NEW POINTS BY HILL
The Senator Expounds the
Monroe Doctrine.
United States Not .Pledged To As
sume a Protectorate at All Times—
Discrimination 3lust Be Exercised
Between Legitimate Disputes and
Illegitimate Purposes.
Albany, April 22.—1n view of the
general interest which is now being at
tracted to the subject of this country's
relations with foreign governments and
especially the discussion now in progress
tegurding the true features of the much
talked of "Monroe Doctrine," a repre
sentative of the United Press interviewed
Senator Hill at his residence, "Wolfert's
Roost," in the suburbs of this city, upon
this interesting topic. Senator Hill was
asked, among other things, "Whether
experts in public law thiuk the Monroe
doctrine has given to the United States a
special right, not given by the general
law, to intervene between Great Britain
and Venezuela in the pending boundary
dispute, or assume a protectorate over
Spanish-America}"' He answered that
ho had never thought so. "But does not
the Monroe doctrine," was inquired,
"declare that the United States cannot
permit any Spanish-American republic ou
this continent to bo oppressed, or its
destiny controlled, by a European state?"
Not Legitimate Dispute.
I 4 'That would not have referred,'' he said,
"to a legitimate dispute such us we, or any
other government, might have to-morrow
with a Spanish-American state. It pro
tested against using such a controversy
with an intention to increase European
political dominion on this hemisphere, or
control the destiny of an American state,
or transfer a colony like Cuba, to a new
European owner, but did not change
what was then the law of nations. The
establishment, a year or two before 1823,
of more than a dozen independent states
at the south of us, naturally forced the
United States into new lines of thought
ami action.
Exerted a Powerful Influence.
"Jtflin Qulucy Adams, our thou min
ister of foreign affairs, had the eyes to
discern It. Entangling alliances on this
side as well as on the other side of the
ocean were to be avoided so far as could
be. We had to maintain impartial neu
trality in the affairs of the new and in
dependent Spanish-American states and
suppress as we should do to-day pirati
cal expeditions from our shores against
any of tlie'm, or any remaining European
colony. The Monroe doctrine has ex
erted a powerful influence, at home and
abroad, in regard to Cuba, Yucatan,
Nicaragua and its tribe of Mosquito In
dians, invented by England; a Napoleonic
dynasty set up thirty years ago in Mex
ico, and dominion over all the regions of
projected interoceanic canals."
Not a National Pledge.
"But, was not the Monroe declaration
to congress a national pledge, a guaran
tee of our iutervention, forcible if need
be, in behalf of each Spanish-American
republic whenever, in our opiuiou, op
pressed by a Europeau state?" was
asked. "I thiuk not," he replied. "Not
otherwise, certainly, than if Chili shall
oppress Peru, or Mexico shall be un
reasonable in dealing with Guatuamaia.
Congress has never affirmed the Monroe
doctrine. In 1808, President Johnson
projected a treaty with Colombia, which
was signed, embodying the Monroe doc
trine; but neither the Colombian senate,
nor our own senate ratified it. You re
member, that when, two years after
President Monroe made his declaration,
a congTess was convened by Bolivar at
Panama for the consideration and dis
cussion of an 'American alliance,' to en
force th" -'oclaratiou,there was substan
tiui concurrence of opinion between Pres
ident John Quincy Adams, who had
formulated the Monroe doctrine, and the
members of the senate and house, es
pecially the democrats, including Sena
tor Vun Buren of New York, participat
ing in a long debate, that the declara
tion did not pledge the United States to
forever thereafter prevent a European
power from interfering with the inde
pendence, or form of government, of a
Central American state."
Discrimination Must Be Made.
4 'So you think that President Monroe
has the reputation of having given his
name to a rule of conduct by the United
States for which neither ho nor Mr.
Adams contended?" "Precisely that,"
the senator answered. "The 'doctrine'
cannot bo formulated in a treaty, or a
statute, but yet its moral influence has
been, is, and ought to be very great.
Discrimination should, however, be made
betweon legitimate disputes and illegiti
mate purposes behind the disputes such
as imposing by force European political
control over the destiny of a reluctant
independent Spanish-American state.
.Should Not Dictate.
"In 1883 President Arthur did author
ize Secretary Frelinghuysen to go so far
as to say officially that the state depart
ment will not sanction arbitration by
European states of South American diffi
culties, even with the consent of the
parties. Two years before that, Secre
tary Blaine had written to our minister
at Paris that the president would reguYd
with gravo anxiety an attempt by France
to force, by hostile pressure, the pay
ment by Venezuela of her debt to French
citizens. Interposing our good offices
between Englaud and Venezuela is one
thing, but dictating to one or the other
In a peremptory way is a very different
thing, unless it be a clear case of self
defense."

Washington, April 22.—A report re

JAPAN'S CHEEP.
Comment of a French Journal on
the Peace Conditions.
Paris, April 22.—The Debats says in
a leader on the situation in the Orient:
"The Japanese occupation of Llao-Tong
is a menace to both Pekin and Corea.
If Japan expects Russia to renounce her
policy toward Corea, she probably has
made a great mistake. Moreover, Franco
will not leave Russia isolated in the
east, and Germany is not disposed to re
gard indifferently Japan's encroach
ments. Japan's conditions of peace are
immoderate, ller ambitions ought to
be brought down at once. England will
incur a grave responsibility if she sepa
rates herself from the test of Europe at
this decisive moment. Prior to the ex
change of the ratifications Japan ought
to see that a revision of the treaty is
necessary and effect it voluntarily."

MANACLED ON BOARD
Permission To Write Was
Denied Consul Waller.
Story of His Alleged Offense—ln
dicted on Two Charges, Violation
of an Order of the French Ad
miral Governing Correspondence
and with Writing to the Enemy.
Marseilles, April 23.—The case of John
L. Waller, formerly United States con
sul at Tamatave, Madagascar, and who,
as announced in these dispatches, ar
rived here last Saturday on board the
steamer Djemnah, is attracting consider
able attention. Mr. Waller was man
acled while on board the Djemnah, be
tween Tamatave and Majunga, on the
northwest coast of the island of Mada
gascar, but from that port on he was al
lowed to take two hours' exercise daily
on deck, guarded by a soldier.
Refused Permission To Write.
During the voyage Mr. Waller spoko
but little, although he frequently asked
to be allowed permission to write. The
French ofiicers declined to grant his re
quest. When before the court-martial,
Mr. Waller, it is claimed, refused to
speak in French, and the services of an
interpreter had to be employed. Mr.
Waller's nephew, who is 25 years of age,
is said to be implicated i/i the proceed
ings which led to his uncle's arrest, trial
and condemnation, and the young man
was condemned to expulsion from Mada
gascar. He embarked as a second-class
passenger on board the Djemnah, but
landed at Zanzibar without having been
able to communicate with his uncle.
To Undergo His Sentence.
It is thought probable that Mr. Waller
will again be called upon to appear bo
fore a court-martial. Otherwise it is ex
pected that he will be transferred to the
central prison to undergo his sentence, if
he is not taken to the island of Corsica
or to the Safety isles, one of tlnjsu places
having been selected, according to re
port, for his incarceration.
His Alleged Offense.
Paris, April 23.—The correspondent
of the Temps at Tamatave, Madagascar,
states that John L. Waller, formerly
United States consul at that place, was
indicted on two charges, namely, viola
tion of an order of the French admiral
governing correspondence, and secondly,
writing to the enemy. The evidence, it
is claimed, showed that Mr. Waller en
trusted to an officer of a steamboat a
bulky letter which was posted at Natal
and which was addressed to "M. Tessier,
Merchant, Antananarivo, via Vatomau
dry." The English mail was not
dropped at Vatomandry, but was landed
at Tamatave, where the large seulcd en
velope attracted the attention of the au
thorities.
Contained Government Secrets.
They opened it and found, it is
claimed, that it contained particulars
regarding the strength of the French
garrison, the number of sick, the im
portance of the outposts, etc. The en
velope, it is stated, also contained an en
closure addressed to Mr. Waller's friend,
E. Underwood Harvey, editor of the
Madagascar News, asking the latter to
insert it in that paper. This enclosure,
it is alleged, contained abominable cal
umnies regarding the conduct of the
French soldiers on the Island of Mada
gascar, and denounced two of Mr. Wal
ler's compatriots, American merchants,
who were going to Antananarivo, as be
ing spies in the pay of France.
Trial Lasted Only Hours.
The trial of Mr. Waller lasted only
three hours and three-quarters, and ho
was then condemned to twenty years'
imprisonment. He appealed from this
sentence, but it was eventually con
firmed. According to the correspondent
of the Temps, it was the son-in-law of
Mr. Waller, Paul Bray, a native of
Texas, and not his nephew, who accom
panied him on board the Djemnah.
Bray was expelled from Madagascar
for constant hostility to the French au
thorities and troops, and complicity
with his father-in-law iu communicating
with the enemy.

GOSSIP OF THE ARTISTS.
Tine Boston Museum of Art has re
ceived a legacy of fifty thousand dollars
for tlie purchase of modern American
paintings.
AUBREY BBARDSLEY, it is said, has
•written a play in which the characters
are to assume, as far as possible, the
forms and features of his drawings.
BERLIN proposes to have an interna
tional art exhibition next year. The
Association of Berlin Artists, with An
iton von Werner, the painter, at its
head, has the matter in charge.
AT Narbonne a Roman mosaic pave
ment eighty-six feet square was recent
ly discovered near the city cemetery.
The stones are black and white, ar
ranged in beautiful and novel designs.
A SINGLE purchaser in this country
has secured all the original Du Maurier
drawings in Trilby and Peter Ibbetson,
paying seven thousand five hundred
dollars for them. This is as much
money as it cost Queen Isabella ,to fit
out Columbus on his voyage, with all
his incidentals and etceteras.
HENRI ROCHEFORT, who has just re
turned to Paris after a long exile, has
made a fortune, it is said, in dealing in
works of art. His salary years ago on
the Figaro was thirty thousand francs,
or six thousand dollars a year. IBs va
rious publications have* also brought
him in large amounts of money.
JOHN LA FAROE, the well-known
painter, has by special invitation of the
National Society of Fine Arts, in
France, -been invited to give a special
exhibition of two hundred of his paint
ings, together with a collection of his
work in stained glass at the new salor

THROUGH EUROPE.
IN the announcements of marriages
in Spain, tiio ages of the contracting
parties are always given.
BARRELS of wine, anchors, scythes—
in fact all kinds of merchandise—are
conveyed by the post office department.
IT is the custom for house builders in
Germany to leave a small flat placo on
the roof of each house, for storks to
rest and build on.
FRANCE lias offered $100,000,000 to
King Leopold for tho Congo Free State,
in case Belgium will not take it, ac
cording to Berlin reports.
SPAIN has just ordered that all
steamers flying the Spanish flag or sub
sidized by the government shall in fu
ture carry none but Spanish engineers.
The prevailing practice is to carry at
least two British engineers, and for
merly all were British.
MORTUARY tables show that the aver
age duration of tho life of women in
European countries is something less
than that of men. Notwithstanding
this fact, of tho list of centeuariuns col
lected by the British association, a
fraction over two-thirds were women.
GERMANY'S proposal for the establish
ment of international postage stamps
is being examined by the British post
office authorities. Such a stamp would
enable correspondents to inclose re

they now cannot do. The principle has
already been adopted in tho interna
tional return postal card.

FRAUD IB CONSPIRACY
Injunction Against South

Gov. Evans, Till man and Others Ao
cuscd of Fraud at tho Polls Last
Fall—Tlie Governor Hurls Defiance
at tho Order and Declares That Ho
Will Treat It with Contempt.
Columbia, S. G\, April 23. Another
sensation has been created by the publi
cation in the State of the fact that Judge
Goff, of tlie United States circuit court,
had issued another injunction against
the stuto authorities, on the grounds
t hat tho registration act of 1882 was un
constitutional; that there was sufficient
fraud at the polls in the election last
fall to vitiate tho calling of the consti
tutional convention, that there was then
a conspiracy between Tillman, Evans
and others to commit frauds; that the
agreement between Tillman, Evans,
Barnwell, Hemphill and others was
a couspiacy to defraud the negro
of his right of suffrage; that Evans,
as governor, had sought to carry out
these conspiracies by removing notaries,
for taking affidavits from negroes; that
the illegal acts of the supervisors of
registration were part of the same con
spiracy.
Hurls Defiance at the Order.
Governor Evans hurls defiance at this
order in similar language to that em
ployed by him in referring to the in
junction against the dispensary, an I says
that he will pay no attention to it. He
made this statement to-day: "I have not
been served with any order or any paper
from Judge Goff, but from the published
accounts it seems that I have been en
joined as governor of the state of South
Carolina and Mr. McCoy, as a commis
sioner of elections of the state of Soul h
Carolina, and not as individuals. The
state of South Carolina is still sovereign
and independent, and it is my duty, un
der tlie constitution of the state, to exe
cute the laws of the state. I shall con
tinue to do this without fear of pre
sumptive interference of p, United States
circuit judge. •
Will Treat It with Contempt.
"I shall treat the proceeding with tha
contempt it deserves. We will, of course,
act at the proper time, in accordance with
the respect due to the constitution of tho
United States, and at tho same time all
arrangements necessary for the carrying
out of the will of the people in reference
to the constitutional convention will bo
made, and all duties required of me by
the constitution and by tho statutq laws
of the state of South Carolina will bo
faithfully performed. If I am in con
tempt of Judge Goff he must make tho
most of it."
