INTERNATIONAL LAWYERS VIEW.

Il All Wrong.

Prof. woolsey. Of Yale, Says the President
Il All Wrong.
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 10 Professor Theo-
dore :. WOolsey, who holds the chair of in
ternational law In the Yale law school,
speaking Of the presidents message on the
Venezuela dispute, said: 1.-THE president
has been ill-advised. When he says that
the dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela is dangerous to our national
safety he says that which every body knows
to be ridiculous. The president emphasizes
unduly single phrase Of the Monroe doc
trine, without taking into account 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 inapplicable, and
the question should be argued ON grounds
Of national policy.
"The president finds his offer Of arbitra-
tion declined. He now announces himself
as q mediator. But the mediator known
to international law must be accepted by
both parties. who arc also both free to re-
ject his decision. In this case neither
party made the president . mediator, and
he announces his intention to enforce q
decision. He ID therefore not mediator.
but dictator. Compulsory mediation in
this case 10 - much out Of place a. would
have been . similar proposition in our
northwest and northeast boundary dis
putcs." Professor Woolsey said he re-
garacd England's refusal Of arbitration in
the matter - . mistake.
Opinious Of Another Professor.
Boston, Dec IA. H. Beale, Jr, pro.
fessor Of international law at Harvard,
says IL ID erroneous to believe that the
presidents assertions In the Venezuelan
question are justified by international
Law. They are merely an Affirmation Of .
national policy. As to the enforcement OF
the doctrine BY this government "by
every means in its power" Professor
Beale says: Force Is the only tribuna al
-t>ich can pass on the question, it being
admitted that no principle Of information
al law is involved
Professor Bcale referred to the fact that
| the Monroe doctrine, adopted by this coun-
try ut the suggestion Of England to thwart
the designs Of the holy alliance" pleased
England then, but In the present case tbs
bot appears % be on the other leg. When
asked TO cite precedent, II any existed,
for President ClevelAnd's action, Professor
beale referred to the coutroversy between

How to Roast the succulent oy,s.r.

Select large oysters and have them
scrubbed thoroughly. then place them in
the oven in q large tin with the round

CoNsrANTINOPLE, Dec. ly-The emhas

recognized ON all sides here that in
view of the intolsEable state Of affairs prs.
vailing in certain parts Of Asiatic Turkey
the powers cannot much longer remain in.
active. This view II based upon the the
ory that although the disorders may b
suppressed the powers will be compelled
to intervene in order to secure the pun
nishnent of those who have been guilty OF
massacreing the Christians.
1t is believed that no effective measures
for the alleviation of. prevailing distress,
or calculatad to quell the growing discon.
tent Of the Turkish subjects of tho sultan
will be taken until the powers intervene
actively in the administration of the em.
pire. This feeling Of discomfort ID un.
doubtedly growing in intensity, and
spreading to nearly all parts Of the sui.
tan's domains. Tho events of the past
year or SO :seem to have opened the eyes
Of even the old Turks to the weakness of
the sultan's rule.
As day after day passes and there Il no
news OF any importance direct from lei.
toun the feeling Of anxiety as to the fate
of the Armenians who are holding that
town against tho Turks increases, the
darkest forebodinss are heard on all sides,
and nobody here would be sstonished at
the news Of terrible massacre OF the Ar
menians Of that city. The strongest rep.
resentations have bsen made to the ports
on this subject, and the usual assurance
that the insurgents will be treated with
humanity have bosn given. lbut for all
that the worst is fanrcd

ana proceed Immediately to push her
troops into the disputed territory and Il
was asked what the United States would
do In that event-in case the question
should be still tied up in the hands Of q
commission.
There was some reference to the bill
passed In the house appropriating money
FOR the proposed commission, and the
opinion was expressed that the bill should
go to committee for amendment. The
Democratic steering committee Of the sen-
ate held its first meeting for the considera-
ton OF the Republican committee assign
ment list. Theeommittee will meet again
today. but 1t Ia not believed by any Of the
members that It will be possible to COM
plete its work before the holiday adjourn
ment.
The senate committe on foreign rela-
tions has decided to sit during the holiday
recess Tor the consideration Of the Vene.
Euelan question In its entirety. 1t Is the
Intention to take the question up in all its
phases, and to that end the committee
will have before 1t all the reports and docu-
ments bearing upon the subject. The re-
suit OF this inquiry in all probability will
be resolution defining the position of the
United states on the Venezuelan dispute,
coupled with declaration Of the Monroe
doctrine. There. is a feeling on the part
oi some Of the more extreme Republicans
that commission might delay and keep
the matter In suspense too great time.
An illustration Of the harmony on the
Venezuelan question that exists between
the two parties in congress was given in
tho house when a bill to appropriate $780,.
700 for the proposed commission came up.
Houtclle said It should go to committee;
that It was too important matter to be
settled with less examination than would
Be given to bill appfopriating q sum Of
money. He declined to object, however,
when by doing SO he could have blocked
proceedings. Hit said in effect that in
this matter congress should be unit with
che president, and without further debate
the bill passed unanimously.
