etatement as to the Monroe doctrine,

that! presume.it intended to."
' "Do you think that England is bound
to accept a boundary in South America
which we dictate?" -
"As I understand the position of this
government in regard" to the appoint
ment of a commission, it is that the
facts maybe ascertained for the in for
mation of the government, by which I
mean the executive and congress, in re
gard to the dispute between Venezuela
and British Guiana. This information,
as I understand it, is for the informa
tion of the government, and the Ameri

expected that its conclusions were bind

RUSSIAN COMMENT.
Impossibility of an Anglo-Saxon Union
Gives Satisfaction.
New York, DecJ 25.-7-A special to the
Herald, from St.' Petersburg, says :
The Herald says in reference to the
Anglo-American dispute that the pro
test of the bankers is of importance,
more so than the political applauding of
the governors.
The Novosti strikes a new note:
"Russian., sentiment in the Anglo-
American dispute,", it declares, "is one
of satisfaction over this proof of the im
possibility of an Anglo-Saxon union.
Such a union," adds the paper, "would
be a threat to the independence of other
nations.1 ' . . ,. . .
.Referring to the message the Novosti
says that in reality the Washington cab
inet is striving for the complete exclu
sion of the European powers from the
American continent.

Are Aired.
New York, Dec'. 25. A special from
Belin Bays : ' . . .
Emperor William has expressed the
opinion that the Anglo-American con
flict will end in an understanding be-.
tween the two powers. The czar will do
nothing to encourage President Clevet
land in his present policy, as the United

if President Cleveland should persist in
his present policy.

Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa
Mai la "Times," Cal., in speaking of the
various ailments of children said:
" When my children have croup there is
only one patent medicine I ever use, and
that is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately.' It is, in my opinion, the best
cough medicine in the market." If this
remedy is freely given as soon as the
croup cough appears it will prevent the
attack. . It is also an ideal remedy for
whooping couch. There ia no danger in
givinu it to children, as it contains noth-
lug injurious. ror -eale by rsiakeley &

tow and held her for -five dayp, when,
owing to severe storms, she was forced
to cast off and abandon her. The recent
western storms and heavy seas drove the
steamer toward Bliore, and she barely
saved herself from going ashore on the
Washington coast by dropping anchor.
She came into port uninjured.
