WOLCOTT'S EFFORT.
Senator Wolcott was recognized for
his speech on the Monroe doctrine The
senator spoke earnestly and was ac-
corded close attention. After referring
to the message of President Cleveland
ON the Venezuelan question and the APP
pointment of a commission. the senator
said that under the circumstances Ii |
would ordinarily seem to be the part |
OF wisdom to refrain at present from /
further comment upon SO sensitive and
delicate a character.
The resolution which the committee
on foreign relations had reported. the
effect of which might be most far
reaching as regarding our policy and
relations toward other friendly nations
required, he said. some careful investi-
cation.
Continuing, he said: THE few re-
marks | shall make will be chiefly to the
effect that the se-ea1led Monroe doc
trlne has been misapplied in the pend
ing controversy that so much of Pres
ldent Monroess message as referred to |
the colonization of portions of America
py European powers could have no APP
plicability to any boundary dispute now
existing in South America; that the
hostility to the extension by European
powers Of their systems to any portion
of this hemisphere, as expressed in that
message, had especial reference to the
systems of government which were
based on the divine right of kings and
which were directed to the overthrow of
all republics wherever existing. thar
