Nashville's New Paper.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 18.-The Daily Sun says: The declaration of the presl- dent in favor of the Monroe doctrine en- forcement will find an echo in the hearts of the American people. There will be no war over this matter. Rothschild will not permit his twin wards to cut each others threats. He will not loan us gold to give to our idle laborerS the congenial employment of shedding English gore England cannot afford to lose her grip on the endless chain with which she plays hide-and-seek with our gold re- serve and increases her mortgages on our posterity, for the sake of few miles of inconsequential territory in Vene- zuela.
 She has too much property in us to fight us, and we are too dependent on her for gold 10 keep up our credit under the present financial system to fight her. England will not mobilize her army, as- semi ble her ships and surround her coast with torpedoes as soon as the message is read. Venezuela need not flatter herself that she will escape, if England really cares for the strip of territory in dispute. Diplomacy is more tedious than war, but with England it is scarcely less cer- tain. It Is more polite to take thing by arbitration than it is to take it by force of arms, and it causes much less scandal. If England and the United States have not engaged in creating diversion to draw public attention from troublesome international questions, and England really wants a little slice of thR territory of Venezuela, she will probably get 1t.

THE OBTAINS REMEMBERED
NEGRO DE>s WILL BE A GREAT SUCCESS

Atlanta, Dec. 1S.-The children's Christmas festival drew great crowd of Atlanta people out to the exposition grounds today. There was float rep resenting an Arctic grotto bearing Santa Claus, with a procession of 300 school children from the fifteen public schools in costumes representing fifteen nation alities. The exercises at the auditorium included distribution of gifts to all tho orphans of the city. The afternoon closed with grand pyrotechnic display.
 The Southern railway reports large movement of Texas and Arkansas peo- pie leaving those states for the exposi- tion tomorrow and up to the 18th. These people usually take the holiday rates, but the phenomenal rates made by all southern railroads to the exposition have caught the holiday business, and the in- dicatfons are that many thousands will come to Atlanta from the west during the next ten days
 The Southern also reports that a large crowd will come over from Birmingham on Monday. The Atlanta and West Point railway is preparing to bring large crowds from Montgomery and Selma.
 Exposition directors this afternoon in- Vited the people of Birmingham, AnniS- ton, Montgomery. Mobile and Selma to
 
 and take advantage of the low rates to attend the lair en maSSe. Birmingham is already moving and will come in force on the 23rd. It is expected that the other cities will follow suit
 The committee of colored men having in charge the arrangements for negro day at the exposition, which is fixed for December 26. adopted a resolution to- day asking the colored ministers throughout the land to preach a special sermon or deliver, an address on Sunday, December 22 with reference to the negro exhibit at the Atlanta exposition and what 1t means to the race. and to urge full turn out of the colored people to witness the exhibit and exercises of that day. Among the speakers on the pro- gramme for that day are some of the best known orators of the race. Prof. R. R. Wright of the Georgia State college, one of the best known negroes in Georgia; Rev. Y. U. Browne, president of the Colored Savings bank at Richmond, Va; Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, who made the speech in the Mississippi conven- tion, are among the speakers. The ne- groes are arranging through a citizens committee for a full trun out of their race in Atlanta, and it Is safe to say that negro day will be one of the red letter days of the exposition. Commissioner I. Garland Penn is in possession of in- formation from Kentucky. Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas and Mis- sippi to the effect that large dele rates and be present.

BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
Eight Prisoners Run Over the Deputy Sheriff of Bibb-Two Escape and Six Cap
 tured-Tramp Killed.

Centreville, Dec. 18.-(Special.)-The prisoners in the county jail, eight In num- ber made rush on Deputy Sheriff La than last night as he went to let them out in the corridor to exercise. All were recap tured except white man and negro. The white mans name is Thrasher, and he is brother of Bart Thrasher who re- gently escaped from Pratt mines, and was charged with murder. One of the negroes who was recaptured was shot through the shoulder while crossing the Cahaba river at fish trap.
 A MT. Edmondson, who was assisting in recapturing the prisoners, was shot through mistake, but not seriously wounded.
 A tramp was knocked off trestle the other day by a southbound freight train and killed.

Mobile Register.

Mobile, Dec. Recommending on the presidents message to congress on the Venezuela question, the Mobile Register says: The firmness with which MT. Cleveland proclaims the American doc trine will meet with the approval of all true citizens of the republic. Our atti- tude as opposed to that assumed by Great Britain will not fail to bring about negotiations looking to a peaceful settle ment.
 We hope the gravity of the situation will cause it to be treated soberly and with wisdom. There is a great deal at stake, and especially here in the south. War, or even temporary interruption of friendly intercourse between the United States and Great Britain, means the stoppage of our cotton and timber trade with the united kingdom and serious loss to our producers, who are poorly prepared to endure it. We shall not on this account, however counsel abandon ment of the policy that has been so man. fully maintained by our democratic pres ident.

Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta, Dec. 1S-The Constitution says editorially:
 There will be no disposition, in this sec tion at least to critcse or object to the tone and spirit of MT. Clevelands mes sage with which he accompanies the cor respondence between this country and Great Britain in regard to the Venezue- Ian matter. It will doubtless prove off, fensive to the tories, whose commercial instincts have abolished all patriotic inn pulses from their minds, but the great body of the people will enthusiastically approve the firm stand MT. Cleveland has taken.
 The president says he is fully alive to the responsibilities incurred and keenly realizes all the consequences that may follow. Nevertheless, there Is no ca- lamity which a great nation can invite that equals that which follows supine submission to wrong and injustice, and the consequent loss of national self-re- spect and honor, beneath which are shielded enddefended by a peoples safety and greatness"
 To that every true American will say amen!

per those clothed by the constitution
 with this great duty. I hope therefore
 that the house will proceed to pass the
 bill without delay. l have made these
 few remarks not from any desire to de-
 bate, but merely as a suggestion by way
 of guidance to the action which believe
 we ought to take, and I hope all will
 concur. And now, MT. Speaker, unless
 there is some considerable body of gentle
 men here who desire discussion l will
 move the previous question.
 MT. Crisp of Georgia-Mr. Speaker:
 Together with all on this side of the
 house, rejoice that the gentleman from
 Illinois (Mr. HitD has been reeognlzeo
 to ask consideration of the bill which
 has just been read at the clerks desk.
 It does seem to me that there can be no
 division in this house as to the proprlety
 of the immediate passage of that bill.
 For great many years there has been
 a controversy as to the divisional line pe-
 tween the republic of Venezuela ana
 British Guiana. We respectfully invited
 Great Britain to submit the controversy
 between that government and the repub- lie of Venezuela to arbitration. Great
 Britain has declined arbitration. NOW,
 what are we to do? If the American
 people have a fixed opinion upon any
 question, it is the opinion that no Euro pean country shall be permitted to ac- quire territory on the American conti- nent by force. (Applause) Now, the question Is, what are we 10 do! mas much as Great Britain has declined ar bitration of this controversy, we are bound to ascertain, and to ascertain speedily, on which side lies the right, and that is the object of the presidents
 message and of this bill If we are not to have the assistance of Great Britain In ascertaining the facts by means of ar bitration. then we must ascertain for ourselves, and we ought to do 1t at once. The suggestion of my friend from Maine (Mr. Boutelle) to wait until committee is appointed means to wait three weeks, while we should a once authorize the ap- pointment of this commission and the payment of it's expenses, so that 1t may proceed, so that when we ascertain where the right is we have the courage and the manhood to maintain it. Qoud applause.l
 The previous question was then or dered without a dissenting vote, and the bill read a third time and passed unani- mously.
 MT. Dingley. republican, of Maine, of | fered a concurrent resolution providing | for holiday recess extending from Fri day December 20, to Friday, January 5, | 1896.
 Mr. Meredith, democrat of Virginia Before the resolution is passed l would | like to have some gentleman on the other side introduce bill to repeal the law for bidding old Confederates from serving in the army or navy. I think this would be a good time.
 | The resolution was passed. and then, at | 12:40, on motion of MT Dingley, the house adjourned until Friday.

The Enqrlirer-Sun.

Columbus, Ga, Dec. 1S.-The Enquirer Sun of today, commenting upon the presidents message, says
 The message sent to the congress yes terday by President Cleveland practical ly brings to head the issue on the Mon roe doctrine with the government of Great Britain, The president, in his com ments on the Salisbury letter, while ex- pressing an appreciation of all the re- sponsibility involved and regrettng a collision between two such friendly gov ernments took the position that in this issue the Monroe doctrine must be main tained He recommended to the con- gross the appointment of commission to make an immediate investigation of the boundary line in dispute, and if sat isfied that Great Britain is in the wrong and encroaching, or attempts to en- croach, on territory in Venezuela contra ry to the Monroe doctrine, the United States government shall resist such en- croachment with all the power and re- sources at it's command. The message was a firm, fearless and patriotic decla- ration of the great American principle involved in the Monroe doctrine and bravely urged upon the congress the im- perative duty of this government to stand by its rights with every power at its command.

5000 Miners Are Out.

Dallas, Tex, Dec 1s.-Telegrams re- ceived at the headquarters of the Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas railway in this city at noon today say every coal mine in the Indian Territory was closed by strikers today. More than 5000 men are on strike and operations are entirely stopped at Coal Gate, Lehigh, Briar Creek, Krebs, Alderson, Hartshorne and McAlester. The Missouri Kansas and Texas company has ordered that no coal be shipped out, and that stocks on hand be held for railroad use. This will cause a fuel famine throughout north and central Texas The mines involved are owned by the Osage, the Choctaw and the Atoka Coal and Mining

The New Orleans States.

New Orleans, Dec. 1S.-The Daily States says of President Cleveland s message:
 Not within thirty years has the spirit of patriotic Americans been so thorough ly reused as it was yesterday by the special message which President Cleve- land addressed to congress on the Vene- zuelan dispute It was a vigorous docu- ment and ringing declaration that the Monroe doctrine is recognized principle of this government, and its enforcement is important to our peace and safety as a nation.
 The splendid and patriotic message of the president will make him more popu- lar than he ever was with the American people. That document, which is today the sole topic of conversation in every nook and corner of the land, has given the lie to the charge that the honor of the country was not safe in his hands. It will we are sure, command the applause of the "jingo," as well as the conserva- tive.

Montgomery Advertiser.

Montgomery, Dec 1S.-The Advertiser this morning said The response from the British government has been received and yesterday President Cleveland sent a message to congress firm, but conserv- ative in tone, in which the appointment of a commission to ascertain the true boundary line in Venezuela is recom- mended, with the further statement that 1t would be the duty of this country to maintain that line when once established. This, we feel sure, will not lead to trou- ble with Great Britain, but will rather have the effect of inclining that govern ment to an arbitration of the matters in dispute.
