VICTORY FOR AMERICAN POLICY.
Cabinet and President Much Pleased

Cabinet and President Much Pleased
at Outcome Of Negotiations.
Washington, Dec. 27.-President
Roosevelt is justified in feeling that in
the Venezuelan controversy he has
won distinct victory for the Amer
ican policy.
President Roosevelt all along has
urged the submission of the dispute
to The Hague tribunal. The powers
recognized that the question was one
for American disposal, and asked the
president to be the arbitrator. 1t is
said that all the correspondence rec
ognizes this principle. 1t was the
presidents firmness that brought all
the points to arbitration on American
lines. In commenting upon this sat

Der Of the cabinet said that the presi-
dent might we'll repeat what he said
In his message to congress:
There is not cloud on the horizon
at present. There seems not the
slightest chance of trouble with a for
eign power.
IN recognizing that this question
must be settled according to American
ideas, the great European powers have
given new force to the Monroe doc
trine. That doctrine is now regarded
as stronger than ever and as COM
pletely recognized by the powers of
Europe. It is also recognized in Ven
ezuela. where, according to trust
worthy reports. people are seeking
closer relations with the United
States-relations similar to those of
Cuba.

from the Pittsburg Jail by a crowd OF
ruftaans, who hanged him, cut his

dance. Cooley had been in Jail but
two hours when the mob seized him.
The victim of the mob's wrath was
given short hearing in the Jail yard
before he was executed. He did not
confess to the murder, but the lynch.

The negro struggled and the rope
broke. AS Cooley struck the ground

Cooley s.... protested his innocence
and begged for mercy. But the muir
derers only answer was to draw a
clasp knife across the negro's throat
severing the jugular vein.
Again the mob seized the expiring
victim and this time hanged a corpse.
