THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Reasons Why It is Favored by Great
Britain.

From the London Chronicle.
The Presidents tour through the New
England states. which we trust may not
be cut short by yesterdays accident, has
attracted almost much notice in Europe
as in the United States Itself. Some of the
speeches he has delivered in the course Of
it have dealt with a grievance that Europe
has long cherished against America and
will probably long continue to cherish.
Outside of the United States we are the
only people that approve Of the Monroe
doctrine. Perhaps we are also the only
people that really understand 1t. 1t COM
mands our sympathy and support because it
practically assures peace over the whole of
the two Americas; and for the sake Of
peace. which Is the foundation Of all COM
merce, We are willing to overlook a good
deal. Besides that. 1t makes the United
States our inevitable ally in the event Of
any attack by a European power on our
American possessions. 1t Is thus a guaran
tee not only Of peace, but Of security.
We may not perhaps, be wholly satisfied
with Venezuela as a nelghbor, but we pre-
fer her to Germany. The Monroe doctrine
prevents the possibility of Germany or any
other European power becoming a neighbor
Of ours in South America; and for this rea-
son, also, it is in line with our interests.
But with the continental governments 1t Is
different. They have no empire to CONSOLE
date. as we have; they are anxious to re-
duce the social pressure by emigration, and
traders exclusive spheres Of influence"
under their own flags. South America at
tracts them as a field for colonization and
commerce. They would like to scramble
for it as they have already scrambled for
Africa and the Islands Of the Pacific; and
if they once began they would hardly rest
till the whole land from Cape Horn to the
Gulf Of Panama was parceled out.

esprit of the Times" Fails.

A dispatch from New York says: pc
tition in involuntary bankruptcy has been
filed against the Spirit Of the Times cor
poration. publisher of The Spirit Of the
Times and American Sportsman, at No. 81
Trinity place. by the following creditors:
Horace Russell Of No. Al Park avenue, S1O,-

ing the past five years; Alexander F. W.
Leslie. $1,000 for salary as general manager
and money loaned, and Edward Abercrom-
bic. 1902 for salary as editorial writer
1t was alleged that the corporation is in
solvent and that its property at fair
valuation will not be sufficient to pay its
debts.
The Spirit Of the Times was started in
1929. and subsequently passed into the
hands Of e. A Buck. who was succeeded
by the present corporation in June. 1880,

DEPARTMENT OF DAKOTA.
Gen. Kobbe Reports the Discipline Of
the Armv as Good

Brig. Gen. w. A. Kobbe commanding the
department OF Dakota, in his annual report
says that the discipline and instruction Of
the army under his command are good, be-
cause, las a rule. officers are capable and
painstaldng. Generally speaking. the SOL
dier is what his officer makes OF him. A
gain In efficiency would follow II officers
remained single until rank. pay and allow
ances enabled them to provide against COM
mon exigencies Of service"
Alfred Reynolds. inspector general Of the
department. says that he Is inclined to the
opinion that the abolition of the beer fea-
ture in post exchanges has not materially
increased the number of trials by court nor
called for other extra disciplinary meas
ures.'
Regarding the different posts In the de-
partment, Gen. Kobbe says that with the
exception of those at Helena, Mont, and
Bismarck. N. D.. the military stations in
the department date back to the days OF
Indian warfare, and are intimately con-
nected with frontier history.
There are about $4,000 Indians on reserya-
tons. and the posts being originally placed
with reference to them are we'll located
now. General Kobbe recommends the re-
tention Of all these posts. with the excep-
ton Of Fort Yates, which he thinks should
be abandoned.
He recommends an Increase in the zarri-
son at Fort Kehoe. He recommends Ienis-
lation to settle the question of title to the
Fort Missoula military reservation, which
includes part OF q school section.

WELSH ANTHRACITE.
Not Exactly the Pennsylvania Brand,
but Will Do.

From the Boston Transcript.
Inasmuch as those who have the anthra-
cite coal fields in trust for the Ameri-
can people have seemed to default in their
responsibilities, it is not strange that we
importation of foreign anthracite from
Wales Some Of our American coal men
claim that Wales produces no real anthra-
cite. She is, however. credited with con-
siderable of 1t, and the first consignment
reached New York recently. with prospect
OF much more to follow. as another steamer
laden with the now precious product Is on
the way. These two shipments consist Of
about eight thousand tons. 1t is said that
orders have been placed in Wales for sever
al hundred thousands of tons, from 10000
to 10000 tons being spoken for immediate
delivery.
It Is probably true that the Welsh an
thracite is not as well prepared for the
various uses to which it is applied as that
mined In Pennsylvania, but 1t Is scientifical-
will doubtless answer the purpose in the
present emergency, provided we can get
enough OF 1t. In fact. anthracite Is found
not only in Wales, but in Belgium and
France and to small extent in Russia
The Welsh coal, however, is the most de-
pendable product. The total coal fields In
the south of Wales cover about 600 square
miles, divided as follows: Bituminous, 40
miles; anthracite, 40 miles; semi anthra-
cite, in great demand for ocean steamers
$50 miles. Perhaps 1t Is strange that this
movement did not start before, but 1t de-
serves encouragement now, though at the
best only a small measure of relief can be
afforded by It. To bring Goals to Pennsyl-
vania would be fully as absurd as to carry
them to Newcastle.

WILL USE THE VIXEN.
Converted Gunboat to Be Admiral
Coglan's Flagship.

At the recent conference between Secre
tary Moody and Rear Admiral Coghlan,
second in command of the North Atlantic
station, 1t was arranged that the latter
should have as his flagship the converted
gunboat Vixen, pending the completion of
the repairs to the cruiser Olympia The
Vixen is now being fitted out at the navy
yard, Portsmouth. N. H., and it is said
will be ready for service by the LIST of No
vember.
Admiral Coghlan will sail on her to the
Caribbean sea to assume command of the
division fleet of the North Atlantic SQUAD
ron assigned to that particular station. The
Vixen is sing1e-screw gunboat of SO6 tons
and has secondary battery OF four guns.
She will be used as Admiral Coghlan's flag
ship only until relieved by the cruiser Olym-
pia, the repairs to which will take a longer
time than was expected.

All Should Swim,
From the New York American and Journal.


Every girl should learn to SWIM" ad-
vises young woman who nearly persisted
by the upsetting of boat in Central Parks
lake. And so should every boy. Many
more boys than girls learn. but 1t Is as
tonishing the number that do not. A pro-
fessfonal fisherman on the Jersey shore
died the other day because while bathing he
was carried beyond his depth Think of
man making his living on the water and not
being able to keep af1oat In 1t. That Is de-
liberately tempting death, yet this hapless
fisherman was not much more foolish than
plenty Of others. During the sumner just
closed there have been scores of drownings
that all but very few of the victims lost
their lives because they could not swim
It Is the duty Of parents to have their chill
dren. girls as well as boys, instructed in
swimming If circumstances do not favor the
picking up of the art. A few lessons are
sufficient to teach 1t to anybody of ordinary
intelligence and courage.

Good Roads Campaign.
ha MIIwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee, SehtlneI.
There have beehfmany practical Influences
at work as aids to the good roads move
ment, but the farmers have been unusually
conservative in lending their cooperation
to the effort to bring about a change In the
laws governing the. payment OF highway
taxes and they have not taken an active
part in the movement which seeks a re-
form IN the way these taxes are expended
Although farming communities are the ones
principally Interested in good highways and
the pockets of the farmers are directly ben
Gifted by cheapening the cost of hauling
their products to market, they are prone
to adhere to old methods and are appre-
hensive that the expense of change in the
method OF building and maintaining roads
will fall upon them without resulting In
compromising benefits.

Venezuela Required to Apol-

TRICKED INSURGENTS
LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY AT
CIUDAD BOLIVAR.
Reports Received From Minister
Bowen at Caracas Describing
the Circumstances.

PORT OF SPAIN. Island Of Trinidad.
September pa leading German merchant
who recently escaped from Ciudad Bolivar,
Venezuela. arrived here yesterday and
made statement under oath before the
officials here setting forth that on August
70 the Venezuelan warship Restaurador.
when steaming up the Orinoco river for the
second time, In order to again lombard
Ciudad Bolivar. hoisted the American flag
In order to be able to reach that city with
out arousing the suspicious Of the inhabi-
tants as to her identity, and that by this
stratagem the Restaurador reached the
custom house at Ciudad Bolivar and I'M
mediately opened fire on the center OF the
city, causing loss Of life and damage to
property in the quarters inhabited by for
eigners. The merchant also stated that. the
foreign consuls and all the population of
Cfudad Bolivar protested against the ac-
tions Of the Restaurador.
Venezuela Forced to Apologize.
The singular event reported by the Ger
man merchant was explained this afternoon
by the reception of two cablegrams from
United States Minister Bowen at Caracas.
The minister stated that the Venezuelan
government gunboat Restaurador had ap-
proached the port OF Ciudad Bolivar, on
the Orinoco river flying the American flag.
This flag was not lowered until the Res
taraudor was close upon the insurgent po-
sitions ashore, when a bombardmeQt was
opened, causing great commotion.
When the Restaurador returned to La
Guaira the facts were reported to United
States Minister Bowen, who promptly de-
manded full apology from the Venezuelan
60, H.,
flag and the firing Of a salute from the Of
Tending ship.
The Venezuelan government promptly &C
coded to the minister's terms and the apol-
ogy was forthcoming and a national salute
was fired from the Restaurador, with the
American flag hoisted.
The incident Is still open for considera-
ton between the State and Navy Depart
ments.
