A FIRM STAND.
The Senate Committee Defines
Monroe Doctrine.
1t is a FOrcible Measure and
Very Explicit.
NO FOREIGN MEDDLING
Uncle Sam Will be Judge of
Arbitration.
Pension Bill Passes With But
Short Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The resolu-
ton drawn by Senator Davis and
adopted by the Senate committee on
foreign relations yesterday, will prove
to be a clear and strong enunciation
of the Monroe doctrine when its text
is made public. 1t is a more forcible
declaration than any that has been in
troduced in Congress on this subject,
and its terms are so explicit that they
cannot be misunderstood.
The maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine as set forth in the resolution,
is held to be vital to the welfare of
this country and the countries of the
American continent. The doctrine, it
is asserted, is now in force. and has
been in force ever since it was es-
tablished by President Monroe. The
resolution declares it to mean the
acquisition, by purchase, aggression
or otherwise, of any territory on the
American continent, by foreign
power is an unfriendlv act, and such
acquisition will not be permitted by
the United States.
The most important feature is that
which touches upon q new phase of
the Venezuela question-the report
that England and Venezuela may
reach an agreement and that English
money will settle the boundary dis
pute. The resolution declares that
when boundary disputes on the Amer
lean continent between foreign gov
ernments and American governments
are decided by arbitration, agreement,
purchase, or in any manner whatever,
the United States shall be the sole
Judge as to whether the Monroe doc
trine has been violated in such arbitra-
ton, or agreement. In fact, it means
that arbitration or agreement between
foreign governments and governments
of the American continent as to bound
airy disputes cannot become binding or
effective unless sanctioned by the
United States, and this government is
satisfied that no part of the American
continent has been coded to foreign
power by such arbitration or agree
ment. This practically makes the
United States the arbitrator between
foreign governments and those of the
American continent in all boundary
disputes.
This portion of the resolution is con-
sidered most important and far-reach-
ing in its effects. 1t caused misa p
prehension among some members of
the committee, as it is claimed that it
may lead to many entanglements. On
the other hand, the supporters of the
resolution say it leaves everything i'll
the hands of the United States, where
the final decision should be, and that
the United States will interfere only
when the Monroe doctrine has been
violated.
The resolution is drawn with a view
of covering every possible contingency
that may arise in boundary disputes,
or the acquisition or sale of territory
by one foreign government to another
on the American continent. or islands
that are considered a part of the
Western hemisphere.

How Music Assists Aorobats.

As everybody knows, during the per-
fornance of acrobats or jugglers in cir
Gus or variety theater, the band usually
plays an inspiriting march or a dreamy
waltz, according to the nature of the
feats. 1t is generally believed that the
selection of airs played under these cir
cumstances is left to the leader of tho Or
chestra, but this is quite wrong.
AS a fact, acrobats and jugglers are
amazingly particular as to their music,
and invariably carry their own band parts
from one place of entertainments to anoth-
er where they may happen to be engaged.
1t is easily conceivable that, when man
has become used to certain piece of mu-
sic, he would be considerably distracted
by an unfamiliar piece played during the
performance of dangerous and delicate
feats-more especially when the new mu-
sic is played in different time and key.
Paul Cinquevalli recently told London
newspaper man that if a band plays his
music too fast or too slow he is actually
compelled to time his feats accordingly,
and his performance proportionately suf-
fers. The writer was also informed by the
leader of the orchestra at celebrated Lon
gymnasts are accustomed to rehearse with
the band precisely in the way that vocal
lists do, and my Informant attributes a
somewhat serious accident to trapezist,
of which he was once a witness, to the fact
that some members of the band had on
that particular night been indulging too
freely in stimulants, and the music was
consequently little cratic.

His Privilege.

Pride of ancestry is being forgotten in
these end of the century days. I was only
looking at some photographs of the Irish
nobleman who died few days ago and
wondering if there was anything in the
bearing of the gentleman in a somewhat
shabby frock coat and baggy kneed trou-
sers which in any way denoted that he and
his forefathers had been peers of the realm
of Ireland for nearly 700 years. AS you
doubtless have heard, the barons of Kin
sale, chiefs of the De Courcy family, are
permitted to wear their hats in the pres
enee of the reigning monarch, and each
peer il turn makes a point of appearing
before his sovereign and keeping his hat
on for a second or two in the presence.
This act was performed by the late Lord
Kinsale before Queen Victoria, but it was
done in the open air at garden party at
which he was invited at Windsor castle.
On being presented to her majesty he
position he put on his hat, white one, so
the story goes. and stood in front of the
astonished queen and gazed at her until
she involuntarily retired step backward.
Then Lord Kinsale removed his hat, again
bowed lowly and passed on. The prince
consort, by whom the ancient privilege
was suddenly remembered, burst out
laughing and reminded the queen of the
De Courcy privilege, and she at once
joined in her husbands mirth. but, !"
said her majesty, Lord Kinsale under
any circumstances should keep his hat off
in the presence of a lady. "-London

A Popular FaIlacy.

There is widespread impression among
medical men and the public at large that
there is little or no danger attending the
removal of the tonsils, and instruments
for this purpose are found in the possession
of almost every practitioner in the land.
An eminent surgeon declares that remov-
ing the tonsils is an operation attended
with a great deal of risk. One reason for
this seems to be that in cutting there is
danger of approaching near the large ar
teries, or, at all events, tapping small
veins that may cause alarming hemor-
rhage. This physician gives an account
Of the removal of the tonsils from the
throat of boy, when he was obliged to
hold the parts with his fingers for several
hours to arrest the hemorrhage that threat
ened the youths life. Having no appli-
ances at hand for checking the hemor-
rhage, which was entirely unlocked for,
he came very near losing his patient. The
general practitioner is warned against too
free use of these instruments. Indeed it
is as well to be very wary in cutting the
tonsils at all, and not to operate upon
them unless it is absolutely necessary, and
then only remove sufficient surface to
relieve the mechanical obstruction caused
by their enlargement.-NewY York Ledger.

turned my back on the Harrison home
stead and walked to my hotel.
The suggestion that General Harrison
may return to the senate comes, believe,
from Democratic sources. No Republican
takes it seriously, possibly because the Re-
publicans of Indiana still hope to see Mr..
Harrison made president, in spite or
himself if need be- But there Is really
nothing preposterous in the idea.
John Quincy Adams solved that oft dis
cussed problem, what shall we do with
our presidents?' by coming back to the
house of representatives. In the light OF
his record Mr.. Harrison would not lose
dignity by returning to the senate, and
there is no doubt he would find the duties
of a senator congenial. That Republic
ans do not consider Mr.. Harrison fac
tor in the senatorial contest is evident
from the fierce fight now going on between
two rival railroad men-Fairbanks and
McKeen. Mr.. McKeen has just resigned
his place at the head of the Vandalia road
for the purpose of making a free footed
campaign.
One other story has been associated
with Mr.. Harrison's name recently-that
he said the members of the house at Wash
ington had acted like a pack of fools
about Venezuela But that yarn carried
its contradiction on its face

DUN'S REVIEW.
Business Men Are Much Perp1exed by the
Present Situation.

Present Situation.
New YORK, JAN. 1s.-R. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
THE situation could hardly be more
perplexing for business men. Practi-
cal merchants, manufacturers or bank
ers can have little sympathy for those
who minimize their difficulties. No
one doubts that the government will
raise money to meet obligations, but
how far the money market will be dis
turbed or the treasury reserve first
diminished, no one can say. The bus
mess world cannot know as yet how
far foreign questions may upset calcu-
1atlons, though there seems to be
every reason to expect peaceful settle
ment.
1T cannot know what may be the
duties on any important article in the
important class of imports a month
hence; whether imports are likely to
exceed exports and draw away gold;
whether the deficit of revenue will
continue, or what other taxation will
be levied. Failure of the Senate to
take any action upon financial
measures proposedsby the president, or
those passed by the House affects I'M
favorably all branches of business.
Under such adverse circumstances it is
actually encouraging that shrinkage
in transactions and resulting CONNER
cisl disasters have not been greater.
But four large failures within day or
two indicate that the same condition
cannot continue without much en-
barraSsment.

he is not. I heard Governor Matthews
say he believed Mr.. Harrison would be the
nominee of his party. Republicans do not
deny that possibility, and it seems to be
accepted very generally that Indiana's vote
in the national convention will be cast for
Mr.. Harrison.
Harry New, the editor of The Journal,
says there has never been any question
about In0iana's attitude; that Indiana
vote has been taken for granted. But it
is understood that Indiana is not to pre-
sent Mr.. Harrison's name, and that if his
name comes before the convention it will
be suggested by some other state I don't
mean that it will be suggested formally.
1t is quite likely that Mr.. Harrison
wishes will be considered, and he will not
be placed in nomination unless some fool
friend presents it,
Indiana's Vote Is For Harrison.
But if any state which comes before In
diana in the roll call votes for Mr.. Harri-
son-and there is no doubt he will receive
quite number of votes at the beginning
of the call-then Indiana's delegation will
cast a solid vote for him.
There will be hush of expectancy all
over the convention hall as the chairman
of the Indiana delegation arises and an
outbreak of enthusiasm when the vote is
announced which will make this probably
one of the memorable dramatic incidents
A man who was very close to Mr.. Har-
rison during his administration told me
in Washington recently that he understood
Indianas strength WAS to go to Allison
when it was evident that Harrison could
not be nominated.
Mr.. New says there is no such under
standing. He says the feeling toward Mr..
Allison in Indiana is of the kindest, and
it should be, for AIlison's friends nomi-
mated Harrison eight years ago. But he
says there has been no conference and
there is no understanding about Indiana's
vote except the general understanding that
it will be cast for Benjamin Harrison. Up
to the present time Mr.. Harrison has no
legatee.
I have heard Mr.. Harrison quoted re-
Gently, however, by a member of his cabi-
net as speaking in warm praise of Mr.. AL
1ison. They were not close friends when
Mr.. Harrison was in the senate, but they
held each other in the highest mutual ro-
spect, and think the ex-president would
rather see Allison nominated than have
either Reed or Mckinley get the prize, but
this Is merely personal speculation.
What Mr.. Harrison said about Mr.. ALI
son bore on that charge so frequently made
against the Iowa senator that he is a
trimmer. Mr.. Harrison took up Mr..
-Allison's defense very warmly, am in

PENSION BILL PASSED.
Fifty Days Ahead of Any Previous PEN
sion Augmentation Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The house
yesterday passed the pension appro-
priation bill, to the consideration of
which it has devoted the entire week,
and then adjourned until Monday.
Mr.. Bartlett, Democrat, raised points
of order against all new legislation
proposed in the way of amendments,
such as that looking to making a pen
sion of vested right etc, and Mr..
Dingley of Maine, who was in the
chair sustained them. In this way
the clause in the bill so changing ex-
listing laws as to allow widows to OBJ
tain pensions under the act of 1890,
whose net income does not exceed
$500 per annum was stricken out
Mr.. Bartlett, however, did not raise
the point against the provision maxi
ing pensions under the act of 1890,
which were rejected, suspended or dis
missed, and afterwards allowed, date
from their first application
1t was announced in the deba tie that
the bills covering the amendments
ruled out would be reported from the
invalid pensions committee. the pen
sion bill as passed carries Sal, 335, $50,
about $50, 600 less than the estimate.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. lex President
Harrison's visit to Washington on legal
business is sure to re-create interest and
speculation about his attitude toward the
presidency. find variety of views ex-
pressed here, each on what seems to be ex-
cellent authority.
Mr.. Harrison is a receptive candidate.
Mr.. Harrison is an active candidate. Mr..
Harrison is a passive candidate. Mr.. Har-
rison is not q candidate at all. Mr.. Har-
rison would take the nomination if offered
to him. Mr.. Harrison would not take the
nomination from a gold salver. Mr.. Har-
rison looks with horror on the possibility
of being nominated. Mr.. Harrison is
thinking seriously of being candidate for
his old place in the senate. The sugges-
ton of Mr.. Harrison's name for senator is
preposterous.
All these things have heard in Indian
apolis from apparently competent author
ity. Some of them are not nearly SO alb
surd as the stories which are photographed
to the country from this city. Not long
ago a correspondent sent out the text of a
message supposed to have been telegraphed
by General Harrison engaging rooms at a
St. Louis hotel for convention week. The
story was told so circumstantialy that
some people in St. Louis wrote to General
Harrison rendering him quarters.
All of this offers some explanation of
the state of mind in which found the ex-
president when I called on him recently
and told him 1 was in indianapolis for the
purpose of writing something about him.
"These publications are very annoying
to me, - he said. The statement is not
surprising when you consider what some
of the publications are.
One general division of sentiment seems
to shape itself for me out of the confusion
of views 1 have heard here. Democrats
seem to believe Mr.. Harrison a candidate
while Republicans express the belief that

ally Announced.
New YORK, Jan. 18.-The fact that
General Harrison had an important
statement to make drew a large crowd
of politicians and others to the cor
ridors of the Fifth Avenue hotel last
night. Many of the politicians
expected that General Harrison
would make a declaration as to
his candidacy for President, and
were disappointed when they
heard that the General talked
of matrimonial affairs instead of poll
tics. At the appointed time Mr.. lib
bits, the generals private secretary,
made the following statement in his
room, where he received the members
of the press:
General Harrison authorizes the
announcement that he and Mrs Dim
mick are engaged to be married, and
that the marriage will not take place
until after Lent"
When the secretary finished reading
the announcement he refused to say
anything further, other than that eX-
