The Monroe Doctrine Shall be Enforced
President Cleveland sent special mes
sage to congress on Tuesday of last week
transmitting the correspondence between
Secretary Olney and Lord Salisbury rel
ative to the Venezuelan boundary dis.
pute. England refuses to a7bitrate the
question, insisting that it is none of this
country's business-or words to that ef-
feet. The president urged upon con-
grees the necessity of upholding the
Monroe doctrine and recommended an
appropriation to defray the expenses of
a committee to be appointed to make the
necessary investigation OF the matter
in dispute.
In conclusion Pr esident Cleveland
said: "When such report is made and
accepted, it will in my opinion be the
duty OF the United States to resist, by
every means in it's power, as willful az
gression upon it's rights and interests
the appropria ton by Great Britain OF
any lands or the exercise OF government.
al Jurisdiction over any territory which
after investigation, we have determined
OF right belongs to Venezuela.
I'm making these recommendations, ]
am fully alive to the responsibility in.
CURED and keenly realize all the conse.
quences that may follow. I am never.
theless firm in my conviction that, while
it is q grievous thing to contemplate the
two great English-speaking peoples OF
the world as being otherwise than friend.
~ competitors in the onward march OF
civilization, and strenuous and worthy
rivals in all the arts of peace, there is no
calamity which a great nation can invite
which equals that which follows a supire
submission to wrong and injustice, and
the consequent loss of national selt-re.
speot and honor beneath which is shield.
ed and defended q peoples safety and
greatness"
The following morning bill was ia.
:troduced IN the house providing for the
appropriation Of 100000 for the pur.
pose mentioned, and was passed withon,
a dissenting vote. After short DELHI
teration it also passed the senate by 4
unanimous vote.

amount Of the money consideration in
volEed in this single order is, of course,
not given out but it is approximately
$3,000,000. Each of these fourteen ships
is practically guaranteed to CARRY 1000
gross tons~on 16 feet draft. Some of
them will certainly carry more than that
amount, so shat on single trip of the
heet' 5000 gross tons OF ore will be
moved from Lake Superior, and a con-
fservative estimate of the capacity, of the
fleet for full season in the Lake Superior
trade Is 100000 gross tons. All of the
vessels excepting the steamer to be built
by the Cleveland Ship Building Co.,
which will be delayed on account of a
large amount of work on hand in the
yard and engine works of the company,
are to 60 into commission between the
opening of navigation and Aug. Is, next.
This big order to the ship builders
does not involve any radical departure
from the type of general freight.carrying
vessel that has developed on the lakes
during the past ten or twelve years, in
which steel has gradually replaced wood
for hulls. There will be no water tube
boilers and nothing that in any way
approaches an experiment in the ship.
In the matter of power, however, there
is a marked increase IN the steamers,
each of which will develope about 1900
horse power. In fact it would seem,
although not announced, that there is
first a guarantee of 1900 GROSS tons on
Lake superior draft in all of the vessels
and second an assurance of 1900 horse
power in the steamers, which will fit all
of them for fast towing. This amount
of power is 20 to Is per cent greater
than is applied to modern lake freight
steamers that are not intended to tow
consorts. With a view to deeper draft
upon the completion of government work
now under way throughout the lakes,
and for other reasons, these vessels will
all be very much heavier than has been
the rule in general practice on the lakes.

Steamship passengers frequently re
sort to practical jokes to relieve the mo,
notony Of voyages said a retired sea
captain yesterday, land while the
pranks, as a rule, are perfectly harmless
they sometimes have boomerang effect
Three years ago we were crossing the
Atlantic, and both the owners and my
self were exceedingly anxious to make a
speedy trip, as rival liner had the
week before lowered the record held by
our company. On the third day out just
about dusk the cry Of Man overboardv
rang through the ship, and a hurried in
vestigation elected the information that
several of the passengers had heard q
splash, followed by piteous appeals Of
Help, help! Save me!' The engines
were stopped, and the steamer put about,
close watch being kept meanwhile for
the drowning man. A half hour was
spent in cruising about without results,
and we started Oh our journey under the
belief that the poor fellow had gone to
the bottom. The inquiry that followed
proved puzzling. No one was missing,
and we came to the conclusion that a
stoWaway had committed suicide.
'The next day, however, an explana-
. ton came. We had 4 ventriloquist
aboard in the person of a very smart
young man, who was too tickled over
the success Of his joke to keep the secret.
,*'Then the laugh was on him. AS he
had caused q serious delay and much
annoyance I notified him thaat I had
made an official entry Of the circum-
stance ON my log and the loss of time,
and that on approaching shore would
detain him until sufficient guarantee
had been put up that he would answer
in court to reply to demand for fnan
cial restitution. talked of CSC, 900 be.

to say he spent the balance Of the voyage

As one who knew and loved Pearl, we
can say that she was bright, sweet, low

we were intimately associated with her,
we found her always possessed OF will
