The Monroe Doctrine on Ton.

Now that the facts of the Venezuelan
arbitration agreement are known
fuller information is obtainable as TO
the form the compact has taken.
There are two distinct papers in the
transaction. The first and by far the
most important one is in the nature of
a solemn agreement between the
United States and Great Britain on the
terms by which the boundary question
will be settled and the form of the
court of arbitration. Then, because
the subject matter of the boundary lies
between Great Britain and Venezuela.
a second paper is made necessary. This
will be in the form of treaty, the con-
tracing parties being Great Britain
and Vene zuela. Each instrument will
relate to the other, and be part of a
common understanding on the entire
subject. In this way Nenezuela re-
tains her attitude as a contracting
party to the final treaty. The fact of
the United States being made n princi-
pal in the arbitration, while Venezuela
is not represented in the commission,
does not establish the policy of pro-
tectorate by this country over the
smaller republics of this hemisphere.
The first contention of Great Britain
was that If the Monroe doctrine was
recognized it would bar foreign gov
ernments from one form of redress for
grievances or damages inflicted upon
any of the great powers by these small
republics, and that therefore the
United States would have to stand
surety for the good conduct of the gov
ernments whom we protect in their
territory. Mr.. Olney made it clear
that the United States would not ac-
cept this contention, but that we
would confine ourselves TO the one
proposition, that no foreign power
should establish dominion over terri
tory on this continent, and care was
taken by Mr.. Olney that the action in
this ease should not hereafter be inter-
preted to mean that we assumed any
responsibility for our sister republics.
In view OF this fact the agreement Of
arbitration between Great Britain and
the United States is based entirely
upon the recognition of our right to
enforce the Monroe doctrine.

Uncle sam Madeline Turks Back Down.

The British steamer Boyne, from
Mediterranean ports arrived at New
York without a manifest, for which
Capt Fisher offers an explanation. As
the Boyne lay off smyrna, Turkey in
Asia, he heard the noise of riots and
the cries of victims of the bloody
Turks. Towards dark small boat
load of Armenian refugees came out to
the Boyne and Capt. Fisher took them
aboard. Soon after some Turkish
soldiers came out and demanded the
surrender of the Armenians and upon
Capt Fishers refusal threatened him.
The captain sought assistance from an
Italian man-of-war and was refused,
but at dawn the u. ;. warship Mime
apolis came into the bay. When the
Boyne signalled her trouble Admiral
Thomas C. Selfridge, Jr., commandant
of the Z. S. Mediterranean squadron,
said: ''Well give you all the assistance
you want. You'll take those refugees
safely out of this port if I've got to
lombard the town." and the admiral
ordered off the Turkish barge and sent
detail of marines and blue jackets
over to the British ship, with orders to
hold her safe from attack. With this
Capt. Fisher set sail

kEvIEw OF TRADE.

No one dolbts that a brighter day is dawn
ing and il is a common remark that never be-
fore has business shown so great change
for the better within so short time. Dis
patches telling OF about 800 establishments
which have opened and have materfa en-
iarged their force, though they fill n " coll
umns, give only part of the faCts, for
throughout the country the gain has been
surprising even to the most hopeful. 1t is
not mere speculation or hope which lights
the fires and starts the wheels, for orders
which have been accommodating for months
with the necessary replenishment of dealers
stocks now greatly reduced, would employ
the whole producing force for a time and
the increase in the number of hands at work
means increase in purchases for consump-
ton. Foreign need of American wheat con-
tinues an important factor, and the prices
have advanced-a total OF 2ic since carly in
september. The price Is the highest since
Jane 1852. Many textile works have been
starting or increasing force. mostly on or
ders booked weeks ago. But there has not
been much gain in the demand as yet.
There Is slightly better demand Tor light
weight mems goods and for dress goods but
not enough as yet to start most of the wait
ing mills The cotton goods market Is not
yet active, but more liberal estimates of TIL
cotton crop are rcnerallv credited.

What the Foreign Press Thinks of 1t

"hdb inc IofctSh ITess lhinks OF IT.
The London Speaker publishes an
article in which, after recalling Lord
Salisburg's reply to Secretary Olney in
regard to Monroeism, it says: can en-
tirely new order of things has been es-
tablished by the Anglo-American un-
Outstanding. Mr.. Olney's extension of
the Monroe doctrine, itself not before
acknowledged by any European power,
has now received the sanction of Great
Britain. But it would be profitless as
well as somewhat painful to touch
upon this delicate ground. What had
to be done, had TO be done, and that is
the long and the short of it. We may
not like it; but there ought to be no
difficulty in choosing between the alb
surdity of complaining over the newt
able and the dignity of smiling acqui-
essence.
The st. James Gazette SAYS: Lord
Salisbury's great admission of the
principle that the United States have
the right to intervene in frontier dis
putes of the American powers and TO
compel the disputants to arbitrate, al
together transcends in Importance the
question of the Guiana boundary. 1t
is formal recognition of the hege-
mony of the United States on the
American continent, and gives the
President position in the new world
which the mediaeval popes and emper-
ors tried vainly to claim in Europe"
The Paris Temps says the agreement
endows the United States with abso-
lutte supremacy in the western hemi-
sphere, and that it must be bitter
pill to British pride to consent to that.

Returns from Wyoming show that
the Bryan electors were elected by a
majority of 20.
The opening of the German reiehstag
drew large crowd in anticipation OF
some important revelations as TO the
German Russian secret treaty, which
was made public through Prince Bis
marcks paper recently. The imperial
chancellor. Prince IIohenlohe, how
ever, treated the subject evasively.
He said that Germany is for peace, that
her relations with her allies were very
friendly. and that there is no proba-
: tility of war.

japan Coming to the Front.

The report of the United States com
missioner of navigation for 1896, after
referring TO the necessity for the pass
age of a free ship bill, states that our
maritime rank on the Pacific is now
threatened by new rival, Japan,
which has just established trans-Pa-
cific steamship line to the United States
and, with the cooperation of American
capital, is preparing to rapidly extend
the service.

HOT FIGHTING I'M CUBA.
Report Says the Insurgents Drove the
Spanish Army Back Eight Miles.

Report says the Insurgents Drove the
Spanish Army Back Eight Miles.
A recent dispatch from Havana
said: Capt. Gen. Weyler has taken the
field in person against the insurgents
under Antonio Maceo in the province
of Pinar del Rio AID reliable news re-
ccived from the front indicates that
the Spanish columns are approaching
close TO the enemy. Strong reinforce
ments were embarked TO support the
captain-general in the operations
against the insurgents. Gen. Weyler
arrived at Mariel and left shortly after
wards, going in the direction of Guam
ajay, on the military trocha. News
from Mariel of numerous sl1irmishes in
that region indicate the activity with
which military operations are now
being pushed. The troops were ex-
tended for five miles along the high
way. Capt. Gen. Weyler left Mariel
with a column of 5000 infantry, 400
cavalry and six cannon.
A later dispatch from Key West
says: Capt. Gen. Weyler has at last
met the Cubans on the field and has
suffered a repulse, according TO the adj
vices per steamer Olivette, from
Havana. Weyler, it is said, was at
tackled while encamped in the Gober-
hadora hills, in Plnar del Rio province,
by the Cubans under Perico Delgado
and Perico Diaz. The Cubans surprised
the Spanish outposts and for time
great confusion prevailed in Weyler's
camp. Weyler is said TO have fallen
back about eight miles. During the
retreat the Cubans killed "a Spaniards
and wounded 60 Others
a report has been sent out from
Havana which says that the Spaniards
defeated the insurgents and captured
their position. Another dispatch from
Key West, however, corroborates the
report that Weyler was driven eight
miles. Maceo had been informed of
the proposed attack and made prepa-
rations to give the enemy warm re-
ception. Sharp fighting ensued for
several hours, which ended in the re-
treat of the Spaniards Maceo's 500
sharpshooters were placed in advanta-
geous positions and did deadly execu-
ton. Early in the fight they singled
out Gems Melguez and Echague and
shot them down. The report further
says that Gen. Weyler himself was
shot in the leg. Havana is in a whirl
of excitement.
what Is Uncle Sam Up To?
A special dispatch from Washington
says: The war department has called
on the leading trunk line roads run
ming to Key West, New Orleans and
the other gulf ports for an immediate
statement of their capacity to move
troops, supplies and heavy war mate
rial. The information demanded is
complete to the most minute detail
and embraces such questions as: If
you are required to move 5000
troops over your lines with necessary
equipments and supplies how long
after notification will you require to
perform the service?' Caution as to
secrecy is imposed on all roads called
on for information"

; A terrible holocaust occurred at the
residence of Alexander Campbell, four
miles south of Perrinton. While the
family were asleep the house took fire,
and was soon enveloped in flames.
The alarm was soon sounded, but all
the avenues of escape were shut off.
One of the children escaped by jump
ing, but two others, aged 6 and re-
spectively. and cousin, aged 10, were
burned TO death. Neighbors floclIed
anything, the house soon becoming a
mass OF ruins. The charred remains
were with difficulty recovered. How
the fire originated is not known.

DynamIted His Enemy's House.


The humble home of Frank Konczal,
n Polish laborer of Springwells, sub
urb of Detroit, was almost demolished
by dynamite and three people were
badly in jured. 1t was about 10:45 p.
IN. and the occupants of the house
were Konczal, his wife and eight chill
dren, including married son, the sons
wife, and II young German named
Robert Ewers who was paying atten-
ton to Josie, the oldest daughter. All
had gone TO bed except Josie and Ewers
when suddenly there was n tremendous
explosion, the walls were split open at
the corner, plastering, flooring and
furniture were hurled with terrible
force through the rooms on that side
of the house, windows were blown out
and every piece of furniture, and crock
cry in the house was broken. When
the neighbors who heard the explosion
had arrived and n hospital ambulance
was called it was found that Konczal
and Ewers were terribly wounded and
that Josie had serious cut in the right
eve. The others of the family were
uninjured, their rooms being on the
side of the house opposite the explosion.
At the hospital it was found that Konc-
zal had at least 25 wounds, covering
his body from head TO foot, caused by
splinters, gravel, etc, and one very
serious, where large splinter had en-
tered the back near the kidneys.
Ewers' eyes had been terribly burned
and splinter striking his head had
caused conclusion of the brain. His
eyesight is undoubtedly destroyed and
he may die. Josie will lose the sight
of one eye.
The only stable theory as to the
cause of the explosion is that Stephen
Regulslxi, n Polish laborer, had a
grudge against both Knoczal and
Ewers and had often made threats of
killing them. He is known as an ugly
fellow and is feared by his neighbors.
He was arrested about three hours
after the explosion, at his home where
he was found in bed witilhis clothes on.

Farmer Shot His vito and Himself.


Samuel j. WEIGH, a well-to-do and
respected farmer living about three
northwest of Unionvillc, shot his wife
and himself.
On the fatal morning the family had
breakfast early as usual and George
WEIGH. a brother, had gone to the barn
to do the chores. He had been absent
but few moments when he heard the
discharge of gun, which caused him
TO hurry toward the house. He saw
his brother near the well with gun
in his hand and as George approached
the gun was discharged and his brother
fell upon knees; he grabbed the gun
and ran to the house and there found
Mrs Welch dead upon the floor with
her head nearly blown from her body,
andeher little 5-ycar-old boy standing
by crying. He took the child and gun
and started for a neighbours for assist
ance. While he was gone WEIGH went
back into the house. secured revolver
and shot himself through the head.
Samuel j. Welch was SO years of age
and his wife was 40. They moved to
the scene of the tragedy two years ago
from Yale, where they were married
nine years ago. They had never lived
agreeably together, having always
quarreled more or less over their chill
dren by previous marriages. They
were in good condition financially.

IA buildings Burned at Traverse CITY.


Fourteen buildings were destroyed
by fire at Traverse City and one man
lost his life The total loss is 'esti-
mated at $55, 900, with about SO, 900
insurance.
The fire started in the drug store of
c. A. Bug6ee, on Front street, one5of n
row of frame buildings, and is supposed
TO have been caused by the explosion
of chemicals. The flames soon spread
to the Front Street houss and other
buildings adjoining. Many of the
buildings were leading business houses
and it was only by the efforts of the
firemeu that dozen others were saved.
Edward Newberry, porter of the Front
Street house, who was sleeping in one
of the upper rooms, was cremated. 1t
was thought that one or two more
dodgers were burned, but no more bod
les were found. There were about 30
guests and boardcrs in the hotel, but
they succeeded in escaping through the
windows in their night clothing. All
of them lost their personal belongings.
