Two years have passed since the
at.ove was written, but today we
find no reason for receding from the
position which we then took. True,
the eagle's 'scream is heard along our
southern borders, but the scream has
preen brought about by ambitious poli-
ticians who are anxious to use the cry
to Bolster ap the fortune.' of a totter-
ing party which have been wily shat-
tered
hattered at the November ballot boxes.
it may mean open hostility and *sties
warfare against Canada, or it may
mean only a miserable hid for cheap
popularity on the part of a moribund
administration : hut whether it means
the one or the other. it finals no sym-
pathir.rs aorth of the boundary line.
The duty of Canadians is plain,
whether they he ()rite or Tories, Col-
onists or (ootinentalista. They all
love the land in which their lot is east,
awl where the remains of their loved
o... lie, and rather than yield one
foot of the sacred moil to the arm d

Washington, I)erc, 17. -The President
sent to Congress to -day the Yenezur-
1an correspondence. accompanied by
Ore following message:
In my annual message, ad-
dressed to the Congress un
fire third Instant. I called
attention to the pending boundary
controversy between Great Britain and
the Republic of Venezuela, and recl'' 1
the substance of a representation
111114e by this Government to Her Bri-
tannic Majesty's Government. suggest-
ing reasons why such dispute should
oe submitted to arbitration for fettle-
nient, and Inqulting whether it would
be so submitted.
"The answer of the British Govern-
ment, which was then aw.tit'•d. has
since been recela•ed, and. together with
tier despatch to which It la a reply le
hereto appended.
-Such reply is embodied :n two com-
munications addressed by the 13clac•b
,'rime Minister to Sir Julian Paunce-
fute, the Britleh Ambassador at this
capital. It will be seen that one of
these communications :s devoted ex-
clusively to observations upon the
Munroe doctrine, and deigns that In
the prettent Instance. a new and •t range
extension and development of title
doctrine is Insisted on by the tini.ea
hates, that th - re -aeons justify Ing an
appeal to the ,,,,deine enunciated b>
t•resldent Mone. a are generally Iual•-
p'lloable 'to the etate of things in
which we live at the present time,
and especially Inapplicable to a con-
troversy Involving the boundary line
between Great Britain and Ven•-surla.
"Without attempting ext'nd.'d argu-
ment in reply to these I.c.eltions, It
may not be. amiss to suggest that the
doctrine upon which we stand is
strong and sound, because its enfurnr-
ment is Important to our peace and
safety lie a nation, and is essential to
the Integrity of our free Institutions
amt the - traaauU maintenance
.•1 our dl.tlnctive form of
Government. It Is Intended to
apply to every stage of our national
L'te, and cannot become obsolete while
our republic endures. If the balance
of power is justly a cause for Jealous
anxiety among the governments of the
old world, and a subject for our abso-
lute non -Interference. none the leas Is
an observance of the Monroe doctrine
a vital concern to our people and their
government.
"Apsuming, therefore. that we may
properly Inelst upon this doctrate
a Ithout regard to the 'state of things
Ir which we live,' or any changed con-
ditions here or elsewhere, It 11. not
apparent why its application may not
Le invoked in the present controversy.
"I1 will be seen from the correspond-
(ne• herewith submitted that this pro-
(l.aitlon has been declined by the Brit-
ish Government. upon grounds which,
in the circumstances. seem to me to be
tar from satisfactory. It Is deeply dip-
ap, ointtng that euch an appeal. actu-

and to the magnanimity of one of the

ing Its relations to one comparatively

' The course to he pursued by the
U '.. rnenent in view .•f the present
condition. does not appear to admit of
eo-rloup doubt. Having i .R"red faith-
fully for many years to induce Great
Britain to submit this dispute to i)n-
partial arbitration. and having been
new finally apprised of her refusal to

the situation. to recognise its plain re-
r;ulrements and deal with It accordlnly.
"in order that puck an examination
should be prosecuted In a thorough
and satisfactory manner, I suggest
that the Congress mike an adequate
nppreprlatlon for the ext'rnses of a
cnmml'leinn, to be appointed by the
l•:eeeutive, who shall make the neces-
sary investigation and report upon th -
matter with the least pooslble delay.
When euch report Is made and accept-
ed, It w111, In my opinion. be the duty
of the United States to resliut by every

sion upon Its rights. and interests, the
appropriation by Great Britain of any

Jurisdiction over any territory, which,
atter investigation, we have determin-
ed of right belong to Venezuela.
"In making these rtcommendatlnne.1

sequences that may follow.

viction that, while It 1e a grievous

Lora Salisbury's reply is addressed
to SW Julian Pauneefute, British Am-
bassador at Waahingloa, under date
of Nov. ri last. This dealt only with
the *plantation of the Monroe dot -Trine
In the tsar at Woe and was followed
the same day by another note discus -
g ing the boundary dispute.
The dispute between Great Britain
and 'Venezuela, aver* Lord Salisbury,
Is a controversy with which the I'nitad
States have no apparent practical con-
cern.
t'ontinuing. In short. pithy sentences.
he says it 1r difficult Indeed to ser how
Mr question In controversy can ma-
terially affect any state or community
outsiar those primarily Interested
that the disputed frontier of Vene-
zuela has nothing to do with any of
the questions Balt with by President
Menroc': that It is not • eueetlon 01
the colonisation by any European
power of any portion of America, nor
of the imposition upon the communi-
ties of South Amertea of any system
of governnient devised In Europe.
"It is," he said. "simply the deter-
mination of the frontier of a British
p,seesion whIee belonged to the throne
of England lung before the republic of
Venezuela 'came Into exlstrnee."
As he proceeds In the diecua.lod the
language of Lord Salisbury becomes
tart. He argue,, on the theory th..!
the Monroe doctrine in :Pelf is sound,
b(.t diadems any intention of bring
ur.e1 rsto:d as exp-i,.lnh any aeeept-
anoe of it on the part of Her Majesty's
Government. He givers Mr. Olney
as raying, "'Mat distance and NM
Mies 1/ Intervening .'cyan make any
political union between a European
ar,d American stat,- unnatural and in-
expedient will hardly be denied." and
adds that "Thr necessary mearing art

resident ltubrur, says lois Lend -
•hip dieclalms easy such Inference
from h1■ doctrine, but In this. as in
other respects Mr. Olney develops; it.
"He lays down," rare Lord Salisbury.
"that the inexpedient and unnatural
oharreter of the• unioa between a
European and an Arer!can state is
eo obvious that it *111 hardly be de-
n ied.
"Her Majesty's Government are pre -
panel em,elisticslly to deny It ..n be-
half of Toth British and American
people who are rubject to her crown.
They maintain th..t the union 1 -1*. -'n
Great Britain and her territories In
the western hemisphere is both natur-
al and expedient. But they are not
prepared to admit that the reos.eni-
tion of that expediency is clothed wit`
the sanction w-hsch t. -bongs to the
adoption of international law. They
are not prepared to admit that the In-
termit' of the t-nited States are neces-
sarily concerned in every frontier die -

leas can they accept the doctrifoi that
the United State, art entitled to claim
that the procaine of arbitration shall
be applied to any demand for the sur-
render of territory which one of these
.tatee may make against another."
Lord Salisbury concludes with the
statement that Her Majeety"s Govern-
ment have not surrendered the hope
that the controversy between them-
selves and \''-nezueta will be adjusted
by reasonable arrangement at an .ar-
ty date.
The second not. of Nov, ei is wholly.
devoted to a dliicusoion of the bound-
ary dispute. exclusive of its relation
to the Monroe doctrine

London, Dee. 1S. -The Times says :
"It Is lmposisble to disguise the grav-
ity of the difficulties that have arisen
between this country and the i'nited
States. The message which President
Cleveland trancmlred to Congress and
the reception It met from both sides
In the Renate give an additional Im-
portance to the dispatches that have
passed between the State Department
at Washington and the Foteigu Ounce.
The details of the boundary dispute
with Venezuela are Insignificant in
comparison with the far-reaching claim
put forward in Mr. (Hney's despatch
and emphasized In Mr. Cleveland's
messaget'..nincest as we are that a
rupture t.etween he two great Eng-
lish speaking communities would he a
calamity net only to themselves, but
to the civilized world, we are neverthe-
less driven to the concluelon that the

of all one ruling an empire that has

It has; never been recognised -even in

his full concurrence with the view that
the dleturtennce of territory In the
western hemisphere by fresh acquisl-
sltlon on the part of Europrsn .tnt.a
