(From our regular Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Oc.. 9, 1895. Secretary Olney has, according to one of his talkative friends, sent an ultima tum, not to England but to Mir. Cleve-
 land. And that is why MT. Olnsy went
 to Boston instead of accompanying Mir. Cleveland 10 Atlanta. The foreign
 policy of the administration is at the
 bottom of the trouble. Mir. Cleveland has been some what displsased ever since the friends of Secretary Olney caused it to be widely published that MT. Olney had declined to become secretary of state until assured that he would be allowed to insugurste a more vigorous foreign policy, particularly as to the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, than had prevailed under the late Sec retary Gresham, and he has given indic- gtions Of disposition to repudlate the stand in favor of the Monroe doctrine which Secretary Olney has taken in his accommodations to the British govern ment concening the Venezuela boundery dispute. This made Secretary Olney mad, and, ofter Intellectually trying to get MT. Cleveland to say that the Mon- roe doctrine should be lived up to be the British in their dealings with Venezuela be presented his ultim alum to MT Cleye- land. The su distance of that ultima tum, according to the aforesaid talk ative friend of Secretary Olney, is that MT. Cleveland IS given his choise be- tween backing up the policy in favor of the Monroe doctrine, which has been very clearly ou timed ID Secretary Olney's di-patches to the British foreign office, and of accepting the resignation of Sec retary Olney. It IS not probable that anything decisive will be made public until after the state elections, but the impression is strong in Washington that what Great Britain was allowed to do to Nicaragua she will be allowed to do to Venezuela-compel compliance with her demands-w without regard to the
 Monroe doctrine.
 Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who has
 been in Washington for a few days, said just before returning home: "There IS no question about the sentiment in con- eress being in favor of upholdinR the
 Monroe doctrine. It is right doctrine and should be uphelc. I presume the doctrine will be declared in some more or less formal manner by congress and if the situation demands that anything
 be done to enforce its observance con- gress. l think, can be depended upon to act promptly. Great Britain does not seem to care very much for our opin-
 ions or our wishes and We must main tain our own dignity and uphold our rights. It looks as if most of the fer eign powers had begun to feel that the United States is getting too powerful to maintain the old attitude of indiffer- ence towards the affairs of the world, and as if they saw in our increasing strength some imagined danger to them selves They seem to be bridling up and display ing disposition to press US back,
 forestalling any possible aggressiveness on our part"
 Secretary Carlisle has ordered that no more silver dollars be coined, and that the United States mlnt at New Orleans be closed entirely and the employees be definitely furloughed without pay.
 Those who claim to enjoy the confidence of the administration say that no more
 silver will be coined, unless congress shall order if, and that the San Francis-
 cisco and Philadelphia hints will work exclusively on gold. The silver men charge that this IS intended by the Bd- mipIstration as another blow at the
 white metal, and they say the matter
 will be heard from as soon as congress
 meets, and that it IS likely to make new | trouble for the administrator.
