The church flag recently designed by
Bishop Coleman has been made by Harst-
man of Philadelphia, and it will probably
be unfured on St. Bartholomew's Day,
August 9th. The flag is 0 feej. inches
and contains thirteen bars of red and
whito bunting Alternately, with centre
fold of white in which Is an. Episcopal cross
in purple. The reason the flag Is square
instead of tho usual shape. is that the
square de:isn is more ancient and is more
SO lvicaahle in the wind.
The pole, more than fifty feet high, the
gift of a man confirmed at Bishopslead
Is already in place at the eastern end of
the bishops chapel. Tho pole is being re-
glded and painted. 1t Is surmounled by
ball and C. oss. Tho ball signifies the
earth. aud the eros, the emblem of Chris
tiunity, is the sign of power over all.
Much interest in tho matter has been
felt in many places. The use Of tho church
flag will be OF educational value in va
riou> ways, ono Of which will bo in at
tracing tho attention of the people 10 the
fact that the dhy is of moro than ordinary
significance when the flag floats at Bsh-

VIII.

1t was just fifteen days later and about six
months before the Democratic National Con-
vention that a special message was sent by Mr..
Cleveland 10 Congress. In which. after recitinR
that the British Government had refused his
request that the Venezuela boundary question
should be submitted to arbitration. he asked
Congress for authority to appoint an American
commission for the purpose OF defining the
boundary. the intimation. OF course. being that
the boundary thus defined would be upheld by
force OF arms. The ground for the request was
formulated In these words: If 4 European
power. by an extension OF its boundaries, takes
possession OF the territory OF one OF our neigh
boring republics against It's will and In deroRa-
ton OF Its rights. it is difficult to see why to
that extent such European power does not
thereby attempt to extend It's system Of govern
ment to that portion Of this continent which Is
thus taken. This is the precise action which
President Monroe declared to be dangerous
to our peace and safety and 1t can make no
difference whether the European system is er-
tended by an advance OF frontier or otherwise.
1t is also suggested In the British reply that
we should not seek TO apply the Monroe doc
trine to the pending dispute because 1t does
not embody any principle Of international law
which is founded on the general consent OF
nations and that no statesman. however en-
inent. and no nation. however powerful. are
competent to insert into the code OF inter-
RS-;snal law a novel principle which was never
recognized before and which has not since been
accepted by the Government ofany other coun-
try Practically, the principle for which we con-
tend has peculiar. II not exclusive. relation TO
the United States. 1t may not have been ad-
mitted In so many words to the code OF interna-
tional law, but since. In international councils,
every nation is entitled to the rights belong
ing TO 1t. II the enforcement Of the Monroe
doctrine Is something we may Justly claim.
It has its place in the code OF international law
as certainly and as securely as II 1t were spe-
officially mentioned; and when the United
States Is a sutton before the high tribunal that
administers international law, the question TO
be determined IL whether or not We present
