THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Discussion Over the Davis
Rosolution Promised.
ficnator Scwoll's Antagonism May
Pavo tho "Way for Debate—Am
bassador Bayard's Letters to Sec
rotary Olnoy Regarding Ills Criti
cized Speeches Sent to tho Ifonsot
Wuslilngton, Jan. £>. Although i
there is little doubt that the senate
will adopt the Davis resolution defining
and confirming tho Monroe doctrine as ;
reported from the committee on for- !
eign relations, the subject promises a
source of more or less discussion be
fore it is finally agreed to. Messrs. j
Wolcott and Daniels have signified 1
their intention of addressing the sen
ate 011 Mr. Sewell's resolution, which
antagonizes the Davis resolution, next
Thursday and this may open tho way
for a general discussion of the subject.
Yesterday the decision of the commit
tee as to the extent and meaning of the
Monroe doctrine and as to its applica- i
bility to the tymezuelan dispute, was j
presented through Mr. Davis in the j
shape of a concurrent resolution. It j
makes both houses of congress reaffirm
and confirm tho Monroe doctrine and
principles and doclare that the United
States shall deem any attempt by a
European power to acquire new or ad
ditional territory on the American
continents or adjaeert islands or any
easement in any lntcroceanic canal as
dangerous to the peace and safety of
the United States. Gne member of the
committee on foreign relations, Mr. j
Cray, dem., Del., remarked that it was
not the unanimous report of the com
mittee. The concurrent resolution
was placed on tho A calendar without
discussion.
So well's Opposition.
The subject came up immediately
afterwards in the shape of a resolu
tion offered last week by Mr. Sowell,
rep., N. J., limiting the application of
the Monroe doctrine and condemning
the Venezuelan message of President
Cleveland as unwise and importune.
Mr. Sewell addressed the senate in sup
port of his resolution and argued that
Mr. Cleveland's position was far in ad
vance of what was contemplated In tin; I
Monroe doctrine and that the effect of !
it would be-the establishment of a pro
tectorate over Mexico and over each of
the South American and Central Ameri
can states. No progress was made upon
the house bond bill with the free coin
uge substitute reported from the com
mittee on finance. Mr. Jones, dem.,
A rk., who has charge of it, gavs us a
reason for not pushing it tho fact that
Rovcral senators who desired to speak
upon it were not ready, but Mr. Hill,
dem., N. Y., hinted that tho vote was I
kept back until after the election of !
two senators from Utah. The Peffer i
funeral bill gave rise to some discussion ;
and was disposed of by being referred
to the committee 011 rules.
Bnyaril Correspondence.
The most interesting matter in the
houso was the president's message in j
response to tho house resolution of in
quiry relative to Ambassador Bayard's
Edinburgh and Boston (England) !
speeches, with Secretary Olney's re- j
port thereon. The lirst letter was from !
Mr. Bayard to Secretary Olney, dated '
Loudon, Dec. 21, in which ho says he
observes from the newspapers in Eng
land the action of the house of repre
sentatives looking to his impeachment,
and he encloses a printed copy of the
Edinburgh address. Mr. Bayard adds:
"In the absence of precise information ■
of the text of the resolution said to i
have been adopted by the house, anl \
not proposing to anticipate the action
of either or both houses of congress—
yet, observing that, in the course of
the discussion reference was made to
tho personal instructions of the depart
ment of statu to the diplomatic officers
of the United States—l respectfully ad
vert to articlo VII., and its sub-sec
tions—in order that your attention
may be drawn to the fact that the ad
dress in question was delivered before i
nn institution purely literary and sci- '
entitle in its character, and wholly un
connected with political parties—which
had honored two of my official prede
cessors with similar invitations, which
in both cases had been accepted; sub
jects political in their nature, "Democ
racy" and "Tho Law of the Land,"
having been respectively selected and
treated with distingushed ability.
His Personal Opinions.
"No political canvass was pending or
approaching in this country when my '
address was made, and 110 interference
or participation in local or party politi- 1
cal concerns in this country was there
fore possible. The address consisted of
my personal opinions upon government
institutions in general—the moral force
and tendencies which underlie them—
and the government policies which as
sist in the conservation of the fff-edom
of the individual as an essential inte
ger of huntan progress and of the per
manence of civilization. When the j
congress shall have concluded its ac- j
tion on the subject, it is possible that I !
may desire to submit a further state- |
ment —but, meanwhile, I consider it |
proper to place before you the address |
in full and the facts connected with -
its delivery."
No Prepared Speech.
Secretary Olney immediately on re
ceipt of this cabled the ambassador 011
January 3 that the house resolution
asked, not only whether the Edinburgh
speech was made, but also whether in I
the Boston speech he used these words:
"The president stood in the midst of a j
strong, self-confident and oftentimes i
violent people—men who sought to
have their own way. It took a real j
man to govern the people of the United
States." Mr. Bayard wrote the follow
ing day confirming the statement. lie
said that his remarks at the Boston
school were impromptu, that he went
there without a note or prepared words
of any kind. At a dinner which fol
lowed he explained his remarks
as follows: "There were toasts and
responses, and I responded to the
health of the president of the United
States, and subsequently to a toast to
myself. So far as I was concerned,
everything- was Impromptu, and a
kindly, humorous, post-prandial tone
prevailed. It seems a reporter was
present, but I did not see him, nor did
I know that any report had been made
until the local newspaper was sent to
me a few days after in London. I sent
a copy to Mr. Cleveland, because the
report contained a kindly reference to
the family home circlo of the president.
And as I have grandchildren in Boston,
Mass., I sent a copy into the house
hold. This was the exent of 'publica
tion' in the United States of which I
have any knowledge."
England Tired of "Flaunting."
London, Jan. 21.—The Globe, com
menting 011 the resolution supporting
the Monroe doctrine adopted by the
foreign relations committeo of the
United States senate, says that the
people of Great Britain will not stand
much more flaunting from anybody. It
attributes the action of the committee
to a desire to pander to the Irish
voters, and says the members of the
committee may find themselves facing
an uppalling situation.
SKELETONS IN A COLLRRY.
Wlllccsbarro Officials Will Investi
gate a Humor.
Wilkesbarre, I*a., Jan. 21.—A rumor
has been started here to the effect that
three skeletons have been discovered in
the old workings of tho Diamond mines
formerly operated by the Lehigh &
Wilkesbarre Coal company, though idle
for tho pust ten years. Supt. Morgan
will send a party of miners into the
workings to-day and if the skeletons
arc found they will be brought to the
surface. The rumor started from a
statement made by Pete Wassil, who is
now in prison for shooting Krupsavagc
at Georgetown last week, in which lie
claims that he had killed a man some
mouths before and hurled his dead
body down the deep shaft of the Dia
mond mine. If there are any skeletons
tn the shaft they are probably those of
foreigners who were murdered for their
savings and their bodies hidden in the
dark recesses of the mine. District
Attorney Foil has been notified and
with the aid of tho county detective
the matter is to bo thoroughly sifted.

IMMIGRATION INVESTIGATION,
i Report of tho Commission Points
Out Several Abuses.
New York, Jan. 18.—The report oi
the immigration investigation commis
sion appointed by Secretary Carlisle.
Juno 13, 1894, has been just published.
The report gives a concise history ol
immigration and immigration legisla
tion; explains European immigration
conditions; treats- at considerable
length of tho padrone system and oJ
migratory laborers, especially those
from Canada. The report also treats
on the alleged defects of the presenl
immigration laws and recommends cer
tain remedial measures. The chapters
on the padrone system and Canadian
migratory laborers reveal a bad condi
tion of things. The padrone system,
it seems, has almost died out, but
tho shifting about tho country by
the padrone of large bodios of Italian
workmen already here is common, and
this is as serious to our native work
men as direct importation.
The report continues: "The Canadian
migratory laborers have for many
years been going and coming across
the border to the detriment of the
wages and standard of living of the
American laborers. At least 100,000
persons, says the report, come into the
United States annually from these sec
tions, fully fifty per cent, of whom
return to their homes at the end of the
working season or when they have ac
cumulated a certain amount of money.
This 100,000, be it understood, does not
include those who come daily into tho
cities of Buffalo, Detroit and other
border towns and cities On the great
lakes. In some cities and towns, nota
bly Detroit and Buffalo, they send their
laundry over the border, and those
who come and go daily bring their
dinners with them. Some even make
it a boast that they do not spend a
penny in the states."
"I>EERFOOT" DEADi
The Famous Indian Runner Ex
pires Near Buffalo.
Buffalo, Jan. 20.—"Deerfoot," tho
famous Indian long distance runner, is
dead on tho Cattaraugus reservation.
His proper name was Louis Bennett,
the name "Deerfoot" being given him
for his prowess in running. Ho was
born on the reservation in 1820. In
1801 he went to England where he de
feated the English champion runners
and was received by tho Prince of
Wales who presented him with a purse
and a souvenir. In 1803 ho returned to
this country and subsequently took
part in races in New York and Chicago,
defeating all comers. "Dcerfoot's"
greatest record was made in London
where ho ran ten miles in fifty-two
minutes.
MOST SERIOUS STEP.
A London Paper's Comment on the
Davis Monroo Doctrine Resolution.
London, Jan. 20.—Tho Daily News
to-day says that it regards the adoption
by the United States senate Friday of
the resolution of Senator Davis sup
porting the Monroe doctrine as a most
serious step. It adds: "The sooner
Lord, Salisbury discovers a method of
arbitration the better. The Venezue

haps, without President Cleveland's
connivance. If he is giving us time wo
would be foolish not to take it."

FLORIDA CANNIBALS.
Interesting Discovery of a Phila
delphia Antiquarian.
Mounds Which Contain Kvfdenc*
tlio Cannlballßtto Practices ot
the Original Indians ot
the State.
As a field for tho scientific research
of archaeologists and anthropologist*
Florida has been fruitful from the time
of Le Moyne, who escaped the St. Johns
river massacre in the latter part of the
3Cth century, to the present date. Le
-Moyne was among the first, if not the
first, explorer of Florida antiquities,
and he camo under tho many disad
vantages of three centuries ago, and
in a country full of hostile tribes and
infested with more hostile white men
Tho latest follower of this daring ex
plorer is a gentleman who is about to
start from this port on a tour of in
vestigation of Florida's antiquities in
a vessel built and equipped for tho
special purpose and accompanied on
the voyage by a small coterie of con
genial friends. This gentleman is Prof.
0. B. Moore, representative of the Phil
adelphia Academy of Natural Sciences,
and his vessel is the Gopher, which lias
been built specially to float in shal
low waters. It also combines ull the
comforts of a winter home, a library,
Study rooms and laboratories, dark
rooms for photography and all tho
paraphernalia necessary in the study
of natural history, wherever the chance
for such study may be found.
The party will be made up of Prof.
Moore, who is at the head of the work,
and from whose pen will come the re
ports to the scientific world of the re
searches that are made here. 1118 asso
ciates are Dr. M. G. Miller, Dr. B.
Ilenry and Dr. C. S. Walker, each of
whom will make a study of some par- ;
ticular branch of tho subjects that are
to be investigated. Prof. Moore was
called upon in his commodious quar
ters on the Gopher just us the boat
was about to leave for a trial trip up
tho river. I •%- \ ai
"I have spent 21 winters in Florida,"
he said, "and I have made quite a study
of her extinct races, as well as of her
present inhabitants. I carry a ciow of
six men besides the engineer and cap
tain, and all of these men I have had
with me for several seasons before
They are trained mound diggers, and
they know what kind of work is re
quired of them in that branch. I have
made a special study of the mounds of
Florida, and I have opened at least 100
shell mounds and nearly 200 sand
mounds in this state. The collection
of Florida anthropology and relics in
the Philadelphia Academy of Natural
Sciences is the best in tho world, and
is larger than all others combined.
M Tlie shell mounds of Florida are de
posits of the shells of fish that,wore
eaten by tho early inhabitants of this
country, and are really refuse heaps.
Above Palatka the shells are those of
fish that could live in fresh waters and
resemble what I should call a peri
winkle. From Palatka to Jacksonville
there are a few of these mounds, and
below hero and nearer to tho ocean
the shells are those of the oyster. The
extent of these mounds is sometimes
marvelous, and shows that they must
have been the accumulations of great
spaces of time. That mound from which
C. 11. Curtis, of Bluffton, has been send
ing some samples for paving your
streets in Jacksonville covers about 35
acres, and I have dug into it to a maxi
mum depth of 25 feet. You will see
that they are not mounds of conical
shape, like the sand mounds, but were
formed, as I think, by the throwing
aside of the shells as tho fish were con
sumed by the Indians. At every depth
of their formation I have found a fire
place in which fish were cooked. Wlier
Hie accumulation of shells left theso
fireplaces in a hollow these hollows were
filled up and another fireplace was
started above tho old one, or In another
pluco.
"An interesting fact has been proven
by the surroundings of these fire
places, and that ts the inevitable con
clusion that the original Florida In
dian was a cannibal. I have found to
gether about these feeding places the
bones of the wild turkey, the bones of
a deer cracked open to get at the mar
row and the bones of human Iteings,
charred and showing the result of
cooking. If I had seen but one instance
of tills I should not make the assertion,
but it has been proven by repeated dis
coveries, and the conclusion that I
have reached is that the Indian of cen •
turles ago in this state was in the
habit of eating his kind.
"The sand mounds were formed In a
different manner. They are conical in
shape, and were evidently built with
great care. They were used as the.
burial places of the dead, and we have
found evidences of their having also
been used as places of residence. They
were formed in strata or layers, which
were built one above the other at wide
ly-separated periods of time. lam also
satisfied that they were constructed, at
least many of them, in pre-Columbian
periods, but how long before the dis
covery of America by Columbus 1 am
not able to determine. We have been
able to trace to a certain extent the re
lations of these Indians with the other
tribes in other parts of the country.
We have found many pieces of copper
of the kind called 'lake' copper, or that
which is found in the northern pen
insula of Michigan and in the Lake
Superior region, from which the pe
culiar kind takes its name. These In
dians did not have the knoweledge of
the alloys of metals, and the lal cop
per is a pure metal, while that which
was known in Europe was alloyed, or
was not taken from deposits of pure
metal. I have proven this fact by care
ful analysis of the metal that 1 have
found in these mounds, and my theories
have been accepted by the scientific
world as bearing on the antiquity of
the Indian in this state."—Florida Cit

actual cost of production at our
factory. We have no store on
Broad street, but the factory ware
room is open every day till 6 p. m.,
and Saturday evenings from 71110.
