Of his desire to address the Senate this

In his speech in relation to the Monroe
doctrine, Senator Daniel said Great Britain
could, least fifty of all the nations of the
earth, object to the assertion of the Mon
roe doctrine by the United States, as it
had been announced not merely with the
approval of the British minister of foreign
affairs but at his earnest and oft-repeated

the manifold overtures made to her for
arbitration. The fusual of Great Britain

boundary between British Guiana and the
republic of Venezuela, involving many
thousand square miles of territory had
led to controversial correspondence be-
tween the British government and the
United States. In that correspondence
Tor and recommended arbitration, but
Great Britain had stood out against it
ana repealed it. To all such appeals Great
Britain had turned deaf ear The re-

On Great Britain, and congress and the
administration stood out in their appro-
pirate attitude as friends of justice and
friends of peace.
Proceeding to discuss Mr. SeweIl's res
olution and speech, Mr.. Daniel said that
me charge as to the Presidents action

financial crisis had come on five years
ago, and might last five or ten years
longer Meantime, was the United States

70 SIT down supinely and let the wide
world wag as it would?
referring to Mr.. Walcott's speech yes
terday Mr. Daniel quoted him as speak

on the subject at this time could only in
MI. WoIcotts opinion, accentuate diff

SeNeu and Mr.. Wolcott-there was this
mHerence, that the New Jersey senator

euough, when the Colorado senator char
aeterzed the resolution of the committee

ana comprehensive.
This nation" Mr.. Daniel declared. can
lol recede from the Monroe doctrine or
rom the position taken by the President.
an critics all friends of peace should rec
ggesnlze this fact and take their reckoning.
II IS not to be expected of us to speak in
Emspers, or to start at shadows while
me corridors of the capitol are ringing
WIN lnyectives against those who do not
TT2paud the aggrandizing spirit of Great
