The Position Of Our Government.
U3y the Associated Press.)

Washington, January 3.-TEe State
Department has received confirnatory
adVices from PEEK Of the d~ecIination Of
the powers to receive their second in
dennity instal!ments on the silver basis.
1t is not understood that the declination
was accompanied by a threat, but the
action itself is regarded as sinister, if
IS has been suggested, it IS not taken
with a view TO making a record of the
position OF the powers in this matter.
The situation is regarded here as war
raHting some concern, though, unless the
Washington government is &c utterly dis
credit every statement Of the powers ia
the past two years, Whenever the pos
sibility of a division Of China came up,
it cannot believe there is an intention
10 proceed TO extremes.
1t is again suggested that the time is,
ripe for reference to this important is
sue to The Hague Tribunal, q consum-
NATION deVoutIy wished for by China.
and a course which has commended itself
to the Washington government.
The United States, which is interested
equally with the other powers in getting
rs much money as it can in the shape OF
indemnity, still feels bound morally
to support the Chinese contention for
the silver basis, looking not only upon
the language of the protocol and the
Pekin treaty itself but also having a
solicitous regard for China's integrity
and perpetuity as a nation. The other
powers are united in demanding a settle
ment on the gold basis. This is an issue
which, in the mind of officials here, is
eminently adapted to the methods O
arbitration.
So far China alone has suggested a
reference to The Hague Tribunal, but i
is possible and even probable that if the
powers are going to extremes, the United
States government VIII again feel bounc
to discharge it's duty under Article - OF
The Hague Tribunal and point the way
to arbitration.

UNION RESTRAINED.

On petition of a number of complaints
including the principal transfer and
delivery companies involved in the
teamsters' strike in Omaha, Neb., Judge
Munger, of the Federal Court, last night
granted a temporary restraining order
enioining the officers of Team Drivers
International Union Local II from do
ing certain acts calculated to interfere
with interstate commerce, and command
ing them to appear in court May ~ TO
show cause why temporary injunction
should not be granted. The petition
was filed by attorneys representing seven
delivery companies, five coal dealers,
one lumber company, one jObber and a
department store. In their petition the
complainants recite the terms of the
contract the team drivers union asked
them to sign, and their particular OBJ
lection to that clause therein which pro
yides that "no teamster shall be dis
charged, laid off or docked in his time
or pay for refusing to haul goods to or
from any house for firm, corporation
or contractor declared to be unfair by
the labor unions" and then go on to
relate particular instances in which by
threats. intimidation and violence the
strikers have interfered with their law
full business.
1t is alleged that threat was made
by one of the strikers that if Walter
Jardine undertook to do business with
non-union drivers he would be assaulted
and killed. 1t is further alleged that
interstate commerce was interfered with
when the strikers stopped goods in transit
from Omaha to Council Bluffs, and from
one freight depot to another in Omaha.
The order issued by Judge Manger is
of the most sweeping nature. More
than 800 of the teamsters' union are
named in the order, which restraints the
men, in part, as follows
First-From in any manner posting
or keeping posted in or about the places
of business of your orators, or any OF
them, pickets instructed or directed to
challenge, stop, threaten or intimidate
any of the employees of your orators, or
all or any of them, from preceding with
their work and service as such employees,
and from in any manner interfering
with any of the employees by violence,
threats of personal injury, calling of
vile names or offensive epithets, or any
other conduct calculated or intended by
intimidation or humiliation to prevent
any of the employees of your orators, or
any of them, from continuing in said
employment, or performing the services
for which they are employed.

BRITISH MONROE DOCTRINE. Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne has proclaimed a
British Monroe doctrine in the Persian
Gulf, and has practically notified the
competing powers that any attempt on
their part to establish naval base or
fortified post in those waters means war
with Great Britain. 81 say without
hesitation, said the Foreign Secretary,
dealing with the subject in the House Of
Lords Tuesday evening, "that we should
regard the establishment of a naval base
of a fortified port in the Persian Gulf by
any other power as a very grave menace
to British interests, and we should
certainly resist it with all the means at
our disposal" Lord Lansdowne pre-
ceded this explicit enunciatiOn of British
policy by a review of the situation there,
as itaffected British interests, contending
that so faras thenavigation ofthe Persian
Gulf was concerned Great Britain held a
position different from that of the other
powers, both because it was owing TO
British enterprise and expenditure OF
life and money that the gulf was now
open to the commerce Of the world, and
because the protection of the sea route
to India necessitated British predomi-
nance in the gulf The newspapers Of
London comment on the analogy of the
present proceeding, which Captain
Mahan so strongly recommended, to the
United States policy of Monroeism.
The Westminster Gazette holds that the
British mOtive-namely, protection OF
the sea route to India-cOrresponds ex-
actly with the Americans motive in ex-
Guiding European powers from American
waters, because their territory is thereby
threatened.
