Washington, JAM 9.-In the house to-
day, as soon as the journal had been read,
Mr.. Livingston, Democrat, of Georgia,
offered and had read the following res
olution:
Be it Resolved, by the house of repre-
sentatives, the senate concurfing, that the
president of the United States is hereby
requested forthwith to ascertain whether
Great Britain is advancing her outposts
on the territory in dispute between her
colony in British Guiana and the republic
Of Venezuela, or is reinforcing the posts
heretofore established with troops, police
or ordinance; and, should the president
become cognizant of the fact that Brit
ish military or police force is advancing
to invade or reinforce, or, since the 18th
day Of December last, has invaded or re-
inforced posts formerly occupied within
said disputed territory, that he demand
the immediate withdrawal of said soldiers
and the reduction of the police force in
said territory to not greater number
than we're occupying the British outposts
on the aforesaid 18th of December, 1896.
Mr.. Livingston asked for unanimous
consent to make brief explanation of
the resolution. Mr.. Boutelle, Republican,
of Maine, objected, and the resolution was
referred to the committee on foreign af-
fairs.
Mr.. Henderson, Republican, of Iowa,
gave notice that the report of the COM
mite on rules would be called up to.mor-
row, and at 1920 the house adjourned.
THE SENATE TO-DAY.
In the senate to-day, in presenting
some petitions from Norfolk, Va, in
favor Of liberal appropriations for sea
coast defeuses, Mr.. Daniels, of Virginia,
called attention to the alarm of the peo-
pie along the sea coast in view of the
rumors of war.
He thought that their apprehensions
of bombardment were exaggerated, but
expressed the belief that the sea coast
cities should be adequately fortified to
meet any emergency.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Chandler,
Republican, of New Hampshire, was
adopted, instructing the committee on
immigration to inquire whether any leg
islntion was necessary to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into The United States OF
aliens imprisoned by foreign countries
in their American colonies.
wANrED-FouR GOLD BUGS.
The anti-slver senators held confer
ence yesterday. They will try and defeat
the free coinage bill. 1t was found that
there are fourteen sure votes on the Dem
ocratic side against the silver PROPOSE
tion, and twenty-six Republicans who
could be counted against the Jones
amendment. This makes forty in all.
Four more votes will be necessary to have
a majority in the senate.
Both Democratic and Republican anti
silver men are now making an effort to
secure the necessary four votes.
MONROE DOCTRINE REAFF1RMED.
Mr.. Baker, Republican, offered the fol-
lowing resolution enunciating the extern
sion of the Monroe doctrine.
Resolved, That the United States will
regard it as an unfrlendly act for any
foreign power, without our consent, by
war treaty, purchase or otherwise, to ex-
tend it's territorial limits in the Western
Hemisphere on either of the American
continents, or to any leland adjacent
thereto, which this country deems neces-
sary for itself preservation; that the
United States reserves the right to be the
sole Judge of the necessity for the main
tenance of their national entirety; that the
principle here enunciated is founded in
the law of self preservation, which from
necessity inheres in and belongs to every
civilized nation, as sovereign and un-
alterable right, and that this principle is
attested by Washington's farewell ad-
dress and by President Monroe's ever
memorable message Of Dec. 2, 1928.
Mr.. Call, Democrat, of Florida, took
occasion before the resolution was re-
ferred to the foreign relations committee
to express the hope that the committee Q
on foreign relations would report reso-
luton for the recognition of the Cuban
belligerents.

dressed the senate, advocating the pass
age of the Elkins:s resolution, as amended
by Mr.. Butler, Of North Carolina, pro-
hibiting the sale of any bonds in the fu-
tnre except with the express consent of
the senate.
