STUDY THE MESSAGE.

Europe Much interested in the Mes
sage Of Roosevelt to the Congress
His Utterance on the Monroe Doc.
trine Gives Rise to Some Notes of
Apprehension.
London, Dec. 4.-Roosevelt's message
holds first place in the afternoon news
papers here today. Comment on 1t,
however, differs little from that CT thu
morning papers. Strong general inn
proval OF the pronouncement which as,
the ST. James Gazette says Strikes
notes OF conscious strength and assured
success" is the pervading tone of the
editorials. The spirited declaration for
Monroeism will cause a fuaer in Et
rope says the Westminster Gazette.
which continues: "If the Kaiser is real
sly of the opinion, as alleged that the
American peril is the question of the fu-
ture for Europe, he will find conflrma-
tlon in the massage. He willlenvy Secre-
tary Cages surplus Of s15.Oo0000 avail
able for building iron clads or other pur-
poses, for the American doctrine. back
ed by the American surplus means that
many European ambitions in South
America are foredoomed to failure. We
do not debut that 1t is the policy of this
country, If called upon to make a choice,
to stand by the United States In de-
tense of the doctrine. They are also an
American power and it was they who
first suggested the idea.'
After noting that South America, the
only outlet for the surplus population OF
Europe, is largely in possession OF the
corrupt Spanish, over whom the United
States throws its Aegis without guaran-
teeing good government. the Westmin-
ster Gazette concludes: 1T is not easy
to affirm that in the interests of man
kind and when the United States, after
warning Europe not to enter America,
proceeds itself to step out from Ameri-
can continent, that even a theoretical
defense is difficult The situation has
the germs of an immense controversy in
the future"
Vienna, Dec Ain discussing Rcose-
velt's message the Austrian papers are
unanimous in praising the reference ia
anarchists, but on the other points they
are not quite SO laudatory. Fremden-
blatt comments on the peaceful tone OF
the message, remarking that Roosevelt
evidently will not allow himself to be
carried away by senseless Chauvinists
Neuswiener Tageblat dwells on its i'm
perialistic character" adding: There
lives in America spirit az 'appendant
to the Monroe doctrine formula of Eu-
rope for the Americans, and this formu-
la, altho clad in most peaceful phrases
pervades the message"
Deuschevolkerblatt declares the poll
cy enunciated must expand American
production, and therefore measures
for the protection of Austrian produc-
tion are required by the dictates of self
preservation" The Austrian Volks Zei-
tung believes the strength Of the mes
sage lies in the moderation of It's tone
adding: 1T speaks in the language of q
strong man who knows he requires nc
sonorous words to be heard Neuweinel
Journal. also dealing with the power OF
the message, recommends it's close study
so as to find the means, at the proper
time, of spelling his game"

Relative to a reduction of the reve-
nue. the secretary says:
THE estimates for the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1902, indicate q surplus
of $1OO000,00o. For the next fiscal year,
1a02-1903, there is to be an estimated
surplus of a little more than $4,000. 900.
1t will be noticed that the estimates OF
expenditures for such year 1902-190S, are
more than $S3,O00,000 in excess of the
probable expenditures for the current
fiscal year, 1901-1902. 1t is further to be
observed that estimates coming in from
the several departments for a year not
yet entered upon are not conclusive that
the sums so estimated will be appro-
priated by congress, or, if appropriated,
actually disbursed from the treasury
The secretary presents a table show
ing that with one exception in eleven
years the expenditures have been below
both the estimates of the departments
below the sums appropriated and says:
Therefore, 1t may reasonably be as
sumed that in the next fiscal year
similar result will ensue, which will
operate to increase the now estimated
surplus of s23,000,000. There are. how
ever, perceptible incidents which may
partially or wholly nullify such sug-
gested increase: There are certain re-
funds on account of internal-revenue
taxes to which, under the law, the con-
tributors are entitled. The sum re-
quired will approximate $5,000,000. The
state Of Pennsylvania has recently es-
tablished in the court OF claims claim
for over 100000 for interest paid on
account Of moneys borrowed by it for
the equipment and support of its Fed
eral volunteers during the civil war.
With this claim thus adjudicated. other
states IN similar position will no.

Paris, Dec. 4.-T4he financial affairs of
Count Boni de Castellane again came
before French tribunal yesterday
when the court Of appeals began hear
ing the counts apepal against a judg-
ment obtained in the tribunal Of COM

lane to pay bills amounting to 2,0O0. 600
francs (s4oo,ooo), in favor OF Charles
Wertheimer, the London bric-a- brac
