Washington, Dec. 17. President Cleveland submitted to congress today tho following message on tho Venoznela question : In my annual message addressed to congress on the 3d instant, I called at tention to tho pending boundary con troversy between Great Britiau and the republic of Vonezuela, and recited the substance of tho representation made by this government to her Britannic majes ty's government, suggesting tho ruaeons why such disputes should bo submitted to arbitration for settlement, and in quiring whether it would bo so sub mitted. Tho answer of the British government, which was then awaited, has 6ince been received, and together with the dispatch lo which it is a reply, is hereto apponded. Such reply is embodied in two communi cations addressed by the British prime minister to Sir Julian Pauuceforto, tho British ambassador at this capital. It will be seen that ouo of these communi cations id devoled exclusively to obecr- vations upon tho Monroo doctrine, aud claims re made that in the present in stance a new and strange extension nud development of this doctrine ia insisted on by the United States, and that tho reasons justifying an appeal to the doc trine enunciated by President Monroe, are generally inapplicable "to the state o! things in which we live at the prudent day," and especially inapplicable to the controversy involving tho boundary line tho final meritH of tho dispute, but anx ious to loam in a satisfactory and con clusive iniiiiiior w bother Great Britain sought, under the claim of boundary, to extend her possessions oil this continent without the right, or whether fIio merely sought possession of territory already in cluded within her lines of ownership, this government proposed to tho govern ment of Great Britnin to resort to arbi tration ns tho proper means ot nettling tho question, to the end that tho vexa tious boundary dispute between the two contestants might be determined, and our exact standing and relation to the controversy might bo made clear. It will bo seen from the correond enco herewith submitted that this pro position lias been declined by the Brit ish government, upon grounds which, undnr the circumstances, seem to lie far from eatistuctory. It ia deeply disap pointing that such an appeal, actuated ly the most friendly feelings toward both nations directly concerned, ad dressed to the sense of juBtico of ono of the great powers of the world, and touch ing its relations to one comparatively weak and small, should haye produced no better results. The course to bo pur sued by this government in view of the present condition docs not appear to ad mit of serious doubt. Having labored faithfully for many years to induce Great Britain to submit this dispute to impar tial arbitration, and having been now finally apprised of her refusal to do so, nothing remains but to accept the situ ation, to recognize its plain requirements, and to deal with it accordingly. Great Britain's present proKEition has never thus far been regarded as admis sible by Venezuela, though any adjust ment of tho boundary which that coun try may deem for her advantage and may enter into of her own free will, can not, of course, be objected to by the United Stales. Assuming, however, that the altitude of Venezuela will re main unchanged, the dispute has reached such a stage as to make it now incum beut uiHjn the United States to take measuren to determine with sufficient certainty for its justification what is the true divisional line between the republic of Venezuela and British Guiana. In quiry to .that end should, of course, be I conducted carefully and judicially, and frank, honuft and manly support of the Monroo doctrine," Both sideB joined in applause at the mention of tho Monroo doctrine.

Dun- can, n. atrong anu u. 11. uuunaug, were all dismissed for want of evidence to convict. From considerable of the estimony submitted il was plain to per ceive that there was more or less spite work at the bottom of tkc complaints. Bnt these complaints all cost the county heavily and the tax payers have to foot the bill. Oar statutes ought to provide for the taxpayers' protection by requiring all criminal prosecutors to give bonds lo cover expenses in all cases which fail to convict. Such a requirement would put a stop to about three-fourth of the cases for such as larceny, burglary and slan der, &.C., Ac, and be a saving of thou sands of dollars every year to tho tax payers. So long as parties .who have a spile at a neighbor can rush into court to harsass and annoy him for a fancied roug at tho county's exjHjnse they will do so; but if they have to give bonds to cover all costs in cases which fail for want of evidence, they will not bring action till they can make it stick. otherwise.

The Monroe .doctrine finds its recog nition in thoe principles of internation al law which aro based upon the theory that every nation shall have its rights protected and its just claims enforced. Of course, this government is entirely confident that under the sanction of this doctrine we have clear rights and un doubted claims. Nor is this ignored in the British reply. The prime minister, while not admitting that tho Monroe doctrine is applicable to the present con ditions, states that President Monroe adopted a policy which received the en tire sympathy of the English govern ment of that date. Ho further declares "though the language of President Mon roe is directed to the attainment of ob jects which most Englishmen would ngree to bo salutary, it is impossible io admit that lhey havo been inscribed by any adequate authority in tho codo of in tcrnational law."
