New YORK, Jan. 3O.-A dispatch
TO the Herald from Paris says:
The Partisan papers devote con-
siderable attention to the POSSIBLE
tiles of the United States entering
into the active spheres of European
international affairs, and the
Journal regrets that Europe has
no sort of Monroe doctrine to pro-
tect it from the meddling OF the
United States in purely European
affairs.
The resolution adopted by the
senate and house of representa-
tives, it points out, is a direct sum-
mons to the powers to carry out
the clauses of the treaty of Berlin.
Diplomats Of old, we are told,
would have been Mortified at the
idea of sending an American
squadron to Constantinople, as
Frye urges, not because it would
have been surprised to learn that
America has quadron to send,
but because they would have re-
.membered certain conventions
which forbid the sending of squad
rons to Constantinople. Ameri-
cans are aware that such conven-
tions exist, yet Senator Frye wants
to send a squadron without paying
any regard to them. 1t is impos-
sible to be more un-Americsn.
70 is true that authorities on in
ternational law interviewed by the
Herald have clearly expressed an
opinion that congress is to be tame
and has no business to NEEDLE with
the treaty OF Berlin which the
United States was not a signer to,
but Of course the idea Of attaching
any weight to the opinions OF jur-
lists is regarded on the other side of
the Atlantic as European preju-
dice. AS to the views of England
or rather of Mr.. Chamberlain, who
alone. has spoken, he appears to
regret that America, instead of
wrangling over trifie like this
Venezuelan dispute, should not
have interviewed to settle the Ar
menian question, while the press
appears to regard such course
without dissatisfaction. Possibly
however, Mr.. Chamberlain's refer
ence is intended to chaff the Ameri-
cans OH their own tolerance in at
lacking England.
The Temps take advantage ofthe
occasion to lecture the English
press on its too fertile Imagination,
in assuming the possibility of
Europe confiding to the great re-
public of the new world, and of the
United States accepting the mis-
sion in spite OF the Monroe doctrine
being turned upside down, or fore
ing the bank OF the sultan by
naval demonstration before Con-
stantinople.
fortunately" says the Temps
"the world is governed not by fan
attic political conjecturers but by
the modest 'routinirs' of Downing
street or the 'Quai d'orsay'".

TALE OF A SUNDAY SIESTA.
Whilom ChumS Accuse One Another Of
Pocket Picking.
An Afternoon Nap in a Lumber Yard
and a Fight With
Fence Picket.

Quite a commotion was created yes
terday afternoon on l. street, between
Fourth and Fifth, when Joseph Spring
hall accused ]. w. Matheny with nav
ing knocked him insensible with a
picket and then robbed him OF Sl2o and
q gold watch, and all in the broad glare
of the sun and on one of the thorough
fares in the heart of the city.
AS a result of the accusation, both
Matheny and Springhan were taken TO
the City Prison, where Chief Drew set
about making an investigation. Spring
hall told several stories before he got
through, which did not exactly dove
tail. He said at first that he had met
Matheny for the first time but few
hours before, but afterward said he had
known him four or five days. He said
he had been drinking with the latter,
and then walked with him to the lum-
ber yard on L street, between Fourth
and Fifth, at which point Matheny sug-
gested that they lie down and take a
sleep. This Springhall said he refused
to do, whereupon Matheny picked up
picket, knocked him insensible and re-
lieved him Of his money and valuables.
He claimed to have arrived here week
ago, in company with his brother,
from Salt Lake City, where they had
worked in the mines.
To Chief Drew Matheny told an en-
tirely different and much more cohe-
sive story. He said he and the two
Springhal1 brothers had been working
on a ranch in Sierra County for some
time past, and arrived in the city Sat
urday evening in the wagon of a ranch
er, who had given them a lift. They
Put up at a hotel and yesterday morn
ing started out to see the sights.
After supper himself and Joe Spring
hall went to the lumber yard and lay
down. He fell asleep and was awakened
by Springhall, who was busy going
through his pockets. Matheny said he
told Springhall to quit, which the latter
refused to do, whereupon Matheny
struggled to his feet and started for
him.
Springhall secured picket, which
Matheny took away from him, and be-
ing incensed raped him over the head
with it, knocking him down.
The latter part of Matheny's state
nlent was corroborated by a citizen re-
siding in the neighborhood, who saw
him take the picket from Springhall
ard knock him down with it.
When searched Matheny had S26 upon
his person, at which he expressed sur
prise, saying that he supposed Spring
hall had been successful in his search
for plundar.
The police are inclined to believe
Mathenys story.

David Chancer's Death in the City
Jail Yesterday.

On Thursday night of last week David
Chancer, better known as English
Dave" was arrested for drunkenness
and lodged in the city prison. Friday
morning he was taken before Justice
Davis, and on account of the seriousness
of his condition was remanded to Jail

taken of him. He was suffering from
the aftermath of long spree, and his
nerves had become so shattered as to
give him an appearance of having palsy.
On Saturday morning he seemed to be
better, but in the evening there was a
recurrence of his former condition, and
shortly after daylight yesterday he died.
Chancer had been working for the
past three months on the Haggin ranch,
but for some time past had been drink
ing heavily. The body was taken in
charge by Coroner Clark.
