Entire Christian Population of okh.
ridR, Macedonia, Slain at Night.
Horror and CONSERVATION have been
aroused by the report from Sofia that
the Christian population of Okhrida.
numbering 1000 people, has been mas
sacred by Albanians. The massacre is
said to have taken place at night, and
men. women and children were aroused
from their sleep and ruthlessly slain.
The city overlooks Lake Okhrida and
rises TO height of $40 feet above the
surface Of the lake. Twenty-cight miles
to the southeast is Monastir, which has
100000 inhabitants.
A three days engagement between a
Turkish force, accompanied by German
officers and a band of insurgents under
command of the Macedonian leader.
Captain Stoyanof, has occurred in the
Menelik district, sixty-fiye miles north
of Salonica. The band suffered heavy
losses
Insurgent bands have appeared in the
districts of Tirnovo, Lozen and Malmo.
One band has burned the village of Jub-
rell. The country round about has been
filed with Turkish troops-Ainfantry
cavalry and artillery--and the entire pop
ulation which is not Bulgarian have been
armed for self protection. A veritable
reign Of terror exists.

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
To-day | wish TO speak 10 you, not mere
ly about the Monroe doctrine, bus about
our entire position in the western hemi-
sphere position SO peculiar and pre-
dominant that out of it has grown the
acceptance of the Monroe doctrine as a
cardinal feature of our foreign policy
and in particular | wish to point out
what has been done during the lifetime
Of hh last Congress TO make good our
position in accordance with this historic
policy.
Ever since the time when we definitely
extended our boundaries westward to the
Pacific and southwark to the gulf, since
the time when the old Spanish and Por-
tuguese colonies to the south Of us as
serted their independence, our nation has
insisted that because of it's primacy in
strength among the nations of the wet
ern hemisphere it has certain duties and
responsibilities which oblige il TO take
n leading pert thereon. We hold that Cur
interests in this hemisphere are sreater
than those of any European power pcs
sibly can lie and that our duty 10 our
selves and TO the weaker republics who
are our neiehbOrs requires us to see that
none Of the great military powers from
across the seas shall encroach upon the
territory of the American republics or
acquire control thereover.
This policy. therefore. not only for
bids us to acquiesee in such territorial
acquisition, but also causes us To object
to the requirement of a control which
would in it's effect be equal TO terrific
rial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. That IS why the
United States has steadily believed that
the construction of the great isthmian
canal. the building of which is to stand
as the greatest material feat of the TWEEN
tieth centuTy-greater than any similar
feat in any preceding century-should
be done by 40 foreign nation. but 10y our
selves. The canal must of necessity go
through the territory of one of our small
er sister repablics. We have been scrup-
ulously careful to abstain from perpe-
trating any wrong Upon any of these re
publics in tais matter We do not wish
to interfere with their rights in the least.
but, while carefully safeguarding them,
to build tho canal ourselves under pro
visions which will enable us. if necessary,
to police and protect it and to guarantee
its neutrality, we being the sole guaran-
tor. Our intention was steadfaSt; we
desired action taken so that the canal
could always be used by us in time Of
peace and war alike and in time of war
could never be used to orr detriment by
any nation which was hostile to us. Such
action, by the circumstances surround
Ing it, was necessarily for the benefit and
not the deEiment of the adjacent Ameri
can republics.

Success in New Treaty.

After considerably more than half of
a century these objects have been exact
ly fulfilled by the legislation and treaties
of the last two years. Two years ago
we We're no further advanced toward
the construction of the isthmian canal on
our terms than we had during the pre-
cedng Eighty years. BY the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, ratified in December. 1901,
an old treaty with Great Britain. which
had been held TO stand in the way. was
abrogaled and it was agreed that the
canal should be constructed under the
auspices of the government of the United
States and that this government should
have the exclusive right to regulate and
manage it, becoming the sole guarantor
of its neutrality.
1t was expressly stipulated, further
more, that this guaranty of neutrality
should not prevent the United States
from taking any measures which it found
necessary in order to secure by its own
forces the defense of the United States
and the maintenance of public order
Immediately following this treaty Con
gress passed a law under which the Pres
ident was authorized to endeavor to Sc
cure a treaty for acquiring the right to
finish the construction of and to operate
the Panama canal, which had already
been begun in the territory of Colombia
by a French company. The rights of
this company were accordingly obtained
and a treaty negotiated with the repub
lie of Colombia. This treaty has just
been ratified by the Senate 1t reserves
all of Colombias rights. while gnaran-
teeing all of our own and those of neu-
trai nations and specifically permits us
to take any and all measures for the de-
Tense Of the canal and for the preserva-
ton of our interests, whenever in our
judgment an eXigency may arise which
calls for action on our part.
In other words. these two treaties and
the legislation to carry them out have
resulted in our obtaining on exactly the
terms we desired tie rights and privileges
which we had so long sought in yain.
These treaties are among the most inn
portant that we have ever negotiated in
their effects upon the future welfare Of
this country and mark a memorable Fri
umph of American diplomacy--one OF
those fortunate triumphs. moreover
which rebounds to the benefit of the en-
tire world

The Trouble in Venezuela.


About the same time trouble arose in
connection with the republic of Venezue-
la because of certain wrongs alleged to
have been committed and debts Overdue
by this republic to citizens of various
foreign powers. notably England, Ger
many and Italy After failure to reach
an agreement these powers began a
blockade of the Venezuelan coast and
condition Of Quasi-war ensued. The con
Germ of our government was, of course
not to interfere needlcssly in any quarrei
so far as it did not touch our interests
or our honor and not to take the atti-
tude Of protecting from coercion any
power unless we were willing TO esp0use
the quarrel of that power, but to keep
az attitude of watchfnl vigilance and
see that there was no infringement of
the Monroe doctrine; no requirement of
territorial rights by European power
at the expense of a weak sister republic.
whether this acquisition might take the
shape of an outright and avowed seizure
of territory or Of the exercise Of control
which would in effect be equivalent to
such seizure.
This attitude was expressed in the two
following published memoranda. the

NEW CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.
Lendoner Suggests That Refrigerated

In Dread Disease.

The London Lancet questions tbs ac.
euraey Of the statement that appendI.
citis cases have increased during recent
years, believing that undoubtedly the
Improvement In diagnosis will account
for some Of the excess Of cases met with
at the present time. as compared with
those noted 20 or 30 years ago.
This remark IL called forth BY letter
from 3. KelIett Smith, who suggested
that the alleged increase in appendicitis
might possibly be due TO the greater
amount Of refrigerated meats eaten
nowadays Mfr. Smith pointed out that
the ingestion Of chilled or frozen food h
being especially liable to rapid decom-
position. might result In a more septle
state of the intestines than prevailed
before the days Of cold storage and mar
this greater sepsicity might, in fits turn
account for the greater virulenee n
