Doctrine Enunciated by

SIDED WITH THIS GOVERNMENT
Her Interests in South America Had
Been Threatened by the Holy
Alliance.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 29.-Congress.
man Money of Mississippi, member OF
| the Foreign Relations Committee of the
last Congress and the committeeman who
reported the resolution authorizing the
President to request Great Britain to arbi-
| trate the Venezuelan boundary dispute,
has prepared an elaborate history of the
Monroe doctrine and the Venezuelan ques.
ton, as he became intimately familiar
! with it on the Foreign Relations Com.
| mittee.
"The Monroe doctrine has two widely
different features, one of which only is in
volved in the Venezuelan dispute" said
Mr. Money. "In the first place. no Presi-
dent has authority to lay down funda-
mental or permanent policy of govern
ment. The constitution has placed that
power in Congress-, and Congress-, at the
time of Mr.. Monroe's seventh annual mes
| sage and on other occasions. declined to
affirm the Monroe doctrine, and two years
| later disavowed it entirely"
| Then follows the history of the doctrine,
which ne demonstrates to have been
called out by the historical Holy Alliance
| formed by the Kings of France, Austria,
Russia and Prussia, which taey proceeded
to make effective, Great Britain valnly
protesting. Eventually the alliance pro-
posed to cross the Atlantic and subjugate
every thing to Kings in the Spanish
provinces, although the United States had
recognized their independence.
Fearing for it's South American trade,
Great Britain intimated readiness to
stand by the United States in resisting the
alliance. and in this way came the protest,
not against monarchical form of gov
ernment in America, but against the al
lied powers extending their political sys-
tenn to any portion of either continent OF
America.
Mr.. Money says this boundary dispute is
$50 years old; that there never was a de-

The Man Who Had Murdered
Her Husband Meets a More
Merciful Death.
CRIME OF ENRAGED CITIZENS.
Horrible Method of Revenging the
Perfdy of a Faithless
Wife.

LEBANON, KY, Dec ga mob in
f1icted horrible vengeance upon faithless
woman and her companion last night,
when they burned Mrs. T. ]. West to
death and killed w. A. Dever, at Mrs.
Vests mouse on Cartwrights Creek on the
Springfield pike, three miles north of this
city.
The mob is said to have numb bered about
seventy-five and it was about II o'clock
when they appeared at Mrs. Vests house.
Mrs. West, Dever and his little daughter
were the only persons in the house, and
when the mob called to Dever to come out
Mrs. West and the little girl responded
but Dever remained inside. Just as Mrs.
Mrs. West reached the door several shots
were fired at her, and she ran back in the
house, but the child remained on the out
side.
The mob then fired several shots into the
house, none of which took effect, and after
several attempts to get Dever to come out
the mob fired the building.
The intense heat finally forced Dever
to run out, and, with pistol in hand, he
started for a cornfield few steps from the
house where he took shelter behind a corn
shock and was shot to death. Mrs. West
pershed in the burning house, and this
morning her remains were found in the
chimney, where she had taken refuge.
Her legs and the upper portion OF the
body were almost entirely burned off. The
girl gave the alarm this morning, but only
meager information can be gained from
her.
w. A. Dever is the man who shot and
killed I. ]. West the husband of the
burned woman, at Beaver Green, on Cart
wrights Creek, three weeks ago. Dever had
a preliminary hearing and was released on
the ground of self-defense. The killing is
thought to have bGen caused by intimacy
on the part of Dever and Vests wife.
After Dever was released he was charged
with living with the woman. 1t is said
that Dever had been warned that he would
be killed if he did not leave. He is from
Knoxville and leaves widow and several
children. Mrs. West also leaves large
family, but none were at the house at the
time of the horrible tragedy.
1t was on December that Dever killed
West. The latter and his wife had been
living apart for some time, and his wife
had instituted divorce proceedings. She
had been induced to withdraw the suit.
however. and West was on his way to
town to see about the matter, when he
saw Dever. He snapped pistol twice at
Dever after accusing him of intimacy with
Mrs. West when Dever drew his revolver
and, despite Vests plea for mercy, shot
and killed him and ran away, but returned
when the Coroner's jury returned ver-
dict OF justifable homicide. This melted
the neighbors to fury. and last nights hor-
rible work was the result.

FOUR ENGINES ATTACHED.

Baltimore and Ohio.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. GA deputy
sheriff hampered passenger traffic on the
Baltimore and OHIO Railway for a short
time yesterday by attaching four of that
company's big engines in the roundhouse
near Taylor street and the river. The
trouble was caused by the Wisconsin Gen.
tral Railroad Company, which yesterday
afternoon brought an assumpsit suit in
the Circuit Court for $4,000. The claim
includes bill for 4,3OO for labor and SER
vices and the rest is for track rent in the
Grand Central station during the months
of May and June last.
1t was nearly o'clock before Superin-
tendent Van Smith released the engines
on a 10000 bond signed by Isaac G. Lom-
bard, president Of the National Bank Of
America, and in the meantime the Walker
ton accommodation had been taken out
by freight engine. Superintendent Smith
says no demand for the sum sued for had
been made, and he cannot account for the
Wisconsin Central's action.

An Intervening Fence Prevents
the Explosive From Striking
the House.
FIVE LIVES SAVED BY CHANCE.
Discharged Employees of the Utica Mine
Believed to Have Sought
Revenge.

ANGELS CAMP, CAL, Dec. %. An
enemy or enemies of William Miller, un-
derground foreman of the Utica mine,
m made iendish attempt last night to
blow up his house with giant pow
der, and with it Miller. his wife and
daughters and a guest. That the attempt
was unsuccessful was due to the poor aim
of the man who threw the explosive at the
window of Miller's bedroom.
Miller's house is located back of the
Utica company's Office, and faces on Bush
street. Three or four sticks of giant pow
dow were wrapped in an old mining shirt,
and the assassins attempted to throw the
bundle upon the veranda in front of the
window OF the room occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Miller. About fifteen feet from the
porch there is picket fence, and the shirt
encircling the explosives struck this and
fell just inside of the yard, on line with
Milier's room.
The explosion that followed shattered
most OF the windows of the house, broke
the transom over the hall door and filled
the house with smoke. Miller seized q
gun and rushed out, but there was no one
in sight. After lighting the fuze the bomb
thrower had plenty of time to escape be.
fore the explosion occurred.
Besides Mr.. and Mrs. Miller two of
their daughters and lodger were in the
house at the time.
The nervous shock has Frustrated Mrs.
Miller Had the giant powder reached
the spot it was intended 10 reach the
house would have been wrecked, and it
would have been miraculous had its occu-
pants escaped alive. Miller is one of the
most esteemed citizens of the community,
and but one motive-revenge- have
inspired the deed. In his capacity as un-
derground foreman of the great mine the
employment and discharge of men de-
wolves upon him. In the past Iawless acts
here have demonstrated that there is a
certain foreign element in the community
that would stop at nothing to avenge a
grievance, and Miller seems to have been
the intended victim of one or more of these
malcontents.
The company's property is well pro-
tected at night by armed guards, and a
warm reception will await any one who
may hereafter approach Miller's house
after dark with felonious intent. Should
the perpetrators of this mornings crime
be apprehended Angels Camp citizens,
irrespective of nationality, would relieve
the county OF any expense in the matter.
