One Paper Suggests a Vote of Censure
Against Salisbury.

Against Salisbury.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 21.-The
Novoe Vremya says: ''If it comes to
q war between Great Britain and the
United States the former will have to
encounter internal as well as foreign
foes, for the Irish are not likely to
look on passively at such conflict.
In that event England's affairs in Tur-
key and the far East will not wear so
favorable an aspect, and there would
come the hour of bitter retribution
for the past upon which Englishmen
pride themselves, forgetting that sue
cess gained by guilt and force are
never enduring
The Boerse Gazette remarks: ''The
one honorable means for England to
extricate herself from this affair is
vote of censure against the Marquis of
Salisbury, and a new Cabinet might be
able to rectify the blunders of it's pred
eceSSOrs.
Rio JANEIRo, Dec. 2i.-The Brazilian
Senate and Chamber of Deputies have

DAY OF EXCITEMENT.
EVENTS MOVED WITH RAP
IDITY IN ASHINGTON.
Two Cabinet Sessions Held, Unprecedented
I'm Recent Years-Senate Passes the
Venezuela Commission Bill Unanimous
Iy-Notable Speeches Made.

WASHINGTON, Dec. q. - Yesterday
in Washington. Events moved with
rapidity, and when the sun went
down public men in all branches of
the service were nervous and worn
out from the tension. Reports came of
a decline of securities throughout the
country, and here in Washington af-
fairs moved with the rapid pace of a
kaleidoscope. The House Venezuelan
commission bill was amended in ma
terial respects by the Senate foreign
relation committee, and then by sud-
den change in sentiment in the Senate
was passed unanimously just as it
came from the House; then an adjourn
ment resolution from yesterday over
the holidays was passed by the Senate,
only to be followed by an urgent mes
sage from the President strongly adj
vising prompt action for the reform Of
our currency system and the mainten-
ance of public credit.
At the other end of the avenue the
President and his Cabinet received
eprompt advices of the course of events
here and on the public exchanges.
The Cabinet sat two sessions, some
thing without precedent in recent
years. The financial situation was
the principal topic of consideration,
and the result of the meeting was re-
vealed in the message sent to the SEN
ate late IN the afternoon, that body
being kept N session by request from
the White House for it's reception.

THE MoNRoEDocfRINE.
Preside6t Cleveland's Venezuelan Meas
age to Congress.

age to Congress.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.-Soon after
both houses of Congress met yesterday,
the President sent, by Executive Clerk
Pruden, the expected message in re-
gard to the British-Venezuelan COM
plication. It was at once read in both
houses, as follows:
To the Congress: In my annual
message, addressed to the Congress on
the Sd inst, called attention to the
tween Great Britain and the Republi
of Venezuela, and recited the sub
stance OF a representation made by
this government to Her Britannia
Majesty's government suggesting rea-
sons why such dispute should be SUBJ
mitted to- arbitration for settlement
and inquring whether 1t would be so
su bmitted.
Lord Salisbury declines to submit
the matter to arbitration and repudl-
ates the applicability of the Monroe
doctrine to the question. 9
The course to be pursued by this
government in view of the present
condition does not appear to admit of
serious doubt. Having labored faith
fully for many years to induce Great
Britain to submit this dispute to inn
partial arbitration, and having been
now finally apprised of her refusal to
do so, nothing remains but to accept
the situation, to recognize it's plain re-
qulrements and deal with it accord
ingly.
In order that such an examination
should be prosecuted in thorough
and satisfactory manner, I suggest
that Congress make adequate appro-
priation for the expenses of a commits
sion to be appointed by the Executive,
who shall make the necessary investi-
cation and report upon the matter with
the least possible delay. When such re-
port is made and accepted, it will, in my
opinion, be the duty of the United
power as willful aggression upon its
rights and interests, the appropriation
by Great Britain of any lands or the
exercise of government jurisdiction
over any territory which, after in
vestigation, we have determined of
right belonging to Venezuela.
In making these concentrations l
am fully alive to the responsibility in
CURED and keenly realize all the con-
nevertheless firm in my conviction
that while it IS a greyious thing to
contemplate the two great English
speaking people of the world
as being otherwise than friendly
competitors in the onward march
of civilization and strenuous and
worthy rivals in all the arts OF
| peace, there is no calamity which a
great nation can invite which equals
that which follows a supine submis-
sion to wrong and injustice and the
| consequent loss of national self re-
spect and honor, beneath which is
! shielded and defended a peoples safety

Terrible Coal Mine Disaster in North
Carolira-Fire Damp Explosion.

Terrible Coal Mine Disaster In North
Carolitse-Fire Damp Explosion.
RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 21.-At3 O'Clock
yesterday morning, shortly after the
day force, numbering sixty-seven men,
had gone on duty at the Cumnock coal
mines, six miles west of here, a ter
rible fire damp explosion occurred,
with fatal effects.
After considerable delay the search
ing party entered slope No, i, where
they were greeted by a most horrible
and CHASTITY sight. Dead men, fear
fully mutilated, were found, some of
them partly covered with pieces of
coal, timber and other debris. The
searching party came mp and reported
what they had found, At o'clock
ten or twelve miners went down to
bring up the dead bodies, but at last
accounts none of the dead had been
recovered. It is believed fairly three
men were killed.

In the Senate.

Dec. 0.-The Senate. by unanimous vote and
without the formaiity of roll call, passed the
bill already adopted by the House of Repr esen-
tatives empowering the president to appoint
commission to determine the Vene uela-Brit-
ish Guiana boundary. This actor was tn cub
minatioa of debate adding a memor a BILE page
to Congressional history. 1t was day of nota-
BILE speeches by nota BILE men. The subject
of war between the Unitet States and
Great Britain was the prevailing theme,
which found expression 81 lofty, patriotic SEN
timents, in stirring appeals for pfepa ration and
defense, in grauhic portrayals of the horrors of
war, and at times, in defiant warnings to the
people across the water. The most notable
utterances of the day those of Senators
Sherman, Teller, Mills, Lodge, Platt, Turpie
Chandler, White, Gallery, Call and Stewart
representing the three shades of political SEN
timent and yet n the main uniform in urging
the support of the president, vigorous: as
sertion of the Monroe doctrine, and, if
need be. am action essential to maintain
the national dignity. There were strong exc
pressions, also. against tho panic in American
stocks and securities, which it was said the
London commercial houses were seekin to
bring about Throughout the debate there was
undercurrent of feeling that while the coun-
try would not shrink from war. if it must come,
ret such calamity not imminent.

of war between Great Britain ana the
United States Canada could in twenty
four hours put 10000 fully equipped
men into the field and hold any force
