Filing n Bond.

President G. E. Abbott Of the Washing
ton, Alexandra and Mt. Vernon Railroad
Company appeared before the Commission
ers this morning for a permit to construct
the road within the city limits. He said
an arrangement had been entered into with
Contractor Saxton. who is building the
Metropolitan road, to commence the con-
struction of his road as soon as the permit
was issued. He objected, however, to the
large deposit required by the Commission
ers, and said that 5000 was 100 much, in
view of the shortness Of his road within the
city. 1t would only traverse IL miles in
the city. In reply to a question he said
there was no doubt about the ability of the
company to build the road. Only four men
were interested in the road, and they had
already expended $4,000. He did not OBJ
ject to filing suitable bond for IS, Co., but
did not think the company should be COM
PEELED to lose the interest on a certified
check, as required The Commissioners in
timated that proper bond would answer
the purpose, and 1t Is believed the permit
will issue on Monday next.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
What 1t is and What 1t Means Clearly
Explained.

John Bach McMaster, in the New York Herald.
1. 1t must be remembered, in the first
place, that the declarati on which Mon
roe, in 1898, consulted his cabinet and his
two predecessors Jefferson and Madison,
related to the meddling of the powers of
Europe in the affairs Of American states
2. That the kind of meddling then de-
clared against was such as tended to con-
troll the political affairs of American pow
ers, or was designed to extend to the new
world the political system and institutions
of the old.
3. That the declaration did not mark out
any course of conduct to be pursued but
merely asserted that interposition of the
kind mentioned would be considered as dan
gerous to our peace and safety, and a man.
hesitation of an unfriendly disposition to-
ward the United States.
4. That this doctrine has never been in
dorsed by any resolution or act of Congress,
but still remains the declaration of Presi.
dent and his cabinet
3. Nevertheless, 1t was and is an emf
nently proper and patriotic doctrine, and
as such has been Endorsed by the peo-
pie of the United States, and needs no other
sanction. The people not Congress, rule
this country. 1t Is not of the smallest con-
sequence, therefore. whether Congress ever
has or ever does indorse the doctrine which
very fittingly bears the name of the first
President to announce 1t.
6. The Monroe doctrine is a simple and
plain statement that the people of the
United States oppose the creation of Euro
pean dominion on American soil; that they
oppose the transfer of the political sover-
eighty of American soil to European pow
ers, and that any attempt to do these
things will be regarded dangerous to
our peace and safety" What the remedy
should be for such nterpostion by Euro
pean powers the doctrine does not pretend
to state. But this much is certain, that
when the people of the United States con-
slider anything dangerous to their peace
and safety" they will do other nations
do, and IL necessary defend their peace
and safety with force of arms
Z. The doctrine does not contemplate fore
ible Intervention by the United States in
any legitimate contest, but will not permit
any such contest to result in the increase
of European power or Influence on this con-
tinent, nor in the overthrow of an existing
government, nor in the establishment of a
protectorate over them, nor in the exercise
of any direct control over their policy or in
situations. Further than this the doctrine
does not go. 1t does not commit us to take
part in wars between a South American re-
public and European sovereign when the
object of the latter is not the founding Of a
monarchy under a European prince in place
of an overthrow republic. In the present
instance, therefore, the doctrine does not
apply so long as England does not hold the
ports of Nicaragua longer than is necessary
to secure the payment of the sum she is
determined to extort. Should she attempt
to hold Nicaragua forever the Monroe doc
trine would apply, and our duty and policy
would be resistance.

Something About the Wrangle Among

Dr.. Eliot Coues Declares the Society

StuDendOus Sort.

The differences which have recently
arisen in the ranks of the theosophists
have occasioned considerable public inter-
est, particularly among the uninitiated,
who are ever curious to learn all that may
be possible about mysticism, especially of
the religious sort. Those who have fol-
lowed the rather ragged course OF modern
theosophy, 80 called. have noticed that
ever since the death of Madame Blavatsky,
the archpriestess of the sect, there has
been continual contention In what calls it.
self the Universal Brotherhood Of Man.
Mrs. Annie Besant and William @. Judge
might be called the two leading lights Of
theosophy after the death Of Madame Bla-
vatsky
Mrs. Besant was the wife of an English
Episcopal clergyman, whom she left to
follow the guidance Of Charles Bradlaugh,
the English free thinker. While under his
influence she became known in Great Bri-
tain as a powerful platform speaker in be-
half of atheism. Bradlaugh died, and Mrs.
Besant became a follower and disciple Of
Madame Blavatsky, the woman who first
turned the middle world of susceptible peo-
Pile upside down by her PRONUNCIATION Of

ing communion with those wonderful spirit

pulsion of the astral body through limitless

attending to its local business and lot of
ether wonderful things. all of which were
startling and well calculated to stir up the
curiosity of the credulous.
William @. Judge was New York law

When Madame Blavatsky got Sol" H. s
Olcott In her train Mr.. Judge shortly after

death he was her right-hand man in this

her with little less affection than she held
her other intimates in the spirit world.
