MUST KEEP HANDS OFF.

European Nations Have No Rights on American Continent. .* Senator Cullom addressed the Senate Monday afternoon upon the joint resolution introduced by week pfovid-

ing for a legislative affirmation of the Monroe doctrine. The galleries were, crowded, - and the large attendance ot Senators attested te the popular intercut felt in the subject. The Senator's renyrks were listened t<Twith close attention and evident approval. He said that in or dor that the United States should main

thin the national honor with its present unity and integrity it must have an as policy of such unquestioned propriety as to receive the universal sanction of the people. In his judgment the United States could no longer delay the proclamation of the American polity knownais the Monroe doctrine. The governments of the old world should know that seventy million American citizens were a unit in maintaining that doc’vine. Instead of remaining merely an edict of the President the doctrine enunciated by President Monroe should bear definite approval of Congress, and thus become * permanotH ordinance. Other nations seemed to regard tlm Monroe doctrine as impotent in guiding the coflduct of ths government, and hence they proceeded to the aceriniplishmenfi.bf their purposes without much reference to it. In Mr. Cullom’s judgment the time,had come when the nation should put the question beyond cavil by a COfigfcsfsibnal "declaration of fit e doct rln el 'TTwF'n tTtion" had played diplomacy long enough and without muyh effect. Great Britain had been disregarding polite requests, arguinehts, etc., touching her policy twreaefc out further until, if left alonfl. she will finally dominate Venezuela. The tim< ;had'come foe a plain, posijjye declaration of jthe Monroe doctrine by Gongross, and then, if necessary, jdaih, positive enforcement of it against all comers. Dr. Robert Safford Wfrrren, an alien ist attached to Recorder Goff’s court' it New York, has announced .that Barbara Aub, who swore falsely against Walter 8. Langeruian, is a hypnotic subject.

SENATOR CULLOM.
