REAFFIRMED AND CON.
FIRMED.

Washington, Jan 1.-THE Senate
committee on foreign relations dis
cussed for two hours this morning the
Monroe doctrine, aud finally by vote,
ordered a report 90 the resolution sub
mitted by Mr.. Davis Of Minnesota,
chairman Of the subcommittee. Mr.,
Turpie. at whose request the matter vas
laid over until to-day, made an argu-
ment against the affirmation By con-
gress Of the doctrine az genera!
principle. He believed it was sufi-
cient for the doctrine to be applied
when speci ic cases arose. He favored
its application to the pending difficulty
between Vene. ella and Great Britain
but thought that it should rest there
for the present.
Mr.. Gray of Delaware vas opposed
to any motion whatever that had for its
object the affirmation Of the doctrine
by legislative action. lie believed the
whole subject was one iu which the
legislative department Of the govern
ment alone should act. AND that upon
that branch Of the governu ept end nor
congress rested the responsibility Of
enforcing or Dot the doctrine laid down
by Monroe.
Neither OF toese arguments had
any weight with the committee. They
we're combatted by Senators Sherman,
Lodge, Morgan aud others.
Mr.. Mills one Of the new mem 5ers
of the committee, au ardent admirer of
Jefferson, was one Of the most enthusi-
astic supporters of the affirmation of
the doctrine The vote to adopt the
Davis resolution was agreed to after one
or two alterations in the verbiage had
been maize. The committee also decid-
ed to vote upon the motion OF Mr.
Sherman. that the action Of the CON-
mittee and the text of the resolution
should not be given ou, until that was
reported to the senate Monday next.
Davis was requested to give notice
when be reported the resolution that he
should cal it up at the earliest possible
moment. This resolution goes even
farther than did the President in his
message to Congress on the Venezue-
Ian question. It will, if passed, CON-
nit the congress to policy from which
there can be no back down, aud there
appears to be no doubt as to the ulti-
mate result oD the resolution.
Omitting the two wbereases, which
simply form prelude to the more Sc
rious utterances of the resolution itself,
it is said thas it will be found, when the
text is made public, that it reafirms
and confirms the Monroe doctrine and
declares that the United States will
assert and maintain it. 1t states spe
cifcally that this government will re-
gard as an infringement of this doc
triue, any attempt on the part of any
European power to acquire new or
additional territory on this continent
or the islands adjacent thereto, as dan
gerous to the safety and peace of the
United States. Tho United States also
denies the right Of any European
power to acquire aoy territory either by
force, purchase. cession, occupation,
pledge, colonization or protection,
whether under unfounded pretensions
of right, under the gaise of boundary
disputes, or otherwise, aud declares
uomistakably that any such attempt
will be regarded as manifestation of
an unfriendly disposition upon which
this government cannot look with in
difference

VARIOUS THEORIES.
Speculation as to How the SchOltz Shoot.
ing OCCurred... ..Victim Still Alive
but Very Weak.

Frank Scholz. the victim of Tuesday
nights mysterious shooting affray, was
still alive at II o'clock last night. His
condition remained unchanged. except
that hc had a weak spell during the af-
ternoon. The hospital physicians say
that his condition is critical, but he may
recover
Couny Detective Leyshon is of the
opinion that the shooting was done by
blackmailers, and that it was uninten-
tional The spot where the affair oc-
CURED is Il favorite resting place for
bicycle riders. Not infrequently young
couples who halt there are surprised by
thugs rcnresenting themselves as spe-
cial officers and frightened into paying
bacl.mail to escape threatened arrest
and exposure. Since the shooting oc-
cured the police have learned that this
ncfarioiIS practice has been carried on
at this point quite as generally as at
Nay Aug Falls. some years ago, and at
Fairlawn. previous to the Guro shoot
ing.
The county detective believes that
ScholZ was approached by pair of
these leeches and that when he refused
to grant their demands they proceeded
To carry out their threat Of arrest at
the point of a revolver. In the scufiie
that cnsued ScholZ grabbed the revol-
Yer and it was accidentally discharged.
Mr.. LeyShon argues that the wound in
SchOlz's right hand is Il substantiation
Of his theory.
The other theory that Scholz was
mistaken for some one else and that the
assailant was a jealous husband and
friend is more favored by the police.
They believe TIA" story as told by
SchulZ and the Clark girl and hold that
the latter theory is tn" only one that
will dovetail with their stories. which

FIRST SUGAR FROM ARGENTINE
The British steamship Oswestry, which
arrived at the Delaware Breakwater
for orders on Sunday, brought the first
cargo of cane sugar ever shipped to
this country from the Argentine Re-
public, South America. The steamer
has 1885, bags of sugar in her cargo,
and is still awaiting orders.
There is not enough sugar grown in
the Argentine Republic to supply the
demand; but the government wants the
industry encouraged, and Captain Will
son, of the Oswestry, says the growers
are paid a bounty of two cents on q
pound to export the product.
This gives the growers chance to
make profit by exporting, and again
importing the cargo directly back to
the Republic of Argentine, as the two
cents bounty paid BY that government
will more than pay the expenses both
ways. By so doing it is thought that
in short while sugar raising will be
the principal industry of the country.

WRIT OF MANDAMUs.-Prince Au-

the Metropolitan Club of Washington
have been frequently matter of pub

the front by filing a suit for writ OF
mandamus to compel the club to re-
scind the order of expulsion, which de-
prived him of membership. He COM
plains of the injustice done him by the
club officials. The secretary notified
him, he says, April % last, to appear
before the board of governors to an
swer charges preferred against him, but
no specifications we're furnished. The
president, he says, vouchsafed him no
explanation, except to inform him that
he had been accused of making scan.
dalous charge in the club against him,
but upon denying the accusation and
asking for opportunity to explain for
the information of the club and in his
own defense, he was requested to re-
tire.
