Mr.. Allen added the support of the
! Populist senators. They had intended
to present Senator Kyle's name. but
since such a harmonious understand
ing had been reached between Repub-
ican and Democratic senators the
name Of Mr.. Kyle would not be men
toned. Mr.. Allen added that on all
vital questions the Populist senators
would maintain their independence.
UNANIMOUS.
Mr.. Frye was unanimously chosen
and In brief remarks promised to JUS
THY the confidence reposed in him by
! strict impartiality.
| With brief interlude the senate
plunged into the morning business with
a Republican presiding officer in the
chalf, the vice president being absent.
Mr.. Wolcott (Rep., CoIo.9 secured the
passage of a bill opening the forest
reservations in Colorado for the To-
eating of mining claims.
Does that contemplate the mining
OF gold in Colorado" asked Mr.. Hill.
1T does" responded Mr.. Wolcott,
and will doubtless be satisfactory for
that reason to the constituents of the
senator from New York, who are con-
cerned only with gold.''
Mr.. Allen then addressed the senate
on the resolution known as the Davis
resolution relative to the Monroe doc
tr1ne. He contended that the Monroe
doctrine was simply one of national
representation, and said that if the
invasion of the South American re-
public by Great Britain will endanger
the welfare or menace the safety of
this government in any way, we should
simply apply this doctrine and resent
her action with oil the 9th nd
resources of a mighty nation. We must

of when the doctrine is to be applied.
We cannot, he maintained, permit
Great Britain or any other foreign
power to determine when and to what
extent the acquisition Of territory on
the western hemisphere will imperil
our government. He thought, however,
that it would be ample time to act
when the Venezuelan commission shall
have reported, and said:
eff we shall then determine that the
action Of Great Britain in acquiring
territory in Venezuela will imperil our
government by imperilling the rights
of Venezuela, 1t will become our duty
to marshall all the resources of our
people to resist the threatened or &C
tual invasion If, on the other hand,
we shall determine, after due inYeSti-
cation and deliberation, that our in
tereSts will not be imperilled, it will be
our duty to abstain from any inter
ference with the action of Great Brit
ain. 1 feel confident, however, that
the dispute over the boundary line be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana
is not for the primary purpose of at
tanning territory, but for the purpose
Of gaining control of
THE ORINOCO RIVER,
which leads into one Of the richest
portions of South America. If this be
true it will be our duty to repel the
aggressive action of that nation"
Mr.. Allen warned the Venezuelans
against becoming over elated at the
attitude of this country and deprecat-
ing the idea Of plunging England and
the United States into a deadly conflict,
though England should be given to
understand in manner that cannot
be mistaken that the honor and inter
ests OF all our country will be pre-
served at all hazards and under all
circumstances, even though it may take
every man and exhaust all the re-
sources OF this nation to defend them.
Continuing in this connection. he said:
