What the President omitted i'm the
enuncistion OF the MONROE doctrine is to
be founn in the DAVIS resolution that is
to be acted upon in the Senate at an early
dste, that the full meaning of the doctrine
may have a full and authoritative express

The President in his message hesitoted
TO assert that not only "could not be
viewed" further conquest on the Ameri-
can continent by European power "in
any other light than as Ipanifestat ion
of an unfriendly disposition toward the
United States" but that the language,
depressing them, or controlling In any

tendance OF from Ave to thirty-six pupils
to each school, making 4 total enrolment
for the year OF IOil scholars. Nearly 200
have been turned from idolatry to Chris

fully converted. There are now about 800
Chinese Christians in California con-
nected with A. NJ. A. Missions, and since
the beginning OF the work more than 100
have given hopeful evidence OF being con-
verted to the teachings of Jesus. Thirty
per cent. OF the total number OF pupils
have been sent awsy f.om Indian schools
during the past three years because there
were not sufficient funds 10 conduct
them. There are six chartered institu-
tions snd 30 normal and graded schools.
From Fisk University, alone. more than
1900 students are now scattered over
the land.
The work among the two and half

The health department OF Providence
is noted for lis efficiency and no one is
disposed 10 cTiticise is work. but there
are some things that people would Ike
In know about. For instance, down 4
the First Ward. and the most thickly set
tied part OF it, there Is a vault, which is
a nuisance 10 the people residing in the
vicinity, IL there ever wes such thing.
J his vault is situated Immediately under
the WINDOWS OF sleeping rooms iE an ad-
joining house and the people who occupy
them say in summer time the stencil aris-
ing from this vault is overpowering.
The owner has been requested many times
to abste this nuisance. but has paid no
attention TO the requests. Moreoger il
is said the attention OF the heath depart
ment has been more than once called 10
the matter, but the nuisance has not been
ahated. Now what the people want to
know Is why the owner OF this property
is not compelled TO connect bis premises
with the sewer and nhate a nuisance
which Is oorstant monaco TO he health
OF the people IN that part of tie city. II
The department. cannot move in such cases
