Tho Daily Telegraph QiberAl) will
publish an editorial contendlnR that
America has no concern In the Vene-
zuelan dispute. The editorial goes On
TO say;
"In truth this Invention OF the Mon

no question OF territorial greed or the
imposition of European system. II
" absurd, because q statement OF an
American policy can hardly claim 10
attain the range Of u principle OF inter.
national law. BY what right does the
Washington government demand the
arbitration OF this matter, whom the
very theory which guides their inter.
ference has absolutely nothing 10 do
with the points Ia dispute? What ma
ton has ever agreed TO the Monroe
doctrine2 How often has the Washing

The Times sayf. "lt is impossible
TO disguise the difficulties that nave
arisen between Great Britain and tho
United States. President Cleveland's
message and lie reception by both
sides OF the Congress seems TO give
