message upon which dissent was heard
was its recommendation that the COM
mission should be appointed by the
executive, several members thinking
that congress should have voice in
the selection of the men to investigate
the boundary problem. But on this
point also there was a division, other
Republicans saying that it would be
more advisable to permit the admin
istration to bear all the responsibility
for carrying it's policy into effect.
Moreover, the feeling of responsibility
and appreciation of the weight OF the
interests involved was not lacking
among both parties, and tended to act
as a brake against any hasty action.
There were not lacking members OF
the house willing to serve upon the
projected commission, and there was
also a prevalent idea that the commits
sion would go to Venezuela to prose-
cute it's inquiry. The president did
not suggest the necessity of such a
trip, and some of the foremost lawyers
of the house said it was no more neces-
sary than for a court to personally in
spect real estate to pass upon It's TUE.

PROF. woOLsEY DIsAGREEs.
He Says President Cleveland Has
Been III-Advfsed.


NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Dec 1S.-Prof.
Thomas Woolsey, who holds the chair
of international law in the Yale law
school,, speaking today Of the presi-
dents message on the Venezuela dis
pute, said:
1.-The president has been ill-advised.
When he says that the dispute be-
tween Great Britain and Venezuela is
dangerous to our national safety, he
says that which everybody knows. to
be ridiculous. The president empha-
sizes unduly a single phase of the
account the special circumstances
which the Monroe dostrine was in
tended to meet. In the whole matter
the Monroe doctrine should be kept
out of sight as inapplicable, and the
question should be argued on grounds
of national policy. The president finds
his offer of arbitrat ton declined. He
But the mediator known to interna-
tiona1 law must be accepted by both
parties, who are also both free to re-
ject his decision. In this case neither
party made the president a mediator,
and he announces his intention to en-
force a decision. He is, therefore, not
a mediator, but a dictator. Compul-
out of place as would have been SIM
liar proposition in our northwest and
northeast boundary disputes"
Prof Woolsey said he regarded
England's refusal of arbitration in
the matter as a mistake. Referring
conversationally to the presidents
message, he said: THE president has
gone cunning without taking out a
gun Lyonaise."

STRENGTH ON THE SEA.
Ship-BuiIder Cramp Speaks of Our
Navy.


NEW YORK, Dec. ia local pa
per prints an interview in Washing
ton with Charles H. Cramp, the head
of the Philadelphia shipbuilding firm,
on the subject of possible war with
England. He does not think there will
be an immediate order for new yes
sells, for he says these ordered now
would hardly be available, if needed
soon, as it takes at least two years to
build a battleship. He said:
1.-The presidents message is just SO
strong as it represents the national
strength on the sea- Without a single
battleship, it would be weak and be-
would demand some attention.; and SO
on as the number increased, until, If
backed up by twenty, it would be un-
answerable. Now, what is the United
States strength b1s as to @ he ~
few months, four of the first-class, the
Indiana, Massachusetts, Iowa and Ore
gon. Then there are the Texas and
the Maine, of the second class, the
Monterey, which has demonstrated her
tonomoh which is smaller than the
Monterey, and the Amphitrite, of the
Monitor class, and the Terror, the
Puritan and Monadnock. With this
showing it can be seen what strength
the presidents message has"
When asked how long it would take
to transform the four ocean grey
hounds to war vessels, as stipulated
in the mail contracts, Mr.. Cramp said
they could be made ready in a couple
of weeks, but that he did not think
they would be of much use in a naval
battle, but would be of service as
commerce destroyers. The Cramps
have now in their yards the Massa-
chusetts, first-class battleship, which
was reported to the navy yard on
Dec. 1 as 95 per cent near completion,
so it will not take long to finish her;
the Iowa, a first-class battleship, re-
ported as so per cent near completion,
and the Brooklyn, an armored cruiser,
GA per cent completion.

WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. 1S.-Attor-
ney General Sifton returned today
from the East, where he had a con-
sultation with Laurier and other Lib
eral leaders on the school question.
Mr.. Sifton said the local cabinet will
meet Friday and complete it's an
swer to the Ottawa government COM
munication Of July last. The docu-
ment will probably be forwarded Sat
urday. While the attorney general
could not tell the exact wording of the
reply, he intimated it would be to the
effect that Manitobans would not re-
vert to the separate school system and
were not aware that anything less
than the state of things which exist
ed prior to 1890 would satisfy the Ro-
man Catholc minority. 1t was not for
the Manitoba government to propose
any compromise. They were willing,
however, to negotiate with the minor
ity through a commission as to what
amendments to the present school law
would be acceptable to them.

ator Hodge, of Pine City, and Rep
resentative Anderson and L. w. Fol
som, of Taylor's Falls, also accom-
panied the delegation.
The visitors were given hearing
and a map was presented showing the
location of the other asylums, and d.
viding the state into districts. The
map showed that sixteen and one-half
counties, containing a population ac-
cording to the state census, of 562, 169,
were directly tributary to Rush City;
that 1t was a district constantly in
creasing in population, and, in short,
natural location for the hospital, be-
ing easily accessible from the three
largest cities and the mining district
in the northwestern part of the state.
Mr.. Markham stated that the soil In
that vicinity was excellent, and they
could offer a tract of land with fine
stream running through it.
After listening to tho proposition, the
commission decided that no further
sites could be considered, as an oppor-
tunity had been given some time
since for cities desiring to do SO to
send in plans.
The delegation from Anoka was also
quite large, and they came down fear
ing no competition except Hastings.
The commissioners were all present
at the meeting. o. c. Merriman, of
Minneapolis, presided. After the mat
ter of a location was disposed of, the
board adjourned to meet today at st.

NEW YORK, Dec 1S.-A dispatch
to the World from Caracas, Venezu-
Ella, says: The news of the Cleveland
trinemessage, uncompromisingly up
ing Venezuela and the Monroe doc
trine, created the widest joy and
enthusiasm in this capital. 1t has
produced new confidence in the fut-
ure of the country and acts like
magic ON business activity and en-
terprise. The Venezuelan foreign
office declares that it will sustain the
dignity and sovereignty of the repub-
lie by force if necessary. One hum
dred and fifty thousand soldiers can
be put into the field. The govern
ment declines to speak officially in
regard to the Yuruan incident, but
the World correspondent is assured
that it will refuse to concede the in
demnity of 900 recently demanded
by Great Britain.
: 1T is reported that English warships
are on their way here. The arrival of
the American naval squadron is anX-
iously awaited. The Venezuelan press
calls upon the people to show their
patriotism on this great occasion and
their gratitude towards the whole re-
public of the North, which has proved
in the supreme crisis it's staunch al
Hance to the principles laid down by
Its most advanced statesmen in the
early years of it's history. The press
also urged upon the people the duty of
preparing at once for war with all
their energy.
Englishmen resident in Caracas be-
tray their uneasiness, but express the
hope that there will be la peaceful So
/ luton of the difficulty.
Tonight Caracas is crazy with patri-
otic enthusiasm. Pictures of ex-Presi-
dent Monroe are displayed everywhere
and the statue of Washington has been
decorated with American flags and
floral wreaths. A grand mass meeting

Hastings was hailed with joy and en-
thuSiaSm here tonight, Second and
Vermillion streets being ablaZe with
illuminations. A spontaneous recep-
ton was rendered Mayor George Par
ker and others of our citizens, in-rec-
ognition of their noble efforts, and
flags and banners f1oated to the breeze.
The procession consisted of the Hast
ings militia, the Hastings fire COM
pany and citizens in carriages and on
foot, headed by the Hastings and
Prescott brass bands. That Hastings
was the appropriate place for the 10
eating Of the asylum is conceded by
all in point of merit, considering her
magnificent site, her fertile soil, ex-
cellent water power, her pleasant sur
roundings, and her easy access to st.
Paul and Minneapolis. The men COM
prising the commission are to be con-
graduated, and it will ever be to the
credit of Minnesota that the asylum
was located in the beautiful city Of
Hastings.
The selection of Hastings as the site
for the hospital was satisfactory to
the people of st. Paul. A number of
them, seen after the announcement of
the result was made, expressed them
selves as follows:
7. L. Schurmeier-I am we'll satisfied
with the location and believe Hastings
Is, all circumstances being considered,
the best place for the asylum.
DR.. G. A. Wheaton, am glad to
know that Hastings won the hospital,
for it is good point, and it's business
influence will be in favor of ST. Paul
I think, however, that it would have
been fortunate had it been located in
the midway district, for the Twin
Cities are the center of professional
interest, so far as medicine is con-
cerned In the state, and the hospital
would have been invaluable from a
clinical standpoint Still I ann glad
that Hastings got the hospital.
DIR. j. w. Thompson-The fact of the
hospital being located at Hastings
gives this city a. decided advantage
Hastings Is a fine point, from health
standpoint; in fact, a better location
would be very hard to find. The selec-
ton is a wise one, which time will
more fully demonstrate, than it ap-
pears now.
B. H. Evans, of Schuneman & Evans
1t is a good thing for this city, and
I, for one, am glad Hastings got the
asylum.
Henry E. Wedelstaedt-The location
Is fortunate for both St. Paul and
Hastings. The asylum is a good thing
for everybody seems to have wanted
it, and am glad that Hastings won.
Joseph Elsinger-I am pleased to
know of anything which is benefit
directly or indirectly to St. Paul, and
the new asylum at Hastings will help
this city. Hastings Is to be congrat-
ulated ON her success.
William Bannon, of Bannon & Co.
I have been SO occupied with business
that I have not followed this matter
but I am pleased to hear of the good
fortune of Hastings. 1t will, I have
no doubt, prove benefit to st. Paul
in a business way.

man for Anoka and Carlson for Chas-
ka. On the next six ballots the vote
stood exactly the same, and on the
ninth Mr.. Carlson changed his vote
to Hastings, thereby giving that
town a majority of one. Messrs
Bloch, Merriam and Eastman voted
for Anoka right straight through the
nine ballots, but when the final vote
was counted, and Hastings was
found to have a majority, motion to
make the vote unanimous was put
and carried.
The commission decided not to ad-
vertise for plans and specifications
until several hospitals had been Wis
tied. They will go to ST. Peter today
and to Rochester tomorrow to look
over the buildings.
The offer made by the city Of Hast
ings to the commissioners is very
liberal one. The city is to receive
81, 500 for the site, which is 642 acres
in extent. The value of the land is
$50 per acre, and it has water power
valued at $S0,000. The city agrees
further to put improvements on the
site to the value of 100000 From the
descriptions furnished of the other
sites offered the Hastings one con-
tains all the advantages and in every
way meets the demands Of location
for such an institution. The citizens

Before the plans are advertised for
upon the general plan Of the build
ings, whether they will be on the cot
tage plan or as the other hospitals
are, and in connection with this the
important proposition as to whether
the hospital shall be for the treat
ment of acute cases only or for all
classes of patients, as the other hos
pitals are. The commissioners have
been in correspondence with author
tiles all over the country in regard
to this matter, and it was discussed
briefly at the meeting yesterday. The
general feeling seems to be in favor
of the cottage plan, but the commits
sion will visit some of the most prom
inent hospitals in the country before
arriving at any definite conclusions
as to what plan will be recommended
to the legislature next winter.
A good deal of excitement was got
ten up around the capitol while the
meeting was in progress, and this
was increased when Rush City ap-
peared in the field as a candidate. A
large delegation came down and Of
fered a site of $40 acres of land or
