Mr.. ooudert viii Wait Till He Is Asked.

Paris, August 1a.-In an interview this
evening with a representative of the
United Press, f. R. Coudert said he had
not received an offer of a seat on the
bench of the Supreme court OF the, United
States made vacant by the death of
Justice jackson. From incidental con-
versation it was gathered that Mr..
Coudert had some reason to expect such
AN offer and would accept it when it. was
made, but in the absence of a tangible
offer he was unwilling to say he would
accept 1T.

A Bicycle and ii Dog.

Going UP the avenue on n cable car
last night l heard two or three eXcla-
nations of wonder and surprise on the

"You can train 'em to do anything,

l looked closer and saw that q black
dog was clinging to the boys neck,
with his hind paws holding precarious-
ly on to about an inch OF the projecting
rear of the bicycle seat, while his fore
legs were over his young masters
shoulders. The car stopped to let a

Heavy Demand for Pennies.

Ever since August last there has
been an exceedingly heavy demand on
the United States Treasury for one
cent pieces. This demand is not con-
fined to any one commercial centre, but
comes alike from all sections of the
country. Treasury officials attribute
il to the growing custom in dry-goods
establishments and other business
houses of marking down prices from
round figures, which practice natur-
ally requires Il good supply Of pennies
for making change.
The Treasury Department is doing
its best to meet the demand, and Tor
the last two months the mint at Phila
deIphia has kept three presses con-
stantly in operation for the exclusive
coinage of Onc-cent pieces. The daily
OUTPUT has been 10000 pieces of the
value of 81 100. The Government APP
parently derives Il profit Of $1,000
day on this coinage. the seigniorage he
in. at the rate of nearly ~ per cent.
of the face value Of the coins. This
profit disappears. of course, when the
coins are redeemed. Ii is estimated
that there are 1So.00o.000 one cent
pieces outstanding.

as certainly and as surely as IL II were
specifically mentioned, and when the
United States is sutton before the high
tribunal that administers international
law the question to be determined Is
whether or not I'VE present claims which
the justice of that code of law can find
10 be right and valid.
Monroe Doctrine Is Jtst.
The Monroe doctrine finds its recOgni.
ton in those principles of international
law which are based upon the theory that
every nation shall have its rights pro.
tected and its just claims enforced.
OF course this Government is entirely
confident that under the sanction Of this
doctrine we have clear rights and un-
doubted claims. Nor is this ignored in
the British reply. This Government pro-
posed 10 the Government Of Great Brit
ain n resort to arbitration the proper
means of settling the question, 10 the end
that n vexatious boundary dispute be-
tween the two contestants might be de-
termined and our exact standing and rela-
ton in respect to the controversy might
be made clear.
1T Will be seen from the correspondence
herewith submitted that this proposition
has been declined by the British Govern
ment, upon grounds which under the cir
cumStances seem to me TO be far from
satisfactory.
The course to be pursued by this Gov
eminent in view of the present condition
does not appear to admit of serious doubt
Great Britain's present proposition has
never thus far been regarded as admiSSl-
bic by Venezuela, though any adjustment
of the boundary which that country may
deem for her advantage and may enter
into of her own free will cannot of course
be objected to by the United States. As
Stunning. however, that the attitude of
Venezuela will remain unchanged, the
dispute has reached such a stage as to
make it now incumbent upon the United
States to take measures to determine
with sufficient certainty for its justitica-
ton what is the true divisional line be-
tween the republic of Venezuela and
British Guiana. | suggest that the Con-
Cress make an adequate appropriation for
the expenses of Il commits sion TO be ap-
pointed by the Executive. " ho shall make
the necessary investigation and report
upon the matter with the least possible
delay.
Must Fight IF Necessary.
When such report IS made and accepted,
it will, in my opinion. be the duty OF the
United States TO resist by every means
in its power, as willful aggression up
on its rights and interests, the apprO-
priation by Great Britain of any lands,
or the exercise of governmental jurisdic
ton over any territory which, after in
vestigation. we have determined of right
belongs TO Venezuela.
In making these recommendation
am fully alive to the responsibility in
CURED and keenly realize all the con-
sequences that may follow.

same time Great Britain denies the valid
ity of the Monroe doctrine. The United
States now must take two steps, II need
be; one forthwith. President Cleveland
asks Congress to make an appropriation
for n judicial commission to investigate
On behalf of this country the merits oil
the contention concerning frontier be
tween British Guiana and Venezuela. IL
that commission shall find that Great
Britain is right in her claims the decision
to -tand and be upheld by us; if the COM
mission of the United States shall find
that Great Britain's claims are unfounded
any attempt OH the part of Great Britain
to enforce such claims by arms To be re-
sisted with arms by the United States
This is the essence OF President Cieve-
lands message.
After reviewing the early details of the
controversy and referring to Salisbury
Discrimination to admit the force or The
Monroe doctrine and resort to arbitration,
the President says:
Without attempting extended argu-
ments in reply To these positions it may
not be smiss to suggest that the doctrine
upon W Aich we stand is strong and sound
because its enforcement is important TO
our peace and safety as nation, ana Is
essential to the integrity of our free IN
.titutions and the tranquil maintenance
Of our distinctive form of government 1t
was intended to apply to every stage or
our national life and cannot become OBJ
solete while our republic endures. Ii the
balance of power is justly cause Tor
Jealous anxiety among the governments
Of the old world, an. subject for Our
absolute non-interference. none the less
is en- observance of the Monroe doctrine
Of vital concern to our people and th1.z
government
Assuming. therefore, that we may
properly insist upon this doctrine without
regarl to 1.-The state of things in which
we live" or any changed conditions here
! Or eisew here, it is not apparent why its
apnlicatio9 may not be invoked i'll the
present controversy. If European pow
| or. by an extension of its boundaries,
| takes possession of the territory of one
| of our neighboring republics against its
will and in derogation of its rights, it is
difficult to see why. to that extent such
European power does not thereby at
tempt to extend its system of government
20 that portion of this continent which is
,hus taken. This is the precise action
which President Monroe declared TO be
dangerous 10 our peace and safety, and
1t can make no difference whether the
European system is extended by an ad-
| vance of frontier or otherwise.
| Practically, the principle for which we
contend has peculiar, if not exclusive, re-
lation to the United States. 1t may not
| have been admitted in SO many words to
he code of international law, but since,
h international councils, every nation is
entitled to the rights belonging to it. if
the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine
Is something we may justly claim, it has

Crime Among Animals.

Almost every form and variety OF

animals. Cases Of theft are noticed

selves the trouble of working. attack
well-stoclicd hives in MASSES. Kill the
Sentinels and the Inhabitants. rob the
hives. and carry off the provisions.
After repeated enterprises of this de-
scriDtion they acquire 4 taste for rob
berry and violence: they recruit whole
companies which get more and more
numerous; ana finally they form regu-
lar colonies Of brigaal-bees. But it is
Il still more curious fact that these
brigand-bee> can be produced artifi-
cially by giving wOrking-bces mix
ture OF honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire :. taste for this
beverage. which has the same disas-
tr0us effects upon them rs upon men;
they become ill-di>p0Sed and irritable,
and lose all desire to work; and. fin
ally. when they begin TO feel hungry,
they attack and plumber the well-sup-
piled hives There is one variety %
hees-the Sphec0des which lives eX-
clusively upon plumber. According To
MarcIlail this variety Is formed Of
individuals Of tne IIalyeteS species,
whose organs of notification were de-
fectiye. ana which have gradually de-
veloped into 4 separate variety, living
almost exclusively by plumber. They
may thus be said TO be an example Of
innate and organic criminality among
insects. and they represent what Pro-
fcssor Iambroso calls the born Grim
inals-that is. individuals which are
led to crime by their own organic con-
Stitution.

That lovely woman ne'er deceveS
He curses cynic prods.
Alack for belle. alack for beau.
If one fine day he comes to know
The idol sometimes mods.
She may, indeed, be passing fair.
With sparkling eyes and golden hair
That charm him. What's the odds
If he should ever get hint
That lovely tresses change their tint?
All. me, the idol mods.
Again the merry maiden's feet
Look very small, divinely sweet,
In glossy leather shod.
What praise he'll lavish, goodness knows;
But if he saw her tortured toes
The idol then would nod.
For him her face is wreathed in smiles
Misogy nists would call them wiles-
There's joy where she has trod
But then one day he sees her frown,
His airy castles tumble down,
Why does the idol nod:
All, well for him who comes To think.
That life has drab as we'll pink,
That man is not god;
And happiness he'll only fad
As soon as he makes up his mind
That idols always nod.
