AN EMBASSADOR AIMED AT.
Representative Barrett Thinks That Bay-
ard’s Edinburgh Statements Deserve l
Severe Censure—Ex—Speaker
Crisp Defends Him.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. —In the senate
today Mr. Call (Dem. Fla.) presented sev- .
oral memorials from citizens of Florida
for the recognition of the belligerency of
the Cuban insurgents, Mr. Sherman
(Rep. , O. ) the memorial of the National
Woclgrowers’ association, and Mr. Pefier,
(Pop... Kan. ), from the committee to ex-
amine the branches of the civil service,
favorably reported the bill introduced by
him to prescribe the method of conducting
Cullom on the Monroe 'Doctrine.
Senator Cullom then addressed the sen-
ate in support of his resolution, introduced
some days ago, declaring in substance the
Monroe doctrine to be by precedent and
tradition the recognized rightful policy of
the United States. He began by saying
that the United States is not a govern-
ment of conquest or of usurpation. Our
fathers taught us that the empire of hap-
piness was not to be reached by grasping
the territory of our neighbors, but rather
that the peace and prosperity of our coun-
try and the highest enjoyment of our pec- ‘
”WA-

ple would be found in wisely caring for
the magnificent inheritance which they
transmitted to us. We find ourselves in
possession of a land the greatest and best
upon the earth, a dominion of which
King Solomon, in all his glory, never
dreamed. To what purpose have we
reached this high degree in the progress
of nations? Shall we see to it that our
future shall advance as our past has done;
that We take no step backward, but still
keep up the march of the republic? If we'
do this in this world of competition and _
strife and maintain our national Jionor,
with our territorial unity and integrity,
we must have some affirmative, distinc-
tive idea or policy, of such simple and 11114
questioned propriety that it shall receive
the universal sanction of our people. It
must possess such elements of right and
justice in itself and hear such interpreta-
tion in the relation it shall declare be-
tween the United States and other nations
that no serious objection can lie against
it. By the adoption of such a policy and
its public declaration by the congress of
the United States we ennoble what we
all substantially approve as the Monroe
doctrine, and it becomes at once and for-
ever thereafter the American doctrine. It
becomes, indeed, the utterance of the
American people, as supreme and sacred
in its authority as that other declaration,
headed by John Hancock, which, in 1776,
in the name and by the authority of the
good people Of the colonies. solemnly pub"
lished and declared ‘ ‘that these united
colonies 'are, and of right ought to be,
free and independent states."
How We Stand New. .
In ‘ answer to any statement that the
Monroe doctrine already stands in force as
a recognized part of our. American policy,
the senator said that it was only in a
- effect.
limited «genes. Any presidentwmight ab-
rogate or counterma'nd it; and he cites
two notable cases when it was brought in
question. In the senator’s judgment the
time has come when the nation should put
the question beyond cavil. aind by more di-
rect language than that ”this government
cannot view with indifference attempts of
European governments to colonize either
in North, South or Central America.”
The nation, the senator said, has played
diplomacy long enough, and without much
Great Britain has been disregard-
ing polite requests, protests, arguments
and suggestions that we cannot “look
with indifference” upon her policy to
. reach out farther until she, if let alone,
will finally dominate Venezuela. The
time has come for a plain, positive decla-
ration of the Monroe doctrine by congress,
L and then, if necessary, plain, positive en-
forcement of it against all comers. What-
ever European rights existed as to owner-
ship of territory on this hemisphere in our
early-history must continue. If there is
dispute between nations as to boundary
lines as they were, then let these lines be
. agreed upon by arbitration or in some way
- be determined.
The days of war between
civilized nations are passed, certainly in
relation to ordinary matters of diSpute.
We do not attempt to interfere in matters
touching interests or controversies in Eu-
ropean countries, and we do not intend
that EuTOpean powers shall interfere in
political affairs in this western continent.
' A European Penchant.
Among the many Considerations to
which it is but just to refer, not the least
important is the penchant of each of the
great powers of Europe for the occupation
and absorption of the territory of weak
foreignnations whose productions are of
importanCo to the trade and commerce of
the great powers. It has been the history
of the monarchial countries of Europe for
many years that they hax e run races with
each other in the capture and dismember-
ment of the smaller governments of the
world. We have reached the time when it
becomes our bounden duty to say to the
world with dignity and firmness that thus
far, but no farther, shall foreign systems
of government he permitted‘to approach.
our policy is the American policy, our
doctrine is the protection of American in-
terests, and our motto is America for
Americans. '
Let 11s build so strongly and speak so
plainly that the way of the future execu-
tives and ambassadors of our country shall
'{be undoubted. Let it be clear that no.
itatesman of the future can find. as Mr.
Calhoun did in the sonata, any ingenious
theory to weaken its force and value. Let
it be so certain and emphatic that no sec-
retary of state can be: eaftr 1‘ becomea will-
ing party to a treat-y yielding a share of
the control and supervision of any inter-
oceanic canal to any European country,
as in the CiaytOn-Bulwcr treaty, and let ,
it be so straight and practical that no
American 'embassador to the British court
shall feel at liberty to question the policy
of his own government or possibly apolo-
gize for the Declaration of Independence
and the Monroe doctrine.
In the House.
In the house, when that body met to-
day, Mr. McCall (Rep. , Mass.) created a
slight stir by asking for the immediate
consideration of a resolution, which, after
reciting extracts from two speeches deliv-
ered by United States Embassador Bayard,
one at Boston, England, and one at Edin-
burgh, in which Mr. Bayard was declared
to have reflected on the domestic policy
of the United States, called on the presi-
dent to report to the house whether he had
taken any steps to ascertain if the reports
of those speeches were true, and, if true,
what steps if any had been taken to re-
call or censure said Bayard.
As. the reading "concluded Mr. Allen
(Dem., Miss.) called out “Yours truly,”
and the house laughed.
Mr. McCreary (Dem., I’ y) immediate-
ly objected, and the brief sensation was
about to subside when Mr. McCall’s col~
league, Mr Barrett (Rep. ., Mass.) ex-
ploded a veritable bomb by rising to a
question of privilege and sending to the
clerk’s desk a resolution for the impeach-
ment of Mr. Bayard. The resolution re-
cited Mr. Bayard' 5 statement in his Edin-
burgh meech referred to in Mr. McCall’s
resolution, in which the United States
embassdor to the court of St. James de-
olared that the protective system was state
socialism.
Ex-Speaker Crisp replied to Mr. Barrett '
in rather an ironical tone. The purpose
of the resolution, be said, was evidently
to give the gentlemen on the other side
something to air their views. He did not
think, he said. that any gentleman elect<
ed to a seat on the floor of the house be-
lieved that this resolution contained
grounds for impeachment.
“I acquit the gentleman Srom Massa-
chusetts, ” said Mr. Crisp,‘ “of such a
thought. My respect for his intelligence
requires that I should do so.
Mr. McCall followed Mr. Ci'isp and said
that Mr. Bayard made a violent partisan
West incldent and said that Mr. Bayard
had applied the doctrine of persona non
grate, though that doctrine had not been
applied to our own minister. Mr. Bayard
had misrepresented the American people
by saying they needed a strong master.
The people of the United States had no
master. The president was their servant.
To Recognize Cuban Beiligerents.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—There is no
doubt a movement to recognize the,Cuban
insurgents as belligerents wiil be pressed
upon the attendance of the house soon
after its organization has been completed

s1bly a resolution may be reported from
the committee on foreign affairs of its own;
motion.
