THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Cpholds the Monroe Doctrine and Sne;-
gests a Boundary ( ommluiun.
Washington. Dec. li. President
Cleveland's message, accompanying the
correspondence with England on the
Venezuelan boundary dispute, says
'To the congress:
In my annual message addressed to
the congress on the 3rd instant. I called
attention to the pending boundary con
troversy between (ireat Britain and the
republic of Venezuela and recited the
substance of a representation made by
this government to her Britannic ma
jesty's government suggesting reasons
why such dispute should be submitted
to arbitration for settlement and in
quiring whether it would be so sub
mitted. "The answer of the British govern
ment, which was then awaited but has
since been received with the dispatch
to which it is a reply, is hereto ap
pended. Lord alisbarya Criticism.
'Such reply is embodied in two com
munications addressed by the British
prime minister to Sir Julian Paunce
lote, the British ambassador at this
capital. It will be seen that one of
those communications is devoted ex
clusively to observations upon the Mon
roe doctrine ana claims that in the
present instance a new and strange ex
tension and development of this doc
trine is insisted on by the United
States, that the reasons justifying an
appeal to the doctrine enunciated by
President Monroe are geuerally inap
plicable 'to the state of things in which
we live at the present day,' and espe
cially inapplicable to a controversy in
volving the boundary line between
CJreat Britain and Venezula.
"Without attempting extended argu
ment in rep'y to these positions, it mar
not be amiss to suggest that the doc
trine upon which we stand is strong
and sound, because its enforcement is
important to our peace and safety as a
nation and is essential to the integrity
of our free institutions and the tranquil
maintenance of our distinctive form of
government. It was intended to apply
to every stage of our national life and
cannot become obsolete while our re
public endures. If the balance of pow
er is justly a cause for jealous anxiety
among the governments of the old
world, and a subject for our absolute
non-interference, none the less is an ob
servance of the Monroe doctrine of vi
tal concern to our people and their gov
ernment. Monro Doctrine Applicable.
"AssaminT, therefore, that we may
properly insist upon this doctrine with
out regard to the state of thincre in
which we live, or any changed condi
tions here or elsewhere, it is not appar
ent why its application may not be in
voked in the present controversy.
"If a Europeau power, by an exten
sion of its boundaries, takes possession
of the territory of one of our neighbor
ing republics against its will and in der
ogation of i's rights, it is difficult to see
why, to that extent, such European
power does not thereby attempt to ex
tend its system of government to that
portion of this continent which is thu
taken. This is the precise action which
lresident Monroe declared to be dan
gerous to our pe:ice ami safe ty, and it
can make no difference whether the
European system is extended by an ad
Tance of frontier or otherwise.
'It i also suggested iu the British
reply that 'we aiiouid not seek to apply
the Monroe doctrine to the pending
dispute, because it does not embodv
any principle of international law
which is founded on the general con
sent of nations.' and that 'no states
man, however eminent, and no nation,
however powerful, are competent to
Insert into the code of international
law a novel principle which was never
recognized before, and which has not
been accepted by the government of
any other country.'
"Practically, the principle for which
we contend has peculiar, if not ex
clusive, relation to the United states.
It may not have been admitted in so
many words to the code of interna
tional law. but since in international
councils every nation is entitled to the
rights belonging to it. if the enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine is some
thing we may justly claim, it has its
place in the code of international law
as certainly and as securely as if it
were peciiically mentioned, and when
the United States is a suitor before the
high tribunal That administers inter
national law, the question to be de
termined is whether or not the present
claims which the justice of that code of
law oan find to be right and valid. .

conditions, states: 'In declaring that
the United State would resist any
such enterprise if it was i-ontempiated.
President Monroe adopted a policy
which received the entire sympathv of
the English government of that date.'
He further declares: 'Though the lan
guage of Preiiieot Monroe is directed
to the attjinmei.t of objects which
most Englishmen would agree to be
salutarv, it is impossible to admit that
they have been inscribed by any ade
quate authority in the code of interna

cur with the view which President
Monroe apparentlv entertained, that

torial distribution in that hemisphere

any European state wouia oe a mguiv
inexpedient change.'
"In the belief that the doctrine for
which we ontend was clear and defi
nite, that it was founded upon sub
stantial considerations and involved our
safety and welfare, that it was fully
applicable to our present conditions
and to the state of the world's progress
and that it was directly related to the
pending controversy and without any
conviction as to the final merits of the
dispute, but anxious to learn in a satis
factory and conclusive manner whether
Ureal Britain sought, uuder a claim of
boundary, to extend her possessions on
tiiis continent without right.or whether
she merely sought possession of terri
tory fairly included within her line of
ownership, this government proposed
to the government of Great Britain a
resort to arbitration as the proper
means of settling the question, to the
end that a vexatious bouudary dispute
between the two contestants might be
determined and our exact standing and
relation in respect to the controversy
might be made clear.
Kngiaml Krfuirn to Arbitrate.
"It will be seen from the correspond
ence herewith submitted that this prop
osition has been declined by the British
government, upon grounds which. iD
the circumstauces, seem to me to be f ai
from satisfactory. It is deeply disap
pointing that stich an appeal, actuated
bv the most friendlv feelings toward
both nations directly concerned, ad
dressed to the sense of justice and to
the magnanimity of one of the great
powers of the world and touching its
relations to one comparatively weak
and small, should have produced no
better results.
"The course to be pursued by this
eovernmeut. in view of the present
condition, does not appear to admit of
serious doubt. Having labored faith
fully for many years to induce (ireat
Britain to submit this dispute to im
parta 1 arbitration, and having been
now finally apprised of her refusal to
do bo, nothing remains but to accept
the situation, to recognize its plain re
quirements and deal with it accordingly
CJreat Britain's present proposition has
never thus far been regarded as annus
sible by Venezuela, though any adjust
ment of the boundary which that coun
try may deem for her advantage and
may enter into of her own free will
cannot of course be objected to by the
United States.
Assuming, however, that the atti
tnde of V enezuela will remain un
changed, the dispute has reached such
a stage as to make it now incumbent
upon the United States to take meas
ures to determine with sufficient cer
taintv for its justification what is the
true divisional line between the repub
lie of enezuela and British Guana
The inanirv to that end should, of

OLNEY'S VIGOROUS NOTE.
Bit
Demand on England to Arbitrate
Written In Strong Term.
Washington, Deo. IS. Secretary
Olney's letter addressed to Ambassa
dor Bayard is dated July 20.
The secretary begins by stating that
the presiden has given much anxious
thought to the subject and has not
reached a conclusion without a lively
sense of its great importance as well as
of the serious possibility involved in
any action now to be taken. He then
romments on the long duration of the
boundary dispute, the "indefinite''
claims of both parties, "the continuous
growth of the undefined British claims."
the fate of the various attempts at ar
bitration of the controversy and the
part in the matter heretofore taken by
the United States. He shows that the
British claims since the Schomburg
line was run have moved the frontier
of British Guiana farther and farther
to the westward of the line proposed by
Lord Aberdeen in 1844.
The above he reiterates in a sum
mary comprising the whole situation. in
which he calls attention to Venezuela's
attempt for years to arbitrate and
Great Britain's continued refusal, un
less Venezuela should first renounce in
England's favor a large part of Vene
zuela's claims. He also says that the
disparity in strength of the parties is
such that Venezuela can hope to estab
lish her claim only through peaceful
methods. He then says that the inter
ference of the United States is either
meddling or it is action based on a
right and duty, which, if this country
has the power sufficient, shall be up
held. A Nation Can Interfere.
The secretary lays it down aa a
canon of international law that a na
tlon may justly interpose iu a contro
versy between other nations whenever
"what is done or proposed by any other
parties primarily concerned is a seri
ous and direct menace to its own in
tegrity, tranquility or welfare." The
propriety of the rule when applied in
good faith will not be questioned in
any quarters, though he says it has
been given a wide scope and too often
made a cloak tor schemes of wanton
spoliation and aggrandizement. This
leads him up to an elaborate review of
the Monroe doctrine, and Secretary
Olney, stating that the proposition that
America is in no part open to coloniza
tion having long been conceded, says
that our present concern is with the
other practical application of the Mon
roe doctrine, viz. : That American non
intervention iu Europe necessarily im
plied European' non-intervention in
American affairs, the . disregard of
which by any European power is to be
deemed an act ot unfriendliness to
ward the United States. On this point
the secretary says:
'The pie ise scope' and limitations of
(his) role cannot bee top .clearly appre
hended. It does not establish any gen
eral protectorate by the United btates
over other American states. It does
not relieve any American state from its
obligations as fixed by international
law, nor prevent any European power
directly interested irom eniorcing sucu ,
obligations or from inflicting merited
punishment lor the breach of them. It
does not contemplate any interference
in the internal affairs of any American :
state or in the relations between !
it and other American states. It
does not justify any attempt on our
part to change the established form cf
government of any American fctate or
to prevent the people of such state from
altering that form according to their
own will and pleasure. The rule in
question has but a single purpose and
object. It is that no European power
or combination of European powers
shall forcibly deprive an American
state of the rights and power of self-
goveriiment and of shaping lor itseii
its own political iortunes ana aes-
times.
ConrrrM Most Have Sanctioned It.
The secretary says it is man fest that
a rule which has been openly and uni
formly acted upon by the executive
branch of th government for 70 years
must have had the sanction oi congress.
Nor, he adds, if the practical results of
the rule be sought for, is the record
either meager or obscure. Its first ef
fect was indeed momentous and lar-
reaching. It was the component factor
in the emancipation of bouth America
and to it the independent states of that
region are largely indebted for their
very existence. Since then the most
striking single achievement to be cred
ited to the rule is the evacuation of
Mexico by the French. But we are al
so indebted to it for the Clayton-Bul-wer
treaty, neutralizing any inter
oceanic canal across Central America
and excluding Great Britain from any
dominion there. It has been used in
the case of Cuba, as if justifying -the
position that, while the sovereignty or
Spa'n will ne respected, me isiuna win
not be permitted to become the posses
sion of any other European power. It
has "been influential in bringing about
the definite relinquishment of any sup
posed protectorate by Great Britain
over the Mosquito coast. President
Polk relied upon it, though, perhaps.
erroneously, to prevent the tranfer of
Yucatan; General Grant, in tne same
spirit, declared that existing dependen
cies were no longer a subject of trans
fer lrom one European power to an
other; and another development is
found In the objection to arbitration of
South American controversies by a Eu
ropean power; and . Secretary Bayard
resisted the enforcement of the Pelle-
tier claim against Haiti, declaring that
"Serious indeed would be the conse
quences if European hostile foot should.
without just cause, trod tnose states 10
the new world which have emancipat
ed themselves from European control."
Interest Secured by Blood.
The secretary then says that the pe
le of the United States have a vitnl
uterest in the cause of popular self-
government, which they have secured
at the cost of infinite blood and treas
ure It is in that view, more than any
other, that they will not tolerate the
political control of the American states
by the forcible assumption ox a Euro
pean power, tne united oiaies is
todav practioally sovereign on this con-
tineut. and its fiat is law. All Die ad
vantages of this superiority are at once
imperiled if the principle be admitted
that European powers may convert
American states into colonies of their
own. ine principle couia pe easily
availed of and any power doing so
would immediately secure a base of
military operations against us, and it is
not inconceivable that the struggle
now going on for the acquisition of
Africa inisjht be transferred to South
America. The consequence to the
United States would be disastrous.
Loss of prestige would be the least of
them. We would be compelled to main
tain a large army and navy.
f-aid he: "Our just apprehensions
are not to be allayed by suggestions of
the good will of European powers to
wards us. for the people of the United
States have learned in the school of ex
perience to what extent the relations"of
states depend, not upon sentiment or
principle, but upon selfish interests.
They will not soon forget that in their
hour of distress all their anxieties and
burdens were aggravated by the possr
bility of demonstrations against their
national life on the part of powers, es'
teoially France and Great Britain, with
whom they had long maintained the
most harmonious relations. How
France seized Mexico, and if that coun
try and England could have got a foot
hold they would likely have dismem
bered the nation. From that grave peril
we were saved in the past, and may be
saved again in the future, through the
operation of the sure and silent voice
of the doctrine proclaimed by Presi
dent Monroe."
His clear and unmistakable position
on the Monroe doctrine laid down. Sec
retary Olney goes at some length into
the Venezuelan dispute, affirming that
tne British claim in two years appar
ently was extended some 33,000 square
miles so as to command the mouth of
the Orinoco and dismissing as value
less tne contention that Ureat Britain s
possession of Venzuela gives it any
right to be treated as 'an American
state. He shows where Great Britain
has arbitrated other boundary disputes.
and declares that It, in effect, savs to
Venezuela yon are not strong enough
to get anything by force and we won't
arbitrate unless you first give up part
or tne territory, mis, ne says, amounts
to invasion and conquest, and our duty
is summed up as follows:
"In these circumstances the duty of
the president appears to him unmis
takable and imperative. Great Britain's
assertion ot title to the disputed terri
tory, combined with her refusal to
have that title investigated, being a
substantial appropriation of the terri
tory to her own use, not to protest and
give warning that the transaction will
be regarded as injurious to the inter
ests of the people of the United States.
as well as oppressive, in itself would be
to ignore an established policy with
which the honor and welfare of this
country are closely identified. While
the measures necessary or proper for
the vindication of that policy are to be
determined by another branch of the
government it Is clearly for the execu
tive to leave nothing undone which
may tend to render such determination
unnecessary."
LORD SALISBURY'S NOTES.
be nndeiV od is accepting the Jlonroe
doctrine. International law being
founded o the general law of nations,
no statesn .u and no nation, however
powerful, -an inject a novel principle
not acceptable to any other govern
ment, and Secretary Olney's pnuciple
thaf'American questions are for Amer
ican decision" (unsustained by Mon
roe) cannot be sustained by interna
tional law. The United States cannot
att.rni that it's interests are concerned
in American states because they are
American, no more than if they were
Japan cr China Monroe's language
was never admitted to be international
law, and the danger of such admission
is shown by the "strange develop
ments ' which the doctrine has received
at Secretary Olney's bands. A fair in
ference from Mr." Olney's arguments,
Lord Salisbury says, is that the Mon
roe doctrine meaus that the union be
tween Great Britain and her colonies
in America is "inexpedient and unnat
ural," something disclaimed by .Mon
roe and emphatically denied by her
majesty's government and the Ameri
can people subject to the crown. Con
curring in Monroe's view that a dis
turbance of territorial distribution m
the western hemisphere winld be inex
pedient it does not admit this to be in
ternational law and cannot accept the
doctrine that the United States is en
titled to demand arbitration of territor
ial disputes between states.
Lord Salisbury's second note, dated
also Julv 2, deals entirely with the
boundary dispute on its merits, begin
ning with a statement that Great
Britain does not recognize that any
other country has material interest in
the controversy, yet makes the state
ment in thi9 fashion because, owing tc
the rupture of diplomatic relations, it
is not otherwise possible to communi
cate it to the Venezuelan government.
Lord Salisbury asserts that Seoretary
Olney, acting on an ex-parto presenta
tion of the case by Venezuela. has fallen
into much misapprehension, ne en
ters into an elaborate history of tne
British claim, founded on the Dutch
cession, reus now tne oeieoraieu
Schomburg line was run. of many
concessions offered by Great Britain to
enezuela to reach an arrangement,
and suggests that the Venezuelan insist
ence upon the arbitration of the whole
territory would be paralleled Dy a re
fusal of Great Britain to arbitrate the
Alaskan boundary line unless half of
Alaska was thrown into arbitration.
Denies Oar Right to Apply the Monroe
Doctrine In the Present Dispute.
Washington, Dec. 18. Lord Salis-
oury answers secretary Olney in two
notes, both of date July 26.
ne nrsi is devoted entirely to a re
ply to that portion of the note relating
to the Monroe doctrine, which he says
the United Stalee has never written
about to any gOAernment before.
Lxrd Salisbury says that this doc
trine has undergone a "notable devel
opment since its enunciation by Presi-
aent .Monroe, wnicn nad originally re
ceived tne entire sympathy of the Eng
ish government. But the dangers appre
hended by President Monroe, Lord
Salisbury says, have no relation to the
conditions of the present day, when
there is no danger of analliance or
of attempts at European colonization of
America. Great Britain "is imposing
no "system' upon Venezuela, nor con
concerning herself with Venezuelan
political institutions. The dispute over
a boundary has nothing to do with any
of the questions dealt with by Monroe.
The latter did not claim for the Umtd
States the "novel prerogative" of set
tling a frontier difference of this kind,
nor did he seek to establish a protect
orate over Mexico or the Central Amer
ican states. So, if the United States
will not control the conduct of these
communities it cannot undertake to
protect them from the consequences
attaching to their misconduct. Arbi
tration is not free from defects, and
the claim of a third nation to impose it
on two interested nations cannot be
reasonably justified and has no founda
tion iu the law of nations.
Lord Salisbury expresiy declines to

2939 Washington Street, )
To All Sick IFomen: -Roxbury, Mass., April 20, 1895. )
I feel it my duty to publish the wonderful help Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been to me.
I was like a crazy person; could not eat or sleep ; there was no rest for me day or
night.
Physicians examined me and said an operation was necessary. Before undergoing
it, however, I determined to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound. I am so glad I did,
for it cured me. I am a well woman now, and can do any kind of work.
I want this published throughout the land, so that, all my suffering sisters may
read, and if in any way affected with female troubles they may be induceJ by my
sincere statement to try' this wonderful Vegetable Compound and be cured.
Mrs. Margaklt Bam ford.
Intelligent women no longer doubt the value of
Lydia E Piiiknamts Vegetable Compound They
openly acknowledge that it does positively cure the
multitude of painful ailments peculiar to women
Druggists everywhere sell it. wco
t Lydia E. Pinkham's Liver Fills and Sanative Wash Assist the Compound Wonderfully.

has

be-em-city
Philadelphia, Deo. 13. Philadel
phia is all bnt at the mercy of a g&ng
of hoodlums, and the traction strike W
not yet 36 hoars old. Not a 6treet car
of the Union Traction company is run
ning, and that company controls every
line in the city, with the exception of
two comparatively short cross town 1
lines. The police are absolutely una
ble to control the mob
Howling mob9 have surrounded each
oar. stoned and hooted the motorman
and conductor, smashed the windows,
cut the trolley ropes and wreaked all
possible destruction. The strikers have
taken little if any part in the work of
destruction. This was in the hands of
the rowdy element. Many persons
were injured by flying missiles, and
there is fear that when complete re
ports have been received they will in
clude fatalities, and thousands of dol
lars' worth of valuable property was
destroyed.
Five hundred extra policemen h ave
been sworn in by Mayor Warwick, and
these, with the regular force of 2.10.
are making an attempt to quell the
rioters today. They have orders from
Mayor Warwick to carry their batons
nnbheathed. fchould this fail the gov
ernor will be appealed to to order out
the militia. The citv'8 executive
declared in unmistakable terms
the strike is no longer a contest
tween a railway company and its
ployes, but a battle between the
and violence, and the city will win if
it takes the United States army. The
staff officers of the national guard of
Pennsylvania are in their armories, uni
formed and armed in case of need. The
mayor has closed the saloons. ;
The war itself remains unchanged.
The traction leaders refuse to listen to
any spggetion from the other side,
and indeed no effort is being made in
that direction. The strikers remain
firm and have the sympathy of the
people.
J. J. Sullivan, president of the elec
tric traction, one of the branch lines,
was recognized by a mob at Fourth and
Market streets, and the clothes were al
most torn from his back before police
men rescued him.
Separate letters were sent to the
mayor "by the traction officials, declar
ing that the city and county will be
held responsible for the value of the
property destroyed.
There are all sorts of rumors. One is
that the electricians of the company
will join the ranks of the malcontents.
Another that armies of railway work
ers are bound for this city from Brook
lyn, Baltimore. Indianapolis and other
points, either to assist or take the places
of the strikers. Over 100 arrests have
Deen made. One youth, not a striker,
was held in f 4,000 bail for cutting a
rope on a mail car. He will be a gov
ernment prisoner. Large details of po
lice are on daty at every car stable and
at points along the principal thorough
fares. Women are taking an active part in
the strike, helping smash the cars and
persuading men to quit work.
tiovernor Hastings has telephoned
Mayor Warwick asking if he needed
any aid from him.. A negative reply
was given. The governor then said
should the least occasion arise to call
on him at once.
The mayor baa issued three proclam
ations, calling on the people to pre
serve the peace.
Metalworker Owen has been given his
freedom by Inspector Stuart of Chicago
