England to Recognize the Monroe Doctrine

Washington: The President and Sec
rotary Olney do not expect the reply
of the British government TO America :
representations concerning the Vene-
zuelan boundary dispate and the Mon
roc doctrine IN time to admit of it's
treatment in the Preside nt's message
1t is understood the British cabinet is
now at work on a reply. When it
comes it will be made the subject Of a
special message TO congress. There
are good reasons for the belief that
Lord Salisbury's reply will be of a
conciliatory nature, either admitting
the boundary dispute to arbitration
and thus recognizing the applicability
of the Monroe doctrine, or preparing
the way for such action later on.

A narrow escape from another awful
bridge disaster occurred on the Supe-
rior street viaduct at Cleveland. Three
street cars were waiting for the draw

their cars TO talk. The motorman of

lever and suddenly the car bounded
forward and crashed into the next car
and pushed it against the car ahead
with considerable force. Luckily the
brake on the last named was set
tightly. Nevertheless il was driven
ahead and only came TO a stop when
within foot of the closed gates. The
struggle of the panicstrIc!sen people To
escape from the crowded cars was
fearful Mrs. George SCHNEIDER was
badly injured and several other women
tainted. This viaduct is 90 feet above
the river.
