Fate of the Davis Resolution.

Washington, Jan. 22. —The prediction is made by members of the house committee on foreign affairs that if the proposed reaffirmation of the Monroe doctrine is adopted by the senate and sent over to the house for action it will be allowed to rest quietly in the committee files. A canvass of more than a majority of both Republican and Democratic members of the committee failed to discover any member who indorses it. One of the foybmost authorities on diplomatic imiXei’s in the house said that he deemed it poor diplomacy to take any steps tending to increase the tension between this government and Great Britain at this time.
