Washington, Jan. 31.--Secretary Ol- ney declines to discuss the dispatch to Berlin newspaper purporting to have emanated from Washington to effect that Consul General Dekay had been selected to succeed the late Ambassador Runyon.

REBUTTED BY SALISBURY
ENGL1ND'S PRIMER REPLIES TO REMARKS OF JOHN MORLEY.

It Was Called Forth on the Question or the
 Monroe Dactrine--He Expresses Sympa-
 thy With the Armenians-uis Prediction
 Regarding Great Britain,
 London, Jan. 31.-Premier Salisbury delivered a speech here tonight, in the course of which he rebutted the state ments made Thursday night by John Morley to the electors at Arbroath con- corning the Monroe doctrine. MT Mor- ley said Lord Salisbury had blundered in seeming to question the Monroe doc Urine, and that if there ever was ques- tion that should be arbitrated it was the Venezuelan boundary question.
 Lord Salisbury said tonight that, al- though the doctrine formed no part of international law, his dispatch to Sec retary of State Olney supported it as rule of policy as strongly and distinctly as possible, but in the form which Mon roe understood it. The lrlmier express ed sympa thy with the Armenians, but denied that England was under an ob- ligation to declare war against the sul- tan in order to compel him to govern justly, and cited the treaties in proof of his contention. He ascribed the atrocities to the passions of race and creed. He believed that the sultan's government was wretched and impo- tent, but there was no ground for i'm agining that the sultan had instigated the massacres. It might be asked why Europe did not int;rfere. He could only answer for England, She had lacked the power to do the only thing necessary to end the troubles-to militarily occupy Turkish provinces. None of the powers wished so to occupy them.
 Lord Salisbury said he concurred in the belief that the only authority albeit an evil one. in that country was the prestige of the sultan's name. Patience must be exercised, and his majesty must be given time to enforce the reforms he had promised. He remarked upon the gradual return of order in Anatolia during the last few weeks, although he admitted that these signs should not be trusted too much He concluded by de- claring that if Great Britain did not cooperate with the other powers she must against them, which would lead to calamities far more awful than the 1 Armenian massacres.

DEBATING THE BOND BILL
COELUOUY SPRINGS UP BETWEEN
 YILAS AND MITCHELL.
The Latter Says That the Work of the
 man Was Completely Ignored by Senator

The Latter Says That the Work of the
 Syndicate Was Bunco Game-Mr. Till
 man Was Completely Ignored by Senator
 Villas.
 Washington, Jan. 31.--The senate con- tinued the consideration of the house bond bill with the finance committees free coinage substitute.
 MT. Villas, dem, of Wisconsin, ad- dressed the senate in opposition both to the bill and the substitute.
 In the course of his speech colluquy sprung up between MT. Villas and MT. Mitchell rep, of Oregon, the latter as- serting that when the last bond issue was taken by the syndicate for some eight millions less than it would have been taken if the bonds had been made payable specifically in gold, instead of in coin, there was no justice nor fairness in requiring the bonds to be paid in gold. He declared two or three times that this was, on the part of the syndi- cate, "bunco game"
 This view was repelled by MT. Villas, who declared that the lesser price re- ceived for those bonds merely repre- scented the thin shade of fear which the debates in congress had to give rise to- and that if there had been any fear that the bonds would have been paid in silver the government would not have received for them one half the amount which it did receive.
 MT. Tillman, dem., of South Carolina, made an attempt to get into the dis cussion by asking Mir Villas as to the price of silver in the open market when | those bonds were paid, but MT. Villas, politely, though positively, declined to be diverted from his argument and he went on with his speech.
