Washington, Dee. 19.-The message
of President Cleveland to congress
transmitting the correspondence be-
tween Secretary Olney and Lord Sails
bury relative to the Venezuelan boun-
Diary dispute created a real sensation
in Washington.
Although the nature of Secretary Oh
EeS's vigorous communication and of
Lord Salisbury's answer had been al
ready accurately foretold in the AS
sociated Press dispatches from Wash
ington and London, there was still
great popular craving to learn just
how the president would deal with
Lord Salisbury's refusal to submit the
matter to arbitration, and the mes
sage was listened to with intense in
terest in congress, and was read with
ayidity on the streets. Nowhere was
there a voice lifted in dissent from
the doctrine so firmly laid down by
the president, but On the contrary,
there was an outburst Of patriotic feel
ing that must have been highly graft
flying to the chief executive. In the
dignified United States senate, body
that rarely exhibits emotion on any
| occasion, there was witnessed the un-
paralleled spectacle Of hand-clapping
and applause, which was the spon-
| taneouS expression of the approval of
almost every senator, without regard
to party. On the streets the message
was discussed and old veterans of the
late war talked of what they were
prepared again to undertake at the
call of their country. In the great hall
of the pension building the employees
gathered and sang with gusto the
"Star Spangled Banner" and MY
Country 'Tis of Thee"
At the White House messages
poured in from every quarter Of the
country, congratulating the president
upon his message.
Davis Is Pleased.
Senator Davis of Minnesota, a mem
ber of the committee on foreign rela-
tions, said: II think the president has
risen to an opportunity such as has
not been presented to any president in
many years. In language of great
dignity, power and accuracy he has
stated the Monroe doctrine as under
stood by the American people for sev-
enty years."
Senator Teller Rep)-The conclud-
ing words have an American ring.
Senator German Dem.) Ut is a war
like document; very vigorous state
ment. OF course much depends upon
what the commission which we are to
send to Venezuela shall report.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec 19.-Gov. Nc.
Kinley, having been requested by a
number of newspapers by wire to ex,
press his views on the presidents
message on the Venezuelan question
has responded as follows:
Replying to your dispatch touching
President Cleveland's message it is
my judgment that the presidents firm
and dignifed statement of the adher
! ence Of our government to the Mon
roe doctrine will command the ap
. proval of the people of Ohio. His
message enforces with strength an6
vigor the position of the United
! States in it's relations with the Euro
pean powers for more than seventy
| years. It is American in letter anG
|
ate manner upholds the honor Of the
nation and insures it's security
