BALFOUR REPLIES.

BALI OUR REPLIES.
Hon. A. ]. Balfour, first lord of the
treasury and Conservative leader in the
house, WIS loudly cheered when he
arose to reply to the Liberal leader.
He said: 'Sir William Vernon Har
court has devoted much time to at
tacking views which the government
has never held. Neither l nor NV
friends ever said that the Monroe doc
trine was one to which we had Alright
to object. 1t is Of British origin, and
do not see any reason why we should
cr1tciSe it. The American commits
s1onerS (on the Venezuelan boundary
have applied to us to aid them with
any information we have on the Vene-
zuehan question, and we have prom
ised to give them all the information
we are able to give at the earliest pos
sible moment. (Cheers) No false pride
or diplomatic punctilio will be allowed
to stand in the way Of a settlement
as far as we are concerned. But there
are duties requiring diplomatic enforce
ment We owe a duty to our children,
our colonies and those occupying them.
And this country would not deserve
to retain the confidence of the colonies
unless we convinced them that we were
ready and willing to defend them, and
in a case in which we are right, we
should not abandon them. 1t is i'm
possible to foresee with certainty what
will be the general conclusions arrived
at by the American commission or by
those called upon to investigate the
British claim. But one conclusion, I
am certain, will be reached by every
one who impartially investigates: he
will be convinced that there has never
been the slightest intention on the part
of this country to violate the sub
stance or essence Of the Monroe doc
trine. Whatever other conclusion the
commission may arrive at it will most
assuredly reach the conclusion that no
desire to push beyond the due limit of
the frontier Of this empire has ever
been the animating cause which moved
British diplomacy in this long-drawn-
out controversy.
II should rejoice if out Of this
evil should spring some general sys-
tenn of arbitration. If that were the
issue, I should feel that all misunder-
standings and evils done had been
more than removed, and that a perma-
nent guarantee of good will between
the English-speaking nations on the
two sides of the Atlantic had been at
tanned for all time.''
Turning then to the Transvaal oues-
tion, Mr.. Balfour said: 1.-THE armed
forces Of the Chartered company will
of course, be transferred to an imperial
officer without delay. There is, there

The Republicans in the Kentucky House at
Frankfort, on Wednesday, attempted to break
the Senatorial deadlock by unseating Kauff-
man, Democratic member, in spite of the
fact that the contest in his case had been
withdrawn. The Democratic Senate, in great
confusion, at once retaliated by unseating two
Republican Senators, James and Walton.
The scene in the State House was one of great
confusion, mob guarding the doors to pre-
vent James and Walton entering to take part
in the Joint session. James managed to get
in, but made no attempt to vote. The Re-
publieans refrained from voting for Senator,
and succeeded in breaking the quorum.

Charles Ramsay. of Juniata county, Pa,
brntally murdered his wife in their home Sun
day evening, under the halucination that he
was called upon to make a sacrifice of his
most precious earthly possession. Ramsay,
who is a young man, comes of good parentage,
and has heretofore borne good reputation.
For number of years he taught school as did
also bis wife, and both were considered quiet
and inoffensive people. Ramsay was also a
practical surveyor, and has several times been
appointed by the courts of Junata county to
make surveys. During the last few months
Ramsay and his wife have been reading a book
which pretends to prove that the end of this
world is near, aud urging the necessity of
immediate preparation for the other world.
Both became crazed over its teachings, talked
of nothing else but il, and went about their
home and farm with the book in their hands
reading it. For several weeks they have
neglected their everyday work, and have given
their entire time to the study of its nonsense
until their overwrought imagnations eonceiv-
ed the idea that one of them should be sacrl-
feed to appease the Deity. The womans
head and shoulders were beaten into Jelly
