MONROE DOCTRINE ON TOP.
England VIII IndorseItRnd All oth-
er Powers Must Respect 1t
Americas statsHmen.

London, Nov. 23.--The most import.
ant position in to-day's edition of the
Spectator is occupied by a discussion
of a proposition that Great Britain
should give lis formal adherence 10
the Monroe doctrine. The Spectator
SaYs:
"lf America will define the Monroe
doctrine, why should we not pledge
ourselves not TO infringe upon il?
When we had acknowledged this doc
trine, America might propose it to
the rest of the powers for indorse-
ment. Z she did, the powers could
only refuse. If they adhered. their
adherence would he of great use. not
TO America, hut to the cause Of
peace, for il would eliminate a great
many of the notable causes of war.
If the Monroe doctrine became part
of The public law of the civilized
world, the risk of war breaking
out with regard to European inter-
ference in Brazil or Spanish Amer
iea. now always a possibility, would
then pass away.
Possibly no other power but Great
Britain would at first be willing TO
recognize the Monroe doctrine as
binding. Even so, it would he worth
our while to pledge ourselves 10 re-
spect it, for we never mean 10 attack
that doctrine, and sooner or later
our example will probably be fol-
lowed by other powers"
The Spectator also approves the
canal treaty, and in another article
on Secretary Hays foreign policy, the
paper says:
NO country in the world can show
two greater ct worthier statesmen
than President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Hay

BONNIE MURDER TRIAL.
Unfmportant Testimony Marks the
Days Proceedings-Adjou
Over sunday.

Washington. Nov 23.-Fiye wit
nesses were heard, yesterday, in the
trial of Miss Ida Bonine for the muir
der of James S. Ayers, Jr. -Four of
these witnesses were police officers
who had gone TO Ayers room after
discovery of the body by employees
of the Kenmore hotel, and the fifth
was w. w. Warfield, who was propri-
etor of the hotel at the time of the
tragedy. The policemen testified tode-
tails of the wounds, position of the
body and arrangement of the furni-
ture in the room. Mr.. Warfield's tes-
timony was very brief. In response
to a question by Attorney Fulton, of
Mrs. Bonine's counsel, he said that
Mrs Bonine had made arrangements
to leave the hotel before the tragedy
occurred, but both the question and
answer subsequently were ruled out.
II is understood TO be the intention
of defense to recall Mr.. Warfeld later
for the purpose of eliciting informa-
ton from him upon this and other
points in Mrs. Bonine's behalf.
Mrs. Bonine's party in the court
room was increased, yesterday, by the
addition of her brother, Grant Henry,
who lives at ST. Joseph, No. Only
once during the day did Mrs. Bonine
display emotion, and that was when
the bloody undershirt which had been
worn by Ayres on the night of the
killing was identified by Officer
Brady.
The court adjourned until Monday
TO give the attorneys in the case an
opportunity TO prepare themselves for
the work in hand. Justice Anderson
expressed The opinion that the adj
iournment would expedite the trial

the secretary of the United States le-
gation,as to the best meansof hasten

Mr. Dickinson is considering the adj
visibility of presenting an ultimatum
to the brigands, in which he will fix

gands as Miss Stones ransom. If this
proprosal is not accepted by her cap
tors all dealing with the bandits, so
far as the U1ited States is con

tions have not already been dictated
by Mr.. Dickinson, the ultimatum
comprising them will almost certain
