into the field. The government declined to speak officially In regard to tho Urugan Incident, but the World correspondent is assured that it will refuse to. concede the Indemnity of JGO.OOO recently demanded by Great Britain. It is reported that English war -ships are on their way hither. The arrival of the American naval squadron is anxiously awaited. It Is possible that an extra session of the Congress will be called. The Venezuelan press call3 upon the people to show their patriotism on this great occasion and their gratitude towards the noble republic of the north which has proved in the supreme crisis its stanch alliance to the principles laid down by its most advanced statesmen In the early years of its history. The press also urges on the people the duty of preparing at once for war with all their energy. Special editions were Issued by the newspapers in the evening, reiterating the expression on the popular feeling of gratitude that there was at last to be a union of political sentiment between North and South America, productive of beneficent results. They also declare their confidence in the outcome of the commission which President Cleveland proposes to send to examine into the merits of the dispute with Great Britain. The prestige ofv the United States, they add, is now unique In the political world. Englishmen resident In Caracas betray their uneasiness, but express the hope that there will be a peaceful solution of the difficulty. To-night Caracas is crazy with patriotic enthusiar-m. The populace show that they aro deeply moved to gratitude towards their sister republic. Pictures of President Monroe are displayed everywhere, and the statuo of Washington has been decorated with American flags and floral wreaths. A grand mass meeting was held in the public plaza to-night at which ringing speeches were made. The American minister was afterwards serenaded by the military band. A grand bail in celebration of the event which now so absorbs the thoughts of Venezuelans will be held Jan. 1 at the Union Club. The Minister of Foreign Affairs called formally at the American legation to-day and expresed to Minister Ilazelton the thanks of President Crespo. Dr. Prietri is about to depart on an Important diplomatic mission to Europe. The revolution la over. Rojas Paul has been expelled from Curazao. How It Is Viewed In Mexico. MEXICO CITY, Dec. In.-Tho Mexican Herald says: War with England would be an unspeakable calamity; It means a terrible blow to tho rising prestige and predominance of the Anglo Saxon race. It would probably result in the assumption of leadership in the world's affairs by some great nation hostile to the Increasing predominance of the English speaking countries. The fate of a mighty breed of men hangs upon the prudence and wisdom of the Cabinets of .Washington and London. The English speaking colony here is excited over the talk of war between the United States and England, and the general opinion is that war would be a calamity to tho Anglo-Saxon race. American politicians consider that Cleveland's emphatic Indorsement of the Monroe doctrine gives the principle a fixed placer in International law and will unite all Latin America with the United States In any case of European aggression in this hemisphere. The movement besun lrf Salvador favoring tho union of all Latin America in a league which shall wage a tariff war against any European nation manifesting hostility to any American nation Is well received. Tho Monroe doctrine is enthusiastically approved in Central America. , Peruviana Are Pleased. LIMA. Peru. Dec. 18. President Cleveland's message on the British Gulana-Vene-zuelan boundary dispute has been the subject of conversation to-day among all those Interested in political affairs, and It 1s regarded as a most Important diplomatic document. The Monroe doctrine Is a subject of vital Interest and importance to every South American republic, and the clear definition of It and the announcement of the adherence to It by the United States government Is welcomed by all classes, of intelligent people. The public, as far as can be gathered from the expressions collected, do not expect that war will result, but think that England will yield to the firm stand of the United States. Words of admiration are heard on all sides of the course of the United States in coming to the relief of a weak sister republic. WAU CLOUD IS SHALL. (Continued from First Page.) "not had time to give the message careful consideration," said he, "as 1 have been overwhelmed with work, but I will say that I believe in the Monroe doctrine and think It should be upheld. I have little use for England or her policies, and do not believe she has any kindly feeling for us. We should keep a stiff upper lip In this matter." . Jnroro VrwcA to Support Cleveland. : PEORIA, 111., Dec. 18.

Evening Post and the World, respectively the most cultured and most widely circulated organs in New York, Join in condemning President Cleveland. Meantime :t is well that nobody on this side has lost his head. If the message had been communicated to the British government It must have resulted in a rupture of diplomatic relations. As it is. It requires no reply, nor would it be in accordance with precedents that Lord Salisbury should take any notice of the mere discourtesies. But when the announcements are made through the embassador. It is to be hoped in more polite language, that the commission has been appointed. It will be necessary for Lord iallsbury to reply. He might, especially if President Cleveland repeats his threats, not merely refuse to recognize the commission, but treat its appointment, or at least Its Invasion of Urltlsh territory, as a hostile act. Rut probably he will dem It wiser and more dignined' to inform Washington that the commission will b6 entirely disregarded, and that any attempt to enforco its report within Urltlsh Guiana will be as much an act of war as would be an Invasion of Kent. It is most pleasant to give the heartiest response to Embassador TJayard's generous words at tho Actors' fund dinner." A second editorial in the Dally News deals with former disputes with America, and comes to the conclusion that other Presidents before Cleveland have played the name part, "well knowing that war would not come of it." Tho Times eaya In on editorial: "The House of Representatives made a precipitate reply to President Cleveland's message. Had it been allowed a little more time to get over the excitement, probably its vote would have at least been preceded by a decorous discussion of the merits of tho case. Senator Chandler's bill may help to put things In a clear light and show the America! people the real meaning of tho Jingo policy, so thoughtlessly acclaimed by a certal.i section." Remarking oa the American legal and Jay opinion, the editorial proceeds: "A curious evidence of the levity with which Mr. Cleveland has adopted his aggressive policy is found In tho fact that he actually reduced the Mfcnroe doctrine to a nullity by admitting that America cannot object to any boundary adjustment that Venezuela chooses to mako of her own free will. England might possibly effect some very remarkable adjustments by of-. fering Venezuela one-half the money Senator Chandler asks the Seriate to vote for war purposes, in which case, according to President Cleveland, the United States would have nothing to say to the great extension of European Influence on the American continent. When the matter comes to be weighed, the American people are not likely to place unlimited confidence In a man showing so little appreciation of a doctrine of which he has made temporary capital, and when they realize the monstrous and Insulting character of the demand preferred in their name they will recognize our attitude is the only attitude that the men of their blood could possibly adopt or that they could see us adopt without a blush." The Times argues to Justify Lord Salisbury against the critics who think that he might have avoided ruffling American susceptibilities by avoiding a discussion of the Monroe doctrine, on the ground that a failure to discuss that doctrine would have embarrassed future negotiations. The Times, together with the Dally News and other papers, again reminds America that she never offered to assume responsibilities for the foreign policies of the petty republics. Tho Standard, the Conservative organ, 6ays: "While the fit lasts wo must expect grandiose talk and ridiculous plans, but we have an abiding faith In the good sense of tho American people, and w feel sure that on reviewing the facts calmly they will admit that President Cleveland has altogether overdone his part. Undoubtedly the New York World knows what it is talking about. For onco almost the entire European press agrees in protesting against President Cleveland's extravagant assumption. In the presence of tho amazing demands Congress is invited to indorse it is necessary to say in the plainest language that they constitute an attempted outrage on the law of nations which the whole world is bound to repudiate." The Standard concludes: "War over such a. dispute would be a scandal , to humanity. As Mr. Bayard said, 'It cannot be,' " Tho Chronicle (Liberal) still refuses to believe that the message has produced an Impasse, but notes in all seriousness the developments of the situation in America," Against this it sets the political difficulties of President Cleveland's position, Secretary Olney's anti-British views and the fact that the commission's report would have no diplomatic weight, while no European power will accept the Monroe doctrine. Above all. It refuses to contemplate: "The iniquity of war between England and America. It is a thing that horrifies even cooler hostile observers in foreign press." says the Chronicle. It further contends that Lord Salisbury has not drawn a cast Iron line and has offered to accept arbitration. "After all," says the Chronicle, "the dispute Is very small and Is between friendly nations and we decline to believe that It is a closed book between them." The Graphic, under the heading "Is It War?" says: "Whether it is a bugaboo or sober, earnest deliberation, it has brought us within a measurable distance of war. It is now a question of the national honor on which the government of the Queen cannot budge an inch. Yesterday we could treat it as an exhibition of personal strongheadedness. To-day the situation is altered. We trust that prudent counsels may yet prevail, but the decision now rests entirely with America. We daro not recede without shame. We have seen too well what arbitration means with America. We paid the monstrous Alabama award, but the United States still refU3ea to pay the small Bering sea damages." The Post (Conservative) says: "If the utterances of Secretary Olney and President Cleveland mean anything- they would Justify the recall of Sir Julian Pauncefote. The language of Secretary Olney's document would expose us to a demand to retire not only from Canada and Jamaica, but from Australia, India and Cape Colony. It is difficult to suppose that such a paper could be framed unless for the purpose of degrading England. It is not to be supposed that the position of England, held for six hundred years against the . world, will be yielded America without a struggle, and when such language is used it becomes necessary to consider the chances of war." All of the papers this morning devote columns to the Venezuelan affair and have long dispatches from .New York and from tho European, capitals recording the effect produced by' the message and the decision of Congress, together with the opinions of the press, etc. The tone of the articles on tho subject is altogether more serious than it was yesterday, and there is no apparent inclination to treat the matter with levity. The Times has a dispatch from Paris saying: "The message for the most part was received here in a spirit of utter stupefaction. It is not merely that Europe has an obvious solidarity of Interest In rejecting with dis.laln the extended view of the Monroe doctrine, but even more because the pretension squares so little with reason and ordinary sense that ltappears ridiculous." The Times correspondent at Vienna says: . "The Impression here Is one of sheer amazement that President Cleveland should be disposed to rush headlong with a light heart into a conflict with Great Britain. If the Washington government Imagines from the talk of England's isolation that America will get Europe's sympathy. It Is woefully mistaken' The Chronicle says that 'it Is rumored that Lord Salisbury consulted the principal European governments before replying to Secretary Olney's dispatch. Elsewhere the Chronicle says the opinions of the continental papers appears to eonflrm this rumor. "All diplomats will deplore President Cleveland's haste,' continues the Chronicle, "by creating an Impasse by his peculiar method of diplomacy. Had he announced to Lord Salisbury his intention of asking for a commipsion to examine the boundary without reference to Venezuela herself. It might have been possible to arrange for a commission to represent both countries. Instead of leaving a door open, as the policy of politics required. President Cleveland shut It with a bang, for Lord Salisbury cannot reply to his message." Foreign Stock Mnrl&eta. NEW YORK, Dec. IS. The Evening Post's financial correspondent at London says: "The stock markets were dull to-day, closing near tho lowest Consols have fallen L but with no heavy sales, merely a marking' down by Jobbers. President Cleveland's

message has created a profound concern and surprise. The city, however, refuses at present to recognize any complications sufficient to warrant apprehensions cf war. I have Interviewed mcst of the representative financial houses here, including those connected more particularly with American securities. All express astonishment at the tone cf the message and consider that it bids fair to drive the death nail Into the Araorican railroad market, to accelerate gold exports from New York and to precipitate a currency, if not a financial crisis in America. Americans rallied on New York support, but finally closed at the lowest point. "The Paris markets to-day wore flat, led by a further fall in Spanish securities. Financial disturbances or politics adversely affect these stocks and they are enormou?Iy held In France. "The markets at Berlin were weak and featureless." A Berlin dispatch to the Daily News says: "The Boersen Courier betrays a mlschevous Joy and warns England that sho is at last brought Into serious troubles. It says that England Is no longer In a position to convince small states of the legality of her claims by bombarding frigates. The Frankfurter Zeltung rays that England is the aggressive party and is wrong to refuse arbitration, but that nobody will wonder at her refusal to accept President Cleveland's proposed American commission." A special dispatch from Paris gives an Interview with Jules SImonIn which he said that he thought If it was a mere political move, such tactics were unworthy of President Cleveland and degrading to a great nation. "It Is Impossible that there should be such a crime asdnst humanity and civilization." tho French statesman stated, as a war between England and America; I am convinced that an honorable and peaceful solution could bo found. A OOIIIIESPOXDEXT'S REVIEW.

What the American Representative of the London Time Snys. LONDON, Dec. 13. Tho New York correspondent of the Times, in his review of the situation there, says: "It is already evident that American opinion Is very far from being unanimous on the President's policy. There Is, of course, a tremendous explosion of long pent-up Jingoism, but very weighty protests make themselves heard at the same time." Summaries are given of the editorials in the New York papers, after which the correspondent continues: "There remains the press elsewhere. Most of the papers whose opinions have reached New York sustain the President, but in general terms. They are for the Monroe doctrine, and say so. The President's specific proposals are not, as a rule, discussed. There has not been time to examine them or to consider their full effect. This It is, among other things, that diminishes the value of tho opinions expressed by these papers, and by Senators and Representatives who have keen interviewed at Washington. Many of these gentlemen expressed themselves Instantly with great freedom and posltiveness In favor of the President. That was to be expected from the Jingoes, and their declarations are duly Quoted this morning in print. Most of them could have been predicted in advance. "The history of the message in the House of Representatives is remarkable. The document was sent to the House yesterday at noon, a at the same time to the Senate, where It was read at once. The House was engaged on other business of little consequence. The message was laid cn the Speaker's desk and there It remained till 5 o'clock. The Speaker kept the House to its routine work in spite of all attempts to induce him to allow the message to be read. .When read it was received, as In the Senate, with some cheers on both sides. Speaker Reed Is supposed to have thought it prudent to minimize tho effect of tho message, whether from party or patriotic reasons, or both. Indeed, tho attitude of the Republican Jingoes is difficult to understand. Nobody doubts that the effect of the President's procedure, whatever his intentions, will be, if successful, to make him again a candidate and to Increase the chances of his party's success. Llnc67?fs advice against swapping horses while crossing the stream has already been invoked in Cleveland's favor. But the Republicans, even the Jingo Republicans, do not want to help to reelect Cleveland. Reed's head is cooler than some others and it is . possible enough that, being himself, a leading Republican candidate for the presidency and also a patriotic American, he does not Intend to do more than- is necessary to facilitate Cleveland's ambition. It is possible, in other words, that the passage of a bill appropriating money for the President's commission may take time. Mr. Crisp, the former Speaker, vainly endeavored to Introduce the bill yesterday. Speaker Reed was quite unable to seo him. "It must be admitted that Mr. Cleveland has totally disappointed that great body of his friends and supporton who believed In his soberness of Judgment and in his resolve to resist Jingo clamor. They refused to find any jingoism in his first message to Congress a fortnight since. They refused to believe that he had allowed, as was freely asserted. Secretary Olney to address a peremptory note to Great Britain. They resented as a calumny the suggestion that personal ambition or party necessities would Induce him to adopt the policy of apgresslon or to threaten war as a means of settling a trumpery boundary dispute between Venezuela and Brltisn Guiana. They sorrowfully admit their mistakes. They recognize in him the arch Jingo of all. They recollect rather late that on the eve of earlier presidential elections he played to a Jingo gallery; that he sent Sir Lionel Sack-ville-West his passports; that he seemed ready to provoke this trouble about salmon and issued his Canada relation proclamation. "When 'Mr. Cleveland's presidential manifesto is scrutinized it is seen that he has left loop holes and taken precautions for delay as if to make sure that the patriotic impulses to which he appeals should not burn out during the next six months or perhaps ten. Whether he considered what might come of rousing deep popular passions Is not known. Already he has been told that his new policy is based on assumptions cf law and fact both indefensible; that his proposal for an American commission to determine a British boundary is without precedent, and that his lansruaee Is unusual. Already public opinion is divided. Already the solid sense and business interests and true national Interests of this country are expressing themselves. Their voice Is likely to grow stronger and not weaker, and the very classes who were the President's best friends are least disposed to follow him In his present adventure." A LATE REVIEW. The following dispatch from New York will also appear in the Times of to-morrow: '.'Later This afternoon's news gives on the whole a less favorable view of the situation than this morning's. The House of Representatives has unanimously passed a bill appropriating JiOO.COO for the President's Venezuela commission. The bill was introduced by Mr. Hltt, of Illinois (Republican), formerly chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, who Is an able, moderate man of diplomatic knowledge and experience abroad and no jingo. Mr. Boutelle, of Maine (Republican), suggested Its reference to a committee, but this found no support. Mr. Crisp seconded, and the bill went through amid applause. The House then adjourned till Friday, when it will adjourn for the holidays till Jan. 3. Mr. Boutelle, who is a political friend of the Speaker, describes the President's message as the desperate device of an astute politician to divert attention from the collossal blundering of his administration. He points out that it really gives away the whole Monroe doctrine by declaring that the United States cannot object to any adjustment Venezuela may take for her own advantage. If Great Britain should agree with her South American adversary, the President would find his hands tied by this admission. 'If,' says Mr. Boutelle, Venezuela or any other South American government 13 allowed to bolter itself as colony or dependency cf Great Britain, the Monroe doctrine becomes meaningless. That doctrine was designed to protect tho rights and Interests of the United States.' Mr. Boutelle rebukes, moreover, the llipnancy with which the chief magistrate of this great Christian Nation talks cf war with the other most powerful Christian ration of the world. This suggests the pcsslbilltv of considerable religious and ecclesiastical opposition to the President's policy. "There Is, however, much testimony of an opposite kind frcm all over the country. Leading Journals not all. but many of both parties in such Important cities e.s Boton. Philadelphia, Chicago. Cincinnati and St. Louis sustain the Pre!dent. though mostly In general terms. The opinions of legal authors are mostly adverre to the President's view. Professor Beale, of the Harvard law school. Instructor in international law, declares that In no sense can the Monroe doctrine be held a part of International law. Professor Thayer, of the same school. Is surprised by the President's allusion to war and thinks the message will Klve aid and comfort to the Jingoes. The Evening Pott has collected by telejrnph

a number ois interesting opinions from eminent authorities. Including President Hyde, of Bowdoln College, and Professor Woolsey. who holds the chair of International law In Yale law school. Both oppose tho President, such declarations as these may well be set off against the jingoism of the Ixdges and Chandlers. Perhaps Mr. Chandler's bill, introduced to-day In the Senate, proposing to vote one hundred millions of dollars for war expenses, will do as much good as anything. It shows the country what Jingoism means and to what talk about war may lead. It will give the Governors of States and presidential candidates, like McKlnCey, who have been saying ditto to Cleveland, something to think of. Legal opinion counts for more In this country than anything else In the world. Should It prove, as seems likely, that the beet legal opinion Is against the President, and with It, as Feems almost certain, that of the business community, the situation will become much less alarming." In his reference to the World Mr. Smalley says: "The World Is, beyond dispute, one of the ablest papers In America, with a dally circulation exceeding half a million. Its leader is headed: 'A Grave Blunder.' and proceeds: 'President Cleveland's message to Congrcrs on the Venezuelan matter Is a serious blunder. It is a blunder because It Is based upon a wrong conception, becauso It Is not sustained by international law or usage, and because It places the United States in a falso position " VIEWS OF C3KK3IANS.

Comments of Statesmen and the Leading Xewnpnuer. RERLIN, Dec. 18. A representative of the Associated Press has had an Interview on the subject of President Cleveland's message on tho Venezuelan question with a high government official. He said: "Europe has never acquiesced in "the Monroe doctrine. President Cleveland's threatened interference In a quarrel between two other nations is not seriously Interpreted here. Threats will show England the dangers of Isolation." Count Von Kanltz, the Agrarian leader, and the author of the famous grain monopoly scheme, remarked: "The United States seems to be spoiling for a fight. She might get her hands full." Herr RIchter, the People's party leader, said: "I suppose It Is an election trick of President Cleveland's. But It Is doubtful If England will back down." Herr Von Puttkamer, ex-president, said: "The whole thing looks like an American practical Joke." Herr Von Koeller, who recently resigned the portfolio of Prussion Minister of -the Interior, made the following statement: "Germany does not see any reason for taking sides In this question." Herr Dohna-Schlodlen, a member of the Reichstag, said: "It is time to bring about an international definition of tho oftquoted Monroe doctrine, and the present occasion may accomplish it." The Berlin Post, during th course of an editorial, says: "We must not forget that a ftresldentlal election campaign is near, and n America the means resorted to on such occasions cannot be too drastic." The Vosslsche Zeitung Intimates that: "Tho President's demands are such as to attract the attention of other powers, besides Great Britain." , The National Zeitung, alluding to the Venezuelan question, says that President Cleveland demands that Great Britain should submit all her claims on Venezuela to arbitration, and at the same time declares that the disputed territory belongs to Venezuela. Inasmuch as America claims to act as the sole arbitrator in the matter, the President's demand for arbitration is a mere farce. Likewise is the proposed committee of Inquiry. Continuing, the National Zeitung expresses doubt whether "'the message was intended to be taken seriously," adding: "In any case. President Cleveland's tone was influenced by the situation in the far East and Turkey." In conclusion, the National Zeitung points to the isolation of England. The Koelnische Zeitung says: "President Cleveland, to our great surprise, has allowed himself to be hurried Into taking Bteps which would have been thought impossible. He has thereby diminished the credit of his second administration In the eyes of history and has prepared for his country troubles with England, merely In order to catch a few votes of Democrats. Lord Salisbury's reply to Mr. Olney's dispatch is a dignified utterance. It Is natural that all European powers having possessions in South America should support England, but the matter also affects the powers not thus directly concerned. The question is whether the unbounded pretensions of the United States are to be admitted and European civilization on the American continent replaced by American civilization. By recognizing absolutely the undefined Monroe doctrine, even in island cases, the Americans would be encouraged to advance other inadmissible demands on any European power. Great Britain has the fullest moral and material right to bravely stand her ground and to continue the struggle so passionately commenced against her." THE FRENCH PRESS. PnrU XewspnpcTS Do Not Think AmytUins Serious Will Result. PARIS, Dec. 18. La Patrie, referring to President Cleveland's message, remarks: "The United States will obtain complete satisfaction by Its vigorous attitude. Great Britain is only strong with the weak. She is prudent with those who aro determined to defend the dignity of their country. The affair will be a great lesson to all nations." La Liberie says: "A controversy is proceeding between two peoples of the fame ethnological origin, and who are accustomed to big words, but whose cold passion does not go even so far as a letting of blood affair. It is only a false alarm, and will certainly be arranged." The Journal des Debats says:, "We cannot Imagine an election maneuver in such a grave question. It is probable, and must be hoped for, that tho good sense of the statesmen of Washington and London would 'prevent the dispute from being envenomed to the extent of an open rupture, in spite of the excited tone of the newspapers of both countries." The Temps says that "a fratricidal struggle between Great Britain and the great republic of the new world would seem a crime against humanity and civilization," and adds: "As much as it is inadmlssable that England can accept the arrogant pretensions of the message, so Is it to be hoped that she will discover a pacific and equitable solution of the difficulty. As to an AngloAmerican war. It is Impossible. These periodical ebullitions cannot result in such a crime against civilization. In 1SSS. when Mr. Cleveland was on the eve of a presidential campaign, he acted as a Chauvinist in giving Sir Lionel Sackville-West his passports. Nothing further resulted. There will be a great deal of outcry, chiefly because Mr. Bayard's maladdress and Lord Dunraven's misadventures have excited the people, but all will finally be arranged. Whatever lessen arrogance on one side and a spirit of conquest and domination on the other side deserve, we hope and expect a peaceable solution of the affair." The Republlque Franca says: "It Is In every way a big affair which has fallen Into Lord Salisbury's hands. They would not be sorry in London to draw the United States Into a quarrel, in view of our frontier troubles .with Brazil. But they must not imagine that we shall hasten to play, on this occasion, the game of diplomacy of Great Britain, who is isolated In the East and far East. We shall be curious .and amused to see what steps she will take respecting this 111-temDered Brother Jonathan, in view of her policy of Independent action." THE STATE'S 3lfMTIA FOnCE. It Numbers About n.OOO Half Million 3Ien Available. This State has a militia force of about three thousand men. The exact number cannot be determined until the last of this month, when the annual report is to be made to the Governor. These troops are all subject to the call of the President In case of need. Adjutant-general Robbins says he could concentrate the entire force at any central , point In tho State, ready to proceed to the East, In eight hours. Of this number 2 are officers. This is the peace footing of the State's military, but In case of war the available men would reach something like a half million. At the last enumeration, trade last rfring. there were C27.072 voters in the State, of whom probably those in excess of a half million would be incapacitated or beyond the age of conscription. There is considerable war talk at the militia headquarters in the Statehouse. CJuartermaster-general Compton says he want.t to put hi. name at the head of the first list of volunteers In case It should lecorre necessary for the Governor to call for men for service. He says he want. to be a captain of a battery and would prefer that to being a major general. All the attaches of this office are looking forward to the bare possibility that war will follow the President's message with considerable elation and are anxious, at least so they say, for a declaration of war.

GARBAGE

Day after day. month in und month out. with the regularity of clockwork carts loaded with all manner cf refuse drive up, and their contents are shot or dumped into the already huge piles of filth and refuse watting to be loaded on to scows and towed away, to be dumped Into the ocean. Xo one not. knowing the facta can lightly estimate the vast amount of refuse and waste matter of every kind that is dally collected and daily thrown out of a large city. It Is amaxlng and one views with horror the pestilential results of falling to col.ect and dispose of such garbage, in eryi m&n woman and chllds body la like a largo city with regard to garbage and waste products. As is the community so are the Individuals that go to make ud the community. In our bodies afe tho lungs, heart, tom ach, bowels, brain, liver, nerves, spleen, kidneys, bones, muscles, tendons, glands, ducts, skin, bladder, mucous membrane, hair, teeth, nails, tongue, eyes, etc. All theso organs and tissues are Inhabitants of our body. All must be fed and nourished. Each takes something different from the blood to feed upon, and each casts out different garbajre, waste and refuse Into the streets of the body the blool vessels. LIko Venice, the Ftreets of the body aro waterways, and Instead of sweeping them we must purify them by nitration. Every one of these inhabitants of our body, on the health' of which our health and vigor depend must eat. must cast out their resulting filth as well as the waste products produced by tho wear and tear of their regular work. Our blood, then, contains not only the fool for our organs and tissues, but their garbage. Rut this Is not all. The stomach in digesting the food we eat and getting it ready to nourish those organs an! tissuei leaves behind poisons and impuritlea that also foul the blood. How does the body cleanse Itself? At tho dumps. There are scavengers In our body as well as in our city. Every particle of waste, poison and refuse is quickly picked up and swept along by the iapldiy moving blood and Is carried to the "dumps," where it Is cast out. The kidneys are the. 'dump" of the human body. On their activity and labor, minute by minute, day and night, never resting, never sleeping, never idling, depends the health and vigor: in short, the life of every organ and tissue In the body. If .they become weak, sick or diseased and fall to do their work or do It only partially, every organ and tissue In the body feels it. The kidneys must bo kept healthy, active and strong in perfect working order. Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills not only makes them healthy, but keeps them healthy. Every time we eat asparagus nature hints to us that w have eaten something that does the kidneys good. Every hint given by nature must be taken as meaning something. The Hobb's Medicine Company, of Chicago, took that hint and extracted from the root and berries of the asparagus a remedy for the kidneys and urinary organs the like of which the world has never before seen. Recause It Is nature's own remedy. Another point. Handling and dealing so constantly with impurities and poisons the kidneys themselves often become diseased in the performance of their work. Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney . Pills prevent this. They are like an extra force of fresh, active hands at the "dumps." The excess of garbage is quickly and promptly disposed of and the whole system is made pure and clean again. And the kidneys, relieved of the strain of extra work, soon recover their strength, and activity. Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills are both life-savers and health preserver.
