by this paper. But we desire to say
that his message of yesterday was one
of the best and one of the strongest
State papers that was ever issued in
this country under the circumstances,
and that he twisted the tail of the Brit
ish lion to the Queens taste
The Bee says: 'It is for Congress to
say whether it be wise to adopt the eX-
IRENE measure suggested by the Presi-
dent, and whether the Nation Is pre-
pared to thus invite conflict with Great
Britain. The dominant spirit in Con-
gress, as shown by the applause which
greeted the message, is in favor or a
firm stand for upholding the Monroe
doctrine, but calm elaboration may
lead to the conclusion that the country
is not ready to force hostilities with
Great Britain, the consequences of
which would be calamitous to both ma
tions. 1t is a most critical situation
calling for the exercise on the part of
the peoples representatives of the high
est wisdom and patriotism.
General Charles +. Henderson, who
was for several years a member of the
Committee on Military Affairs in the
United States Senate, said tonight that
he did not believe there would be a war,
because England could not afford to go
TO war with America. He was graft
fed with the support which the people
were giving to Cleveland, and believes
that it would be of benefit to the whole
country 1--WE are not well prepared
for war" said he, mot nearly as we'll as
we were in 1860, when we could have
conquered the world
Major T. S. Clarkson, Department
Commander of Nebraska Grand Army
of the Republic, says: Il consider the
message of the President the most loyal
and patriotic sent to Congress in years
A million old soldiers will applaud the
Presidents action"
General Coppinger refused to express
any opinion on the subject.

Speculation as to Who VIII be selected

Speculation as to Who Will be selected
as Members of 1t.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-There was
considerable speculation among mem
bers of the House to-day as to the per-
sonnet of the commission which the
President. if the bill passed by the
House becomes a law. will appoint to
investigate the divisional line between
Venezuela and British Guiana.
Had not the House adjourned at so
early an hour, it was the purpose of
Mr.. McCreary of Kentucky, who has
been three times the Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, to offer
a resolution that the number of the
commissioners shall be five; that they
shall report to the President as soon as
practicable. and they be authorized to
take whatever action may be necessary
and proper to perform the duties as
signed to them.
Already gossip is busy connecting the
name of Chief Justice Fuller of the SUI
Dreme Court ex-PreSident Harrison,
ex-senator Edmunds of Vermont and
other welI-known men with the pro-
posed commission. But meantime the
resolution has to run the gauntlet of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions. some of whose members have
manifested a disposition to load it down
with important amendments.

BY Men of the Business World at
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Merchants,
Beard of Trade members, lawyers and
prominent men of the Chicago business
world generally who were asked to-day
for an expression of opinion regarding
the message of the President to Con-
gress on the Venezuelan test Of the
Monroe doctrine, spoke approvingly of
the position taken by the Government,
and in the majority of cases INDUCED
in enthusiastic praise in spirit OF
patriotism. There were a few excep-
tions, but the criticism was actuated
by partisan feeling.
Among leading Democrats Identified
with the party management none could
be found who would say for publication
that they approved of the criticism of
the message by Governor Altgeld, and
several were outSpoken in declaring
that the Governor acted ill-adViSedly
from a party standpoint, although nom
est in his conviction. EX-Mayor Hop
kins was credited with saying privately
that the criticism would cost the Gov
ernor a denomination and retire him
politically.
P. D. Armour said: Il think it is a

matters have not reached the point
where they cannot be amicably settled,
but if there is war, l believe it would
be thoroughly justifiable on the part of
the United States. There are great
many of us Republicans who like Mr.
Cleveland"
Marshall Field said: Someone will
have to back down in this international
dispute l need not say whether it Will
be the President or Lord Salisbury, but
mark my words, somebody will back
down"
Ex- Minister Lincoln says: Lord Sal
isbury once offered to arbitrate the
question. He may be willing to do so
now"
Ex- United States Senator c. B. Far
we'll said: Il believe Lord Salisbury
should have acceded to President
Cleveland's request for arbitration. The
President has the courage of his con-
victions, and 1 believe the Monroe doc
trine should be upheld in the present
dispute. The boundary question in it
self is SO small a matter that a great
nation like England could not well af-
ford to refuse the request Of the United
States for arbitration

A STRANGER HERE
Officer Bagley Rescues a Woman FL
Dancer

officer Bagley ReScues a Woman From
Danger.
About noon yesterday Officer Bagley
had his attention called by neighbors TO q
woman in the vicinity of Sixth and l
streets, who was under the influence of
liquor and surrounded by a gang of
young hoodlums.
He found her to be respecta ble-ap-
pearing woman, who said she was u
stranger in the city. and that she had
taken some stimulants after arriving
here on a train from the mountains that
morning. She bad valise with her, and
the officer escorted her to the police sta
ton, where she was given an opportunity
to sleep Oft the effects of her touches.
Whom released in the evening she told
Sergeant PIunkett that her eleven year
old daughter had come to the city on
tuesday TO engage q room for them both,
and she did not know where the child
was. But the Sergeant was able 10 tell
her, the information having been sent in
by citizen who knew the girl was in
good hands.
But for officer Bagley's timely arrival
the woman would doubtless have been
robbed or roughly treated by toughs.

RICHMOND CVa), Dec. 1S.-It is
strong. pointed and direct, and can
leave no doubt as to his position. 1t is
characteristic of the man-courageous

be no retreat on his part. The Monroe

grandizement and aggression and the
greed and avarice of European Powers

the Record-Union. The Bank Commits
sioners have Clipped in on the same
side. There seems to be unusual inter
est in the subject. The action of the
Bank Commissioners seems to be deciS-
i've of the question if they insist that
deposits shall be sealed and SO kept.
Without use as special deposits they
would be of no service and the banks
would not care to have the money with
the responsibility for its keeping and
no benefit from it's use.
CHINESE DRIED FRUIT.
Oroville Register: The Register dur
ing the past two summers called atten-
ton several times to the filthy condi-
ton of the dried fruit put UP by Chin
csc. 1t not only injured the sale of
dried fruit put up by Cinnamon them
selves but it hurt the sale of all the
dried fruit in this part of the State.
Half a dozen or more heavy Chinese
firms in Butte, Tehama and neighbour
ing counties have lost a good deal of
money this year and as result we are
told by some of the extensive dealers
that the Chinese next year will refuse
to handle single orchard.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The Presi-

with the rank and file of the Grand

of a war with England. They snlneo
gunpowder, as it were, and all Tue

questioned on the subject, and invarl-

message of President Cleveland sent to
Congress yesterday leaves not shadow

is not often heard in high places during
these latter days, and for that reason it
will fall on the ears of the people with a
welcome sound"
