Senator SeWell.s Views.

The resolution heretofore offered by Mr..
Seweil (Rep.. N. J.), placing limitations on
the Monroe doctrine and condemning tho
Presidents message on the subject, was
taken up and Mr.. Sewell addressed the
Senate upon it. Mr.. Sewell declared that
the position taken in President Cleveland's
Venezuelan message was far in advance of
what was contemplated by the Monroe
doctrine. 1t was new departure and
really meant a protectorate over Mexico and
over the States OF South and Central America.
No matter whether these States be right or
wrong in any conflict with a European
Power, the United States would be bound
tunder Mr.. ClevelaEd's view)t to furnish men
and munitions OF war, and force enough to
protect them against European Powers.
Congress had quite enough to do now If
It addressed itself to the ordering Of do
mestic economies. It seemed hardly wise to
have thrown into the political arena just at
this time such further cause for disorder and
disturbance. The resolution was allowed
to remain on the table.

General Campos's health has been impaired

sorry to be relieved of the burden OF the sole
responsibility for Cuban affairs.
General Marin is nearly sixty years old.
He was Captain-Genera raj Of Cuba In 1883,
and his policy ut that time was such as to
lead to the belief that he will be largely
controlled by the Conservative party In

The Davis Resolution Fayorably Re-
ported to the Senate.
MESSAGE OF 1923 REAFFIRMED.

Mainland or Islands, PermItted---C Con-
troll of Any Canal Which May Be Con-
structed Connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans Included.
The concurrent resolution adopted by the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations as to
the extent and meaning Of the Monroe doc
trine was presented to the United States Sem
ate through Mr.. Davis (Rep.. Minn.), by
whomit was originally drawn up. The re-
port comes after seven weeks Of considera-
tion.
The full text of the Davis resolution IS as
follows:
Whereas. President Monroe in his message
to Congress of December 2, Ammo Domtni,
1898, deemed 1t proper to assert as princi-
pie In which the rights and interests of the
United States are involved that the Ameri-
can continents. by the free and Independent
condition that they have assumed and main
tanned. were thenceforth not to be considered
as subjects for future colonization by any
European Power;
And, whereas, President Monroe further
declared in that message that the United
allied Powers of Europe to extend their sys-
tenn to any portion of this hemisphere as dan
gerous to our peace and safety; that with
the existing colonies and dependencies
OF any European Power We have not inter-
tered and should not interfere; but that with
the Governments who have declared their
independence and maintained 1t. and whose
independence we have on great considera-
tion and on just principles acknowledged,
we could not view any interposition for the
purpose Of depressing them, or controlling
in any other manner their destiny, by any
European Power, in any other light than as
the manifestation of an unfriendly DISPOSE
tion toward the United States; and further
reiterated In that message that it ls impossi-
BILE that the allied Powers should extend their
political system to any portion Of either con-
tinent without endangering our peace and
happiness:
And whereas. the doctrine and policy so
proclaimed by President Monroe have since
been repeatedly asserted by the United States.
by executive declaration and action upon oc-
casions and exigencies similar to the particu-
lar occasion and exigency which caused
them to be first announced, and have been
ever since their promulgation, and now are,
the rightful policy OF the United States;
Therefore, be it resolved. that the United
States OF America reaf1rms and confirms
the doctrine and principles promulgated by
President Monroe In his message of Deem
Der 2, 1923, and declares that it will assert
and maintain the doctrine and those prin-
,oiplee, and will regard any infringement
thereof, and particularly any attempt by
any European Power to take or acquire any
new or additional territory on the American
Continent. or any island adjacent thereto,
or any right Of sovereignty or dominion in
the same. In any case Of instance as to
which the United States shall deem such at
tempt to be dangerous to its pence or
safety, by or through force, purchase. ces-

Mr.. Crush Talks ofthe Big Collision Next
Mouth.

Mr.. Crush Talks ofthe Big Collision Next
Mouth.
Mr.. w. g. Crush, the energetic
general passenger agent OF the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
road, has nothing on his mind now
save grand scientific show he is
preparing for men of all political
parties. This Is to outrival any
thing ever pulled off in Texas. 1t
will be in the shape OF railroad
collision, Of which the LIGHT has
informed its readers, and which
will take place on September Is
between Waco and Hillsboro.
Mr.. Crush says he will invite the
governor to see it. Continuing he
says: "There will be no harm
done save the smashing to pieces
OF two forty-ton passenger engines,
a dozen cars and the tearing up OF
several hundred yards of track and
road bed. The engines will be
used for scrap iron If they are dam
aged beyond repair, and the track
will be cleared and mended in a
jiffy. The idea is to turn the en-
gines loose at full speed about two
miles from the place of contact,
and all who want to can be on hand
to see what the result will be. The
day before the collision the track
over which the engines will be run
will be timed so that the point of
contact may be definitely ascer
tained. In this way we will know
almost within ten yards Of where
the meeting will take place. By
means OF a telegraph wire put up
for the occasion, the engineers will
be given the signal for the start,
and each throttle will be pulled
simultaneously. The engineers
will remain on the engines until
each has attained q speed of ten
miles per hour, at which point
they will pull the throttle wide
open and step off. Each engine
will carry $50 pounds of steam.
Railroad men from all over the
west will be on hand to see the
sight and Photographic observa-
tions will be taken every second
for ten seconds before the collision.
Engine builders are now deeply
interested in furnishing engines
with appliances which will lessen
the shock of the collision, and con.
sequently make them less danger
RI 1ifn OF
nothing is looked for that will save
the engines from serious damage,
but it may be that one engine may
be made to climb the other and
possibly save the coaches from
piIing on top of each other. The
collision will undoubtedly prove of
great value TO railroad mechanics,
ih that they will get valuable sug-
gestlons."| '
