IoNROE DOCTRINE IDEAS.
Resolutions on the Turkish Situ-
atiOn-A Call for the COrre-
spOndence.

dte worked today While the house en-
Joyed recess, but most of the busi-
ness transacted was of a routine
character. Mr.. Hoar showed the dis
position toward cooperation with
the president in dealing with the
Turkish question by Offering a res
olutlon denOuncing the recent afro
cities in Turkey and assuring the eX-
ecutiVe branch a cordial Endorsement
by congress of a vigorous course for
the protection of American citizens
in Turkey and the suppression of
barbarities against Christianity. Mr.
Hoar did not ask immediate action
on the resolution, but he secured
the adoption of another resolution
requesting the president to submit
to the senate all the correspondence
relating to Turkey. The resolution
makes special inquiry as to what
American consuls are absent from
their posts by reason of the disor-
der prevailing. The first formal
speech of the session was made by
Mr.. Allen Pop., Neb) on Cuba and
the Monroe doctrine. The influx Of
bills continued, several hundred be-
ing added to those already intro
duced.
The last move in the Delaware
contested senatorship was made
when Mr.. Mitchell, of Oregon, pre-
sented a letter and accompanying
records to the senate from H. A.
Dupont, claiming the right to be ad-
mitted as a senator from Delaware.
Delaware's Democratic senator, Mr.
Gray, thereupon did the courteous
act of moving that the privileges
of the floor be given his Repub-
lican quasi-colleague, pending deter
mination of his case, and Mr.. Du-
pont was brought in and introduced
to the senators.
Mr.. Chandler Rep., N. H.) pre-
'sented a mass of petitions alleging
election frauds in Alabama and
claiming the election as goveE.or
Of Reuben f. Kolb.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Several petitions for the recog-
hltAOil VI IIlS SuOdll SCAI0 WSlC
offered, and Mr.. Squire (Rep.. Wash.)
in introducing bill for fortifications
of Atlantic, Pacific and lake ports,
said the senate was being asked to
extend recognition to Cuban bellig-
erents and to firmly reassert the
Monroe doctrine.
I'VE are talking of these matters
as though we had a chip on our
shoulders" he added, "and we go
along in blissful ignorance of mac
ton as to the unfortified condition
Of our ports"
Mr.. Hoar (Rep., Mass.) offered the
following:
Resolved, That the senate will
support the president in the most
vigorous action he may deem fit to
take for the protection and security
of American citizens in Turkey,
and to obtain redress for injuries
committed upon such citizens there.
Resolved, That the president be
desired to make known to the gov
ernment of Turkey the strong feel
ing of regret and indignation with
which the people of America have
heard of the injuries inflicted upon
persons of the Christian faith in
Turkey, and that the American peo-
pie cannot be expected to view with
Indifference any repetition or con-
tinuance of such wrongs"
The resolution went to the COM
mittee on foreign relations. Another
resolution by Mr.. Hoar, requesting
information from the president as to
the correspondence with Turkey, was
passed.
The Allen resolution of yesterday,
defining our foreign policy, was TAX
en- up and Mr.. Allen urged the rec
ognition of the revolutionists and
the annexation of Cuba. He de-
clared that the foreign policy of the
United States had been a hiss and
a by-word for the last twenty-five
years. He specified the inaction in
the cases of Mrs. Maybrick and eX-
Consul Waller. The senator strongly
urged the reassertion of the Monroe
doctrine, so broadened as to secure
the ultimate withdrawal of monarch
ical dependencies from this continent.
The resolution was temporarily laid
aside, and the senate, after a ten
minute executive session, adjourned
at 1:25 p. m.
