the purpose was to discuss the Vene-

at12:40 tile doors were closed.
At ! o'clock the senate resumed its

An English exchange says: cone OF
the most gratifying signs of the times,
from political, no less than from
commercial. point Of view, is the steady
progress which is being made with the
work of opening up the long neglected
regions OF Northern Russia. It is
stated that at the present moment the
Russian finance minister is engaged in
the consideration of various schemes
of railway enterprise propounded by
group Of capitalists at Moscow and by
the municipalities of st. Petersburg and
Moscow The fact that the regions to
be opened up are populous and rich in
mineral and agricultural wealth seems
70 point to possibilities of very profita-
bic results acerning from the new lines.
Whether that be SO or not, any money
expended which finds employment for
the heads and hands of the people of
Russia and diyerts their attention from
foreign intrigue will be well laid out"

Great Britain's present proposition has
never thus far been regarded as admissible
by Venezuela, though any adjustment of
the boundary which that country may
deem for her advantage and may enter
into OF her own free will can not OF course
be objected to by the United States As
Stunning, however, that the attitude OF
Venezuela will remain unchanged, the dis
pute has reached such a stage us to make
1t now incumbent upon the United States
to take measures TO determine with suf1i-
cient certainty for Its justification what
is the true divisional line between the
republic of Venezuela and British Guiana
The inquiry to that end should of course
be conducted carefully and judicially, and
due weight should be given TO all avail

international Press Association Service.)
Washington, D. c., Dec. 17.-President
Cleveland this morning sent to congress
the following message on the Vene-
zaelan dispute,
To the congress: In my annual mes
sage addressed to the congress on the
Sd instant, I called attention to the
pending boundary controversy between
Great Britain and the republic of Ven
esueke and recited the substance of a
r~ptesentatio made by this govern
nAeht to her Britannia majesty's govern
ment, suggesting reasons why such dis
pute should be submitted to arbitration
Tor settlement and inquiring whether
1t would be so submitted. The answer
OF the British government, which was
then awaited, has since been received,
and, together with the dispatch to which
1t Is a reply, Is hereto appended. Such
reply Is embodied In two communities
lions addressed by the British prime
minister to Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador at this capital.
1t will be seen that one Of these COM
nlunications is devoted exclusively to
observations upon the Monroe doctrine
and claims that in the present instance
a new and strange extension and devel-
opment of this doctrine is insisted upon
by the United States, that the reasons
justifying an appeal to the doctrine

generally inappicable to controversy
involving the boundary line between
Great Britain and Venezuela.
Without attempting extended argu-
ments in reply to these positions 1t may
not be amiss to suggest that the doc
trine upon which we stand Is strong and
sound because it's endorsements impor-
tant to our peace and safety as ma
ton and is essential to the integrity of
our free Institutions and the tranquil
maintenance or our distinctive form of
government. 1t was intended to apply
to every stage of our national life and
cannot become obsolete while. our re-
public endures. If the balance of power
is justly a cause for jealous anxiety
among the governments of the old world
and a subject for our absolute non-in-
reference, none the less is an observ-
ance of the Monroe doctrine of vital
concern to our people and their govern
ment
