Well. We seem to be coming along very nicely after all. Things are be ginning to shape up and the gentlemen who ar" taking care of the relief funds hay" done whole lot "f good work and still have enough left to do d whol" lot more. The reports made at the council meeting last night show that there is very little if any absolute want in Nome and if there is any it is not known to the relief committee and Is the fault of those in want and not of those having charge of the relief
 A lot of good work has been done by the several committees in charge of the various sections of the work of relief and il is evident that everyone engaged in the work has given his best efforts to the handling of the some what trying situation The city is fortunate in the men who are dealing with the several situations that must he met and from the reports il is plain that all the situations have been met in husinesslike manner

some years ago Il democratic presi- dent had occasion to make it pretty plain to q certain European power that the doctrine laid down by Mir Munrue Was still the guiding princi
 pie of the diplomacy "f the United States when dealing with things on this side of the Atlantic. At that tim" the United States had inst commenced to build her modern navy and had rdr fact the country was absolutely un- li'rared for wa" then. as it is row. 'ny when Mir.

Tn he sure he had to get away from the handicap of the secretary of stat" before he came out in good plain English and said we would have nn interference on this when it came [" a show down Mir Wilson did have the nerve to speak his own mind and not the mind of the secretary of state and thereby he has made more of i reputation for himself as a president ana 4 man than by any other act of his administration
 But unfortunatclS what Mir. Wilson has just said bout foreign interfer- ence. as much as We admire him for his principles and for his manliness. is nothing more than Il gigantic blufr It is the same sort of q blum that Mir. to England.

 England will stand by us of course, for she has realized that the Munroe doctrine of the United States means as much to her as it does to us. It means the protection of Canada as well as the protection of Central and South America from encrochments by l Europe and It means the protection of | her possessions in the West Indies.

COMMISSIONER MCLEOD
 DISPUTES MELLEN.
Other Boston Men Deny Some
 Parts of His Interview.

Boston, Nov Recommending on a long statement from Charles s. Mel len, published yesterday, Frederick J. Mcleod, chairman of the public ser- vice commission, said last night that he did not agree with MT. MelIen'e
 claim that he could have kept up the 8 per cent. dividend on New York, New Haven & Hartford stock if continued as president of that system.
 There was no possibility Of Mr. Mel1en's maintaining the dividend, for the condition of the road has been such for years that well informed peo- pie have known that the 8 per cent paid in the past was not earned,'' he said.
 tsOne incidental point in his article which I believe of greater importance than might at first appear continued MT Mcleod, "iS his statement that no president of railroad or transporta- ton company should receive more than $25,000 a year salary. Where presi- dents of railroads or transportation companies are paid more than they know their services are worth, it robs them of their independence in the man agement of their roads, and makes them willing to carry out policies of which they disapprove without pro- test

 ftIt isn't true that the bankers al- lied with our house are responsible for the New Haven turmoil,'' said Chas. A. Stone, head of the banking house of Stone & Webster.
 George Won L. Meyer, former secre- tary of the navy, and chairman of the stockholders protective committee of the New Haven," gave out a state ment last night denying MT.
