HILL ON THE MONROE DOCTRINE
The New York Senator Does Not Lay Very
Great Stress on That
Question,

Albany, y. y, April 2l.-An interview

was asked; whether experts in public
law law think think the Monroe doctrine, has given

,protectorate, over Spanish American"
,o ne answered that he had never thought
But, does not the Monroe doctrine de
clare that the United States cannot permit
any Spanish American republic on this
continent to be. oppressed or its destiny
controlled by, European state?,,'
That would not have referred" the SEN
ator said. ito legitimate dispute, such as
we or any other government might have
tomorrow with a Spanish-AmeriCan state.
1t protested against using such a contro-
very with an intention to increase Euro
pean domination on this hemisphere or
or transfer colony like Cuba 10 Euro
pean nation like Spain, but did not change
what was the law Of nations"
Did not the Monroe doctrine declare to
forclbly II need be. in behalf Of every
opinion, was oppressed by a European
state?"
then If Chilli shall oppress Peru or Mex
leo shall be unreasonable in dealing with
Guatemala. Congress has never affirmed
the Monroe doctrine. In 1865 President
johnson projected a treaty with Colombia,
which was signed, embodying the Monroe
doctrine but neither the Colombian senate
nor our senate ratified II. You remember
that when two years after President Mon
roe made his declaration, a congress was
convened by Bolivia at Panama for the
consideration and discussion of an Amer
lean alliance to enforce the declaration,
there was substantial concurrence of opin-
ion between President John Quincy Adams,
who had formulated the Monroe doctrine,
and the members Of the senate and house
especially the Democrats, including Sena-
tor Van Buren,, of New York, participating
in a long debate. that the declaration did
not pledge the United states to forever
thereafter prevent European power from
interfering with the Independence or form
of government of a Central American
state"
DO you think President Monroe has the
reputation of having given his name to Il
rule of conduct by the United States for
which neither he nor Mr. Adams contend
ed?'
Precisely that" the senator answered.
1.-THE doctrine cannot be formulated in
treaty or Il statute. but its moral influence
has been, is and ought to be, very great.
Discrimination should however, be made
between legitimate disputes and illes. innate
purposes behind the disputes, such as i'm
posing by force European political control
over the destiny of a reluctant Independent
Spanish-Amcrican state"

After eighteen years continuous service
with "A railway company u passenger con-

circumstan leading up to his discharge
by the company are of kind calculated
to arouse the wrath OF railway employees,
although the ex-conductor himself accepts
the dismissal good-naturedly. ''Iie was

Not long ago a tall, emaciated man traV-
eled from New York almost 10 San Fran
cisco without paying fare. He introduced
himself TO the conductor running West
from New York as an eX-conductor, and
hoped to get to California, where he be-
leved his life could be prolonged
He said he was suffering from consump-
tion, and his appearance bore out the
story, He showed knowledge of railway
business, and the conductor believed the

Chicago and proceeded westward on one OF
the well known lines. The Chicago con-
ductor had been Informed OF the facts in
the case, and consented to carry the sick
man, even though II was a violation of the
rules.
Within two weeks after he had been so
obllging he received his peremptory dis
charge. Upon investigation he learned that
every conductor who, out of the goodness
of his heart, helped along the broken down
railroad man had been discharged. The
consumptiye was a ''spotter"
1t Is said that in his entire journey from

story. This was the conductor on the last
run, ending at San Francisco. and he alone
retains Job.
