PARIS, Dec. 19.--All the newspa-
pers, which comment to-day upon
President Cleveland's message and
the subsequent action OF the United
States Congress, support the stand
taken by Great Britain and protest
that Monroeism is not, and cannot be,
a principal of international law.
The Figaro asks @Why should the
United States refuse the other powers
the right of defending their interests
in America, when they themselves in
terfered i'll Turkey without anyone
thinking of opposing them"
The Steele says: Applying the
doctrine raises an interesting question
not only for Great Britain, but for the
other European powers which ought
to unite in common defense"
The Estafette remarks: 1--WE regret
that with his reelection as an object
President Cleveland has chosen to as
sumo a naughty and aggressive atti-
tude."
The Soleil asserts: president
Cleveland has adopted the best course
for securing his reelection" and re-
iects the suggestion that the dispute
between Great Britain and the United
States will lead to war.
The Reiair believes Great Britain
and the United States will keep the
conflict within the bounds OF di-
plomacy, adding England is right
because Monrocism is only an ingeni
Gus trick and cannot be substituted
for law"
The Gaulois states: "There will be
nc hostilities as the governments will
be more circumspect than newspa-
pers."
LONDON, Dec. 19.-In commenting
to-day upon the Venezuelan question,
the newspapers generally agree that
the situation is more serious than they
thought it yesterday. In the public
mind. also, there is a general feeling
of disappointment at the action of
Congress. The stock exchange here
and exchanges throughout the country
continue UNDER the influence of the
difficulty, but at the same time there
was no excitement. Consois declined
| Ia, foreign funds were weak, and
American and Canadian stocks lower
on continued selling.
The Pail Mall, Gazette's money ar.
ticle says: "Of course whatever
happens. America. will lose credit
over the affair. 1t is particularly in
opportune when many of her rail.
ways need money"
The afternoon papers all contain
long editorial articles on the Venezue-
Ian question, the general tenor of
their utterance being the same as
yesterday, although they all agree
that the matter is becoming much
graver.
The Globe, a newspaper supposed
to be on terms of intimacy with the
government, gives the warning that
Great Britain will remain firm saying:
"President Cleveland may appoint a
dozen commissions, but England will
remain firm in her refusal to recog-
nize them and jurisdiction OF this sort.
This is our unalterable position, be
the consequences what they may.
We will never submit to such un-
paralleled dictation."
The Globe 10 also cynical at the re-.
marks of Chauncey M. Depew, es.
pecially his references to the easy
n in which the United States
could conquer Canada. remarking:
"The overwhelming naval strength of
England would enable her to pour
troops into Canada at any sight of
danger. Small warships could be
sent TO the lakes, and Chicago, De-
troit and Buffalo would be utterly at
their mercy"
