more effective. The huge chess boa d,
measuring about 40 feet square, was laid

and white squares marked out exactly as
the game requires. In place of pawns
there were foot soldiers, in historically
correct costumes Indeed the costuming
was quite an item, and the kings and
queens even wore historical masks, to
emphasize the roles they played The
knights and the pages, who lead their
orses, were particularly remarkable for
he gOrgeousness of their apparel EN-
batted war chariots adorned with ban

on fine horses, were attended by a body

GREAT BRITAIN'S SIDE
Lord Salisbury'S Reply to Sec
retary 0lney.
Says Monroe Doctrine Not a Prin-
ciple of International Law
Arbitration Has Defects.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Britt h side OF
the dispute ois embodied in two notes
from Lord Salisbury to Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. Both notes are dated the same day
and the former, which the ambassador Is
directed to communicate to Secretary Oh
ney, is Of the highest Importance, as In II
Lord Salisbury goes broadly into the Mon
roe doctrine. Lord Salisbury's answer,
dated July 25th, says
THE Monroe doctrine has undergone
notable development since its enuncia-
tlon by President Monroe, which had
originally received the entire sympathy
of the English government The dispute
over the boundary has nothing to do with
any question dealt with by Monroe The
latter did not claim for the United States
the novel prerogatives Of settling frontier
differences of this kind, nor did he seek
to establish a protectorate over Mexico
or the central American states. II the
United States will not control the conduct
of these communities, II cannot undertake
to protect them from the consequences
attaching to misconduct. Arbitration is
not free from defects and the claim of a
third nation TO impose II on two interested
nations cannot be reasonably justified and
has no foundation In the law OF nations.
International law being founded on the
General consent OF nations no statesman
and no nation, however powerful, can
inject novel principle, not acceptable to
any other government, and Secretary Oh
ney's principle, that American questions
are for American declsion,' (unsusta'ned|
by Monroe) cannot be sustained by inter-
national law Monroe's language was
never admitter to be international law,
and the danger OF such an admission Is
shown by the strange development which
the doctrine has received at Secretary Oh
ney's hands,
In conclusion Lord Salisbury says he
hopes the difficulty, made more difficult
~ Venezuela's inconslderate action in
breaking diplomatic relations, will be
adjusted by reasonable arrangements at
an early date
Lord salisbury's second note. dated also
July rs. deals entirely with the boundary
dispute on its merits. 1t began with the
ftatement that Great Britain does not
recognize that any other country has a
material interest In the controversy vet
makes the statement In this fashion, be-
cause owing to the rupture OF diplomatic
relations, II Is not otherwise possible to
II to the Venezuelan govern
ment. Salisbury asserts that Secretary
Olney, acting on the ex parte presentation
II the case by Venezuela, has fallen into
such misrcprehenslon.

of Dennis Davis, charged with murder
and tried and sentenced in the United

Arkansas, in which the defense had been

upon the defense to establish the fact of
insanity to secure a conviction upon this
charge, but this ruling was reversed, the
court laying down the principe that the

livering this opinion Justice Harlan eau

GENERAL STRIKE, DECLARED.
All Building Trades Of Now York and

All Building Trades Of Now York and
''' Brooklyn Involved.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-The labor situ-
alton, involved in the the strike OF the
electrical workers declared on Monday,
has assumed a grave aspect. The threat
of calling general strike in the build
ing trades was in part carried out when
$50 men, employed on two Of the big
yest building enterprises in the city,
threw down their tools. At p. M, at
a conference of the state committee and
the board Of walking delegates, a gen.
eral strike Of the building trades in this
city and Brooklyn will be declared,
- stopping tho Construction
Of 81 large buildings and innumerable
small ones and throwing out OF work, at
very conservative estimate, 10000
men. The loss involved in such strike
as this. at the height of the building
season, can scarcely be estimated. The
walking delegates threaten to extend
the strike still further if the 8-hour de-
mand is not conceded.
