senator Nelson W. A.drich. OF Rhode Island. was
said in a Joking way that he saw enough war IN the
back headlines OF the newspapers to warrant MIN
IN looking around for the shot tna' was
10 be heard round the word lie went
on seriously however, In speaking OF the
Presidents message and Its attendant re-
suits: Il do not to discuss this matter see
that the question has been brought up in the senate
and It will doubtless be dealt with according 10 It's
merits. 1t is serious matter-one OF the mos Sc,
rious that has arisen since the Civil War anc sAouu
ha dea.t wit hastily. It's too cary TOT Voun-
teers 10 fight yet but think that the patriotism
that has been displayed is encouraging sign OF
the Nations strength and the loyalty OF Its peope
HEARTY SUPPORT FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Bradley b. Sma.ley. OF Vermont. member OF the
Democratic National Committee warm personal
friend of President Cleveland. was in the corrdo' OF
the Fifth Avenue Hote yesterday He heartily sup
ports the President. and said: England might win
from US the seas. but think we would cut hola
in her commerce before 1t was all ended She has
too much al stake to risk encounter with us
To begin with would c.inch and hold every foo;
Of English ground upon the hemisphere just
ss soon as the first gun fired. We would SIM
ply have dress parade in Canada. and take the
place for ourselves The Notifications OF Moptrea
and Quebec amount 20 nothing. and Canada would
be taken easily don't think that there is going to
be a war but II there y. when it is ended England
vii be minus every FOO, Of ground that she once
owned in this hemisphere except Demerara, which
Is far south for bother about"
The Second Assistant Postmaster General Charles
Nelson. was at the Hoffman House yesterday. He
Is here upon business relating to the Posoffice De-
partment. and was not inclined to talk politics.
When asked about the message of President Cleve
land, he replied: 1T seems to be just what the
people wanted and the tenor Of 1t leaves no doubt
that the foreign policy of the Government is
10 be strong and unylelding upon this point. The
Monroe Doctrine has been enunciated and upheld
by President Cleveland in this message In way
that other President has ever handled It, There
IS 10 be going back. Our rights will be main
tanned"
MR.. DICKINsON's IDEAS.
Ex-Postmas.er General Don NJ. Dickinson came
TO the city yesterday. He is here TO attend the
American Commerce dinner. He had little TO
when at the hotel. but wore a smile that sug
gested the "I-told-y ou-so" phrase. Long ago Mr..
Dickinson said that Mr.. Cleveland's foreign policy
would not be weak always He said: president
Cleveland has taken the matter as he found II and
dealt with 1t accordingly. He has been strong and
firm. He has struck the American people favorably,
and 1t is only right that he should receive the
hearty support that ne has In the matter do
not anticipate a war. but think that the develop
ments Of a grave nature. Too much care and
too much dlspassonate consideration of the ques-
ton cannot be taken In settling matter so grave.
The loyalty and patriotism of the people
questioned With this loyalty and patriotism, it
would be source OF regret to make blunder in
handling the question ! do not think that any

William c. Whitney, ex-Secretary Of the Navy,

speaking OF the Presidents MESSAGE: at strikes
for believe that actual connct is a long way off.
The Monroe Doctrine is a part OF our Nation and

set It's provisions forth in no uncertain tones and
keep our hands of OF Europe and Europe's troubles
upon the condition that Europe shall leave us alone
