WAR CLOUDS.
yhe Monroe Doctrine Must BIO Enforced

* WASHINGTON, December 17.-To-day
the Venezuelan correspondence was sent
10 Congress and with it was a message
from the President.
The message, voicing as it does the
well-known Intentions Of the Monroe
doctrine was received with applause. 1t
Is straightforward statement Of the facts
and If Congress stands upon 1t, In case
the proposed commission finds in Vene-
zuela's favor, England must back down
or war is inevitable.
The following is the message in full:
To the Congress-In my annual mes
sage addressed to the Congress on the Sd
instant called attention to the pending
boundary controversy between Great
Britain and the republic Of Venezuela,
and recited the substance of representa-
ton made by this government to her Bri-
tanio majesty's government suggesting
reasons why such dispute should be sub
mitted to arbitration for settlement and
inquirlng. whether it would be so sub
mitted.
The answer Of the British government,
which was then awaited, has since been
received, and together with the dispatch
to.which it Is q reply, is hereby append
ed.
Such reply is embodied in two com.
munications addressed by the British
prime minister to Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British ambassador at this capital. It
viii be seen that one of these conmuni-
cations Ia devoted exclusively toobser.
vations upon the Monroe doctrine, and
claims that In the present instance new
and strange extension and development
Of this doctrine Is insisted on by the
United States; that the reasons justify
ing an appeal to the doctrine enunciated
BY President Monroe are generally inap-
pucable "to the state Of things in which
we live at the present day." and especl-
ally iuapplicabla to q controversy invOlv-
Ing the boundary line between Great
Britain and Venezuela.
Without attempting extended argu-
ment in reply to these positions, 1t may
not be amisS to suggest that the doctrine
upon which westand is strong and sound,
because its enforcement Is important to
our peace and safety as nation and is
essential to the integrity Of our free insti-
tutions and the tranquil maintenance OF
our distinctive form Of government. It
was intended 70 apply to every stage OF
our national life and cannot become OBJ
solete while, our republic endures. Ifthe
balance of power Is Justly cause for
Jealous anxiety among the governments
OF fthe old world, and subject for, our
absolute non-interference, none the less
is an observance Of the Monroe doctrine
ofvital concern to our people and their
government.
Assuming, therefore,, that we may
properly insist upon this doctrine with
ont regard to s.the state Of things In which
we live. or any changed conditions here
or elsewhere, It is not apparent why its
application; may not be invoked in the
present controversy.
TIA European power, by an extension
offs boundaries, takes possession Of the
territory OF one: of our neighboring re-
publics against Its will and In derogation
ofits rights, 1t is difficult to see why, to
that extent such European power does

HIatory Repeats Itself.

Without a doubt The Dalles beats all
rivals in the matter of runaways or acci-
dents to horses. And of late a new
feature has been added, that of drown
ing. just after dinner today Mr.. Ben
Snipes hitched his span OF mules at the
ferry landing previous to starting for
Yakima overland. One of the mules
was hitched to the buggy and the other
under the bridge. The one hitched to
the buggy became restiVe and began
pulling. The buggy was on slanting
ground and when the mule began jerk
ing, started down the hill to the river.
The weight of the vehicle was too heavy
for the mule to withstand and the
animal was pulled along. Both buggy
and mule went into the river and sunk
beneath its waters. A crowd soon
gathered and the buggy was fished out by
means of a hook and rope. The muld
was unable to swim on account of being
tied to the body and before help could
arrive was drowned.
Mr.. Snipes took his misfortue with
usual fortitude and said when hard luck
starts coming it never knows when to
stop. Mr.. Snipes had owned the mule
for four years and said it was the best
driving animal he had ever owned.
This makes the second accident of this
kind in three days within a short dis
tance of each other. However exciting
it may be to the spectators this division
il anything but pleasing to the owners OF
animals seemingly bent on suicide.
