NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: The Paris
ian papers devote considerable attention
TO the possibilities of the United States
entering into the active spheres Of Euro
pean International affairs, and the Journ-
al Des Debates regrets that Europe has
not some sort of Monroe doctrine to
protect it from the meddling Of the United
States in purely European affairs. The
resolution adopted by the senate and
mouse OF representatives, ii points out,
is a direct summons to the powers to
carry out the clauses of the treaty OF
Berlin. Diplomatists OF old, we are told,
would have been Mortified at the idea OF
sending an American squadron to Con-
stantinople as Senator Frye urges, not
because they would have been surprised
10 learn that America has a squadron to
send, but because they would have re-
memDered certain conventions which for
bid the sending of squa5rons to Constan-
unople. Americans are aware that such
conventions exist, yet Senator Frye wants
TO send squadron without 7aying any
regard 10 them II is tmpo, stble to be
more American. 1t is true that the au-
thorities on the international law in
terVieWed by the Herald have clearly ex-
pressed an opinion that congress is to
blame, and has no business to NEEDLE
with the treaty Of Berlin, in which the
United tateS was not a signature, but OF
course the idea of attaching any weight
the other side Of the Atlantic as a Eugo-
pean prejudice AS to the views of Eng
land, or rather Mr.. Chamberlain, who
alone has spoken, he appears to regret
that America, instead Of wrangling over a.
trifle like the Venezuelan dispute. should
not have interviewed to settle the Arrnen-
ian question, while the press appears to
regard such a coarse without dissatisfac-
ton Possibly, however, Mr.. Chamber
lain's reference is intended to chaf the
Americans on their own intolerance IN
attacking England Of her Intervention in
Venezuela.
The Temps takes advantage Of the oc-
casion to lecture the English press on its
too fertile Imagination in assuming the
possibility of Europe coniding to the
great republic of the new world and OF
the United States accepting the mission
in spite of the Monroe doctrine being
turned upside down. of forcing the hand
of the sultan by naval demonstration
