reason as she could make treaties with
such chiefs located to the south Of US"
Gold fields and the territory at the
mouth of the Orinoco, which was the
key to the control Of the entire central
part of VenezHels, were, Senator Nor
gan said, the things that inspired
Great Britain's course. In the inter.
view the Senator also urged that 1t
should be made part Of the foreign
policy of the United States to secure
an understanding by which we could
deal in diplomatic matters directly
with Canada and Cuba, instead of
through Great Britain and Spain.
Turning to Cuba the Senator was
asked: "Do you think Congress would
be favorable to the purchase Of Cuba
If such proposition were acceptable
to Spsin?'
81 have no right to suppose that Con-
gress would. l can only suppose that
Spain, like every other nation, will, in
the end, consult the highest interests
Of her people, and she may find it to be
patriotic duty to free herself from
the control Of Cuba, which has more
influence on politics in Spain to-day
than any local question in the king
dom. 1 do not care anything about
the acquisition Of Cuba as an addition
to our territory, but l should want it
for the military strength it would
give u.s."

objections to the United States scquir-
ing Cuba or to take any active part in
the struggle now going on in that
islandP"
''That will depend upon whether she
thinks she can make anything by it.
She would not like to do anything that
would result in an open rupture with
the United States. Great Britain is in
no position to use coercion or threats
In her policy towards the United
States. She has resorted to a very diff
ferent policy Of late years, and she now
seeks her ends by negotiation. She
has so many possessions near our coast
that war would be a great disaster to
her, because no matter how much
the commerce of our cities might be
injured by her navy, the conclusions
of that war would see Canada and the
islands off our coast in the hands of
the United States"

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS
With England and Spain Discussed by Sem
atOP Morgan.


atOr Morgan.
WASHINGTON, November 2. Sen.
stor Morgan, Of Alabama, Chairman
Of the Foreign Relations committee,
and an authority on international law,
In an interview to-day called attention
to Lord Sslisbury's claim that Great
Britain had acquired rights in the dis
puted territory adjoining Venezuela by
treaty with the native Indian tribes.
He said: "FOr the last three-quarters
Of a century Great Britain has been
forming whenever she could little by.
arrangements with Indian tribes that
had chiettains and were regularly con.
stituted into tribes. 1t was in that
way that she recognized the Mosquito
king, Clarence. Such treaties with
such people are made right in the teeth
Of the MISUNDERSTOOD and well
accepted doctrine Of Great Britain,
Germany, France, Spain and all the
American States, which is that when
scountry has acquired by contest or
discovery any territory, the Indian
tribes found therein are considered oc-
cupants at viii of the sovereign, and
are not regarded as nations having
sovereignty, such sovereignty inuring
to the nations that discovered or con-
quered the territory. A recognition of
the sovereignty of such Indian tribes
has been regarded as q breach of the
international rights of other nations.
''For this reason any claims Of Great
Britain with Venezuela based upon
private treaties with Indian chiefs are
Of no avail and should not be recog-
nized as being in conformity with in
ternationsl law. l think Great Britain
is preparing now to adjust that Vene-
zuelsan boundary question on the lines
that were surveyed by Schomburgh.

British colonists commenced moving
out to it and making settlements, and
particularly taking up gold claims,
and Venezuela, in her weakness, has
been compelled to stand by and see
that course pursued until Great Britain
sets up q claim similar to that Of man
who has occupied for a number Of
years territory belonging to someone
else.
"I would suppose that unless Great
Britain moves to the north and west
ward Of the SchOmburgh line it is
hardly probable that the United States
can be involved in the controversy,
but If she is ever involved in such a
controversy the British government
ought to be compelled to sVow or dis
svow the dependence Of various petty
charges.

Salem, Mass. This historical old town
hasn't the modern accommodations for so
large a collection and they are not kept in
a manner calculated to display their value
Prof. Norton of Cincinnati is a member of
this society, and he suggested to the board
that it might be worth while to make an
effort to secure the library for Cincinnati.
The board authorized Mr.. Norton to make
the arrangements, and he will now do his
utmost to secure the prize for Cincinnati.
