South America were nominAlly subject.
1T was not an imaginary danger that
he foresaw II he feared that the same spirit
which had dictated the French expedite
into Spain might inspire the more power
ful governments Of Europe with the idea
of imposing, by the force Of European
arms, upon the South American commun-
tiles the fern OF government and the po-
litical connection which they had thrown
of. In declaring that the United States
would resist any such enterprise II it was
contemplated, President Monroe adopted
policy which received the entire sympa-
thy OF the English government Of that
date.
1.-THE dangers which were apprehended
by president Monroe have no relation to
the state Of things in which we live at the
present day. Great Britain is imposing
no system upon Venezuela, and 10 not
concerning herself In any way with the
nature Of the political institutions under
which the Vcnezuelans may prefer to live.
But the British empire and the republic
OF Venezuela are neighbours and they have
differed for some time, aud continue to
differ as to the line by which their do
minions arc separated. 1t Is a controversy
with which the United States has no ap-
parent practical concern
His lordship argues that there is no ques-
ton involved that the Monroe doctrine
covers, and proceeds: 1.-The government of
the United States do not say that Great
Britain, or that Venezuela, is in the right
In the matters that are in issue. But they
lay down that the doctrine of President
Monroe confers upon them the right of de-
manding that when European power has
frontier difference with a South Amer
lean community the European power shall
consent to refer that controversy to arbi-
tration. Whatever may be the authority
of the doctrine laid down by President
Monroe, there is nothing in his language
to show that he ever thought of claiming
this novel prerogative for the United
States"

passed merely from sleep temporal to sleep
eternal, and the change was hardly notice
able even to the loved ones who surround

ums of knowledge he priced so dearly, and
amid the scenes where he has spent so

age, the vital spark took wings from the
image Of clay.
Judge Thurman died in his beloved Ii
brary, which looks toward the setting
sun. Shortly after his fall several weeks

Thurman since the death of his wife sew

the house he occupied apartments in the
second story of the residence, where he
spent the last days of his life. The be-

A few days after the fall Judge Thur

INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES.
Not Limited I'm an international Dispute to
the Western Hemisphere.

Not Limited I'm an international Dispute to
the Western Hemisphere.
Salisbury says that If the United States
is going to protect these South American
republics that government must necessa-
rily take upon itself the burden of con-
trolling the action Of those South Ameri-
can governments. He then states that
although the Monroe doctrine may
be sound IL Is not International
law. And In this connection
says: 'The United States have right,
like any other nation, to interpose
In any controversy by which their own in
terests are affected; and they are the judge
whether their interests are touched and
in what measure they should be sustained.
But their rights are in no way strength
ened or extended by the fact that the con-
troversy affects some territory which Is
called American.
"The government Of the United States
Is not entitled to affirm as universal
proposition with reference to number of
independent states for whose conduct 1t
assumes no responsibility, that its inter
ests are necessarily concerned in whatever
may befall those states, simply because
they are situated in the western hemis
phere 1t may we'll be that the interests
of the United States are affected by some
thing that happens to Chilli or to Peru,
and that the circumstance may give them
the right Of interference; but such..a con-
tingency may equally happen in the case
of China or Japan, and the right of inter :
ference Is not more extensive or more as
sured In the one case than in the other"
He then quotes from Olney: THAT
distance and 5000 miles of intervening
ocean make any permanent political union
between European and an American
state unnatural and inexpedient will
hardly be denied" and replies 1.-THE ne
cessary meaning of these words is that
the union between Great Britain and
Canada; between Great Britain and ia
maica and Trinidad; between Great Bri-
tain and British Honduras or British
Guiana are inexpedient and unnatural I"
He enlarges on this point at some length
and near the close says that Great Britain
is not prepared to admit that the interests
of the United States are necessarily con
cerned in every frontier dispute whioA
may arise between any two of the staees
who possess dominion in the Westetu
Hemisphere; and still less can she accspt
the doctrine that the United States nfe
entitled to claim that the process o. arbi-
tration shall be applied to any demand TO-
the surrender of territory which one OF
those states may make against another.
Salisbury closes with the statement that
his government is still hopeful of settle
ment with Venezuela at an early date.

STATEMENT OF JOHN BULLS CASE.
Facts Upon Which He Bases His Claims on
the Territory.

Facts Upon winch He Bases HIS claims on
the Territory.
With the foregoing Lord Salisbury sends
a statement of the basis of the British
claim. He says in general that for Vene-
zuela to insist on the arbitration Of the
whole territory would be paralleled by a
refusal of Great Britain to arbitrate the
Alaskan boundary line unless half of
Alaska were thrown into arbitration. He
POUNDS this general statement on the al
legged facts that Great Britain's claims are
obtained from the Dutch; that the dispute
does not date back to 1914, but to 1910;
that the difficulty would not have arisen
IL Venezuela had based her claim only on
the territory that could even reasonably
be asserted to have been in the possession
of the captain generalcy of Venezuela.
AS far back as 1859 Holland had protest
ed against Spanish incursions into that
settlement In the basin Of the Guini and
to this claim the Spanish government
never attempted to reply, the archives
showing that they had not the means to
rebuff 1t. The Venezuelan claim, he says,
Is based on the Spanish claim that any
territory to which any other government
has not deed from Spain continues Span
ish. The boundary posts placed by
SchOmDerg are on the remains OF the
Dutch fort at Point Barima, he says, and
that line was q great reduction OF the

Presidents Message Endorsed Everywhere
How They Feel I'm England.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l8-With few excep.
tions the sentiment oil over the United
States is "Arbitrate or fight" Interviews
with congressman almost unanimously
approve the presidents position and favor
standing by the same to the arbitration
of the sword" There are few dissidents,
but one, Cullom, thinks the message toe
mild-does not make the Monroe doctrine
sufficiently all-embracing The absolute
or conditional dissenters are Tillman OF
South Carolina, Elkins of West Virginia,
and Walker of Massachusetts, Hitt proba-
BILE chairman of the committee on foreign
affairs, and Payne, Of New York, possible
chairman of the ways and means commit

are the New York Post and The World.
The latter takes strong ground against
the position of the president and calls IL a
serious blunder." Resolutions adopted
by Union and Confederate veterans offer

received, while the Cleveland chamber OF
commerce has adopted resolutions approx
ing the stand taken. William T. Whit
ney and Governor Mckinley are quoted as
indorsing the message
, kilograms from London show that the
British press is equally unanimous in de-
manning that England stand to her

said in 1913 II we, as an American power,
had advanced tho claim, based on this
principle, TO protect Mexico from wanton-
ly aggressive war by which President
Cleveland's predecessors settled the Texan
boundary disputes"
The Times In another article says:
Convinced as we are that rupture be-
tween the two great English-speaking
communities would be a calamity not
only to themselves but to the civilized
world, we are nevertheless driven to the
conclusion that the concessions this coun-
try is so imperiously summoned TO make

roots in every quarter Of the globe, could
possibly submit to- The United States

ton. We are Of the same blood and shall
not be less careful of our national honor,
I'VE desire to speak with all proper re-
serve, but we can confidently predict that
Great Britain will not admit the preten-
sions put forward by President Cleveland.
