A Dangerous Doctrine.

"A private contract would thus be

The note in which this government
made known To the United States its
opinion upon the matter merely pointed
out the dangers 10 the nations of this
continent involved in the doctrine.
..As first the comments made upon this
communication before its exact terms
were known were not generally favor
a reaction of public opinion in Europe
as we'll as in America, and it was recog-.
nized as being justified. and it was ad-
mitted that In the circumstances OF the
case We could assume no other attitude.
The Argentine note was. in reality
confined to the enunciation of elemen-
tary principles, including the indisput-
able rights of these nationaiities TO
grow and be developed under the shell
self to a certain sovereignty of ma
tions it expresses at the same time
the eommotion and alarm which would
be produced by any act OF colonization
or conquest in any region OF the colony.
1T is understood that this republic

alliances, but has merely stated its
views respecting European Intervention

A. W. Machen did not maintain his de-

superintendent of free delivery in the
Postoffice Department. To outsiders he
was unmoved by the storm OF investi-

Now. it appears, Mr. Machen's attitude
TO the reporters and the public was only a
bluff. and instead of staying in office

science. he stayed because R. j. Wynne,

Mr.. Wynne. and that in return, proceed
ings against him be dropped The
proposition was fatty rejected by Mi
Wynne, who was backed in his course by
Mr. Bristow, although at that time the
alleged frauds in the division had not
been sufficiently revealed to warrant an
arrest.
After Machen himself had failed in the
attempt to have mis- resignation accept
ed. outsiders went to work on the same
proposition. influential men called on
Mr.. Wynne, and interceded for the su-
perintendent. Other men argued with
Mr.. Bristow that the easiest way to set
tie the scandal agitation, and clear the
political atmosphere, was to let Machen
step down and out in quiet and easy
manner. Mr.. Wynne and Mr.. Bristow
positively refused to relent, or make
any concessions. Machen did not resign,
because his resignation would not have
been accepted.
Relatives Plead His Cause
Relatives got into the game and
pleaded with Messrs. Wynne and Bris-
tow that Machen. in view of his promi-

tended some consideration, but the in

with questions of international policy in
a strikinely firm manner Among other
things. President Roca says:
Much emotion was felt in America in
consequence of the Intervention of some
European nations in Venezuela, one
cause alleged for il being the omission
to meet the service of the debt contract
ed by that nation in order TO carry out
some public works. This led TO the sup
position That when foreign citizens or
subjects contracted for loans CT a public
character the state to which they belong
is also a party to the operations, al
though the lenders might not have relied
upon that intervention and might have
calculated the circumstances of the hor-
rowing country in order to fix the condi-,
tions of the loan.

Chicago, Jan. 23.--In two weeks the
wheat markets of the world have been
changed from extrenae lethargy to activ-
ity by J. Ogden Armour and the price in
the Chicago market has advanced from
II cents to over 81 cents for May. The
demand from the speculative public and
from abroad Is increa sing. H. =. 4.
Mr.. Arnour's purchases in two weeks
are estimated by wheat traders at fully
100000 bushels, at from Is cents up.
He has taken 1,000,0 900 to 5000, 900 bushels

over three quarters al a cent at any time

position to know say that the market is

The most striking piece Of news on the
board yesterday was the reported sale of
1000 barrels of -four at Minneapolis to
go to the Philippines This came on top
of the sale OF 10000 barrels to Australia,
made Wednesday. These countries have
formerly purchased their supplies on the
Pacific coast, but the, supply there is
rather short owing toSstlle local require
ments and the growing oriental trade.
1t Is said Mr.. Armour has had careful
estimates made OF the wheat left in farm
ers' hands and that. he thinks that it is
much smaller than is generally thought
for.

CAPTURED 40 GUNS
Why Two High Glass Soldiers Are
in the Guardhouse.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Disclosure was made
yesterday that powerful influences have
been at work in Washington to divert the
usual process Of army courts martial for
the purpose of Hberating two soldiers now
in the guard house at Fort Sheridan on
serious charges. One Of the prisoners is
the son Of Henry w. Leonard, prom
inent New York lawyer, and the other is
the son Of Rev: Henry G. Swentzel, an
Episcopalian minister Of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The accused soldiers were sergeants in
Troop L of the Second cavalry. They en-
listed together two years ago in New
York in the hope that they would see
active service In the Philippines. Both
possessing the advantages Of good edu-
cation, they rapidly advanced through the
non commissioned grades until Swentzel
was chosen to act as first sergeant and
Leonard was appointed troop clerk.
Baked in their plans for Philippine
service, the chums turned to an effort for
commissions. They studied for examina-
ton and the influence of kinsmen prom
ised that they would soon win shoulder
straps.
Evil associations, however, entangled
them in trouble. They are accused G.
having appropriated more than forty
army revolvers and of having sold or
caused their sale for their own profit

COFFEE HEART.

a famous authority, said in a recent issue:
Medical examiners for life insurance
companies have added the term Coffee
Heart to their regular classification of the
functional arrangements of that organ
It's effect is in shortening the long beat
of the heart. Coffee Topers,' they say,
are plentiful and as much tied to their
cups as the whisky topper. The effect of
coffee upon the heart is more lasting and
consequently worse than that Of liquor

cases. He has had many such. He says

was treating all the time but got worse. 3
Il soon found out that she had coffee

way: I forbade her coffee and put her
on Postum Cereal Coffee instead. She
reported in five weeks and said she had
not had a bad spell since and felt sound and
well. This was four years ago and she
is now a picture of perfect health and
happiness.
