IT nJBEfIDS PfIEOETHE SENATE COMMITTEE SUBMITS

FAVORABLE REPORT OX THEDAVIS RESOLUTION.

SFNTIMENT NOT UNANIMOUS.

SENATOR SEWELL OPPOSES ANY

EXTENSION OK THE DOC-'r-'"TRINE;

THINKS IT DANGEROUS POLICY.

Onr Present Course an Assumption

of a Protectorate Over South-ern Nations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Two op-posing phases of the Monroe doctrinewere presented in the senate today—one from the committee on foreign

relations, favoring a strong reaffirm-ation of the doctrine, and another fromMr. Sewell, of New Jersey, urging thatthe doctrine had been carried so farbeyond its scope as to threaten dan-gerous consequences.

Mr. Davis, of Minnesota, presentedthe committee report, as he is authorof the resolutions embodying the es-sential features of all previous reso-lutions.

The silver bond bill was laid asidetemporarily as no senator was readyto speak. Mr. Piatt and Mr. 'Halepointed the delay on this measure, andMr. Piatt asked that a day be set fora vote.

Mr. Davis (Rep., Minn.) from thecommittee on foreign relations arose assoon as the routine proceedings weredisposed of and submitted a favorablereport on the resolution framed by himenunciating the Monroe doctrine. Itwas read from the desk, receiving closeattention. The resolution, preambleand all, in full, are as follows:

Concurrent resolution relative to the asser-tion and enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.

Resolved by the senate, the house of repre-sentatives concurring, that,

Whereas, President Monroe, in his messageto congress of Dec. 2, A. D. 1823. deemed itproper to assert as a principle in which therights and Interests of the United States areInvolved that the American continents by thefree and independent positions which theyhave assumed and maintained were thence-forth not to be considered as subjects forfuture colonization by any European power;

Whereas. President Monroe further declaredin that message that the United States wouldconsider any attempt by the allied powers ofEurope, to extend their system to any por-tion of this hemisphere, as dangerous to ourpeace and safety; that with the existing col-onies and dependencies of any European pow-er we have not interfered and should not in-terfere: but that with the governments whohave declared their, independence and main-tained it, whose independence we have ongreat consideration and upon just principles,acknowledged, we could not view any interpo-sition for the purpose of oppressing them orcontrolling in any other manner their des-tiny by any European power. in any otherlight than as the manifestation of an un-friendly disposition toward the United Statesand further reiterated in that message thatit is impossible that the allied powers shouldextend their political system to any portionof either continent without endangering ourpeace and happiness; and

Whereas, the doctrine and policy so pro-claimed by President Monroe have since beenrepeatedly asserted by the United States byexecutive declaration, and action, upon oc-casions and exigencies similar to the particu-lar occasion and exigency which caused themto first be announced and have been eversince their promulgation, and now are therightful policy of the United States.

Therefore be It resolved, That the UnitedMales of America -reaffirm and confirms thedoctrines and principles promulgated by Pres-ident Monroe in his message of Dec 2 IS9*!and declares that it will assert and maintainthat doctrine and those principles and will re-gard any infringement thereof, and particu-larly any attempt by any European power totake or acquire any new territory on theAmerican continents, or any islands adjacentthereto, for any right of sovereignty or do- \u25a0

minion _?_*"-_ same, in an case or instanceas to which the United States shall deem suchan attempt to be dangerous to its peace orsafety, by or through force, purchase, ces-sion occupation, pledge, colonization, protec-torate or by control of the easement in ca-nal or any other means of transit across theAmerican isthmus whether on unfounded pre-tension of right in cases of alleged boundarydisputes, or under other unfounded preten-sions, as the manifestation of an unfriendlydisposition toward the United States and isan interposition which it would be impossiblein, an >' I.0" for the United stat <*s to regardwith indifference. 6 "

GOES TO COMMITTEE.At. Mr. Davis' request, the resolution

went to the senate calendar. Mr Gray(Dem., Del.) stated that he desired itunderstood that the favorable reportwas unanimous.

Mr. Sewell (Rep., N. J.) then address-ed the senate on his resolution, reciting :that President Cleveland had extended ithe Monroe doctrine beyond its proper iscope, and enunciating the principle jthat the doctrine was for the interest !of the United States and was not an ob-ligation to aid and protect southern re-publics.

The senator, reading from the mes- Isage, said the president clearly desiredto present the -contingency of war jThroughout the message and the let- iters of the secretary of state, the de- 'termination was clear to make this con-struction of the doctrine absolutelyfinal and conclusive without referenceto results. The senator quoted from res-olutions of congress in 1525 and speechesby Mr. Webster, showing the exactpurposes and original scope of the •Monroe doctrine. -'

Taking up the Venezuelan questionMr. Sewell pointed out that the presi-dent's position involved the most

EXTREME AND DANGEROUS,application of the doctrine thus farmade. It was not based on the inter-ests of the United States, but on the jforce exerted by a strong power againsta weak one, in South America. It clear-ly led to the assumption of a protector-ate by the United States over Mexicoand South American countries. It in-volved the necessity of our preparingourselves with arms and ammunitionto execute the duties and obligations ofsuch; a protectorate.

Venezuela had been in a state of con-stant turmoil and revolution for twen-ty-five years, said Mr. Sewell. . Thesepeople of the Southern republics weresubject to internal disorder and revolu-tion. It behooved the United States topause and consider well the extent ofan obligation which made us the guar-dian of those turbulent countries. Thatthey would give offense to foreign coun-tries was undoubted.

At the close of Mr. Sewell's speechMr. Daniel (Dem., Va.) gave notice"that he would address the senate on Ithe subject next Thursday. .

Mr. Cullom (Rep., 111.) sought to se-cure the passage of a resolution to em-ploy an assistant architect to aid thesupervising architect in making plansfor the new postoffice at Chicago. MrBerry (Dem., Ark.) strenuously object-ed. He spoke of the costs of the su-pervising architect's . office. The dis-cussion took a.wide range, and the res-olution was finally agreed. to after Mr.Berry; had demanded a roll-call, result-ing 49 to .6. ' :\u25a0- - -

: VOTE ON BOND BILL.Mr. Piatt (Rep., Conn.) asked Mr.

' Jones (Dem., Ark.) when a vote on the !; pending bill would be had. Mr. Jones '1 said he was unable to state, as therej were several speeches yet to be heard.

I Mr. Jones said the original bond billj was now a silver measure, and its, friends would take due time to presentits fixed merits, and would fix a timefor a vote.

Mr. Hill (Dem., N. V.) said he de-sired to speak on the resolution, andasked that the resolution go over. Theresolution and the silver bond bill final-ly went over.

On motion of Mr. Dubois a bill waspassed to aid . the states of California,Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho,Nevada, Wyoming; Colorado and SouthDakota to support schools of mines by. giving them 25 per cent of the moneyspaid the United States for minerallands.

On motion of Mr. Faulkner the Fef-fer bill was referred to the committeeon rules with a view to securing ageneral rule for conducting congres-sional funerals. '.*'•

Mr. Baker, of Kansas, offered anamendment to the pending silver bondbill providing that coinage "shall berestricted to the production of theUnited States mines."

At +:25 p. m. the senate adjourneduntil tomorrow.

Repe--t That the President FavorsRecognition, of Insurgents.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20.—The Republicthis morning in summarizing dispatchesfrom Florida, New York and Washing-ton says:- "A crisis has been reached inthe Cuban war. Recognition of thebelligerence of the patriot army by theUnited States "is imminent. PresidentCleveland is said to have prepared aproclamation, which may be issued to-day or in the immediate future. Thepresident, it is declared, intended torecognize the insurgents last week,when he learned of the recall of Mar-shal Campos, but "under the circum-stances the executive thought that suchrecognition would regarded as in-opportune and unfriendly to Spain, andhe, therefore, withheld the importantdocument, pending the appointment ofa successor to .Campos. Within thepast forty-eight hours, however, Presi-dent Cleveland is said to have learnedthat Spain, despairing of a successfultermination of the war, has offered tosell Cuba to Great Britain, and thismay precipitate taction.

Van Sundt.

As outlined in the Globe a weekago, there remains little doubt that

! Andrew R. McGill will be a candidateI for gubernatorial honors when .the' chairman of the next Republican con-

\u25a0 vention raises his gavel for order. Infact, the ex-governor, while protestingthat as yet he has not settled thevexed question, does not deny the softimpeachment, and when the time comesit will be found that he has a strongerfollowing among Republicans throughthe state than may be at present imag-ined. \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 \u0084.-''- His friends make no bones of thefact .that McGill will have the Ram-sey county delegation solid in the nextstate convention. They assert that mat-ters have so nicely adjusted* themselvesthat there is to be no fight or. this, andthis condition is supposed to augur wellfor the ex-executive as showing thathe has with him many strong sup-porters who were not in line when he

j was a candidate before for the nor-n\u25a0 ination.

McGill's friends ha\ * carefully can-i vassed the situaf in, with the result| that they cannot see how he can faillof the nomination McGill does busi-l ness in Minneapolis, and his supporters, claim that he will surely capture aj generous portion of the Hennepin| county delegation. He is said to be! very popular through the state, and iti is expected very naturally that his opencandidacy, when he shies his castorinto the ring, will play all kinds ofhavoc with Van Sant*3 "Inflooence"with the old soldiers, who, with McGillout of the race,- would be solid for theWinona man.

For the past month it has been ascer-tained that all his supporters on for-mer occasions, and many new standardbearers who believe he can now receivethe nomination, stand ready to yieldup their assistance and their votesHis strength in the various countieshas been carefully measured by triedand staunch friends until it appears tothem that for the doughty ex-governorto wave away a nomination would bealmost wanton.

He is at the head of the McGill Print-ing company in St. Paul, and in his of-fice there have been held recently sev-eral quiet little-conferences at whichthe situation has been the prime topicof conversation.

Behind him are said to be some ofthe ablest and shrewdest Republicansin the city, and it is their opinion thathe ought by all means to strive for theprize. He has not yet actually signi-fied his Intention to do so, but It isthought that in a very short time hewill make an open avowal of his candi- !

j dacy. He was seen last night by a !Globe reporter, and in answer to a jquestion as to whether or not he hadcome to a decision, he replied in the neg- Iative. "Ihave some good friends," he !said, "who have urged the matter andI have given It considerable thought. .I have had proffers of support fromvarious parts of the state, but I am notprepared to make any statement re-garding my possible candidacy. Thereare several candidates talked of, Gov. ;Clough, ex-Mayor Eustis, Capt. VanSant and John L. Gibbs, and they areall good men with good following.

"It is my opinion that any Republi-can who receives the nomination can i

-be elected governor in the coming elec-tion in Minnesota."

: ____.MERELY BAYARD'S VIEWS.

Speeches of Our EukHmli ArauntiNu-tler iv No Wine (H!K-l:tl. '

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.— presi-dent today made answer to the houseresolution calling for information as |to whether Ambassador Bayard did atEdinburg and Boston,. England, deliverspeeches referring to the American peo- !ple as a strong, self-confident and |often-times violent people, whom it tooka real man to govern, and to "the in- Isatiable growth of a form of socialism,styled protection, which has done more jto corrupt public life,*' etc., and if so Iwhat action has been taken thereon by |the president, v.

The answer is in the shape of a letter iby Secretary Olney, enclosing copies of |the two speeches, which have already !been published In the American press,and stating that except as revealed in jthe correspondence, no action has beentaken on them by the state department.This correspondence begins with a let-ter from Mr. Bayard to Secretary Ol-ney, written before the former had re-ceived any official communication onthe subject, but in view of newspaperagitation of his alleged breach of officialetiquette. Mr. Bayard In this letter callsattention to the fact that the Edinburg ;

address was delivered by invitation be-fore a society purely literary and scien-tific in character; that no political can-vass was pending or approaching InGreat Britain at the time; that the ad-dress consisted of his personal opin- ;ions, upon governmental institutions ingeneral, and that there are precedents,as in the case of his predecessor. Mr. iLowell, for an ambassador of the-United States delivering an address un-der, such conditions. -::.- -.'."\u25a0-\u25a0••• \u25a0.*•*."

On Jan. 3 Secretary Olnev cabled toMr. Bayard for details regarding theBoston speech, and on the followingday Mr. Bayard replied, recounting hisparticipation in the closing exercises of 'the school at Boston. His address up-on the occasion, he said, was im- !promptu, and "a kindly, humorous,post-prandial tone prevailed."

of the Carnival.

Mayor/Smith will surrender the keysof the city to visiting and local carni-valiers tonight, and from that time on,for the next ten days, Borealis Rex, and his guy subjects will hold unlimit-ed sway in St. Paul.

The big winter carnival will be for-mally opened at thai time. That its

i success will be equal to, if not greater

I than that of any previous carnivalheld in St. Paul is already assured.The city hotel registers exhibited longlists of new arrivals last night, whichgave a foretaste of the great throngthat will be here during the next tendays.

The carnival really began, in an in-I formal way, last night, when 500 mem.bers of the various carnival clubs ofSt. Paul, headed by the officers and di-rectors of the carnival association, vis-ited Minneapolis, marched through tho

i streets of that city and listened to en-thusiastic addresses by prominent menfrom both cities relative to the event.Beside the members of these clubs]hundreds of others went over and wit-'

i nessed the festivities.The clubs marched from their various

headquarters, and at 8 o'clock met atthe corner of Fifth and Robert, wherea long line of special intcrurhan cars

j were in waiting. The officers and di-I rectors took the first car. Si. its band' the second, and the remaining cars; were then crowded with the club mem-; bers. Among the clubs which were wellI represented were the Bofitons, Schu-• neman & Evans. Summits, Mlnne-' hahas, Militia, Red Men, Wholesalers,Finches, Modern Mephlstopheles andi I-afayettes.

The first feature of today's pro-gramme will be the curling bonspiel,which takes place at Aurora park at 1C: o clock this morning. It is anticipated

; that this event will be successful in| every way and thoroughly in line withI the rest of the carnival.

Although nothing has been placed, upon the programme for th* afternoon.I that part of the day will be well occu-f pied. Fort Karnival will be open. The[ reception of visitors will also be a feat-ure, as well as a general preparationj for the festivities of the evening. Theentrance of Bon-alls Rex and spousewill he marked at that time and thecity will be ttfrned over to his keepingIt is anticipated the magnificent pa,geant will be, in some respects, thegrandest carnival parade St. Paul hasever seen and will be a criterion of thesuccess of the entire carnival. . \u0084.

All clubs are expected to be in readi-ness- in the vicinity of the Hotel Met-ropolitan at 8 o'clock. At that pointthe ice king, the fire king, the lord highchancellor and the potentate willmount their floats and the royal consortof Borealis Rex will be placed upon herpalfrey. The fire king, William HenneryEustis, will be accompanied by a heavydelegation of the Minneapolis Elks, at-tired as demons. The cadets of thestate university will also officiate closeto the caloric monarch's throne, and thelocal committee has secured rooms atthe Metropolitan, where the Minneapo-lis fellows may change their attire.Potentate Hugo will be attended by afull galaxy of Mystic Shriners, all Inbrilliant costumes which have neveryet been seen upon the streets of St.Paul. As for Borealis himself, he willhave the whole outfit for an escort. Thefollowing clubs will be in line:

Elks, of Minneapolis.State university students.State agricultural college students.Nils-has.Lafayettes.Bostons.Schuneman & Evans. •Summits.Mnnehnhas.Militia.Iterl Men.Neil! school.Webster schoolJefferson schoolWholesalersHIeh school footballers.Eighth warders.Sundqvists.Western Unions.Mystic Shriners.Modern Mephlstopheles.Finches.Postofflce employes.

These, with others which have noVas yet reported, and the directors, thoband and the drum corps, will makaa long and attractive parade. It Isestimated that over a thousand menwill be in line, and there is such avariety of color in the uniforms thatthe procession is going to be a brilliantand impressive one. • -;-.:-'..-

Promptly at 8:20 the pageant willmove, the signal being the firing ofthree big rockets. A platoon of policewill head the procession, followed bythe corps of trumpeters from FortSnelling. Imm_*dlately after them willcome the directors in their handsomewhite and blue suits," and then willcome Borealis Rex on his crystalline/float, convoyed by a strong club. Thaother floats .will follow in succession.The second division of the parade willbe led by Kleist's carnival band, andthere will be two officii* drum corps inaddition to the club drum corps.
