NO TROUBLE.
America Could Borrow all the Money She
Wants Abroad,

New York, December 3d. A number
of the leading bank presidents last night
discussed the financial situation in all its
bearings.
Henry W. Cannon, president of the
Chase National bank, when asked if it
would not be extremely difficult for the
United States to float its bonds abroad
at the present time, replied: ~ do not
share the apprehension expressed by some
persons, that this country will be unable
to borrow money in the markets Of the
world whenever needed. have no doubt
that the government can borrow 800, 900
in gold Immediately, at home or abroad.
The question would be the rate Of inter
est we will be compelled to pay"
A. b. Hepburn, president OF the Third
National bank said: The best thing
which could occur now would BIZ for the
United States to offer its bonds to the
London bankers The mere fact of such
a proposition being made would allay
the war scare on this side more than any
thing else. 1t would 60 very far in DEM
onstrating to England that there was
little anticipation of war between the two
countries from our standpoint
Former Assistant Treasurer Ellis H.
Roberts, president Of the Franklin Ma
tional bank, said that immediate relief
was demanded by the urgenoies of the
situation. 1t may be the currency will
have to wait for adjustment for calmer
moments, but with popular loan, which
would undoubtedly be freely subscribed
Tor. the government paper which is the
constant foe Of the g old reserve, could be
withdrawn gradually and thus the de-
mand for gold be at once largely reduced.
j. Pierpont Morgan, John A. Stewart,
ex-president of the United States Trust
company. and August Belmont were ask
ed for their views on the situation. They
did not care tn make any public utter
anoes just at the moment.

GROVER is RIGHT.
"Major" Mnrphy Says So and He Is
~ An Authority.

Major" Daniel Murphy, the we'll
known Mexican war veteran. is careful
student of political events He expressed
himself yesterday in regard to the Vene-
zuean difficulty in these words:
THE message is simply a renewed
affirmation of the Monroe doctrine. 1t
expresses the meaning and purpose of
that doctrine. Mr.. Cleveland's express
sion of it is clear and concise. not by any
means over stated or incorporate. 1t does
not matter on what pretext England is
seeking to extend her ssytem of govern
ment of continent It she seeks in apy
way to extend her territory against the
with the Monroe doctrine And since we
say in obedience to that doctrine, that
she shall not extend her system of gov
eminent on this continent, it is for us to
decide whether or not she is doing so,
either by just arbitration or through our
own investigation
SIT is certainly not for England to de-
ci de for us whether she violates the Mon
roe doctrine or not. That we must decide
for ourselves. do not consider Mr.
Cleveland's message in any sense lingo
document! 1t is strong and decided, as
1t should be. l do not think we need
worry about war. 1t is very long way
of. The fact is that we cannot abandon
the Monroe doctrine, and that we must
make clear our intention to stick to it
whenever foreign power shows an incli-
nation to forge it's existence and validity.
We can not make clear that inclination
to forget its existence as Mr. Cleevland's
message now makes it clear without
expsing ourselves to any charge of
animosity or undue fighting spirit, and
without being very nervous about the
consequences. Without the Monroe doc
trine there would be nothing to keep the
European powers from dividing up South
Africa
