liberties to exercise jurisdiction beyond
the Schomberg line, nor 10 interfere with
the proceedings of the Venezueians in the
territory outside, although pending set
tlement, Great Britain cannot recognize
these proceedings as valid or comforting
title.
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
The question, he adds, had remained in
this posi- ion ever since. Great Britain has
from the first held to this view as to the
extent of her territory, waving a portion
arbItrAte another portion, but as regards
the rest, within the Schonberg line. they
do not consider that the rights OF Great
Britain are open to question. Ii inc con-
cessions which Great Britain has been
willing to make from time to time have
diminished, it has been because she was
wiling to surrender to foreign rule control
over her subjects who have gradually
colonized the country.
The discrepancy in maps is easily ac-
counted for. and the British govern
ment cannot be held responsible for publi-
cations made without their authority.
HOPE NOT ABANDONED.
'Although the negotiations in 1890,
1891 and 1898 did not lead to any result,
her majesty's government have not aban-
doned the hope that they may be resumed
with better success and that when the in
ternal politics of Venezuela are settled on
IA more durable basis Than has lately APP
peared to be the case, her majesty's gov
eminent may be enabled TO adopt a more
moderate and cOnciliatory course in re-
gard TO this question than that of their
predecessors. Her majesty's government
is DESTROYS of being on friendly relations
with Vent Zleia and certainly have no de-
sign to seize territory that properly belongs
to her, or forcibly to extend sovereignty
over any portion of her population. They
have, on the contrary, repeatedly ex-
pressed their readiness to submit to arbi-
ration, any conflicting claims of Great
Britain and Venezuel, to large tracts of
territory which from their auriferous ma
ture are known to be of almost untold
value.
WILL NOT ARBITRATE
But they cannot consent to entertain or
to submit to The arbitration of another
power, or of foreign jurists, however emil
nent, claims based upon the extravaganza
pretensions of Spanish officials in the last
century and involving the transfer of
large nu ubers of British subjects who have
for many years enjoyed the settled
rule of British colony, to nati IN
OF different race and language, whose poll
tical system Is subject 10 frequent disturb
ances and whose institutions as yet too
often afford very inadaqu ate protection 10
life and property. No issue OF this descrip-
ton has ever been involved in-the Q,ies-
tons which Great Britain and the Uni ed
States have consented to submit to arbi -ra-
tiDn aud her inajesty's government are
convinced that in similar circumstances
the government of the Uni ed states would
be equally firm in dec lining to entertain
proposals of such a natu.e.'

New York World Dissents


New YORK. Dec. 17.-In it's editorial on
President CIeveland's Venezuelan mes
saae. thu World will say:
:, Presidents message TO congress on the
Venezuea an matter IL a serious hlunder.
1t is hlunder. bee use it is based upon a
wrong c'ncep' on; herause it is not sns-
tanned by any International law or usage
and because it places the United
States j. false position. The
president in his message, like Secretary
Olney In his dispatches, assumes that the
policy of Great Britain in VenezuelS
involves menace to this country. The
president says that the doctrine of Monroe,
upon which we stand. is strong and ,und
because its enforcement is important to
our peace and safety as nation and is
essential to the integrity of our institutions
and the tranquil maintenance Of our dis
tinctive form of government.
Are our peace and safety as a nation,
the integrity of our free insti utions. and
the tranquil maintenance of our dis
tictlve form of government" threAtened by
an extension, however unwarranted and
arbitrary, Of the English possessions in
venezuela: The preposterous nature of

Columbia, on our very border England
is not a foreign nation in this
hemisphere. Great Britain now
owns more territory on this
continent than we do. She was here before
we were a nation. If she had hostile in
tentions, which the Presidents words i'm.
pute. did she need to wait for boundary
dispute in distant Venezuela with a hybrid
rabe, to assail us or to menace our repub-
lican institutions?
The assumption is absurd. And with It
falls the structure of ponderously patriotic
rhetoric relied upon by the president.
II is grave blunder to put this govern.

CHICAGO. Dec. 17.-Local editorial COM
ments on the presidents message gener-

roe doctrine. The Times Herald Inde-
pendenO says: The nation is with the
preside 1t 1t makes no difference to us
whether or not any foreign government
may decline to admit the validity of the
Monroe doctrine. We are not capable of
the pueriiity OF eating recognition of
it as a favor. We are prepared to demon
strate its validity with the eptire strength
OF a sovereign people.
THE CHRONICLE.
The Chronicle (Dem )cratc) says: The
pre- sident's message is not only strong
appeal to American pride and patriotism
in the matter now at issue; it is clean
cut and vehement enunciation of the Mon
roe doctrine. which in his hands is vitalized
as never before since its first promulga-
ton, Great Britain must abandon its
claim to Venezuelan territor or the Amer
lean congress must relegate the MonIoe
doctrine to the limo of forgotten dreams,
or the question must be left to the dread
arbitrament OF the sword.
THE INTER-oCEAN
The Inter-Ocean (Republ'can) will say:
The message is in tone that will be pleas
ing to the coun ry. 1t insists upon the
Nal'ii'y VI tue Monroe u ctriue ana upon
its application to present conditions, and
it Gle .r'y indicates determination for its
enforcement.
THE TRIBUNE.
The Tribune (Republican) says: How
ever the boundary dispute may eventuate
the thanks of the country are due to Presi-
dent Cleveland for his vigorous, resolute,
fearless and patriotic defense of that doc
trine. In this respect he has risen to the
necessities of he situation and left no
doubt in the minds OF European politicians
where this governne ut stands on the ques-
ton. If Great Britain refuses to accept
the Monroe doctrine let her bring on her
bears.
