PARIS, France, Jan. 20. - The
Eclair today, commenting on the
suggested application of the Mon
roe doctrine, remarks: "Does the
American government think itself
strong enough to appropriate in
it's own interests one Of two hemis-
pheres and forbid Europe to have
access to at least half of the world I?
If it pushes its eXtravagant pre-
tensions to this point the only
thing that can happen will be that
all Europe will arrive at an under
standing by which they will close
their ports to American ships, a
measure which will make America
ask for mercy in week. Why
does America assume an attitude
she cannot maintain ?"

Concert to aid the Cubans.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 20.-The
grand concert which will be given
tonight at Odd Fellows Hall for
the benefit OF the widows and
orphans of the Cuban patriots
promises to be complete success
both financially and musically.
The cream of the local musical
fraternity have offered their SER
vices to Mr.. j. Nelson Polhamus,
who has prepared the entertain
menr, and most select program
has been prepared. The warm
sympathy which the Cuban cause
has in this city, and the gallant
fight which the patriots are max
ing in Cuba, serves much more to
enchance the general desire to
assist the concert to a happy
termination, and tickets are being
sold rapidly. The management
would request holders of tickets
to communicate with the treasur.
er as soon as possible.

There is a legal felment in the air.
Lawyers have been consulted, and
at no distant date society may be

VIM. X. Vanderbilt will be plain

PENDANT. By the terms of settle
ment Mrs. Belmont was to have
$4,000 a year for the support of
each child. She has forfeited the
amount set aside for her daughter
by the marriage of that young
woman to the Duke of Marl-
borough. She has now two sons
to keep until they reach their
majority. Owing to the nature of
the suit for divorce, Mrs. Belmont,
then Mrs. Vanderbilt, being plain
tiff, she obtained the custody of
her children and the right to re-
marry. The decision was against
Mr.. Vanderbilt on statutory
grounds. Hence it would be i'm
possible for Mr.. Vanderbilt to
claim his children, but as to his
maintaing alimony after his wife
has remarked is another question.
Friends of Mr.. Vanderbilt have
asserted he will fight this to the
end, and unless some compromise
is made a lawsuit will result.
