The Coloratlo Senator Criticiscs the
Famous Doctrine. .
HIS UNDERSTANDING OF IT.
' lIe Makes the-Well Known Argument
That It “fits Prompted by England
’ Originally—430th Cleveland and
Olney Severely Censured.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.——The senate gal-
leries were well filled today in anticipation
of the speech of Senator Wolcott of Colo-
rado on the-Monroe doctrine. Mostiqt the
senators constituting the cummittce on
‘foreign relations were present in 1ic1v of
the revival of foreign quest-ions, the Turk-
ish- Armenian subject as well as the Mon-
_' roe doctrine having been advanced to a'
._ further stage.
Mr. Sherman (Rep, 0.) reported ad-
1 ,versely from the foreign relations commit-
' tee the resolution of Mr. Call'(Dem., Fla.)
”directing thesecre'tary of state to send to
the senate the dispatches of United States
consuls in Cuba. The resolution was
about to be indefinitely postponed, when,
at Mr. Call’s request, it was placed 011 the
calendar.
Mr. Cullom (Rep, Ills.) reported from
’ the senate committee on foreign relations
a long resolution concerning Turkey and
Armenia.
Mr. Cullom said the resolution was re-
ported by the unanimous vote of the com-
mittee, and he desired immediate action.
Mr. Gray (De1n., Del.) said he did not
anticipate any objection to the resolution,
.but it was of such importance that there
should be time for consideration of the
terms of the resolution.
Mr. Cullom acceded to this suggestion,
giving nOtice that he would ask for action
tomorrow.
Mr. Pugh’s resolution for silver pay-
ments of government bonds came up un-
der the rules.’
Mr. Hill said it had better go to the cal-
endar. _ _
Mr._ Pugh responded that he would
never consent to let the measure be retired
except by a vote. He yielded, however,
to Mr. Wolcott, saying that he would proSS
it1 to a. passage at every possible opportu-
n ty.
Mr. Wolcott was then recognized for his
speech on the Monroe doctrine. The son-
ator spoke earnestly and was accorded
close attention. .
Senator VVolcott's Speech.
After referring to the message of Presi-
,dent Cleveland on the Venezuelan ques-
tion and the appointment of the commis-
sion to enlighten the country as to the
true divisional line separating Venezuela
and British Guiana the senator said that
under the circumstances it ‘Would ordina-
rily seem to be the part of wisdom to re-
SENATOR WOLCOTT. ‘
train from further public comment on a
subject of so sensitive and delicate a char-
ucter until some decisive step had been
taken or some obstacle had been encoun-
tered calling for legislative interference.
The resolution which the committee on
foreign relations had reported, the effect
of which might be in his opinion most far-
reaching as affecting our policy and rela-
tions toward other friendly governments,
required, he said, some discussion and
careful investigation before we committed
ourselves to their declarations ' and led
him to participate in the debate.
Continuing, he said:
“The few remarks I shall make will be
chiefly to the effect that the so called Mon-
roe doctrine has been misapplied in the
pending controversy; that so much of
President Monroe’s message as referred to
the colonization of portions of America by
European powers could have no applica-
bility to any boundary dispute now exist-
ing in South America; that the hostility
to the extension by European powers of
their systems to any portion of this hemi-
sphere ‘as expressed in that message had
especial reference to the systems of govern-
. ment which were based on the divine right
of .kings, and which were directed to the
overthrow of all republics wherever exist-
ing; that the Monroe doctrine was in no-
wise intended as insisting upon republican
forms of government in this hemisphere
or as committing this government to
maintain the doctrine outside its own bor-
ders or except as its own integrity might
be affected; that this country is embark-
ing upon a new and different policy from
the one l'aia‘down by our fathers, and that
from 1821 until new congress 2' has ' uni-
formly declined to define the so called
Monroe doctrine or to adopt it as a rule of
action. The existing condition of affairs
makes the calm discussion of the princi-
ples of the Monroe doctrine most difi‘icult
at this time. It is not an easy or a gra-
cious task to take in this high forum a po-
sition which apparently involves in the
slightest degree the abandonment of. that
patriotic fervor which animates the breast
of every citizen where our natiOnal pride
or our country’s honor is in question.
There has been much tension for the past
few weeks.
Olney and Cleveland Criticised.
“The letter of the secretary of state to
hgnllgyard wear from. a diplomatic

point of view, almost incendiary. The"
president’s message glowed with the pos-
Members of both houses
of congress, not to be outdone, followed the
president’s suggestion as to the appoint-
ment of a commission with feverish haste.
Just what the commission is to' do, or how
it is to do it, nobody knows, but we have
created it, and it stands, as yet, more a
menace than a guarantee of peace.
“The efforts of the government to fire
the national heart have not been unavail—
ing, nor was the work difficult. There is
discontent, too, with existing conditions
in many sections of the country, and men.
feel that any change, even war with a for-
eign country, could not make matters
worse and might bring improvement
There are all o1er the 11 est and south men
who work on their farms and find the
giain they raise little mole 1aluabie for
food than as fuel, who know that the 11111-
roads which charge them for the transpor--
tattoo of their produce are largely owned
in Great Britain and are either prosperous,
or, if insolv ent, are fostered and protect-ed
and managed by federal courts. They
1:150 view with distrust the close financial
relations existing between the bankers of
the cast-and those of London, and they
would welcome any event, even war, that
would result, as they believe war would
result, in destroying these relations and
lead us to rely upon- our own resources
alone and to embrace economic policies
which would not be dependent on those of
foreign countries. Thoughtless‘ and weak
and ignorant these ~1iews may be, 1111.
P1 es1dent, but the person 1v ho denies their
existence is not familizu with the condi-
tions or opinions in many'statcs of the
Union. Add to all this the fact that hos;
tility toward Great Britain is festered by
many political leaders, who believe that
jingo demonstrations may distract atten-
tion from domestic discontent, and that
this hostility is intensified by the bitter-
ness cherished toward that government by
many of her former subject-s, new citizens
of this republic, and it is not surprising
that there exists in the breasts of millions
of our people an antagonism to Great Brit-
|in so rampant and so fierce that judg-,
meat is unh dad and passion and preju-
dice hold ful sway.
“A. Doctrine lVithout Recognition.”
“It is easier to drift with such a condi-
tion than to antagonize it, but with the
convictions on this subject which I cher-
ish, Mr. President, that sense of duty‘
which accompanies us in public station as
in private life prohibits a silence which
would be cowardly and impels me to the
presentation of the right as light is given
me to see it.
“There has never been a doctrine more
misunderstood or misapplied than the so
called Monroe doctrine. It is and has ever
been without recognition by other coun-
tries and has always been refused the ap-
prOval of congress.
“Not only was the Monroe doctrine the
direct outcome of English suggestion, but
in all the wars for independence fought in'
swamps and jungles and in the fever in-
fested districts of these tropical provinces
of South America, and in the long strug-
gles for liberty which drenched the Span-
ish colonies in America with the blood of
patriots, .British volunteers fought ever in
the front of battle. Without Great Brit-
ain’s aid Venezuela might not today be
free.
“President Monroe,” the senator con-
tinued, “protested not against despotic
governments, but against its forcible ex-
tension by the dreadful holy alliance in
this western world of which he stood in
well grounded fear. Congress had failed
to give the Monroe doctrine official sanc-
tion, and when a congressional resolution
respecting Panama was under discussion
congress expressly refused to commit it-
self to the Monroe doctrine in any form.
-Undcr present conditions its assertions
and maintenance to the extent claimed by
the president have largely ceased to be Of
paramount importance. ”
In the course of further remarks Senator
Wolcott said in part:
“The Monroe doctrine was essentially a
doctrine of self defense, promulgated for
our own preservation and for no other
purpose. Our country in 1823 was sparsely
settled and its boundaries but vaguely de-
fined. Today our own borders are defined,
our government eternally planted on the
solid rock. No danger threatens us from
Evithuut. We are menaced by no foreign
oe. ,
In the House.
In the house today Mr. “Johnson, chair-
man of committee on” elections No. 2,
made the report of the committee on the
contested election case of Timothy J.
Campbell versus H. C. Miner, from the
Ninth New York district. ' The report
failed to find, save in a. single instance,
any evidence in support of the grounds 0f
fraud and intimidation on Which the con-
test was based and recommended that Mr.
Miner be allowed to retain his seat. The
report'was unanimous.
Mr. Campbell ran as an independent
candidate against Miner (Dem. ) and
Simpson (Rep. ). The report was adopted
without a division.
”An Opinion Concerning Town Ballots.
ALBANY, Jan. 23.—Attorney General
Hancock today gave out an Opinion on the
use of the excise ballot at town meetings
this year in which he holds that ballots
containing the names of candidates for
commissioners of excise shall be indorsed
“excise” only and other ballots for town
meetings not held at the same time as the
general election shall be indorsed “town”
only.
.. Judge Appell Exonerated. .
ALBANY, Jan. 23.—Tho report of the
judiciary committee of the last assembly,
which conducted the investigation of the
charges against Judge Appell of the
city court of About Vernon, that he con-
nived with inspectors of election in the
fall Of 1894 to alter the returns, was pre-
sented in the assembly this morning, stat-
ing that the charges Were not sustained.

Norwalk, Conn, Thursday Evening, January, 231 1896.
DINING WITH THE PRINCE.
borough House.
course of the season certain special din-
ners at Marlborough House, 'which in
many essential respects differ from those
which he .atlends at other people’s
h0uses. The guests do not number more
than 45 people, including the ladies and
gentlemen in attendance upon the prince
and princess. When members of the
royal family ar1ive at Marlborough
House, at the outer gate, the fact is at
once signaled from the 10d go. so that the
Prince and Princess of Wales are never
taken by surprise, but are in readiness
to receive them.
The dining room in which the ban-
quet is served is a. magnificently deco-
rated apartment, with acciling of bite
and gold. On the wall on the left and
side is a great square of red plush to set
off the presentations of plate which have
been made to their royal highnesses dur-
ing the recent years. The Prince of
Wales, as a host, sits not at the end, but
in the middle seat, at the side of a large
and long table. Table decorations are of
a massive, ornate and rather heavy
character. A very high centerpiece is
filled with flowers, and more blossoms
are ‘placed in tall vases resembling speci-
men glasses.
Probably Marlborough House is t
only place in London in which th
knives and forks are laid so curiously.
To each guest two forks and no more
are provided, and these are placed prongs
downward, reversing the usual method.
In addition there is one large tablespoon
and one large knife. In no circumstance
are two knives peQmitted upon the table
simultaneously, and for this rule a very
strange reason is assigned. His royal
highness is very superstitious, and on
no account will he incur the risk of
having knives crossed inadvertently.
The wineglasses are placed. by the bye,
Lin a line as straight as a company of
soldiers, and the services are simply fold-
ed in two. Small water bottles are-used,
but apparently finger bowls are tabooed
in Marlborough House. '
Dinner begins at 8 :45'p. m: and lasts
for one hour and ten minutes. 'Rapid
service is insisted upon. Yet four or five
waiters only are allowed to enter the
dining room, which is, however, some
distance from the kitchen. Celerity and
dispatch are obtained by the employ:
ment of a. small army of assistants sta-
tioned behind the scenes.
For dessert royal blue sevres is used,
and when the time has come for coffee
and cigars the custom is once during
the year, and only once—the night of
the Derby dinner—to hand to each guest
a silver lighter of unique design. No
two lamps are alike, as they have at va-
rious times been presented by diiferent
donors to the Prince of Wales, and each
one has its history. —Ladies’ Home
Journal.

A DROP OF WATER.-
The Wonders That May Be Seen Therell
Through a lllicroscope.
To the ordinary mortal a drop of wa-
ter is what the primrose Was to Pet-er
Bell, a drop of water and nothing more,
but to the student of nature, armed
with a high power microscope, it imme-
diately becomes a world teeming with
living creatures, the most minute repre-
sentatives of animal life. These thoughts
were suggested by reading Professor
Grace’s description of a battle he once
witnessed while examining a collection
of rotifers, which were amassed in a
single drop of fresh Wat-er. Among oth-
ers, Mr. Grace noticed a fine specimen
of infusorian, which was swimming
back and forth among the rotifers, as if
intent on mischief. 0n the following
day it was noticed that the rotifer col-
onyhad lost several of its members, and
out until he resembled a miniature St.
Louis bartender. Mr. Grace now re-
solved to watch the inquorian’s move-
ments and ascertain if possible the
modus operandi whereby the capture
of such expert swimmers as the
rotifers are known to be was effected.
A few minutes’ wait sufficed. Soon it
slowly and continuously working his
way around the foot of a rotifer, which
was resting on the glass slide.
Around and around he went as slyly
as a mouse in an oats bin, and when he
had finished it was noticed that the
rotifer's foot was firmly cemented to the
glass. The infusorian, seeming to know
his victim was secure, began to goad
'the tethered creature and torment it in
all the ways that devilish ingenuity
could suggest. He would jump upon its
back and bite it in several places with
lightninglike rapidity and then spring
off and seize a. leg and pull it almost
from its socket. Mr. Grace says that he
watched this unequal combat for nearly
a half hour, when it was noticed that
the rotifer was dying from exhausticin.
Noting the death of his victim, the in-
he doubtless had' done the others that
were missing.
Mr. Grace next examined 'a small
body of water, consisting of four drops,
in which there were several infusoria
and rotifers. The former proved the
enemies of the latter, just as in the sin-
gle drop previously examined. It was
also noticed that the infusorian, having
devoured a victim, would almost imme-
diately divide into two or four new ani-
mals, each of which would quickly
swim away in search of prey, just as its
parent had done before. —St Louis Re-
