HARVARD MANS IDEAS.
Force the Only Tribunal Which Can
Pass UpOn the Question.


BOSTON, Dec. Isl. H. Beale, jr.,
professor of international law at Harry
ard, says 1t is erroneous to believe the
presidents assertions in the Venezuelan
question are justified by International
law. They are merely an affirmation
of national policy, but one which has
proved by usage to be a sound and
desirable one.
As to the enforcement of the doctrine
by this government, "by every means
in its power Professor Beale says,
force is the only tribunal which can
pass on the question, it being adj
I1itted that no principle of interna-
tional law is involved"
Professor BeaQe referred to the fact
that the Monroe doctrine, adopted by
this country at the suggestion of Eng
land to thwart the designs of the
holy alliance" pleased England then.
but in the present case the boot ap-
pears to be on the other leg. When
asked to cite a precedent, if any ex-
listed for President Cleveland's action,
Professor BeaIe referred to the contro-
versy between this country and France
over the occupation Of Mexico by
Ma,cimiNIan's army, in which the
principle involved was the same as
now. though the cause of the dispute
was different.
France insisted that her court was
directed by no desire ITO acquire terri
tory by conquest, but by a purpose to
redress wrongs. Secretary Seward in
sisted on the enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine and with the result that
France Withdrew her army.

AT CARACAS.
Message Created Widest JOY and
Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S-A special to
the World from Caracas says: The
news of the Cleveland message, IN
compromisingly upholding Venezuela
and the Monroe doctrine createdNthe
widest joy and enthusiasm. 1t has
produced new confidence in the future
of the country and it acts like magic.
The Venezuelan foreign office declares
that it will sustain the dignity and
sovereignty of the republic by force if
necessary, and 100000 soldiers can be
put in the field. The government de-
cIines to speak officially in regard to
the Uruan incident, but the World cor
is assured that it viii re-
fuse to concede the indemnity of $780,
coo recently demanded by Great
Britain.
It is reported that England's war
ships are on their way here The ar
rival of the American naval squadron
is anxiously awaited. The Venezuelan
press calls upon the people to show
their patriotism upon this great occa-
sion and that their gratitude toward
the noble republic of the north, which
has proved in the supreme criSis@ it's
staunch alliance to the principles laid
down by its most advanced statesmen
in the early years of its history. The
press also urges upon the people the
duty of preparing for war with all
their energy.

YALE MANS IDEA.
Believes the President Has been
Iu-Adyised.

1u-AdviSed.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 1S.-Prof.
Theodore S. Wolsey, who holds the chair
of international law in the Yale law COL
lege, speaking today of the presidents
message on the Venezuela dispute, said:
1.-THE president has been i'll advised When
he says the dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela is dangerous to our nation
al safety he says that which everybody
knows to be ridiculous. The president
emphasizes unduly single phrase of the
Monroe doctrine, without taking into ac-
count the special circumstances which the
Monroe doctrine was intended to meet
In the whole matter, the Monroe doctrine
should be kept out of sight as in
applicable. and the question should be
argued on grounds of national
policy. The president finds his
offer of arbitration declined. He now am
nounces himself as mediator. But the
mediator known to international law must
be accepted by both parties, who are also
both free to reject his decision. In this
case neither party made the president a
mediator, and he announces his intention
to enforce a decision. He is therefore not
a mediator, but the dictator. The COM
pulsory mediation in this case is as much
cut of place as would have been a SIM
northeast boundary disputes.
Prof. WolSey said he regarded England's
refusal of arbitration a mistake. Re
ferring to the message of the president.

A letter dated December has been
received here from an American mis-
sionary at Caesarea, giving narrowing
details of the horrors Of the previous
three days. The writer says the Turks
sWarmed into the houses, stoning, club
bling and killing every Armenian with
in reach. The American mission was
not harmed, evidently owing to orders
issued by the Turkish officials, but, the
missionary continues, the barbarity
practiced passes all description. The
victims were literally hacked to pieces
and a thousand persons were killed on
the afternoon Of November 80. The
missionary says the Turkish soldiers
confessed that the government gave
them permission to pillage.

CkAMP TALKS.
The Presidents Message is just as
Strong as it Represents Strength
ON the Sea.

on the Sea.
NEW YORK. Dec. ia local paper
prints an interview from Washing
ton with Charles H. Cramp the head
of the ship building firm, on the sub
ject Of al possible war with Great Brit
ain growing out of the presidents at
titude on the Venezuelan question.
Mr.. Cramp does not think there will
be an immediate order for new yes
sells. for he says those ordered now
would hardly be available if needed
soon as it takes at least two years
t obuild a battleShip. He said:
1.-THE presidents message is just
so strong as 1T represents the national
strength on the sea. Without a single
tbattleship it would be weak and be-
meath notice: with one such vessel it
would demand some attention, and so
on as the number increases, until. if
backed UP by twenty. it would be I'M
anSwerable. Now what is the United
States strength as to bajttleships?
There are available. or will be in q. few
months. four of the first-class-the In
diana. Massachusetts. Iowa and Ore
gon. Then there are the Texas and
the Maine of the second class, the
Monterey, which has demonstrated
her ability to go on sea cruises; the
Mfantnomah. which is smaller than
the Monterey, and the AmphTitrite, of
the monitor class. There is the Ter
ror. the Puritan and the Monadnock.
With this showing it can be seen what
strength of the presidents message"
When asked how long it would take
to transform the four ocean grey
hounds of the American line into war
vessels as stipulated in the mail con-
tract, Mr.. Cramp said they could be
made ready in a couple of weeks, but
that he did think that they would be
of much use in a naval battle, but
would be of service as commerce de-
stroyers. The Cramps have now in
their yards the Massachusetts, first
class baIttleship which was reported
to the navy yard on December 1 as
90 per cent near completion, so it will
not take long to finish her: the Iowa,
q. f1rst-class battleship, reported as so
per cent near completion and the
BROOKLYN. an arnored cruiser, 81
per cent near completion.

Pauncefote,s Recall.


Boring sea damages.
Pauncefote's Recall.
The Post Conservative says: eff
the utteranceS of Secretary Olney and
President Cleveland mean anything
they would justify the recall of Sir
Julian Pauncefote. The language of
Secretary Olney's document would ex-
pose us to a demand to retire not only
from Canada and Jamaica. but from
Australia, India and Cape Colony. 1t
is difficult to suppose that such a paper
could be framed unless for the purpose
of degrading England. It is not to be
supposed that the position Of England
held for 500 years against the world
will be yielded to America without a
struggle, and when such language is
used it becomes necessary to consider
the chances of war"
Sheer Amusement.
The Times correspondent at Vienna
says: 1.-The impression here is one of
sheer amazement that President Cleve-
land should be disposed to rush head
long with a light heart into a, con-
fitct with Great Britain. IF the Wash
ington government imagines from the
talk of Englands isolation that Amer
lea will get European sympathy it is
woefully mistaken"
The Chronicle SAYS it is rumored that
Lord Salisbury consulted the princi-
pal European governments before re-
plying to Olney'S dispatch.
Elsewhere the Chronicle says the
opinions of the continental papers ap-
pear to confirm THE rumor.

Inc Liverpool correspondent of the
Times says: The general opinion
among shippers and members of the
american chamber Of commerce is ONE
OF astonishment at President CIeve-
iands attitude. There is a conviction
that he will never be elected to a third
term.
A Berlin dispatch to the Daily News
says: The Boersen Courier betrays a
mischevious joy and warns England
that she is at last brought into serious
trouble. 1t says that England is no
longer In position to convince small
states Of her claims by bombarding
frigates.
The Frankfurter Zeitung says that
England is the aggressive party and
is wrong to refuse arbitration, but that
nobody will wonder at her refusal to
accept President CIeVe1and'S pronosed
American commission.
A special from Paris gives an inter
view with Jules Simon in which he
said he thought that If 1t was mere
political movement such tactics were
unworthy of President Cleveland and
