BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Prompt Action Decided Upon by the
Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 1.-THE
mere question of the adoption of the re-
port of the Senate committee did not con-
sumo the two hours during which the Re-
publicans Of the Senate were behind closed
doors this afternoon. They were occupied
with something of vastly more Importance
to the whole American people. The Presi-
dents message was up for consideration
and there proved to be an absolute unan-
unity of sentiment among them on the
question of indorsing the President in the
stand he had taken.
The discussion was precipitated by the
motion of Lodge, that the chairman of the
committee be requested to confer with
German with a view to having the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations recognized
before the holiday recess, so that the mat
tiers set out in the Presidents message
might be considered by that committee,
the urgency of the situation having been
recognized when Mr.. Morgan, earlier in
the day, asked and obtained leave for the
committee to sit during the recess.
Speeches were made by Lodge, Frye,
Chandler and several other Senator'S, and
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-18

every one of them breathed the utmost
loyalty to the President in the stand he
had taken. The fact was called to the at
tention of the Republicans that they had
been haunting the President with being
away on duck-hunting trip while matters
of the greatest moment were transporting (;
that Secretary Carlisle had been criticized
for not sending in his annual report as re-
quired by law; that the general policy of
the administration has been denounced es
un-American and weak, and that now the
President had returned and almost in
stantly laid before the Senate message
full of sentiments that must be Endorsed
by every patriotic man in the whole coun-
try regardless of politics or party.
If England was to be impressed with the
fact that this country Endorsed its Presi-
dent; if that Government was to under
stand that this message was not cam
paign letter intended for mere political eff
feet the Senate must take the m after up
and proceed with it with all possible speed
consistent with the vital Importance of the
subject. The argument was made that it
would not do for this message to be fol-
lowed by an absolute Abandonment of all
the work; the country and England
should know that the Senate took the mes
sage as serious thing, Involving matters
of such vast importance and so porten-
tous in the results that may grow there
from, that the duly constituted commit
tees of Congress proposed to be constantly
on duty and always ready to hold up the
hands of the Chief Magistrate.
Such is brief outline of the sentiments
expressed at this caucus. The war spirit
is abroad so far as the Republicans are
concerned, and some of the speeches made
behind the closed doors OF the marble
chamber would make the most interesting
reading that has gone from this city for
weeks. So imbued were the Republicans
with the Importance of the situation and
the need Of further conference that the
matter will be again discussed at the eau
Gus which has been called for tomorrow
morning mainly for this purpose.

obvious that it will hardly be denied
Her Majesty's Government are prepared
emphatically to deny it ON behalf OF both
the British and American people who are
subject to her crown. They maintain that
the union between Great Britain and
her territories in the Western Hemisphere
is both natural and expedient. They
are not prepared to admit that
the interests of the United States
are necessarily concerned in every
frontier dispute which may arise between
any two of the states who possess domin-
ion in the Western Hemisphere; and still
less can they accept the doctrine that the
United States are entitled to claim that
the process of arbitration shall be applied

tory which one of those States may make
against another. request that you will

Lord Salisbury's second note, also OF
November 26, concludes the correspond
ence. 1t is devoted to controverting the
Venezuelan position in the boundary dis
pute. In conclusion he says, referring to
the British Government:
"They have, on the contrary, repeatedly
expressed their readiness to submit to ar
bitration the conflicting claims of Great
Britain and Venezuela to large tracts OF
territory which from their auriferous ma
ture are known to be of almost untold
value. But they cannot consent to enter
tain or to submit to arbitration OF another
power or of foreign iurists, however emf
nent, claims based on the extravaganza pre-
tensions of Spanish officials in the last
century, and involving the transfer Of
large numbers of British subjects VINO
have for many years enjoyed the settled
rule of British colony to a nation of diff
ferent race and language, whose political
system is subject to frequent disturbance.
and whose institutions as yet too often az
ford very inadequate protection to life
and property. No issue of this description
has ever been involved in the questions
which Great Britain and the United States
have consented to submit to arbitration.
and her Maiesty's Government is con-
WINGED that in similar circumstances the
Government of the United States would
be equally firm in declining to entertain
proposals of such nature"

been recommended by the representatives
of that country in London in 1898 to Lord
Rosebery. That proposition provided for
eight or ten men of the highest technical
attainments, including lawyers, to exam
inc the legal portion of the controversy,
and in case of failure of this commission
to agree that the points left disputed
would be referred to arbitration. The
Minister thinks the commission suggested
by the President could complete its labors
without going to Venezuela in few
months from material available in this

SIN the remarks which 1 have made I
have argued on the theory that the Mon
roe doctrine in itself is sound. I must not,
however, be understood as pressing any
acceptance of it on the part of her Males
tvs Government. 1t must always be
mentioned with respect, on account of the
distinguished statesman to whom It is
due and the great Nation who have gen.
orally adopted it. But international law
is founded on the general consent of ma
lions, and no statesman, however emil
nent, and no nation, however powerful
are competent to insert into the code of
international laws novel principle which
was never recognized before and which
has not since been accepted by the Gov
eminent OF any other country. The
United States have right, like any other
nation, to interpose in any controversy by
which their own interests are affected, and
they are to Judge whether these interests
are touched and in what measure they
should be sustained
'Mr. Olney quotes the case of the recent
Chilean war. in which the United States
declined to join with France and England
in an effort to bring hostilities to close,
on account of the Monroe doctrine. The
United States was entirely in the right in
declining to join in an attempt at pacifi-
cation if they thought fit, but Mr.. Olney's
principle that American questions are
for American decision,' even if it re-
ceiyed any countenance from the language
of President Monroe (Which it does not),
cannot be sustained by any reasoning
drawn from the law of nations. Mr.. Olney
says that distance and 5000 miles of in
tervening ocean make any permanent
political union between European and
an American state unnatural, and mex
pedient' will hardly be denied.
The necessary meaning of Mr.. Olney's
words is that the union between Great
Britain and Canada, between Great Britain,
Jamaica and Trinidad, between Great
Britain and British Honduras or British
Guiana are 'inexpedient and unnatural
President Monroe disclaims any such in
ference from his doctrine, but in this, as in
other respects, Mr.. Olney develops it. He
lays down that the inexpedient and I'M
