P0LITICALALLIANCE
Family of an-AmeriCan Repub-
lies Being Formed.
In This Way the Monroe Doctrine Is
Already Bearing Fruit.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. 2i-These are
the days of great movements in the political
world 4 Pan-American political alliance is
being formed by means Of correspondence
between a number of the principal republics
Of America. Moreover, this movement has
been under way for some time.
The meetings Of Ministers Andrade, Ro-
nero and MendOnca, representing respect
lively Venezuela, Mexico and Brazil, with
Secretary Olney was only a link in the chain.
For several weeks 9rresI ondence between
these and other American governments has
been in progress.
The proposal under consideration is the
formation OF a Pan American arbitration
board, to sit permanently and to have cog
niZance of all boundary and other disputes
arising between the republics of this hemis-
phere. II Is believed actual developments In
this direction will occur within few days.
The plan under consideration is for the as
sembling in Washington of an International
congress TO arrange the details.
1t is well understood that this arrangement,
If perfected, means much more than a mere
method of settling boundary and other dis
putes Its true significance Is an alliance for
political purposes between all the republican
states of the hemisphere, under the leader
ship OF this country. In this way the Mon
roe doctrine is already bearing fruit
The weaker American powers in whose de-
fense secOndarily because in our own de.
fense primarily, we have issued a note OF de.
tlance to Great Britain, are at this uneXpect-
ed date preparing to cluster themselves about
the American power.

BOSTON HARBOR'S DEFENSES
How people think should placed the harbor

the outer islands would take millions Of
money and years of time, but in spite of that
the plan has its advocates, who declare it
the only measure that will give the city a
reasonable degree of security from attack by
sea. The line indicating the l0-mile radius
from the state house shows that the four
outer defenses, as proposed, would come
nearly, if not quite, out to this line, and the
point to which ships could safely approach
would not bring them within Is miles of the
gilded dome on Beacon hill.
The defense system of Boston as at pre-
sent projected, Of which the works at Win
throp head are part, comprises 1872 Pinch
rifled mortars, 80 for Nabant, 80 for Deer
island 16 for Paddocks island and the re-
manning 20 to be variously placed, deter
mined later Work on these mortars is now
in progress, and those of the battery at
Winthrop head are already in place. The
guns have the same breech mechanism as the
modern heavy ordnance being constructed
for the coast defense, and differ from it only
in length. They are fred from sunken
battery at an angle of As degrees, the proiec-
tile rising high in the air. Their range is six
miles, and the weight of the projectiles is 800
pounds.
Fort Warren is now being entirely recon-
structed, the old masonry being replaced by
earthworks that will resist the heaviest shot,
and new and heavy guns are being put in
place,

The Florida Citizen says; Early last
spring rich man IN Chicago, after
earnest solicitation was induced to Of
fer sum of money for original songs
especially suited to working people
and those in the common walks of life.
Aifrst, second and third prize were Of
fered for the best songs. A smaller
prize was also offered for each song
that received honorable mention by
the committee of awards. Prizes were
also offered for the best music to ac-
company these prize songs. The con-
ditions of this award of prizes were
published in most of the papers in the
country. The songs were to be re-
ceived and passed on by the commit
tee on awards. Then they were to be
given to the press for publication.
The intention was also to publish
collection of the songs and accom-
panying music and to sell copies at
about the cost of the paper and print
ing. The supposition was that besides
the three prize songs. several hundred
would receive honorable mention, and
exert powerful influence on the peo-
pie. Some believed that a million
COPIES of the book would be disposed
of within few months. Six months
have passed since the offer OF the
prizes was made. The outcome of the
attempt TO secure a new and large
stock of songs for the people is very
dieoouraging. More than 5000 per-
sons have competed, but the commit
tee on awards finds but two compost
tions worthy of receiving prizes. The
first and second prizes have been
awarded, but the third has been with
held for the reason that no compost
ton has been found to merit its be-
stowal, Out of more than 5000 al
legged lyrical poems only two are con-
sidered of sufficient merit to publish
or set to music. None Of all the others
is regarded as worthy of honorable
mention. The two given out for pub
lication have been declined by most
newspaper editors. From this the
fact is evident that the great volume
of songs for the people will not ap-
pear.

on FOUR COUNTS.
DR.. Moore Indicted by U. S.
Grand Jury.
Charged With Abetting Lane to Mis-
apply Bank Funds.

CONCORD, y. H., Dec. 24-Dr. J. c. Moore
has been indicted by the grand jury in the
L. 5. district court on four counts charging
him with aiding and abettDg cashier Lane Of
the Merchants national bank Of Manchester
to abstract and misapply funds and credits.
DR.. Moore had been previously indicted by
the grand jury on charges of misappropriat-
ing funds Of the bank of the Commonwealth
OF Manchester. of which he was president,
and also Of signing false reports to the con-
troller OF the currency as TO the condition Of
the institution.
Under the former indictment he was ar
raigned in Portsmouth, when it was discov-
cred that there was an omission OF an unlm-
portant word in the indictment, and it was
declared defective and DR.. Moore was dis
charged. II is understood that the court can
procure new indictment to replace the one
cancelled
DR.. Moore now occupies cell in the Hills
boro county jail. under two indictments Of
the New Hampshire supreme court, charged
with a misuse of funds Of the Peoples fire
insurance company and the Derryeld saw
ings bank OF Manchester, he being the presi-
dent of both institutions. No information
could be obtained as TO when he would be
tried on the indictment found, but 1t Is
believed that he will be tried in the state
court.
Three bills returned by the grand jury
were not made public by the district
attorney. but on the authority of one of the
jurors it can be stated that the rumor that
ex-cashier Lane was indicted is untrue.
Dist. Attorney Branch stated to the jury that
he might have Lane indicted. but he did
not ask for it. He stated that Lane got
nothing, had In old age made himself poor,
and no one had suffered from his mistakes
but himself while with DR.. Moore it was diff

BOSTON HARBOR.

SeabOard in Case OF Attack,

SeabOard in Case OF Attack.
BOSTON. Dec. 2i-Boston harbor is the
most defenseless on the Atlantic seaboard
from attacks Of modern navy. Il is con-
ceded that at the present time foreign war
vessels. with the heavy guns now IN use.
could cruise around the bay out Ot range Of
all the guns on the harbor defenses, and send
as many shells into the city as pleased their
fancy.
The only modern guns mounted In Boston
harbOr at the present time are at fort Warren
and on Winthrop point where the recently
completed masked mortar battery is located.
The guns in the mortar battery are calculated
to send projectile six miles.
The government is carrying forward the
work Of building q second strong battery in
Winthrop, at Growers Bluff, and guns have
been ordered to be placed as well at Nahant,
Deer Island and Paddock 5 Island, but in the
event OF war, it is stated by persons familiar
with the subject, that these batteries would
not half meet the exigences Of the situation
when hostile feet opened fire on the city.
1t may be said that there is no possibility
that either the coast defenses or the war ships
Of our navy could prevent British fleet
from entering Broad sound, between Nahant
and Green island, and between Outer Brew
ster island and Point Alerton, and lombard
ing the city. II would be possible for war
ship to stand from 3 900 to 10000 yards from
Fort Warren, out of accurate range OF our
guns, and send proectiies into Boston. The
80 English guns have a range OF II miles.
With heavy guns on Nahant, Green Island,
Outer Brewster and Pt Allerton, the bay would
be covered at comparatively short range,
and no fleet could come near enough to the
city to do damage. To install batteries on

SAYS the Florida Citizen: Few

Says the Florida Citizen: Few peo-
pie realize the extent of the cotton
manufacturing industry of the South
ern States. In round numbers the
Southern mills now consume 1,000,-
900 bales of the staple annually, while
the Northern mills use only 1000, 600
bales. The recent investments in
manufacturing plants have been very
large, particularly in North Carolina
and South Carolina. Formerly the
cotton went to the mills; now the
mills come to the cotton. The hill
country of middle Florida should be a
good field for modern factories.

ANOTHER MESSAGE.
Venezuelan Question Overshadowed
by Financial Problem.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Dec. 2i-EXcite-
ment in Washington runs high. President
Cleyeland's latest stroke is the sending of
the financial message TO congress aud has for
the time being swept congress of its feet. aud
the leaders Of both parties in the House as
well as in the SeuA'e, do not know where
they stand Or what the next "A hours may
bring forth.
During the last four days Washington has
been in Il whirl of excitement. and the talk
of war aud patriotism with which the air has
been charged has reminded one Of the stir
ring days of thirty odd years ago.
After the senate had passed the house Nen-
ezuela commission bill, they took up the
house recess resolution, aud after amending
il so as to make the recess expire on Jan. 8,
was about ready to adjourn when word was
telephOned from the white house that the
president had an important message to
communicate to congress aud requested the
Senate to remain in session for its reception,
the House having adjourned some hours be-
fore
The few senator's who knew Of the tele-
phone message from the white house were
surprised at such an unusual communicate II
from the executive.
The reading Of the presidents message was
received with almost absolute silence. As
soon as the secretary had finished a motion
was made 10 adjourn and at once the sena-
tors left the capitol to meet one another later

ARMENIAN CAMPAIGN.
Miss Barton the Only Woman In
cluded in Red Cross Relief Party.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-Miss Clara Barton.
president of the Red Cross is making prepara-
ton for her work in Armenia in the interest
of the International Red Cross. my going
to Armenia is still on condition that the
means are forthcoming to carry on the work
she said. There will probably be need for
500, 900 to carry relief to Armenia
Miss Barton said that there would be no
woman in the relief party. Absolutely no
woman said Mr.. Pullman, the secretary of
the society. who will be member Of the ex
pedition. "A woman cannot stand the
hardships necessary But if Miss Barton
can endure it, could not another woman"
was asked.
Miss Barton has unusual powers OF en-
durance,' he replied. 'She can stand more
than most of the men. She worked for l 9
hours out OF every "A for nine months at the
time Of the hurricane and tidal wave disas-
ter on the South Carolina and Sea Island
coast in 1854. She wore out all the men.
Besides this. when she goes to Armenia it is
probable that Miss Barton will remain in
Constantinople. There will be a journey of
500 miles which must be taken on jackasses
and camels. A corps OF probably Is men will
be taken.

in the evening and try to get their bearings.
Pres Cleveland in his message asked con-
gress to remain in session instead of taking
the usual Christmas holiday recess and de-
wise some means TO protect the gold reserve.
Earlier in the day the cabinet had con-
sidered the financial situation. Secretary
Carlisle had been advised that heavy raids
would be made upon the gold reserve and
that Wall street was in an extreme panicky
condition. 1t WAS feared that gold would go
to a premium. The anticipated gold ship
ments would leave the reserve under $40 000,-
00O and with England feeling nervous over
war talk not only would our securities come
back by the ship load, which would mean a
further drain of gold. but it would be impos-
sible to float another gold loan by an inter
national agreement, as the last loan was
placed, aud without the aid OF Lombard
street the hands Of Wall street would be tied.
All these considerations influenced the
president in making another appeal TO con-
gress. He pointed out in his message that
the situation was not only "caused by our
dangerous and tatuitous financial opera
tions," but that the crisis was intensified be-
cause OF our foreign policy, and he hoped
that with congress in its present patriotic
frenzy it would be all the more willing to
quickly respond to his suggestions.

FORCED TO THE WALL.
Three New York stock Exchange
Firms Went Under the Break.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-The dealings at the
New York stock exchange were attended with
unusual excitement and prices broke badly.
Prices for Americans in London had broken
anywhere from one to four per cent. London
which has been selling our securities ever
since Pres Cleveland's message on Venezue-
Ian boundary matters was sent TO congress,
turned up again at the start with liquidating
orders and it is estimated sold about 5O,0OO
shares of various American stocks.
The firms in question, S. 5. Sands Co,
Nichols. rockingham & Co. and De Neufoille
& Co., in announcing their suspension, stated
their insolvency was due to the failure OF
their customers to respond to calls for mar
gins. The Canadian banks were among the
first to call in their loans. Borrowers were
compelled to seek elsewhere, and near the
close the Central trust company came into
the market and offered S5000,0OO, which
broke the money rate from so to go per cent
In the final dealings the rate worked back to
80 per cent.
The first failure to be announced on the
New York stock exchange was that of
Nichols, rockingham & Co. The second
failure was that of S. S. Sand & Co., 10 Wall
street. The third failure of the day was the
most important. This was the old house OF
De Neufoille & Co.. As Exchange place, the
liabilities will probably be anywhere from
$3.50 900 to $500, 900.

A BOLD STROKE.
A american Force to Land in Turkey
Work for Navy.

WASHINGTON D. c., Dec. 24-American
marines and bluejackets are to be landed on
Turkish soil. Their landing is not to be a
mere frOIic. They may have to resort to force
before they return to their ships.
The decision to land troops was the result
of conference between See. Olney, the act
ing secretary OF the navy and some of the
important bureau chiefs of the navy. 1t was
in accordance with the advice OF Minister
Terrell.
The navy department has issued the neces-
sary orders to the commander-in. chief of the
European squadron, to effect the removal of
the Americans now at Marash. The instruc-
tons have been sent to Rear Admiral Self
ridge, and it is expected that he will imme-
diately set about CARRYING them out.

TURKS MUST PAY.
Held to Account For Outragcs on
Americans in The East.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 24-The Presi-
dent has transmitted to Congress commu-
nication from Secretary Olney. on the Ar
menian outrages. in response to the resolu-
tion of the Senate. Secretary Olney states
that the number of citizens of the United
States resident in the Turkish empire is not
accurately known, but there are 172 Amer
can missionaries and dependents scattered
over Asia Minor. There are also number
OF American citizens engaged in business in
the Turkish dominions and others originally
Turkish subjects, but now naturalized clti-
zens of the United States.
He adds that while the physical safety of
the United States citizens seemed to be as
sured their property had been destroyed at
Harpoot and Marash. in the former case to
the extent of $1,000 The Turkish govern
ment had been notified that it would ''be
held responsible for the immediate and full
satisfaction of all injuries on that score"
The loss OF American property at MaraSh
had not been ascertained, but like demand
for adequate indemnity would be made as
soon as the facts were known.
