The Navy aud the Monroe Doctrine.

Senator Lodge made short speech
while the naval appropriation bill was
being discussed by the Senate, which is
regarded as an official notice to Europe
that this government is prepared to
fight to maintain the Monroe doctrine,
if necessary, which was supplemented
by Senator Daniel, with few remarks,
showing that the maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine 10 the one important
question upon which there 10 no politi-
cal division in the Senate. incidentally
Mr.. Lodge served notice GU Germany
that no dickering for the possession OF
the Danish West Indies would be toll
Grated by this government. 1t was not
q lingo speech, but plain statement of
the situation. Said Mr.. Lodge: " My
reason for desiring more ships and de-
string them quickly lie my belief that
the safety of the United States depends
upon the strength Of our navy. We do
not need the navy for the protection Of
lies in our great coast line and in the
defence of the Monroe doctrine in this
hemisphere" OF the relation OF a
stronger navy to the isthmian canal, Mr..
Lodge said: {" We are about to enter
upon the construction of an 18th milan
canal, and we must be the naval mas
ters of the Caribbean sea. We must
have more powerful fleet than we
have today. The safety of the canal
depends upon the strength of our navy.
All admit that the canal ought to be
built, and the time is near when the
work will be begun. If we are to pro-
tect the canal as well as our own coast
we must have a navy proportionately
strong. l hope and believe that we
shall have no war, but great feet is
the best insurance of peace. However,
we should be foolish, indeed, if we
should close our eyes to the possibilities
of the situation. We could never allow
the Danish West Indies to pass into
other hands than ours. Any European
nation which should undertake to take
possession of those islands, right on the
road to the canal, and to make them {
great naval station, would by that very
act become an enemy of ours. We

asserts that it is absolutely true that
the Beers can render the invasion OF

montpelier and Barre have renew
ed their periodical struggle over the
question which is the biggest town in
Central Vermont" observes the para
grapher of the Free Press, in one OF his
distressing efforts to be facetious. No
such question exists, and there is con-
sequently no struggle over it, except in
the minds of newspaper quidnuncs
short of matter to fill up their columns,
or animated by desire to earn repu-
tation for intense loyalty. or the latter
sort is the Telegram editor Of Barre,
but he will not ingratiate himself with
the sensible people of that city by seek
ing to stir up ill feeling between the
two communities. w. F. Morse was
turned down two years ago by his own
people. Montpelier has not had Sem
ator since 1892. Barre had Senator in
that year and again in 1894. There is one
reason, which the towns Of the county
will this year recognize as good and all
sufficient why this city should be ac-
cordoba Senator in the next Legislature,
and it is possibly this reason that incites
the Grouty contemporary to his i'll
judged exhibition of spleen.

IN SOUTH AFRICA.

LONDON, May ID The Kroonstad
correspondent of the Chronicle says the
war is nearly over. In less definite
terms, this is the view to be gathered
from all the correspondents. They
picture the Beers as utterly democrat
lied and disheartened by Lord Rob-
erts' unexpectedly rapid advance and
by his facile turning of the carefully
prepared positions of the Beers.
1t appears that the Beers at Kroon-
stad had been reinforced by 5000 men
from Natal last Friday and that altogeth-
10000, with twenty guns, trekked
from Kroonstad on the approach of
Lord Roberts. The Beers made an in
effectual stand at Boschrand and had
elaborate entertainments in front of
Kroonstad, which offered great facili-
ties for a rear guard action. Their
only anxiety, however, appears to have
been to get away safely with all their
guns and conveys, which again they
have successfully accomplished. The
few stores they were unable to carry
away they burned.
A dispatch from Kroonstad says the
arrival there of Lord Roberts was hail
ed with enthusiasm by all the British
inhabitants. Three hundred Free
Staters were anxious to surrender. The
bridge to the south had not been de-
stroyed, but the large bridge near the
town had been demolished. The Irish
brigade with the federals yesterday
burned the goods shed. According to
the townspeople many of them were
drunk.
LADYsMITH, May 14.-Buller and an
army forty thousand strong are pushing
north in Natal, evidently making for
Laings Mex pass into the Transvaal.
Butler has fought successful engage
ment on the Biggersberg north of
Elanslaagte and is reported TO have
forced Bigeersberg range near Dundee
where the Beers were reported holding
impregnable positions.
The army advanced from here in two
columns, a part of the force moving
directly north and part, comprising
most of the mounted troops, proceeding
northeast, via Helpmakaar, in order to
flank she Boer position. The thanking
movement was successful and the Beers
are reported to be retiring. 1t is ex.
pected Butler will reach Dundee today,

Conclusive, IL Bulk Counts,

Mr.. L. A. Coolidge, Washington COR
respondent of the Boston Journal, has
been looking into the records of Con-
gress and this is summary of what he
finds:
General Grout in sixteen years worked
into law seventy legislative propositions, a
little over a per year. Senator Morrill,
eighty propositions in forty-four years, a
little less than per year. Senator Ed
munds seventy-three propositions in twenty.
FIVE years, a little less than per year"
This ought to be conclusive of this
whole matter, if bulk or quantity is the
sole basis of comparison. A pound OF
feathers makes more of show than a
pound of gold. Jefferson's Declaration
OF Independence may be small in vol
ume compared with the writings of
some of the public men of his time, but
the Immortality of the Declaration lie
established, while oblivion has over
taken the other fellows productions.
Lincoln's address at Gettysburg was far
less voluminous than Everett's grafton,
but the short speech lives, classic
peerless in its English and sentiments,
while not a sentence of Everetts or
nate periods is recalled. And 30 illus
tration might be multiplied indefinitely
to show that Mr.. Coolidge's basis of
comparison is structurally defective, so
defective it is wonder he instituted it.
Mr.. Morrills agricultural college en-
dowment measure, his initiation of the
protective tariff principle, its practical
embodiment in Legislation and it's ac-
ceptance as the settled policy of the ma
ton, though numbering but two meas
ures and figuring small on the percen-
tage basis, must "o'er weigh whole
theatre full" Of the "seventy legislative
propositions" the member from the
second Vermont district has worked
into law in sixteen years, and whose
bulk is made the basis of the demand
for his promotion to the Senate.

AS TO THE sENAToRsHIP.
The Senatorship of Orange county is one
OF the highest and most honorable offices in
the gift OF the commonwealth, and it is
worthy OF any mans ambition. l should
consider it a very great honor TO attain it, il
1 could do so in respectable and honora-
BILE way.
l believe that Republican principles
mean something; that past political service
and record should be considered; and the
pride W. take in the achievements OF our
Republican party, in sp to Of the universal
aud persistent Opposition OF the Democratic
party Is well founded. 1t is OF no very lit
tie consequence whether 1t is l who shall
bear this highest honor in the gift OF the Re-
publicans OF Orange county, or some other;
but it is important that the political record
OF that Senator shall be in harmony with
the Republicans, and that he be able to
maintain the high position and influence,
as Republican, which our county now
enjoys.

Trace OF Chinese in Mexico

Monterey, Mexico, Nov. 16.-The re-
port that American officers have un-3
earthed ancient records in Pekin show
ing that the Chinese discovered Amer
lea 1,5OO years ago and erected temples
in MexEo has aroused the greatest in
terest among the scientific men Of Mon
terey and thruout this country. The
Chinese temples alluded to are in the
state of Sonora, on the Pacific coast.
The ruins of one of the temples were
discovered near the town of Ures in
that state about two years ago.
One of the large stone tablets found
in the ruins was covered With carved
Chinese characters, which were partly
,deciphered by learned Chinaman
who visited the ruins at the request of
the Mexican government. This China
man made the assertion at the time
that the ruins were those of q temple
which had been erected many centuries
ago by Chinese. but his statement was
not received with credence.
IT has long been claimed that the In
dians OF the state Of Sonora are de-
scendants of these early Chinese set
tiers. They possess many traditions
and characteritics OF the Chinese. II

ords in Pekin are verified an expedf-

Roynlist Candidate for Delegate to
Congress- Wins-A surprise.
Honolulu, Nov. 9.-via San francisco,
Nov. 16.-Robert w. Wilcox, independ-
ent royalist candidate, was elected Ha-
waiian delegate to congress by small
majority over Samuel Parker, republi-
can. The result OF the election pro-
duced much depression among the
whites, as Wilcox is strongly opposed
by republicans and democrats alike.
His campaign was an antl-white can
vass, with promises on the part Of his
campaign workers that If he was elect
ed Queen Lilokalauni will be returned
to the throne. The result shows native
bitterness over the annexation to be
still alive. The republicans carried
Honolulu and the island of Oahu for
Parker by 219 plurality. The independ-
ent party has carried the houEe Of rep
resentatives by large majority. They
have fourteen members, with nine re-
publicans and six democrats and inde-
pendents, with the independents in con-
troll. A lively session is expected, as
