Mr.. Higbee was born In T.oga county, New
k;August IS, 1884, and came to Wisconsin in
1865, settling at StOughton, where he engaged in
the hotel business until 1880. In 1882. he removed
to Fort Atkinson, where he keptone of the most
popular hotels in the State until 1890, when he
removed to Waukesha, and thence to Dodge
Vile, March 1, 1895. He was very popular
landlord, an enterprisiDg and public spirited
citizen, an excellent neghbor and a kind and
loving husband and father. and his death will
be sincerely regretted throughout the wide cir
Gle of his acquaintance. He leaves widow. an
only daughter-Mrs. Z. j. Laughl.n-and a
brother, Mr.. j. j. Higbee, of at.ontown, Pa.
Rev. Mr.. Slade who knew him well writes:
Being of a naturally social nature, he had
taken the practical view of things, regardin
everything with reference to present uses, the
uses of good society. Christianity found his
heart chiefly, as it gave energy and direction to
those principles and affections which render us
good neighbors. sincere friends. useful men and
women, devoted to one anOther's welfare. The
articles of his creed were not many, perhaps
less than would satisfy many of US. But what
soeyer they were they led him to respect all good
men, not religious men in the accepted sense of
that word particularly, but men of virtuous lives
true to their integrity, useful, kindhearted men,
above mean and sordi action. IL led him to
detest all cam, all mere profe ,sons, aud sancti-
monious seeming.

The banquet of the Non Conformist
Unionist Association at the Hotel Me-
tropole on the night of January 81, was
the occasion of an address by the Mar
quis of Salisbury. Prime Minister and
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
In the course of his remarks he said
with reference to Venezuela:
II have been held up as the denoun-
Ger of the Monroe doctrine. AS a mat
ter of fact. although the Monroe doc
trine is no part of international law, my
dispatch to Mr.. Olney. the Secretary of
State, of the United States, supported it
as a rule of policy in the strongest and
most distinct terms.
But when l stated in that dispatch
and reiterate now that. as rule now of
policy we are the entire advocates of
the Monroe doctrine as President Mon
roe understood it. (Cheers.) In that
sense you will not find any more con-
sistent supporters than we are"
Lord Salisbury then turned abruptly
to the Armenian question, and he re-
preached the religious communities
with laboring under a mistake when
they supposed that England had bound
herself in honor to succor the Armeni-
ans, which means to go to war with the
Sultan in order to force him to govern
the Armenians we'll.

AN editorial in the London Chronicles
NiberaD this morning describes Lord
Salisbury's speech as the most amazing
utterances that ever fell from the lips
of the Governor of great empire at the
crisis of its fortune, adding: Lord Pal
merston, in his widest after dinner es
capades, could not have beaten it. 1t
will do England grevous harm In the
eyes of the world. He bestowed but
one word upon America, and it had
better have been unspoken. We take
leave to tell him that he is playing with
fire again. He should have said either
less or more. His confession of failure
with regard to Armenia is most igno.
minious admission"
The Times says of the speech: Lord
Salisbury's tone with reference to Ar
menia was apologize. and his explana-
tons were rather unusual. But they
will convince all fair-minded men that
the fault does not lie with the British
government"
The Daily News Niberal comments
upon Lord Salisbury's address as fol-
lows: "The little monster who gloats at
Constantinople over the butcheries will
receive Lord Salisbury's statement as
glad tidings. 1t will be read with mex
pressible shame by thousands of decent
men and women in England. We might
at least abstain from encouraging the
Sultan in his hellish work."

ADMIRAL WALKER appeared before the
committee on coast defenses at Wash.
ington on the Sd inst. and made an ex-
haustive statement on the subject of
coast defenses from naval point of
view. The admiral stated that while of
course he advocates the construction Of
thoroughly effective naval force he
fully recognizes the absolute necessity
of land defenses. He considers one form
of defense to be the complement of the
other and both as necessary as cavalry
and artillery are to an army. He deems
the land defenses to be necessity as a
means of protection to the country by
leaving the navy free to operate outside,
and affording safe places of refuge in
case of the naval forces being over
matched by superior feet of an enemy.
also to afford the means of repairing
damages, and obtaining supplies and
coal under the shelter and protection of
the forts,
