want Consular Service Innroved

want Consular Service Improved.
New York, Feb. "A matter which
is now engaging the earnest attention
of the British board of trade, says The
Tribune's London correspondent. Is
the question of improving the consu-
lar service and the system under
which British commercial attaches
and agents are appointed to foreign
countries. This is understood to be
the first move in an attempt to bring
the country's $ public system relating to
trade and commerce more in accord
with the wishes and interests Of bust
ness generally. Evidently the cry for
minister of commerce is beginning
to bear fruit.

BRITAIN AND MONROE DOCTRINE

New York, Feb. 2.-England does
not like Captain Mahan's definition of
the Monroe doctrine says The Trf.
bupne's correspondent in London.
Captain Mahan distinctly says that
the United States will not, and does
not accept, the burden of American
responsibility and 1t is taken for
granted that Captain Mahan speaks
for both political parties in the Unit.

more or less official and that Ii is not
given to the world except after full
verification. The article consequent

cordially accepted the broad principle
of the Monroe doctrine and there Is
little danger of quarrel between the

Honor Among Nations.
New York, Feb. 2.-The Herald's
Caracas correspondent quotes Presi-
dent Castro as saying, in the course
of an interview:
4 cannot grasp the news from
Washington. fear that the Vene-
zuelan conflict will be made a pre-
text for a world war. I have. an
swered,- however, the demand for pref
erential treatment, as follows: The
Venezuelan government desires equal
treatment for every creditor nation, at
the same time keeping in mind and
respecting its previous diplomatic
agreements and obligations.
"As far as l can see, the French
claim is absolutely perfect, yet the
blockading powers seem to desire to
invalidate it. This is a strange pro-
cedure, indeed, when you recall that
the French, Belgian and Spanish
claims already have that solemn sane
tion which the blockading powers pre-.
tend to be desifous their own should
receive.

were sick put this treatment, and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic
In a short time every ofthe one hundred hands

never had another case of fever.
