It Is Said the American People Were

Never More in Earnest.

Panis, Dec. 20.—Gil Blas publishes a | interview with H. Vig

wad, assistant secretary of the United Mr. Vignaud expresses

He did not whose interests were ) pored to those of Eugland everywhere, would favor Great Britain, especially as France has not opposed the aime of the Uniced States anywhere. Mr. Vignand aid he felt certa'n that the United States would not yield, bat that Great Britain, which had everything to lose in a war, would give way. War, he said, meant that Canada would become part of the United States, and that English trade would be destroved within a mouth follow- ing the outbreak of hostilities, A few shells thrown into an open port woud cost England dear. There was no doubt in his min’, he said. that in the event of war France wonld take advantage of the occasion to settle the question in regard to Egypt and Siam, while Russia would ad- vance her interests in India.

Loxp ox, Dec. 20.- In a speech delivered at Bristol to-day, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, made a passing refercoce to Presi’ent Cleve- land’s message. Some people, he said, appeared to regard war between the United States and Great Britain impossi- tle, ow:ng to the ties of kinship, N. thirg wis impos-ible. War had already hap- pened between them. If kinsmen unhap- pi y differed, they became sometimes very bitter enemies.

New York, December 20.—The Pot says: ‘That we are going, in the name of the Monroe doctrine, to assert such ownership of the American hemisphere as will enable us to trace all the boundary lines on it to our own sati+~ faction, in defiance of the rest of the wor'd, is a thesis which we do not believe is yet ripe for discussion. There was a telegram from South America in Jast Sun- day’s newspapers to the eff ct that France had got tired disputing with Brazil about the boundary of French Guiana, and that her next move would be a naval de- monstration in the vicinity of Rio or some other Braziljau port. We have been much surprised at the sileuce of the Jingo press ever the threatened infraction of the Morroe dogtrine. We wond:r, too, whet has become of Lodge, Morgan, Livingston, and the rest of the Jingo congressmen ? How ean they eat their Christmas turkeys with the prospect of French cannon boom: ing in Youth American waters ? What is Secretary Olney doing ? We shouhi like to inquire. Has he, or has he not, sent a despatch to Paris proposing arbitration of the boundary dispnte, and insisting on “a definite answer?” In aword, we wonkd like to know whether we keep one kind of Monroe doctrine for Eng and and a ditfer- ent one fur France.”

Great Britain has tal en. Italy, Germany, France and Spain al) have claims against South Ameriean countrirs which might involve the seizure of terri- tory before being settled. It is farther understcod that these nations have ap- proved of Great Britain’s reply to the United States, and will extend mater‘al aid in case of trouble, expecting mutual support frcm one auoth r inca eof simi- lar complications be ‘a!ling each or any of them.

New York, Dec, 20.—The World saya President Cleveland’s message to cangress on the Venezuelar. matter is a serious blunder. It is a blunder be- cause it is based uj on a wrong canceytion, because it is vot sustained by international law or y+age,” and because it’ places the United *tates-in a false position. The President in his message, like Secretary Olney in his despatches, assumes that the pohey of Great Britain in Ven-- zuela involyes a menace to this country, The president says that “the doctrine (of Monroe) upon which we stand, is strong and sound because its en- fercement is important to our peace and safety as a nation anl is essential to the integrity of our f ee institutions and the tranquil maintainance of our distinctive form of governmen’”” This is the con ception of the situation upon which the president bases his tire: t of war.

our “peace and safety as a n.tion,” the “integrity of our free institutions” and “the tranquil maintenance of our dis— tinctive form of governmen.” threatened by an extension, however unwarranted and arbitrary, of the English pos-essions in Venezuela? The preposterous nature of this j:ngo bugaboo is sufficiently indicated

by pointing to Canada and Uritish Columbia, on our very borver, Eugland if not a “foreign nation” in this hemis-

Wasuincron, Dec. 20.—In the senate to-day, during the bebate on the Venezuel- an commission bill, Sherman (rep. Ohio) said he cuuld not see the uecessity of | haste.

An amendment to the bill, he sad. would ve con-trned in’ Eng'and as hesita- tion on the part of the senate to sustain the president.

Mi l- (lem. Tex.) wanted t . know where we were to get revenue to carry on war? Let us not commit the great mistake of under-estimating our enemy. The first duty of the United State: government, he said, is to strike from the constitu ion the article preventing the taxing of real estate. The nation should be enabled to get its revenue, so that we will never be compelled to sub- mit to peace with dishonor.

Mr. Chandler (rep. N. H.) said he had expressed the belief some time ago that this subject would be settied some time within the next 20 years. To-day in Londun the President of the United States, the great apostle of tariff reform and free trade, and the pride of the aristocracy of Great Britain, was denounced as insane.

Mr. Tillman asked Mr. Chandler whether, if he knew the resulution meant the depletion of the treasury, the extin- guishment of the gold reserve, and the sending of this country to a silver basis, he would still vote for it.

Mr. Chandler said he was prepared to vote for any sacrifice to maintain the honor of this country.

Mr. Turpie (iem., Ind.) said congress, when it passed the pending bill, had cross- ed the rubicon, and there could be no re- treat. He believed the Monroe doctrine was right and he believed it would be fully enforced by all the plenary power of the United States after he ascertgined the truth an! if England still refused to vield. We ae not bound to wait for an act of aggre sicn. The whole of this continent, south of the Canadian boundary, with the excep- tion of British Guiana. and one or two little specks, was consecrated to the republican form of government. We did nol assume gny guardianship of these re-

publics, Their guardianship was cast upon us. We could not avoid it. We are bound by conditions to maintain our

supremacy and our gvardian-bip must continue, Mr. Turpie predicted the Unit- ed State- of Central America and the Unit: ed States of South America.

Paris, Dec 20.--TLe Gaulois publishes an ioterview with Coynt Chaygdordy, the eminent French statesman, in which he expresses the opinion thet Eugland has found her ma-ter in arrogance. He thought that the Monroe doctrive applied to North Americ*, not to South America.

Sir Charles Dilke, member of the Briti-h parliament, who is in Paris, has also been interviewed

on the subje_tof the Am rican president’s message. He heartily approv.s of the attitule assumed by Lord Sa isbury, which, he said, was the only position he could adopt. Arb‘tration, he thought, was imposible, but between that and serious talk of warthere was a long dis- tance. The corquest of Canada by the United States, he thought, was possible, but the cost and sacrifices would be aimi- lar to those incurred in the civil war, whiethe British fleet could destroy the commerce Of Atierica. Venezuela would be the first to snffer in the event of war. Her towns would quickly be destroyed by the British fleet before aid could ‘arriy¢ from the United States.

Panis, Dec. 20—The Temps says the possibility of war between Great Brita n and the United States controverts the pro- verb that “booed is thicker than water,’ and pricks (he bublle of an Ang’o-Saxvu federation. It adds that the violence of American politiciacs is laughable, al- though the matter becomes grave when it is remembered the excitement is echoed in England,

The present war scare is beneficial in calling attention to the inadequate nature of Canadian defences. The military mem- bers of the house are a uuit in demanding from the government the re-arming of the militia with Lee-Metfords. It is said that parliament will be asked to appropriate a sum of money totest smokeless powder.

GREAT BRITAIN CALM Loxvoy, Dre. 23.

No one in the thick o* events here or who is In @ position tojudgeof public feeling can honestly affirm that the country is in a state of excitement over the difficulties that have arisen in connection with the Angle-Venezurlan dispute. That some of the newspapers represent whatever par- tial effervescence has existed over Presi- dent Cleveland’s messaze is naw evaporat- ed, and if no nu. w surprise is sprung upon the British people, the whole matter will soon become mere newspaper war. The placidity prevailing at the Foreign Offce may be judged from the fact that Prime Minister Salisbury has seen no cause to summon a meeting of the Cabinet to con- sider the position. It is expected that no Cabinet meeting will be held until the views of American Governmeut officials reach the Foreign Office. It depends upon the nature and tone of the commun- ivation whether the situation becomes really criical. In the meantime the pol- icy of the Foreign Office is to lay low and say nathing.
