"WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV. 81. 1901

AS HERETOFORE stated, there Is EVIL
IDENTIFY an understanding or secret
treaty between this country and Gfest
Britain which has existed since the
United States went TO war with Spain
and England said "hands of" to such
OF the European nations ss wished 10
interfere. This is made evident by the
refusal OF the United States to even in'
ssrcede 10 behalf Of the poor Beers and
by the recent inspired articles 10 the
leading London papers approving OF THIS
oouutry's determination to uphold the
Monroe doctrine. But If the United
States declares that no other nation
shall acquire territory In the western
hemisphere with what grace can 1t
maintain the right to take possession OF
and hold territory In the eastern henri
sphereP 1t is a poor rule which does
not work both ways, even among Da-
tions.
