WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-The Vene-

lately after the doors were closed.
Senator Teller disclaiming all inten-
tioa OF being critical and saying he
mer .Iy desired information, asked SEN
ator Cullom, chairman Of the commit
tee on foreign relations. what informa-
tion he possessed as to the venezu-
elan affair. Teller said that the situa-
ton was such that the senator's felt
the Monroe doctrine might become in
volved IL complications should con-
tlnue.
Senator cullom replied that he had
no knowledge Of recent events not con-
tained in the house prints.
The tone Of all the speeches. whether
by republicans or democrats was that
the attitude OF this nation should be
one Of watchful1ess. There was gen.
eral agreement that while the means
adopted by Great Britain and Germany
for the collection of their debts had
been quite strenuous. they thus far had
committed 10 infringement on the Mon
roe doctrine and therefore had done no.
thing to which the United States could
take exception.
