another's.

There is no warlike news from Berlir

SENATE COMMITTEE.
Would Set Fourth Monroe Doctrine in
Unmistakable Terms.

Washington, January 1.-THE Senate
committee on foreign relations held a
special meeting today. The Venezuelan,
Armenian and Cuban questions were dis.
cussed and there was free interchange
of views, but no effort was made to pass
upon the subjects. They were all referred
to sub committees, and no report there
from will be made to the Senate until
after the next meeting. A sub commit
tee was appointed and directed to prepare
joint resolution setting forth the MoIl-
roe doctrine, the full committee, by an
almost unanimous vote, deciding that
this doctrine should receive the affirma-
ton of Congress. The wording of the
resolution will be reported to the full
committee at the next meeting. Mr.
Gray was alone in his opposition to the
resolution. The report has gained Gre.
dence that England either has, or will, IN
the near future, make an offer of $500, 600
for the territory claimed by Great Bri-
tain and disputed by Venezuela.
Cuban affairs have been placed in the
hands of a sub committee consisting Of
Senators Sherman, Lodge and Morgan.
A meeting of this sub committee will be
hold in a few days and the whole matter
carefully considered. The sentiment of
the committee is practically unanimous
AL VI uho
The sentiment with respect to Arme-
MAN affairs was that it would be foolish
for this government to attempt to make
any demonstration against Turkey ualess
1t was intended to follow that show of
force with the exercise of force itself. 1t
can be stated with positiveness that the
mem ers of the committee are opposed to
any attempt on the part of the admins
tration- to send war ships to Turkey for
the purpose of making any further dem
onstrations. IL is denied that dozen
ships could accomplish more than one,
the only merit in the presence of ship
in Turkish waters being the flag it car
ries and the moral effect its presence may
produce. The committee will probably
dispose of the question finally in the
adoption of strong appeal to the E uro-
pean powers for the protection of the Ar
menians The only point at issue no "
is whether that appeal shall be addressed
to the allied powers or to Russia alone.
When this has been settled a joint resolu-
ton will be favorably reported to the
Senate.
