among the governments of the old

observance Of Ethe Monroe doctrine Of

This is the precise action which Presi-

our peace and safety and it can make
no difference whether the European
system is extended by an advance of
frontier or Other wise.
ut is also suggested in the British
reply that We should not seek to apply
the Monroe doctrine to the pending

any principle of international law

4 WAR WITH ENGLAND
The President Sends q Message
to Congress On the vcne-
zuelan Question.
sUsTAINs MONROE DOCTRINE
The Message Creates q Sensation
Members Of All Parties
Pleased.

WASHINGTON Especial. Tho presi-
dent has cent to congress Great
Britain's reply to the note Of the
UnitedBtates asking that the boundary
dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela be submitted to arbitration,
together with special message on the
subject.
The message created real sensation
in Washington. Although the nature
of Olney's vigorous communication
and Of Salisbury's answer had been al
ready accurately foretold in dispatches
from Washington and London, there
was still great popular craving to
learn just how the president would
deal with Salisbury's refusal to submit
the matter to arbitration, and the
message was listened to with interest
in congress and read with aviGity on
the streets. Nowhere was there q
voice lifted in dissent from the doc
trine SO firmly laid down by the presi-
dent.
In the dignifled senate, body that
rarely exhibits emotion on any COCA
sion, there was witnessed the unparal-
led spectacle of hand -clapplng and ap-
plause, which was spontaneous ex-
preston of approval from almost every,
senator, without regard to party.
On the street, the message was dis
cussed, and old veterans Of the late
war talked exultantly of what they
were prepared again to undertake at
the call Of their country.
At the white house messages poured
In from every quarter of the country
congratulating the president upon the
message. They came from men of all
parties and stations in life.
The message says:
1.-THE reply is embodied in two COM
munications addressed by the British
prime minister to the British ambassa-
dor at this capital. It will be seen
that one of these is devoted exclusively
to observations upon the Monroe doc
trine and claims in the present instance
that new strange extention and de-
velopment of that doctrine Is insisted
on by the United States, that the rea-
sons justifying the appeal to the doc
trine enunciated by President Monroe
are inapplicable TO the state of things
in which we live at the present day, es-
pecially to the controversy involving
