IS UNABLE TO STOP IT
Salisbury Says England Cannot
Interfere
HER POWER IS LIMITED
lie i an Entire Advocate of the Monroe
Doctrine, Int Not OF Am rica's
Interpretation.

London, Jan 3l.-The banquet of the
Non-Conformist Unionist Association
was the occasion Of an address by the
marquis Of Salisbury. In the course of
his remarks he said, with reference to
Venezuela:
II have been held UP as the denouncer
of the Monroe doctrine. As a matter of
fact, although the Monroe doctrine is
no part of international law, my dis
patch to Mr. Olney supported il as
rule of policy in the strongest and most
distinct terms.
But when l stated in that dispatch
and reiterate now that as a rule Of pol
icy we are the entire advocates Of the
Monroe doctrine, we mean the Monroe
doctrine as President Monroe under
stood it. (Chaers)
In that sense you will not find amy
more convinced supporters than we
are"
Lord Salisbury then turned abruptly
to the Armenian question and he re-
preached the religious communities
with laboring under a mistake when
they supposed that England had bound
herself in honor to succor the Armen
ians, which means to go to war with
the sultan in order to force him to gov
ern the Armenians well The Berlin
treaty, Lord Salisbury said, merely
bound the signatory powers that if the
sultan promulgated certain reforms
they would watch over the execution of
those reforms, nothing more.
Continuing. the marquis said IF
you ask why we have not interfered in
Armenian troubles l can only answer
fer England that we could have threat
ened what | may call annoyances in the
seizing Of customs here and there, but
when you are dealing with the rising Of
a whole fanatcal population against a
population with whom they have been
at bitter enmity for ages and who are
situated in mountains far removed from
| the seashore, you are deceiYing your
selves if you imagine that England's
arm long as it is, could have done
anything in mitigation. Nothing but
a military usurpatien could have done
| it and Europe does not possess the pow
| er Of military usurpation at that dis
tance.s

BENSON TOLD A STORY OF MURDER
Alleges That penitentiary Officials
Schemed 70 ut Him Ont of the way,

Walla Walla, Jan. 31.--In the Benson
murder trial the main witnesses for the
defense was the defendant, who told
his story of the affair in an apt and con-
else manner, being very particular as
to dates and distances. He said in part
that he occupied the same cell with
Ellis for several months prior to the
murder. At several times Ellis had at
tempted to stab him. but he managed
to escape Ellis. On the day of the muir
der Benson left his loom and engaged
in conversation with convict Edwards.
While there Ellis came up, and drawing
knife, attempted to stab him. Ben
son took the knife away from Ellis and
killed him. He said also that the con
Victs were continually trumping up
charges against him, in consequence of
which he was confined in a dungeon for
days with barely enough food. He be-
deVed he was being poisoned by the
officials so they could get the money
left him by his father. Ellis. he be-
lieved, was acting as a tool for Deputy
Warden Cameron and Guard Beckett,
who wanted him out of the way
In the cross-eXamination all the de-
tails of the killing We're gone over by
Benson in an effort by the defense to
confuse him, but he stuck to his story
tenaciously, except that he said he had
carried a knife on the day of the mur-
der, as he expected trouble with a ne
gro convict, whom he had been warned
had been commissioned by the prison
officials to do him up.
At the close of Benson's testimony
convict Wilson was put on the stand,
when he addressed the court, asking II
witness fees would be paid him. The
court informed him that he would look
into the matter.
Wilson refused to testify, and the at
to1neys asked the court to make him
answer the questions, but the judge was
poweTless to make the witness say a
word
The court then adjourned till tomor-
row.

FREDERICK Or A VISIT

Tresagos Peace With Germany.

London, Jan. 31.-The eX-Empress
Frederick, mother of Emperor William,
has arrived at Osborne House Of the
Isle of Wight, on visit to her mother
Queen Victoria. This visit was arrang-
ed for prior to the note Of defiance
against England by the emperor during
the Transvaal crisis, but it is under
stood that she brings a message of good
will from her son, and which, taken in
connection with the sympathetic tele-
gram of coincidence sent by the emperor
to the royal family Immediately upon
the announcement of the death of
Prince Henry of Battenberg, will, 1t is
believed, have a tendency toward still
further dissipating the strained rela-
tions that have existed between the two
imperial families since the young em-
peror went off on a tangent.
