Olympia, Wash., Feb. 18. Secretary

lowing letter, under dae of February
8, 1896: '. .- . ,. -"I

tne reoeipt, by reference from the presi

which you transmit a certified copy of

"The subjeot mtter of this resolu
tion, namely, the necessity of delimit
ing the Alaska frontier, under the terms
of the Russian treaty of cessation, and
the prior Anglo-Russian treaty of 1835.
both as to the southeastern coast strip

THE QJEEN'S SPEECH.
England's Desire for a Settlement of the
Venezuexa Dispute. '
London, Feb. 18. There was an
unusual amount of interest in the
opening of parliament today. ' Owing
to the many important questions that
will oome before-the present session,
nearly' air the members of the house
placed themselves on record before the
party chiefs as having heeded the calls
for a full assemblage. That part of
the queen's speech referring to the
Venezuela affair follows: ' i ,
'The government of the United
States has expressed a wish to co-operate
in the termination of differences
which have existed for many years be
tween my government and the republio
of Venezuela upon the boundary of that
country and ' my colony of British
Guiana. I have expressed my sym
pathy with a desire to oome to an
equitable arrangement, and trust fur-
ther negotiations will lead to a satis
factory settlement" .
Sir William Harcourt, commenting
on the speech, said he rejoiced at the
paragraph with regard to Venezuela,
as it held out the hope that the ques
tion could be settled at an early date.
He added that no words that could
impede such a settlement would fall
from him. .This was greeted with
loud cheers, as it disposes of the report
that the liberal leader had determined
to make an attack upon the govern
ment's policy in regard to Venezuela,
whioh bourse necessarily would . have
led to an' exchange of warm remarks,
which might have impeded the pro
gress of the settlement of the dispute.
Continuing, Sir William said mis
understandings both in England and in
the United States existed, and had
caused ruffled feelings on both sides.
The idea that Great Britain disputed
the application of the Monroe doctrine
was nothing new or etxraordinaty.
Monroeism, he ; asserted, - was . not a
principle of international law, but one
of national policy, to whioh the Ameri
cans have a traditional and passionate
attachment, and it was the same doo-
trine by virtue of whioh Great Britain
bad interfered with .. various states
where her interests were affected.
It is announced on authority that
following the : advice of the United
States, Venezuela has practioally de
cided to send a. representative to Lon
don with power to open negotiations
with the government of Great Britain
for the settlement of the boundary dis
pute. . ' ' : '.'" ' ' ;

, DOINGS OF CONGRESS.
Routine Work of the Fifty-Fourth Sen
' slon Senate.
Washington, Feb. 13. In the senate
today Quay's resolution to recommit
the tariff bill went over. The long
pending resolution, whioh has brought
out so much criticism of the seoretary
of agrioulture, was passed without
division. - The measure was amended
so as to provide that the purchase and
distibution of seeds shall proceed as
heretofore. Blanohard was reoognized
for a speech bn the Monroe doctrine.
He strongly commended the president
ior tne reassertion of the Monroe dco
trine, and advocated that it be given
the sanction of legislative indorsement. -
A discussion of Secretary Carlisle's
observance ; of oivil service .rnethods
came up on a provision of the deficiency

service to a lot of "cigarette-smoking
dudes." The senate, -in exeoutive ses
sion, confirmed the following nomina
tions: W. W. Rookhill, to be first as
sistant secretary of state;" William
Gallbway, to be receiver of publio
moneys at Oregon City, Or. "
Washington, Feb. 14. There was
an unusually full attendance on the
Republican side of the senate chamber
today, as Morrill, chairman of the
finance committee, had given notice of
a motion to take up the tariff bill.
The deficiency appropriation bill held
its place as unfinished business, and
there was no disposition to displace it.
Vest secured the adoption of a resolu
tion calling on the seoretary of agricul
ture to report what recent changes
have been made in the quarantine, line
against cattle coming north from Tex
as. Peffer came forward with a
lengthy resolution proposing a senate
investigation of the oiroumstanoes of
all the recent bnd issues. The resolu-.
tion proposes a special committee of
fire senators and gives oommprehensive .
directions as to the soope of the in
quiry, the dealings with the syndicates,
the effect of such dealings and explicit
information as to the purohasers of the
bonds, the rate, and all attendant cir
cumstances. , Morrill asked that the
resolution go to the finance oommit-
te, but it went over.
Washington, Feb. 15. The friends
of the tariff -bill met an unexpected
repulse this afternoon, when, by the v
vote of 21 ayes and 29 noes, the senate
defeated the motion of Morrill to take
up the tariff bill. The negative vote
which defeated the motion, was given
by Democrats, Populists and four Re
publican senators Teller, Mantle, Du
bois and Carter. The affirmative vote
was entirely Republican, but its total
of 21 is less than half of the aggregate
Republican strength. The senate has
passed the bill authorizing the leasing
of lands in Arizona for educational
purposes; also, the bill authorizing the
i irst .National bank of Spragne.Wash.: "
to change its name and location; also, '
the bill authorizing repairs for the
publio wharf at Sitka, Alaska.
.' ,; ' House. . ; .
Washington, Feb. 14. At 12 o'clock
the regular order of the house began. ;
Cannon presented a senate joint reso
lution appropriating $75,000 for the
purpose of making a joint survey ' to
gether with Great Britain of : the -
boundary line between Alaska and
British territory. The resolution was
adopted.' The house then resumed
consideartion of the bond silver bill,
Dolliver taking the floor in opposition
to the free-coinage proposition. He
reviewed the story of the subject from
the fourteenth century, and said the '
demonetization of silver in 1878 bad
not struck it down," for during a pre
vious period of seventy years there had
been no silver circulation. McMillin
followed. He said there was an in
sufficient currency , and that we should
not wait for the co-operation of any
foreign country, before taking steps to
improve our financial affairs. . He was
not for monometalism or anything of
the sort; he desired the use of both
metals. Brosius opposed free coinage,
and Bailey sought to prove that gold
had appreciated within the last twenty
years, saying that if this were true the .
opponents of silver would have nothing
to stand on.
Washington, Feb. 15: After a ten:
days' debate the house today, by a vote
of 80 to 190, in committee of the
whole, rejected the senate free coinage
amendment to the bond bill, and re-,
ported back to the house, with a recom
mendation to nonconcur and . insist
upon the house bill. The most signifi
cant statement today came in the form
of an ultimatum from Dingley that a
bill might be reported from the ways
and means committee looking to the
initiation by this country of a project
of another international monetary con
ference to meet within a year. While'
Dingley said be was expressing his .per.
sonal position in the matter, it was
generally understood from the manner
in which he said it that the suggestion
bad already matured into a well-defined
intention on the part of the Re-'
publican leaders of the houss.
