smuggling scandal today. -Four prisoners
who were brought from Placentia Bay
turned Queens evidence, and revealed all
the secrets of the syndicate which
practically controlled all the smuggling
into this port, Of liquor and tobacco for
the.past four years. 1.-THE scandal is cer-
tain to be among the greatest ever ex-
posed here, and will implicate many
prominent officials and nearly every
saloon keeper in the city. The ramifica-
tions of the gang were most extensive
and the work was pursued with surpris-
ing audacity. The opposition press main

other proofs to show the government

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
As Explained to Englishmen by

IT WILL ALWAYS BE SUSTAINED.

Tho Massachusetts, Statesman Believes the
Next Congress VIII Declare That Doc

LONDON, Nov 15.-The Chronicle pub
iishcs an interview with Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge, Of Massachusetts, In which he ex-
presses his views upon the subject of the
Monroe doctrine, Aftor going intot the his
tory, OF the doctrine In detail, Mr.. Lodge
said.
Nobody in America ever pretended
thnt the Monroe doctrine is proposition
Of International law. 1t is o declaration
OF policy, and ono which people in Amer
lea have always sustained, and In my opin-
ion always will sustain as Of vital i'm
portance to the people Of the United States
It's bearing upon the subject matter of tho
Venezuelan dispute is very simple. Each
country Is entitled to what its predecessor
held, and no more, for no new rights have
beon acquired In the interval by either
people. Tho question is what was the true
boundary between tho Dutch and Spanish
possessions. That question can properly
be settled by arbitration To refuse arbis

England pursued such course, to any
other European power. The people Of tho
United States could not regard 1t as other
wise than movement hostile to them.
: "The Monroe doctrine 1t should be re-
mombered, Ia quite distinct from any cues
zion Of reparation for injuries received by
the subjects of foreign powers at the hands
bf the governments or the peoples Of Cen
tral or South American republics. With
such questions we have nothing to do, but
we cannot permit under cover Of a de-
mand for reparation, or in any other way,
now territory to be acquired by European
power.
''It Is my belief that In the next congress
both house and senate will by formal
resolution declare the Monroe doctrine to
be On integral part of the policy Of the
United States, to be maintained at all
hazards"
William Fl. Stead, editor Of Tho Re-
view Of Reviews, having seen the inter
view with Senator Lodge, replied at length
TO tho statements made. England. he
said, would hover consent to any veto be-
ing placed on the freest possible expan-
Sion of the Pacific ocean trade and settle
nients and the colonizlng Of the western
world He insisted that 1t would be alb
sured 10 submit the Venezuelan question
to arbitration, with the example of the
termination Of the Alabama claims as an
object lesson.

MORGAN AND SALISBURY.
Tho Senator Defends His Attitude ON the
! Isehring Sea Dispute.

LIVINGSTON, Ala, Nov. Is. - Senator
John L. Morgan in an interview in regard
to Lord Snlisbury's claim that Senator
Morgan's objection to the payment Of tho
Behring sea claims Is based on misapprc-
hcnsion of facts, said:
After very rough examination Of the
facts presented In tho case Of the two gov
ernments, supported on either side by the
testimony Of more than 1000 witnesses
and tho entire diplomatic correspondence
OF the governments covering this subject,
and after listening to the great lawyers
who appeared before the tribunal one for
either side, and which occupied more than
four months at tho time, 1t is not likely
that any mcmbcr of thnt tribunal was less
Informed than Lord Salisbury as to the
facts in tho case, His lordship doubtless
supposcs that his Information OF the facts
In this case is quite superior to mine, other.
wise he would not attribute to me tho
grave error Of mistaken conception Of
the facts p
Evidently he comedies that II am
right In my statement Of tho facts, he
must be wrong in claiming that the United
States owes Great Britain 1926 900 for dep
relations committed upon British ships
found poaching upon the seal herds of the
behring sea, when tho record shows that
moro than half OF the sum claimed as
damages, II dus Mt all, Is due to citizens Of
the United States who violated tho laws Of
their own country by mauradlng upon our
own seal herds under tho cover and shelter
Of the British.
III should be wrong In uniting with
Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Blaine in the opinion
that this maraudins by British subjects
was contrary to public morality and in
tcrnational comfy, I think cannot be
wrong in donouncing this conduct of
American citizens, under cover of the
British flag, as being of close kinto piracy,
and cannot bo wrong in denouncing tho
shelter the British flag gave to their peo-
pie as being an act OF arrogance which
scarcely concealed hostile intentions, 1
am unable to perceive why the United
States government should reward the per-
petrators Of this base conduct, or should
compliment the government Of Great Brit
ain by conceding that it wns either Just,
friendly or honorable"
