were there. At a trial of two men. named
Jewell and Skinnerton. who were charged
with an offense somewhat common in Lon
don. that of Systematically stealing valu-
able dogs and obtaining rewards by restor-
ing them to their owners.
Archdeacon Wherefore was there with
his daughter. who had been deprived of her
pet. an Aberdeen terrier. the animal having
suddenly disappeared while it was walking
along the street with her. She got 1t back.
but recognized the two men to whom she
had paid $40 for its restoration.
Violet. Lady Beaumont, appeared to give
evidence regarding her black chow. Skin-
merton restored It and received SIS from her
ladyship. She requested her butler to ask
Skinnerton to undertake that the dog should
not be stolen again. Skinnerton replied he
could not undertake that, but advised that
the dog had better not go out by itself.
The Honorable Mrs. Russell Of Charlton.
Kent, whilst staying at Queen Gate Gar
dens, lost a French poodle named Sammy.
The dog was in court. but was not very
responsive when addressed by his pet name.
Upon Skinnerton's calling him Niger from
the dock he pricked up his ears immediate
ly. This gave rise to a contention in the
prisoners behalf that Mrs. Russells idend-
fication Of the dog. although she said she
was positive. was a mistaken one.
Mrs. Edward Clare of Montpelier Square
lost a fox terrier. for the return of which
Skinnerton received a reward of SIS. As
other evidence was expected, the prisoners
were remanded for a week.

MILITARY SENTIMENT IS RIGID.
Because Heir to Throne Will MOI
Challenge Professor Giron, He
Must Give Up His

Berlin, Jan. GA curious story, told in
the provincial and Berlin papers this morn
ing, is that the Crown Prince of saxony is
to %renounce his succession to
the throne in favor of his son, George, who
is 10 years of age.
The reason given is that the military
code of honor does not permit q husband in
MS situation to remain in the service. and
the crown Prince. as commander of the
First Army Corps Of Saxony and as the
future commander Of the entire Saxon
contingent. must pass on the findings of
military courts of honor. which, in circum-
stances similar to those of the Crown
Prince. require a challenge or the laying
aside of the uniform.
The Crown Prince. it is added. is scarcely
expected to challenge Professor Giron. the
teacher or languages, who eloped with the
Crown Princess, but opinion in the army is
go rigid on points OF honor that the Crown
Prince Is regarded as ineligible for review
ing the decisions of courts of honor and

The Rheinische Courier Of Wiesbaden
says without reservation that the Crown
Prince has renowned his right to sue

CHORUS GIRL is SAID
TO HAVE WON A DUKE.

SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE new YORK
HERALD AND II ST. LOUIS
London Jan. 3l.-(Copyright, 1sO3.-It has
been darkly intimated in a weekly paper
that a certain chorus girl has a great
chance OF becoming a Duchess. This init
nation has caused q great deal Of con-
occurring. for, after all. the Duke of Rox-
burgheist is the only unmarried Duke OF
manageable age, and he is not at all the
sort of young man to make this sort of an
alliance.
Then. when one comes to review the list
of elder sons or heirs of Dukes. one cannot
find any ore who is at all likely to make
| such a fool of himself. Lord Hamilton, who
is a son of the Duke of Abercorn. is mar
ried. The Duke of Argyll has no children.
His heir is Mcneil Campbell-of course. aft
er his father. Lord Archibald Campbell.
Lord T%ullebard!ne. eldest son Of the Duke
of Atholl, is married. Lords Worcester and
LarestocS. sons of the Dukes Of Beaufort
| and Bedford, are both children. Lord Dali
keith is married. The heir to the Devon
| shire Dukedom, NJ. Victor Cavendish, is
married, and the sons of the Dukes OF
Leeds, Manchester and Marlborough are ba-
bies. Lord Graham, son Of the Duke of
| Montrose, is abroad. and 1 have not heard
of him distinguishing himself with any
lights of the chorus.
Surely Lord Francis Hope is not going to
make another faux pas. though 1 have
heard that his marriage with his cousin is
not likely to take place. The Duke of Nor
folk has no child, but, Of course, Lord Ed
| mund Talbot has a son, who will eventually
be Duke, all the while supposing the Duke
does not marry again. Lord Percy, the fu-
| tlre Duke of Northumberland, Is married.
and 1 cannot find out that Lord Wark-
worth. his son, is thinking Of conducting to
the hymeneal altar a lady of the chorus.
! Lord Litchfield. the future Duke OF Port
| land, is otherwise engaged in nursery
Nobody credits Lord March with a third
marriage, although one day he will be Duke
of Richmond. Lord CRANKY, as all the world
knows. js married. 1t is not at all likely
that the little Lord Rose is contemplating
attempting aiding. an actress to the long
line of Duchesses of Rutland. The Duke OF
st. Adams Is too great an invalid to be in
the reckoning, and rumor has never busied
itself with his brother. Lord Osborne de
We're Beauclerk. who for some time has
been in the Seventeenth Lancers. The Duke
of Somerset has no son. Lord Stafford, the
future Duke of Sutherland, Is not old
enough to think of marrying yet. The Duke
Of Westminster has no son. At present Lord
Douro, who will one day be Duke Of Well
lington. is also out of the reckoning.

recent trial Of two women, named Sach and

The fact is that. as the law at present

SPECIAL. BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND HI ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.
London. Jan. S1-(Copyright. 1907. 1.-THE
February number of the National Review
contains a very timely article by Captain
Mahan on the Monroe Doctrine. He points
out that the United States considers It
Essential to her interests and to those of
peace to Withstand the beginnings of Euro
pean Intervention in the internal concerns
Of an American State"
Dealings with the Venezuelan dispute, he
remarks;
Such an occurrence as the existing diff
ficulty between Venezuela, Germany and
Great Britain engages instant and sensitive
attention. This does not imply a doubt OF
the wisdom and firmness of the Govern
inent, but indicates an instructive political
apprehension, not elected by greater and
immediate interests In quarters external to
the American continents.
Not to invade the rights of an American
State is to the United States an obligation
with the force of law. To permit no Euro
pean State to influence them is a matter of
policy.
But as she Will not acquiesce in any as
sault upon their independence or territorial
integrity, so she will not countenance by
her support any Sinking of their inter
national responsibility. Neither will she
ututi taht u ttIHptl tutul 10 ODSSTNe tnSlr
international oblig atoms TO others than her
self.
THE United States is inevitably the pre-
ponderant American Power, but she does
not aspire to be paramount. She does not
find the true complement of the Monroe
Doctrine in an underlined control over
American States, exercised by her and de-
MED TO Europe.
Its correlative, as forcibly urged by
John Quincy Adams at the time of its for
nation, and since explicitly adopted by the
national consciousness, is abstention from
interference in questions territorially Euro
pean.
In my apprehension, and, construed by
the doctrine. this would include Africa.
with the Levant, India and the countries
between them. 1t would not include Japan.
China. nor the Pacific generally. The United
States might. for very excellent reasons.
abstain from action in any of these last
named quarters in any particular instance.
but the deterrant cause would not be the
Monroe Doctrine in the legitimate deduc-
tiOn."
