SALISBURY HEARD FROM.
For the Monroe Doctrine as Monroe DE.
,larc, u.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-Thc banquet Of
ton at the Hotel Mctropolc last night
was the occasion of an address by
the Marquis Of Salisbury. prime min
lister and secretary of state for foreign
affairs. In the course of his remarks
he said with reference to Venezuela:
IL have been held up as the de-
nounccr of the Monroe doctrine. As u
matter of fact, although the Monroe
doctrine is no part of intcrna tional
law, my dispatch to Mr.. Olncy, the
secretary of state of the United States,
supported II, rs u rule OF policy, in the
strongest and most distinct terms.
But when stated in that dispatch
and rciterdte now, that. as u rule OF
policy, we are the advocates of the
Monroe doctrine, we mcan the Monroe
doctrine AS President Monroe under
stood it. Cheers. In that sense You
will not find any more convinced sup
portcrs than we are
Lord Salisbury then turned abrupt
~ to the Armenian question, and here
~rcproached the religious communities
with laboring under a mistake when
they supposed that England had
bound herself in honor to succor the
Armcnians, which means to 90 to war
with the Sultan in order to force him to
govern the Armcnians well. The Der
lin treaty, Lord Salisbury said, mere
~ bound the signatory powers that If
the Sultan promulgated certain re-
forms they would watch over the exc
cution of those reforms. Nothing
more. lie did not think anyone could
interpret that as an undertaking to
60 to war.
"lf You ask why we have not inter.
fcrcd, ! Fan only answer for England
that we could have threatened, what ]
may call a~nnOyanceS, in the selling Of
customs here and there, but when YOU
are dealing with the rising of Il whole
fanatical population against II popula-
tion with whom they have been at
bitter eumity for ages, aud who are
situated in mountains far removed
from the scashorc, You are decriying
yourselves IL you imagine that Eng
lands arm, long as II is, could have
done anything in mitigation. Nothing
but n military usurpation could have
done it, ana England does not possess
the power of military "usurpation at
that distance.
II am not bound To answer the ques-
ton why Europe did not intervene. I
say confidently that none of the pow
crs wished to interfere, and | believe
that their view is that, with patience,
the Sultan's prestige, which is the only
power left in the country, will ulti-
matcly r~e-establisn order and allow in
dustry and to take their
usual secure course. That Is their
view Of it, aud it is our duty to give
the Sultan time. 1t is not for me to
pass Judgment on that view, but no
other remedy is suggested. 1t is some
encouragement To find that already
some degree of order is being restored.
II you do not act with the great pow
crs YOU must act against them, and
produce calamities far more awful and
terrible than the Armenian atrocities. "

A PATENT ON
New Women" Must Hereafter PAY ~
Royalty to u BROOKLYN Man,

NASHlSGroN, Feb. 4.-After a six
months search through ancient and
modern history, the patent office has
issued Il patent on boomers. The
man who gets the official credit of in.
venting this ''up-to-datc" article of
wearing apparel is Thomas II. Royce
of Brooklyn. In the future the new
"oman will have to pay Mr.. Royce a
royalty on such neither arments.
Application for the patent was filed
August II, 1895, when the bloomer
craze was at its height. Royce did
not claim to be the originator of this
form of feminine 'trousercttcs." but
claimed to have invented some of the
most essential features of the ac.
cepted style of boomers. The delay
in granting the patent was due to a
discussion among the patent Office eX-
aininers rs TO whether boomers were
patcntable.
Numerous patterns of ancient and
modern pantalcttes or 'trouscrettes"
were taken before the examiners by
MIR. Royce. The flowing neither gar.
ments worn by the inmates of Turk
ish harens and those of the modest
maidens of Persia were compared with
the latest style of bloomcrs worn by
the new woman
An interesting point in connection
with the granting of this patent was
the official decision and recognition
OF the word ''bloomers.' it being held
that the term was Of American origin
atty, without regard for the apparel
for females Of the old world or of an.
cient times.
