THE MONROE DOCTRINE Will Bmom a Forttoa of tW Written U* of tlu Land, tod Xo Lon«'«r t Moio Bhadowy Myth—The Senate Committee on Foreign Bela tlona Adopt. With More Blading Amendment* Senator Darla' Joint Beeolntlocu WASHnreTOT, Jan. 18.—The senate eommittee on foreign relation s met at 10:45 a. nu. for the purpose of considering the Monroe doctrine resolution now before that committee. All members were present but one. Mr. Gray made an elaborate argument against the adoption of a' resolution affirming the Monroe doctrine, but his argument fell upon deaf ears The committee was overwhelmingly Ip favor of such resolution. It .was proposed by Mr. P^vis, Minnesota, chairman of the subcommittee, and was, after prolonged discussion made'still stronger in one or two particulars. The application of the doctrine, by various secretaries of state, has led to contradictory positions, and one member of the committee maintained, to dangerous admissions. This the committee intends to obviate by enacting into law a resolution of such broad and general character that those hereafter charged with the diplo- ' matic correspondence of the government need only* to cite its provisions. The resolutions to be reported to the senate will cover any and all cases. The committee adjourned at 12:45 after voting tp adopt the resolution submitted by Mr. Davis. The committee voted not to give out the text until »t is reported to the senate Monday. A SIGNAL VICTORY For the Government In Japan—The Qoeen of Corea I* Dead. Washixotok, Jan. 18.—Dispatches received at the Japanese legation state that on the 9th inst. a vote was taken in the diet, or Japanese congress, npon a motion to memorialize the emperor against the foreign policy of the government and especially against its relinquishment of the Liao Tung peninsula. The motion was defeated by a vote oM?0 to 10.1. A full membership t he diet is 306. This result, inasmuch as the diet has almost invariably been hostile to the administration, i9 regarded as a signal victory for the government. Mioura, the Japanese minister to Corea at the time of the murder of the queen, remains in close confinement in Japan, and his trial for complicity in that crime Is being arranged for. No question is entertained in Japan that the queen was really killed ami cremated, as stated in dispatches published at the time. The evidence in regard to her death and the means employed tp bring it about is said to be conclusive. i * MONUMENT TO GEN. GRANT

rhe Society of the Army of the Tennessee rrtpirtnj; to Krect One. Washiuoton. Jan. IS.—A local paper says that the Society of the Army of the Tennessee has taken up the matter of the erection of some sort of a monument in this city to commemorate the life and fame of Gen. C. S. Grant. At a meeting to further the project Gen. G. M. Dodge, of New York, acted as chairman, and Col. C. C. Cadle as secretary. There were also present Senator Vilas, Congre—.men Henderson and Hepburn, of Iowa: Congressman Hull; Congressman Belknap and Gen J. A. Williamson.^ It was determined - to ask congress to appropriate £10.000 .to be used in getting ^lans and other preliminary expenses, and at the next session to ask for S2i0,0tl0 to build a monument in this city that would be cothmensurate in every way with the ''haracter and services of Gen, Grant UNPRECEDENTED, x _ But It Showed that a Responsive Chore Had Been Struck. Washington, Jan. 18.—Appla.use following the delivery of a prayer in the house is an unusual, probably unprecedented, incident in its pr.ic- edinga? but when Chaplain Couden offered the following invocation; “Oar Heavenly Father. »e thank Thee for l!.e degree of spiritual liberty we, as a people. enjoy, and our hearts go out for those in other lands who are struggling for a wider liberty. Especially do we pray for the Caban and ask that if they be right their efforts may be crowned with success. And we pray that our country may do for them all that it can.without compromising its dignity or in disregard of its sacred obligations and duties to other nations." there was a lively outbreak of handciapping all over the floor.

ALBERT 'WALLACE, Woo Uardcmt lit* Sl*t»r la T»ww*Ii Coasty, III-. to bp Hauer*!. PiKiS, HL, Jan. IS.—Albert Wallace mil be hacked at the jail in Pekin in the early part of March. He was convicted of the murder of his sister at IheTSzeweli county circuit court at the September session. He was sentenced to death, the execution being v* for October 25, but the suprsvae court granted a sripersedeas. TUe supreme court has been hearing the case this week, and Thursday evening a telegram was received by the state's attorney to the effect that the court had reversed the case and ordered the judge of Tazewell county to resentence him. The earliest date on whieh Wallace can be hanged is March 13, aud as this falls on Friday the execution will undoubtedly take place or that date. Yhe Canadian High Commissioners!*!!*. Ottawa. OnL.

THE TWENTY-FIFTH Autrcnwr of the Proclamation of the Gwrnu Empire Observed m m Ab*olate Holiday la Berlin and Other Oer* ara Cltloe—1 mpertal and Popular Cere* atoaiee—The New Order ef “Emperor William the Great.” Bsrlix, Jan. 19.—The twenty-fifth anniversary of the proclamation of the German empire was observed as an absolute holiday in Berlin and other German cities. Services were held in all the churches and synagogues m the city, and the public buildings and private houses were decorated with flags, the effect of which, * however, was greatly marred by the drizzling s rain and fog which prevailed. Besides the imperial ceremonies in the white hall ol the Schloss, there were many feasts and ceremonies, public and private, throughout the country. Prof. Weinhold delivered an oration in the university in the afternoon, and the Academy Glee dnion gave a concert. In the evening 2,SOO students met at a banquet at the Friedrichstein brewery, and there was also a veterans' banquet at the Concordia fest halie. which was followed by tableaus vivants presenting events of the war of 1870. Four thousand tickets were sold for the tableau^. The Ceremonies in the White Hall of the Schloss were most imposing. The German and Prussian ministers, together with a number of other exalted persons, assembled in the picture galler; of the palace and proceeded to the Wb te Hall. Shortly after they reached the hall Prince Hohenlohe announced ' the coming of the kaiser, attended by the castle guard, with flags and ( standards, and by courtiers Rearing , the imperial scepter, crown, sw€>rd, etc., j upon cushions. The emperor seated' himself upon the throne, where he was t surrounded by the Prussian princes. ! .His majesty then delivered a message ! '{to the ministers, in which he said he recognized the duty which devolved ! upon all -of perfecting the defensive j strength of the empire and protecting its independence. 8 A special edition of the Reiehsanzeiger publishes a decree granting amnesty to civilian prisoners equally with military offenders who are undergoing sentences requiring the payment of less than I.">0 marks fine, or six weeks’ imprisonment. The decree also pardons many persons who are undergoing punishment for less majeste. A new order has been created in honor of the occasion, the decoration consisting of a gold portrait of the emperor's grandfather, William I., with the inscription "In memory of William the Great." The decoration is to be worn. upon a neck chain. The first recipients of the order were the emperor. empress. -ex-Em press Frederick, the grand duchess of . Radon, the'king of Saxony, Countess Waldersee, Prince Bismarck, Dr, Miquel. minister of finance, ape Freiherr Von Beriepseh, minister of commerce. The emperor has bestowed the order of the Black Eagle upon former Ministers Camphausefi and Delhoueck.

THE NEW ISSUE OF BONDS. Bepairiksa Bottcameai In the Present Congress. Congress has been in session bat a short time, yet a brief review is necessary to a fair and intelligent understanding of the present situation. When Speaker Reed accepted his present position he said among other things, that “We most, above all things, avoid crude and hasty legislation.” No one has ever credited Mr. Reed with the breadth and depth of a great statesman. His previous record has made him notorious as a man who woilld compass hi# ends at almost any cost, but there was a belief that he would appreciate the opportunities opened to him as an avowed presidential candidate and pursue tha t course of conduct which would merit the approval of nil who are without selfish interests to serve. But despite his pronouncement against crude and hasty legislation and the dictates of policy as affecting his political prospects, he has promoted a most disastrous course of legislative proceeding. 1 . An obsequious committee on ways and means whipped through the house, after a discussion of three hours and forty minutes, a tariff bill covering more than 3,000 articles of import. With a like want of consideration there was rushed through a financial measure providing for large government loans and purporting to relieve the treasurer of grave embarrassments. The tariff measure is an arrant imposture, intended not to raise- $40,000,000 of revenue as pretended, but to gain firmer hold upon the element of wealth within the party for which its sinews of war are derived. So far as can be gathered from the evidenci ‘obtainable, the financial bill, instead of affording any permanent relief to the treasury by its issue of “coin” bonds tit three per cent; interest and for the prevention of the retirement of the greenbacks, was intended chiefly to

BAD FOR THE WOOLE1I TRADE. The Republican Tariff Policy Is Fatal to Business. We have shown how the tariff policy of the republican party, as ex pressed by the bill recently passed, woo Id increase the cost of woolen goods, both foreign and domestic, to consumers. The bill calls for an addition of alfcout 30 per cent, to the cost of foreign woolens until August 1, 1898, and the party leaders openly promise to make a further increase at that time if they shall have the power to make it. On the other hand, they would increase the cost of domestic woolens now by adding 42% per cent, to the cost of the raw material^ with the understanding'that they intend to add about 30 pep cent, more by and by.. We invite the attenfion of American manufacturers of woolens to the effect of such a policy. They have been using great quantities of wool, both foreign -and domestic, during the last 11 months. They have been able to use the best, wools of the world free of tariff tax. They have imported more than 123,000,000 pounds of clothing wools. Having set out to adapt their, industry' to | the new conditions and to take ad- i vantage of them, they are now threat- j ened by the republican party with the ; imposition in the near future (if the j house bill should or could become a law) of a duty which would increase ; the cost of such wool by 42% per cent., ! or from an average of 15% cents to about 22 cents a pound, and with “com- i pensation*’ amounting to about 30 per j cent, of the value of foreign woolens. It is openly proclaimed, moreover, j by the 4-epublican leaders that they would prefer now to impose a duty j which would increase the cost price <ff such wool from 15% cents to 26% cents I a pound, and the promise is clearly j made that they will impose this adtf|^ | tional tax in 1898 if the}' shall then con- j j trol the government. That is to say, the republican policy,

conciliate the bonanza miners and the champions of fiat money. In view of these facts as well as of the further fact that the measures referred to are to be the subject of long discussion in the senate, where* every financial heresy has an advocate among1 the republicans or their populist allies, the expected happened when Secretary Carlisle made Lis latest issue Of bonds. Time and time again President Cleveland has given the country the most positive assurance that he would under any and all circumstances maintain the public credit by maintaining the gold reseijve. When impending financial disaster became sufficiently probable to make delay hazardous, the promise whs made good. A four per cent, bond alone could be issued under existing law. Everything-that would tend to popularize it has been done and provision is made foe the issuance of bonds under a new law should it be provided in tine to make such a step practicable. The pledge of the administration has been carried ou& as a. matter of safety. The course of the republican party with the radical difidreniheof sentiment that

has asserted itself in the senate, has not been such as to create fauth at home or in tht financial world. The people, nose most vital interests are at stake, will not consent that partisanship shali prevail to jeopardize public and private crid it. Thus far the majority in congress has impressed the country with a conviction that there are divided councils and greaser efforts for factional advantage than for the general good. It is a matter for the heartiest congratulation that there is a strong administration to meet the dangera with which congress is showing itself incompetent to cope.—Detroit Free Dress. --J*he republicans are again in control iecor-gress, but the ten are of their power'trill depend on the character of their stewardship*.

as affecting the American manufacturers of woolens, is to take the manufacturers’ raw material from the free list now and tax it for 42% per cent, for two years, and at the cud of the two years to increase the tax to more t'han 10 per cent. What must be the effectof such repeated disturbance-upon any great industry? Whait would be the] eneet of it upon the domestic manu- | facture of woolen goods? Can such a j policy be regarded by American woolen S manufacturers with, complacency? We ] urge them to give the matter thought- ; fol consideration.—X, Y. Times.
