He Thinks the Dispute Between England
and 1his Country Will BE AmicaDly
Settled, Hut That tho Monroe Doctrine
Must BE Upheld.
Washington, Dec. 80. I'm the Senate
to- day, Senator Lodge, r., MASS. }
made a speech upon tho Venezuelan
question.
Mr.. Lodge gave very interesting
sketch of the story of the Monroe doc
trine, and told how it was vitality in
volved in the Venezuelan boundary line
controversy. He followed this with a
brief relation of the pending dipsute
between Great Britain and Venezuela,
which he said had now reached a
crisis affecting most gravely the honor,
the interests, the rights and the we'll
settled policy of the United States
If England, with no authority but a
disputed claim, seized territory and
declined arbitration upon it, her ac-
tion, he declared, did not differ from
seizing and holding new territory in
the Americas by right of conquest. If
she could seize territory under claim
which had grown larger with each
succeeding year, there was nothing to
prevent nor taking indefinite regions in
South America.
The Senator referred to the claim
made on Venezuela by Great Britain
for reparation on account of the arrest,
by the authorities of the former coun-
try, of British subjects ON the disputed
territory. But the question of repara-
tion, he declared must not be mixed
up with the ACQUISITION of territory.
If Venezuela paid the indemnity fixed
and demanded by Great Britain, she
acknowledged in so doing that the dis
puted country is British territory and
made the whole case void.
We had, he continued, neglected too
long our foreign policy and the great
interests of the United States which
lay beyond her borders. We wanted
the boundary dispute settled by arbi-
tration, because if settled otherwise it
was a blow to vital principle to the
welfare and dignity of the United
States. He did not believe the people
of England had the least desire to en-
gage in hostilities with the United
States, any more than we sought or
desired hostilities with them.
''We have, said Senator Lodge, ''seen
British forces at Corinto. We know
the attitude they assume In Venezuela.
They are attempting to take land on
the Alaskan boundary. They have just
denounced the modus viyendi and re-
opened in that way the perilous dispute
of the seal fisheries 1t is not by acci-
dent that these events have all come to
an acute stage within the past year. "
The Senator closed by expressing the
belief that the questions between Eng
land and the United States would be
peaceably settled, but he was very
clear that such settlement could only
be reached by action on the part of
Congress and the President which
should be as firm it was temperate,
and which should maintain the Monroe
doctrine absolutely and at all hazards,
wherever it Justly applied.

Johannesburg, South African Repub.
lie, Dec. 30. The political crisis here,
brought about by the efforts of the
foreign population to obtain equal
political right with the Beers, has
reached most acute stage. The exodus
of women and childrn is increasing.
All trains leaving this place are crowded
and the prices OF food stutfs have risen
greatly.
The Mercantile Association has
formed itself into town body guard,
for the purpose of preserving order and
protecting life and property. They
will not take part in revolution or
riot of any kind, and have asked the
government to supply them with arms
and ammunition. Several of the lead
ing mines are expected to close to-day.
President Kruger, in an interview
with representative of the Associated
Press, expressed regret at the present
agitation and said:
''If the position is aggravated, many
disastrous consequences are to be ap-
pretended, and especially in mining
and commercial enterprises. The pres
ent attitude of the Uitlanders does not
conduce to calm consideration of their
alleged grievances. The government
will give them an opportunity for free
speech on their grievances, such as
does not incite to rebellion; but the
government is fully prepared to stop
any movement aiming at disturbance
of law and order.

moan To THE R1EER.
The Street and Sewer Department Wants
Its Necessity Demonstrated.


The Street and Sewer Directors an
swer to the Board of Trade committee
on road to the river was agreed dAupon
at the meeting Of the directors Monday
night. Mr.. Pratt read a paper he had
prepared, in which the proposition of
road to the river was discussed.
The directors said they would be
glad to do anything that will advance
the prosperity of the city, but they
were responsible for the expenditure Of
the city's money and as the necessity
for an avenue to the river had not yet
been shown to them, they must abstain
from taking any action.
No definite route had been suggested,
but when the Board of Trade COM
mittee has looked into the matter more
carefully and has route to suggest,
the directors would be glad to hold an
other conference.
Mr. Pratt's paper was in full accord
with the views of the other directors.
.That's all right; that's our feeling on
that matter, remarked President
Chambers. "Thats all right; that
strikes me-" said Mr. Simmons. And
Secretary Wiley, who had prepared Il
paper on the same subject, was more
pleased with Mr.. Pratt's way of putting
it than with his own. Mr.. Wiley was
directed to send copy of Mr.. Pratt's
paper to the Board OF Trade committee.
A set of rules submitted by tho Mas
ter Plumbers Association was before
the directors The association was
represented by James +. Traynor.
Plumbing Inspector Kane also sub
mitted some proposed amendments to
tho rules.
Tho directors discussed substitute
for section of tho rules, in which are
given the qualifications necessary be-
fore license may be secured, and an
nual registration is required. No final
action was taken, however, and the
whole matter will be gone into. at some
other time.
A petition was received from the
trustees of the Providence A. U. M. p.
Church asking the board to establish
Douglass street, so that the trustees
may erect their church building. Doug
lass street is between Seventh and
Eighth and du Pont and Scott streets.
The city engineer will fix the grade.
The Wilmington City Railway Co.
will be notified to look after some holes
on Delaware avenue between the rails.
The pay-rolls were passed as follows:
Weekly, 1896. 90; monthly, $500; quar-
terly, 1915. Tho secretary reported col
lections of S247. 50; city auditor report
