PARIS PAPERS AGAINST THIS COUNTRY

The Press Of London Bristling with In
,dignation Over the Comments Of tho
American Press Upon President Cleve-
lands Message-A General Growing and
Showing Of Teeth = Paris Papers Side
with Great MISUNDERSTANDING OF the
Navy Thonpson's sensible View.
London, Dec 9.-In commenting to-
day upon the Venezuelan question, the
newspapers generally say the situation
is more serious than they thought it
to be yesterday. In the public mind,
also, there is general feeling Of dis
appointment at the action of Congress-
in supporting the stand taken by presi-
dent Cleveland in his message to that
body.
Tho Stock Exchange here and the ex-
changes throughout the country con-
tinue under the influence of the ditii-
Guilty which has arisen between Great
Britain and the United States. AT the
same time there is no excitement.
The Pail Mall Gazette's article says:
''Of course, whatever happens, America
will lose credit over the affair. 1t is
particularly inopportune when many OF
her railways need money"
The Globe, high Conservative organ
and newspaper which may be sup
posed to bo on terms of intimacy with
the government, gives warning that
Great Britain viii! remain firm, saying:
president Cleveland may appoint
dozen commissions, but England will
remain firm in her refusal to recognize
them and any jurisdiction of this sort.
This is our unalterable position, bo the
consequences what they may. We will
never submit to such unparalleled die
tation.
The Globe is also irate at the recent
utterances of Chauncey Nj. Depew, and
especially his references to the easy
manner in which the United States
Gould conquer Canada, remarking:
.'The overwhelming naval strength of
hnglsnd would enable her to pour troops
1 lthto'Chnada at any sign of danger, and
hnall warships could DO sent TO the
lakes and Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo
would be utterly at their mercy.
The st. James Gazette says that the
Britishers were much disappointed on
reading the Americantelegrams to- day,
and expresses the fear that the Ameri-
cans will not read the diplomatic cor
respondence, or see that Lord Sails
bury is right, adding;
"We think that the American press,
with it's customary enterprise, has
given it's readers everything but the
essential facts, and the tendency of the
moment is to believe that President
Cleveland has made spirited effort to
uphold his country's honor. The
Americans, il sensible, are also senti-
mental, and would fight with all the
fierce energy of their race for prin-
ciple. We know 1t and respect them
for it. What is inconceivable is that
they can imagine there is any occasion

patches
The Pail Mall Gazette, among other
things, SAYS: "For the present it is
enough that the foremost jurists of
America unanimously condemn the
Olney doctrine, while but one single
continental journal of repute sustains
President Cleveland. "
FRENCH PAPERS SUSTAIN ENGLAND.
Paris, Dec. 9.-All the newspapers
which comment to-day upon President
Cleveland's message and the subse-
quent action of the United States Con-
gress, support the stand taken by Great
Britain in the matter, and protest that
Monroeism is not and cannot be prin-
ciple of international law.
The Figaro asks: "Why should the
United States refuse other powers the
right of defending their interests in
America, when they themselves inter
vened in Turkey without any one think
Ing Of opposing them?"
The Steele says; "Applying the doc
trine raises an interesting question, not
pnly for Great Britain but for the other
European powers which ought to unite
In common defence. "
The Estafetle remarks: eve regret
That with his recollection az an object
President Cleveland has chosen to as
! sume such naughty and aggressive
attitude. ~
The Soleil asscrts that: president
Cleveland has adopted the best course
for securing his reelection" and re-
Iects the auggestion, that the dispute
between Great Britain and the United
States will lead to war.
The Eclair believes that Great Britain
and the United States will keep the
conflict within tho bounds Of dipo.
macy, adding; England is right, be-
cause Monroeism is only an ingenious
,trick and cannot be substituted for
: law" I"
The Gauios states: ''There will he
po hostilities, as the governments will
be more circumspect than the news
papers.
