FORMER DIPLOMAT UTTERS WARNING.
Who Consul General
Position the Was
Weakened by Enterprises in the Eastern IIen-
sphere-Fears Serious Complications.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec 1i.-Samuel F.
Morss Consul General at Paris in the last
administration of President Cleveland. was
asked TODAY what he thought of the diplc-
matte and political differences that now
confront the United States in Venezuela, and
what effect the occupation Of venezuelan
territory by England and Germany would
have on the Monroe Doctrine Of ihis nation.
My opinion" said Mr.. Morss. 'is that the
United States very materially weakened its
position on the Monroe Doctrine by its en-
terpriscs in the Eastern Hemisphere. Our
course in China. however. was conservative
in comparison with our course in The Phil
ippines.
"Our Government showed much wisdom
in China. 1t avoided anything looking to
the acquisition of territory or the cstab-
fishing of any Jurisdiction there. L seemed
TO me very clear that the precedent We
have established IN the East would rctnrn
to plague us when the occasion arose. Per
haps there has arisen cause for a vigorous
assertion Of the maintenance Of our t-ad-
tional opposition 10 European encroach-
Tnen.s in the Americas.
TWO PARTS OF DOCTRINE
Now. there were two sections of that
Monroe Doctrine. one being co-olIary of
the other. We are to absolutely abstain
from Interference or participation in poiti-
cal affairs Of the Old World. We were to
resist, if necessary. the acquisition of any
additional foothold by European Powers in
the New World.
We have repudiated the doctrine which
would keep the American states out of the
Old World. This certainly has very greatly
weakened the strength of our contention
that Eupropean Powers must not increase
their territorial possession in the New
World.
Il think the situation Is grave. THE two
greatest Powers In Europe nave come to-

tween nine and ten O'Clock in favor Of
Frank Pine contestant OF the alleged
last will and testament OF the late Judge
J. c. Brady. The case was on trial at
Rathdrum for more than week and
attracted much attention on account

man about fifty years of age and bears
a good reputation, as a result of which
there are many people among his &C.

opinion in the vicinity Of the alleged
crime is also with the accused and the
result of the preliminary hearing, which

Mrs. Robbins, the woman who says
she is the victim OF Grady's pas

The story told Is that Grady visited
the place Saturday morning and put

the woman alone in the house she
claims that he forced her 10 submit 10
his wishes. Later in the day, when
some OF the male members Of the fam

Problem to Solve.

Edward Stanley Gives the EntOmoIogists
Problem to Solve.
Last fall Edward Stanley wrote TO
the University of Idaho, telling the
professors of a new bug which had
been operating on his apple trees. The
report Of his discovery got into the
technical journals and he has since had
inquiries from some of the leading ebto-
mOlogists of the country regarding his
discovery. In this connection Prof.
j. n. Aldrieh has written the Press on
the subject as follows:
1T has recently been suggested to me
that some OF your subscribers would
like information as TO peculiar cricket
which WAS injurious TO fruit along about
blooming time last spring, in the vicin-
ity Of Ceur d'Alene. Specimens were
sent me by Mr.. Ed. Stanley, who stated
that they lived in holes in the ground
in his orchard, coming out at night 10
climb up the trees and eat the fruit
buds or the newly set fruit. lie had
been shaking them down at night into
sheets, killing them, and afterwards
feeding them to his chickens.
THE case was very interesting TO me,
from the fact that the particular kind
of cricket concerned is one of the rarest
insects known in the country, being
found in very few of the larger collec-
tons. On this account, l had one of
my students prepare an article on it,
which was lately published in an ento-
biological journal.
"On account of the fact that the in
sect was almost wholly unknown to en-
tomologists up TO the time Of Mr..
Stanley's letter 10 me, SO no damage had
ever been known from it in the past. !
was not in position to recommend any
other course TO Mr.. Stanley than the
one he had begun. The crickets, as a
class are hard TO kill by arsenical pois
ons, like Paris green. Their eggs being
laid in the ground. fall blowing might
be useful in destroying them. should
think that hogs ia an orchard would
root out and devour the matured cricx-
cts. IL the insects are numerous next
spring, hope TO make a personal invest
igatiOn Of the matter
Mr. Stanley will send some of the in
sects to the Chicago university next
spring, upon a request from that insti.
tuition.
