Get Through.

Get Through.
Rome, Nov. 21.-A thorough piece of
work in the emotional tragedy line was
done recently at Novara, in Sicily. A
young woman who had been abandoned
by her lover induced her mother to help
her TO avenge herself, and the two. putting
on mems clothes and armed with daggers,
lay in wait in path along which the
lover was to pass.
They stabbed to death the first person
who came along. and then discovered that
they had killed the wrong man. 1t was
the brother Of the intended victim. The
latter appeared soon, however, and at once
strangled the mother. The daughter then
jumped into a pond near by and was
drowned. Thereupon the lover cut his
own throat.

and to the world that we would not

states) or controlling in any manner their
destiny by any European power IS any any
other light than as . manifestation Of
an unfriendly disposition towards the

alliance was preparing to aid Spain e
reinslave these states, and England said
amen at that time. Why is il not equal
" good doctrine now, when England
seeks to do what the holy alliance was
deferred from doing By that message
Remember that the United States had
already announced to the world that onr
government would not interfere in Eu-
ropean politics. As the converse of
this, and as a necessary coro llary TO it,
the Monroe doctrine was formulated and
promulgated. 3i5#ss
You argue against the Monroe doc
trine because our courts have not passed
on it. How could they pass on it 50 long
as it has not been violated?e
You say that congress cannot, by any
enactment or declaration Of its own, sane
toned by the president, make the Mon
roe doctrine part Of the public law Of
Europe and America. That remains to
be seen. We have already given the
world items Of international law. France
respected the Monroe doctrine as soona
the confederacy collapsed and gallant
Phil Sheridan was sent down to the Mex
lean line. Itseems to me that you mis-
take the whole scope and spirit Of that
doctrine when you assume that il can
only be invoked when there is physical
menace to our territory. It's aim and
spirit IS to protect the sister republics,
extending in bro ken line from the Do
minion Of Canada on the north to the
Straits 81 Magel Ian 81 the south, against
the hostile ass;gressio ns Of Euro can pow o'7-
ers. This, not only for the safety Of re-
publican inst buttons in general, but to
enable them to develop, untram ed
BY European control the great natural y +
resources Of their respective common mon.

An Anneal From Cuha-

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10-Tbe Press this morning publishes an appeal to the American people, signed by President Betancourt of the provisional government of Cuba, and craving recognition for the insurgents. Says the appeal:
 All we wish now Is to be look0d upon hy the government of the United States as men and soldiers battling for their birth right We do not wish to appear in the syes of the world like bandits and rabble.
 After rehearsing in detail the history of the United States struggle for freedom the appeal continues:
 We ask the American people to grant us. through their president and congress, those rights of belligerency to which. &C., cording to the laws of war and of nations, we are entitled. Our armies have marched whIther they might throughout the entire island and for weeks have threatened the stronghold of Spain's power in Cuba
