Kansas News.
Topeka, Kan. Dec. 1S.-(Special)-
There was good deal Of quiet fun
about town today over a dispatch pub
!ished by the Capital from Washington
This dispatch gave the expressions of
the different men on the Kansas dele
cation on the Venezuelan situation.
Perhaps as funny a thing as there is
In the dispatch is the guarded way in
which one or two men view the mat
ter. Chester Long does not think the
message very statesmanlike" Senator
Baker, who has either forgotten the
war Of II or the American revolution
speaks abut licking England ION this
continent once"
The following is the dispatch. 1.-The
CHIEF subject Of discussion in Wash
ton this evening is the presidents mes
sage 1t was a surprise, as most Of
his messages are. OF course the Kan
sas delegation is pleased with the spir-
It Of il and are in full accord with some
Of its suggestions. Some of them be
Ieve. however, that the proper inter-
probation of the Monroe doctrine means
the absolute denial of any power in the
eastern hemisphere to acquire any fur
Their territory in the western hemis-
phere, either peaceably or forcibly.
Mr.. Curtis says that the message
was written by Mr.. Olney or else the
president wrote ii while under some
benign influence while down the river
Of course it pleases him.
Judge Calderhead is not quite ready
TO endorse the message in toto, but ex-
pressed himself as delighted to learn
that the president Of the United States
had discovered he is an American.
1t was quite American enough for
the most rabid of u.s." said Judge
Frederick, shut / think congress bull
dozed Mr.. Cleveland into writing it.
1t is the only American message he ev-
er presented to the United States"
ut was vigorous and patriotic" said
Colonel Blue, land presents no ele-
ment Of weakness or cowardice am
IN favor of passing appropria tons and
appointing the commission suggested
at once"
''Mr. Cleveland has at last heard the
voice Of the people," said Mr.. Kirkpat-
rick, and he hastens to bow TO the
VIII. Who ever wrote the message
sized up the feeling in congress pretty
thoroughly and the people that were
present"
1T was not particularly states
man-ike document" said Mr.. Long,
but the plain English of it was re-
freshing after the knuckling to for
eign powers that we have been doing
Of late. England won't monkey with
our buzz saw much after that, in my
opinion"
''Of course We don't want war" said
Senator Baker. but England knows to-
night that we are not afraid Of war and
that we can whip her now just as eff
fectually as we did once before on this
continent"
