| -..-a,q. Mr.. Daniel's Speech.
At 3 O'Clock Mr. Dubois closed, and Mr.
| Daniel addressed the Senate on the Mon
zoe doctrine. Senior Mendonca, the Bra
! lillian minister, was an attentive listener
| to the speech.
The Senator referred to the two sets of
resolutions pending in the Senate. Those
| proposed by the committee on foreign re-
| lations he regarded as simply embodying
| a detailed statement of the Monroe doc
| trine as embraced in the more general
| language, in which 1t was uttered. The
| resolutions offered by the Senator from
IENew Jersey seemed to him CAIr. DanieD to
| miSnterpret the history and to pervert
| the plain language of the Monroe doctrine.
I That 1t was directed especially to the pre-
| vention of the threatened action of the al
| lied powers in reference to the revolted
| colonies of Spain and the occupation, by
way of colonization, of any supposed dere-
| lct territory on this hemisphere may be
true. but it is only half truth, for it's Ian
! guage covers interposition for the purpose
| of depressing them or controlling in any
other manner their destiny by any foreign
| power.
The Senator sketched in detail the ca
reer of Monroe the occasion for the promul-
cation of the doctrine which bears his
| name, and considered its significance its
utility and its place among the traditional
principles of the American people. In the
| course OF his remarks he quoted from the
Monroe doctrine, and said that it was clear
and comprehensive and embraced these
propositions:
/. Non-interference on our part with the
internal concerns of European powers.
,. Non-interference with existing colo
MES II America.
3. No colonization of free and indcpen-
dent American states fer the future by any
European powers.
T. No extensions of the political Sys tens
of Europe l., America.
s. No interposition of any European
powers for the purpose of opposing or con.
trolling in airy manner the destiny OF

tor, was welcomed with joy in Great Brit
ain and South America, as well as in oul
own country. The price of South American
securities leaped upward, much to the 10,
of the English investors.
But with all the eXutation with which
Great Britain welcomed her American all,

not only put lion in the path of a par
ticular scheme of despotism and aggran
dizement, but had declared broad American
principles, which were thorns in the side o.

What England wanted was the cooperation
Of America to prevent other European DOW

had no idea of Inviting prevention of hel

Indeed, England was so offended by Mon

ton that she refused to cooperate will
US in settling the Russian questions.
The Senator then went on to show how
the doctrine had; been upheld by various
Presidents. b The civil war vast and en-
crossing asjn was, caused, he said no in
terruption in thef assertion Of the Monroe
doctrine by his nation. Under most diff
