Washington, Dec. 17. Ihe presi

of the committee on foreign relatione,

At 1 o'clock the senate resumed legis
lative session and the message of the
president was laid before the senate.
The senators showed the keenest in
terest in the reading of the message.
There was hardly a yacant seat on the
republican side, and but few absentees
on the democratic side. As the reading
closed there was a hearty hand-clapping
from all quarters of the chamber, Chan
dler leading the demonstration on the
republican side. Veterans of the senate
say it was the most spontaneous demon
stration in their recollection,
The message and accompanying docu

foreign relations, and at 1:15 p.m. the

stop fighting from sheer exhaustion.
Then we will plunge to the front with

prominence all tne newspapers give
President Cleveland's message to
congress on the Venezuelan boundary
question, the general public refuses to
get excited , or even interested. Those
who read the correspondence resent
President Cleveland's attitude, but al
most the invariable answer received to
inquires for an expression of opinion is,
"What is it all about, anyway?"
The message, however, was being nsed
on the stock exchange to hammer Amer
ican securities. Consols declined, but
there was no excitement. One news
paper remarked :

Cincinnatti, Dec. 18. The papers to

viewed was ex-Governor Foraker, who
said:
"Yes, Cleveland's message has the
true American ring."
"What if it brings war?"
"I don't care if it does. I always be
lieved in the Monroe doctrine."
This but faintly expresses the general
feeling here.
Senators Approve It.
Washington, Dec. 18. Following are
a few of the many opinions in the same
line expressed by United States senators:
Senator Davis, republican member of
the committee on foreign relations "I
think the president has risen to an op
portunity such as has not been presented
to any president in many years. In
language of greatjdignity, power and ac
curacy, ne has stated toe; Monroe doc

people for 70.year."

There was a round of laughter and ap
plause from the republican side.
"There is the message," proceeded
Crisp. "It lies unheeled, and yet, it is
a frank, honest and manly support of
the Monroe doctrine."
, Both sides joined in applause at the
mention of tne Monroe doctrine.

Tebke Haute, Dec. 19. Ex-Secretary
of the navy R. W. Thompson, in com
menting on the president's message to
congress, said that he does not think
there is a remote chance of. war with
England. There is no probaoility of the
two English-speaking peonies of the
world going to war about a little strip of
territory alongside of Venezuela.
"It will be a war of diplomacy." he
said. "Both countries will demand an
exhibition of power and purpose, but
the controversy will be settled bv
peaceful methods. Neither nation is
prepared to go to war, and neither wants
a war as a result of this quarrel over a
boundary line. It is not necessary for
eithar'to light to show that it is nit
cowardly. Each knows the other will
fight, but each is too far advanced in
civilization to be the aggressor in bring
ing on a war on such provocation." - '
Colonel Thompson said one phase ot
the question presented itself to bis mind
which would probably open tip a. pro
longed discussion. ..The 'coon try had
never affirmed the Monroe doctrine and
given notice to other nations. ' So far
the doctrine is merely the doctrine of
President Monroe. . While it is accepted
everywhere as expressing our position
in regard to the encroachment of foreign
powers on the American continent, it
has not been given the force of congres
sionai anirmation. England may say
she had never been notified of the inten
tion . of the people of the United States
to maintain the position of protesting
against the acquirement of territory of
Jiiuropeau nations on the American
continent."

The prisoner turned pale at these
words, but exhibited wonderful ncrve-
