UNCLE SAM ARBITER.
SENATOR DAVIS ON THE
MONROE DOCTRINE.
Il is Adopted 10y the Scnntc Forrign Rcln-
ticn Committee "a. the stand of the L.. :.
Acquisition at American Territory by
Foreign Powers Don't Go.

WAsuiHCroS, Jan. .O.-Thc 'rcso'u'
ton drawn by senator Davis and
adopted by the senate committee ON
foreign relations yesterday, will prove
to be a clear and strong enunciation
OF the Monroe doctrine when its text
is made public. It is II more forciblc
declaration than any that has been in
trnduccd in Congress on this subject,
and its terms arc so explicit that they
cannot b. misunderstood.
The maintenance Of the Monroe
doctrine rs set forth in the resolution,
is held to he vital to the welfare Of
this country and the countries of the
American continent. The doctrine, il
is asserted. is now in force. and linS
been in force cycr since IL was cs-
tablishcd by President Monroe. Tho
resolution declares il to mean the
acquisition, by purchase, aggression
nr otIicrw isc. of any territory on the
American continent, by IA foreign
power il an uufricndly act, and such
ACQUISITION will not be permitted by
the United States
The most important feature Is that
which touches upon n ncw phase of
the Venezuela qucstion-thc report
that England and Venezuela may
reach an agreement and that English
money will settle The boundary dis
putc. The resolution declares that
when boundary disputes on the Amer
lean continent between foreign gov
crnmcuts and American governments
are decided 10y arbitration, agreement,
purchase, or in any manner whatever,
, the United States shall bc the solo
Judge as to whether the Monroe doe
trinc has been violated in such arbitra-
, ton. or agreement. In fact, IT. means
that arbitration or agreement between
foreign governments and governments
of the American continent as TO bound
AIRY disputes cannot become binding or
effective unless sanctioned 10y the
, United States. and this government is
satisfied that no part OF the American
continent has been coded To Il foreign
power by such arbitration or agree
mcnt. This practically makes the
United States the arbitrator between
foreign governments and those of the
American continent in all boundary
disputes.
This portion OF the resolution is on
sidcred most important and f~ar-rcach-
ing in its effects. 1t caused misap
~prrhcusion among some members OF
the committee, rs il is claimed that II
may lead to many cutanglcments. on
the other hand. the supporters of the
= resolution say il caves everything IN
p the hands of the United States, where
the final decision should be, and thai
the United States will interfere only
when the Monroe doctrine has beer
violated.
Tho resolution is drawn with Il view
of covering every possible ~contingcnc,
that may arise in boundary disputes
or the acquisition or sale of territory
Ivy one foreign government to anothcr
on the American continent. or islands
hat arc considered II part of tn
Western hcmisphcrc.

SENATORSHIP.
The Rival Candidates iiari at Work Mar
shsling Their Forces.

F~RANKrOHr, Ky. Jan. 2!.-Although
the leaders of both parties had agreed
that there should be no balloting tor
Senator till February |, or until after
the successor of Wilson had qualified,
yet the nominees of the caucuscS seem
to be 50 suspicious of each other that
they are marshalling their forces here
for ballotiug in both houses separately
Tuesday. aud the friends OF Hunter
are claiming he will be declared elect
ed Wednesday,. Some Republican SEN
ators insist they will join the Demo-
Gratis III pootponing the election until
after Wilson's successor arrives, as
there was authority forthc agreement.
Some Of Hunters most ardent sup
portcrs think the scheme to postpone
the election of Senator vas a trick in
the interest of bradley or Ierkes, and
say that they will, therefore, not
abide by it. In addition To the opposi-
tion from those who want to stand by
the compromise agreement, PopuliSt
Poor has become ~estrargcd from
Hunter. but says he will never go to
Blackburn, so il does not seem posi-
ble for any election of Senate to
occur this week. Tho deadlock be-
tween Hunter aud blackburn with
their fighting friends on the ground is
expected TO make trouble. Both sides
are very determined and suspicious.

DENIED AT WASHINGTON.
No Militia Ordered out by the President
No War.

Nv" ~
WASHINGTON, Jan. ?i.-A fat denial
is given ut tn. War department to the
report from Florida that the depart
inent has requested the governor of
that state TO put the Florida troops in
readiness to take the field at u mo.
inents notice. In the first place. it is
said the President has no constitution.
al or lawful authority to make such q
request, and in the next place there is
no emergency that would justify the
calling out of the 200 men who make
up the Florida militia.
The rumor vas current here and
elsewhere in the East last night that
President Cleveland had learned that
spain, despairing of a successful ter
minatiOn of the war. had offered to
sell Cuba To Great Britain. The rumor
seemed to be confirmed by dispatches
from Florida. The governors of the
Southern states, according to advices,
had been requested by the War dc
partmcnt to prepare the state militia
men for immediate service. Troops
were reported on the move in Florida,
and the belief was held in some quar-
tiers that the flying squadron Of Great
Britain was destined for service in
American waters.
The cessation Of Cuba to Great Brit
ain would certainly be resisted by the
United States and on these grounds
sensational war predictions were sent
out.
Nothing is known at the depart
mcnts about the alleged offer of sale
of Cuba. However. u crisis has been
r.n.l,.l Il, tl, f,1. .., ..I n-..
dent Cleveland is said to have pre-
pared u proclamation, which may be
received in the near future rec.
ognizing the bclligercncy Of the
patriots. The President, it
is declared, intended to recognize
the insurgents last week, when he
learned of the recall of Marshal
Campos, but under the circumstances,
the executive thought that such recog-
nitition would be regarded us mop
perfume and u~nfricndly to Spain, and
he therefore withheld the important
document, pending the appointment OF
a successor to Campos. Now that
Campos has been retired there is APP
parently, no reason for withholding
it longer.
Coupled with the rumor of pending
negotiations for the ccsSion of Cuba to
the English crown comes an additional
assertion that President Cleveland
may go beyond the original PROPOSE
tion and recognize the independence
of Cuba. This, however, must be
taken with Il large grain of salt.
There is an Important distinction be-
tween independence and belligerency.
Belligerepcy can be recognized when
insurgents have established themselves
on a basis Of apparent permanent.

able To cope with the armies
of the parent country and having es-
tablished II form of government. In.

cording to the principle and invaria'
BILE practice of the United States, is

eminent of another nation, by its cs,

ceived the express or implied assent o.
