City of Mexico, April 1.-The presi-
dent delivered his message to congress
to-day. Touching on the Venezuelan
question and Monroe doctrine he said:
The Mexican government cannot but
declare its Partially for a doctrine
which condemns as criminal any at
tacks on the part of the monarchies

form and resources, and the torrents Of
bloodshed in that struggle, are suffi-
cient testimony to the world of our
love of independence and our abhor-
renee to all outside interference. But
II is our opinion that, to the United
States, on the immensely of it's re-
sources, belongs the obligation of as
sisting other republics of the hemis-
phere against the attacks of Europe, IL
such attacks are still to be considered
as possible; but for the attainment of
an end to which we all aspire, each one
of those republics ought, by means of
a declaration like that of President
Monroe, proclaim that every attack on
the part of a foreign power with a
view of curtailing territory or indepen-
dence or of altering the institutions of
any one of the republics of America,
would be considered by the nation
making such a declaration as an at
tack upon itself. In this manner the
doctrine now called by the name of
Monroe would become the doctrine of
America in the fullest sense of the
word, and although originating in the
United States, would belong to the in
ternational law of this continent

Missoula, April 1.-The democratic
city committee and prominent members
of the party met this evening in the
office of George b. Wilds and arranged
a plan of campaign for the municipal
election. There is great confidence of
success in the democratic ranks, and
the republicans are uncertain. A. p.
Tietjen, republican nominee for alder
man in the Second ward, and the
strongest man on the ticket, has posi-
lively refused to allow his name to be
used for that office, and this cripples
the ticket seriously. Mr.. Tietjen in
formed the republican convention of
this intention last night, but no action
was paid to his message. The republi-
can central committee has been in ses-
sion all evening and does not find much
encouragement in the present situa-

Missoula, April 1.-The progress of
the Northern Pacific contest in the
United States land Office is very slow,
and the first case, involving land in the
Upper Blackfoot valley, which was
classified as mineral by the commits
sioners has not yet been completed. The
examination of witnesses, both by the
railroad attorneys and by Mr.. Scales for
the government, is very close and de-
tailed. No point that could possibly af-
feet the determination of the character
of the land is overlooked, and the law
yers find some little amusement for
themselves in the nature of the replies
which are made to their queries. An
other day will probably conclude the
present case. The next contest that
will be called up is that involving the
Jumbo" section, east of Missoula.

FIREs-Shortly before 4 O'Clock Sun.
dag morning, the two story frame
house at the intersection of Royal and
Princess streets, occupied by Dougher.
ty & Nelson as barroom, was discov,
cred to be on fire. The alarm was
quickly turned in, and though the en-
gines responded very promptly, before
water could be gotten upon the fire
the entire interior of the house was a
mass of flames. Mr.. Thomas Brent,
who was asleep in the second story OF
the building, was awakened by the
cracking flames, and had to jump from
window. The fire is supposed to
have originated from an overheated
stove placed near a frame partition.
The house, which was almost entirely
destroyed, was the property of Mr..
John Harlow and the loss will be about
$500. The stock belonging to Nelson
was not insured. Mr.. Chas. Duffey,
foreman of the Columbia company, was
quite unfortunate at the fire. He was
accidently struck by streams of water
from both of the engines and one of his
eyes was badly injured.
Fire was discovered Saturday night
about $50 o'clock in the Baptist Church
on south Washington street by the jan
itor. 1t is supposed that the fire was
caused by defective fue. The flames
were extinguished before much damage
had been done. This is the second
time within the last year that fire has
been discovered in this church.
