Washington, Dec. is—Accompany-

correspondence on the subject. It

BAYAIiD'S HAD BREAK.
It Is Bound to Be Investigated
Most rivn-outfhly.
Kven Democrats Condemn the Ambassa-
dor's Loquacity Why the People
of I iall Are Down on
Washington, Die. 10.— (Special.) —
With malice towards none and charity
for all, the house committer on forrign
affairs will investigate the diplomatic
policy of the administration and its
agents. It is probable, howevrr, that
Ambassador Bayard will have every
reason to rrgrrt that his Anglomaniac-
al tendencies bulged out through his
mouth.
It is well for the country that Con-
gressman llitt, of Illinois, has recov-
ered his health and strength, for at this
juncture in affairs the countr
just such a man of experience at the |
head of the committee on to
tions in order that its deliberations I
may be conduct** with vigor and at I
the same time with diplomat ic conserv- j
atism.
It is a significant fact that a number -
of the younger members from the ;
south are patriotic enough to condemn j
tlie act ions of Ambassador Bayard, and i
also that they do not commend the «
democratic administration for its fail- ,
tire to defend and uphold the Monroe |
doctrine in regard to the Venezuelan J
controversy. Y'ouug Mr. Bailey, of
Texas, to-day said: "11 the Barrett J
resolution had been one of censure in-
stead of one of impeachment.of Ambas-
sador Bayard, 1 should ha\r voted in
the affirmative, beci use I have nodoubt
that Ambassador Bayard deserves the
censure of the house of representatives.
I am inclined to believe, also, that a
patriotic president- hould immediate-
ly demand his return to this country
by the appointment of a successor.
There are plenty of men in the demo-
cratic party who. in my judgment,
would be- honorable towards all men
and at the same time patriotic enough
to defend rather than rem ure t he coun-
try or any of its policies."
That is a sample of what the young
element in the southern states is com-
ing' to. They arc not inclined to fight
out the old war-time animosities of
their fathers, but are coming rapidly
into line under the flug of ti common
country, with u common purpose of
bettering the condition of un entire peo-
ple. It is the younger element in the
south that is bringing that hit herto un-
fortunate section into the ranks of re-
publicanism, and it is their energy and
determination of character that is
bringing prosperity to that section.
The right of u sovereign state to rep-
resentation in the senate and house
of representatives is regarded as a mat-
ter of the highest privilege by our peo-
ple. The sovereign state of Utah has
complied with all the provisions of the
enabling: act ami is ready for admission
to the union, but President Cleveland
went off on a fishing trip and the peo-
ple of the sovereign state must await
his pleasure. The commissioners ap-
pointed under the enabling act of ad-
mission to the union were here in Wash-
ington for many days, with the re-

turns of the recent election and u copy
of the constitution adopted, and Pres-
ident Cleveland should have been here
to receive those returns and read that
constitution so that immediately there-
after he could issue his proclamation
that the state of Utah i3 admitted to
the union. Inasmuch as he was ab-
sent from the city the proclamation
could not be issued, and therefore the
a-'.scmbling of the legislature of the
state of Utali cannot occur until the
Christmas holidays, so that the state
of Utah may not have representation
in the senate or house of representa-
tives until tin* latter part of January,
if President Cleveland had stayed in
Washington attending to the duties of
the position to which he was elected,
the proclamation admitting' Utah to
the union could he issued immediate
the legislature of that state could
pcmble, senators could be elected and
sent to Washington, and the entire ma-
,(ls | chinery of the r.tat • government i
, I eal and federal affairs could be set in
iffn rela- j motion, as was contemplated by the
law of the land creating the 45th state
of the union.
The absence of the president from
the white house during the session of
congress was emphasized daily by the
arrival of Maj. Pruden, the executive
clerk, who appeared before the senate
every afternoon and announced that he
would present the senate "sundry lues
sages from the president of the United
States." As a matter of fact, these
messages were not direct from the pres-
ident of the United States, who was off
on ti hunting trip, but the heads of
the various departments. Before Pres-
ident Cleveland turned his back upon
I ublic business in Washington for pleas
ure on the Atlantic coast, he signed
his name to a number of blank nom-
ination papers and handed them ove
to the various cabinet officers for use
during his absence. These blanks were
filled out from day to day by the sec
retary of state, the secretary of the
treasury and other cabinet officers and
sent to the senate by Maj. Pruden, who
announced that he was delivering "sun
dry messages from the president of the
United States."

man of my committee," said a Pentisy

mittees are announced. Many a con-

Britain, looking to the arbitration of by the forcible assumption of a Europe--
the boundary dispute. This bears the
date of July 20 last and is
addressed to Mr. Bayard. The
secretary begins by stating that the
president has given much anxious
thought to the subject and has not
reached a conclusion without a lively
sense of its great importance as well
as of the serious possibility involved in
any action now to be taken. He then
comments on the long duration of the
boundary dispute, the "indefinite"
claims of both parties and "the contin-
uous growth of the undefined British
claims." the fate of the various at-
tempt at arbitration of the controversy
and the part in the matter heretofore
taken by the United States. Heshows
that the British claims since the
Sclioinburg lino was run have moved
the frontier of British Guiana farther
and farther to the westward of the
line proposed by Lord Aberdeen in
1844. lie then summarizes the situa-
tion at the beginning of the year and
the secretary lays it down as
canon of international law.
that a nation may justly inter-
pose in a controversy between other
nations whenever "what is done or
proposed by any of the parties prima-
rily concerned is a serious and direct
menace to its own integrity, tranquil-
ity or welfare." This leads the secre-
tary up to an elaborate review of the
Monroe doctrine and after stating that
the proposition that America is no part
open to colonization has long been
conceded, he says that present concern
is with the other practical application
of the Monroe doctrine—that Amer-
ican non-intervention in Europe nec-
essarily implied European non-inter-
vention in American affairs, the disre-
gard of which by any European power
is to be deemed an act of unfriendli-
ness toward the United States.
The secretary says that it is mani-
fest that a rule which has been openly
and uniformly acted upon by the ex-
ecutive branch of the government for
70 years must have had the sanction of
congress.
"American questions, it is said, are
for American decision," says Secretary
Olney, and then applying this doctrine
in the reverse he says:

The I'renhtent Suggest** That Congress Ap.

Washington, Dec. 17.—Soon after
both houses of congress met to-day,
the president sent, by Executive Clerk
Pruden, the expected message in re-
gard to the British-Venezuelan compli-
cation. It was at once read in both
houses, as follows:
To the Congress:
In my annual message, addressed to the con-
gress on the 8d Inst, I called attention to the
pending boundary controversy between tireat
Ihitain and the republic of Venezuela, and re-
cited the substance of a representation made
by this government to her Britannic majesty's
g iverument suggesting reasons why such dis-
pute should 1-e submitted to arbitration for
settlement and inquiring whether It would be
no submitted.
The answer of the British government.which
was then awaited, has since been received and,
toce tlier with the dispatch to which It is a re-
ply. is hereto appended
Such reply Is embodied In two communica-
tions addressed by the British prune minister
to sir Julian 1'uuncefole. the British ambas-
sador at tVis capital. It will be seen that one
of these communications Is devoted ex-
clusively to observations upon the Monroe
doctrine and claims that in the pnunt
instance a new ami strange exten-
sion and development of this doctrine is in-
sisted on by the United States, that the rea-
sons Justifying an appeal to the doctrine enun-
ciated by President Monroe are generally in-
applicable to the state of things in which wo
I live at the present day" and especially inap-
plicable to a controversy involving the bound-
ary line between (trout Britain and Venezuela
j Without attempting extended arguments in
reply to these positions, it may not be amiss to
suggest that the doctrine upon which we stand
Is strong and sound, because its enforcement
is important to our peace and safety as a na-
tion and is essential to the Integrity of our
free institutions and the tranquil maintenance
of our distinctive form of government It was
intended to apply to every stage of our na-
tional life and cannot become obsolete while
our republic endures If the balance of power
is justly a cause for jealous anxiety aiming the
governments of the old world and a subject for
our absolute non-interference, none the less Is
un observance of the Monroe doctrine of vital
concern to our people t,nd their government.
Assuming, therefore, that we may properly
insist upon this doctrine without regard to
the "the stute of things In which we live" or
any dimmed conditions here or elsewhere, it
is ii.it apparent why its application may not bj
invoked in the present controvery. If a Euro-
pean power, by an extension of its boundaries,
takes possession of the territory of one of our
neighboring republics against its will aud in
i. rogition of it-- right • . it is dlffloult to see
why to that extent, such European power
does not thereby attempt to extend Its system

It has been suggosted in the British reply
that we should not seek to apply the Monroe
lot-trine to the present dispute, because It
joes not embody any principle of interna-
tional law which "is founded on the generul
•onsent of nations," and that "no statesman,
however eminent, and no nation, how-
ever powerful, ure competent to insert
into the code of international law a
novel principle which was never recognized
icceptcd by the government of any other
•ountry.' Practically the principle for which
we contend has peculiar, if not exclusive, re-
lation to the Unite 1 states it may not have
been admitted in so many words to the code <.f
international law, but slnci, in In-
ternational counsels every nation Is
•ntitled to the rights belonging to
it. if the enforcement of the Monroe doe-
irlne is something we may justly claim it has

1 tairily and securely as it has if it were speeiil-

United States would resist any such enter-

Monroe adopted a policy which received
the entire sympathy of the English govern-
ment of that date." He further declares:
"Though the language of President Monroe
is directed to tin; attainment of objects
which most Englishmen would agree to be
salutary, it is impossible to admit that they
have been Inscribed by any adequate authority
in the code of international law." Again he
savs: "They (her majesty's government)

Monroe apparently entertained, that any dis-
turbance of the existing territorial distribu-
tion in that hemisphere by any fresh acquis!,

lu the belief that the doctrine for which we
contend was clear aud definite, that it was
founded upon substantial considerations aud
involved our safety and welfare, that It was

versy and without auv conviction as to the

ner whether Great Britain sought under a
claim of boundary to extend her possessions
on this coutlnent without right, or whether
sin* merely sought possession of terri-
tory fairly Included within her lines or
ownership, this government proposed to
the government of Great Britain a resort to
arbitration as the proper means of settling the
question, to the end that a vexatious boundary
dispute between the two contestants might be
determined and our exact standing aud rela-
tion in respect to the controversy might be
made dear It «iii Mnm from the corre-
spondence herewith submitted that this prop-
osition has been declined by the British gov-
ernment upon grounds which, under the cir-
cumstances, seem to me to be far from satis-
factory. It is deeply disappointing that such
un appeal, actuated by the most friendly feel-
ings toward both nations directly concerned,
addressed to the sense of justice uml to the
niaguauimlty of one of the ureal powers of the
world aud touching its relations lo one com-
paratively weak and small, should have pro-
duced no better results.
The course to be pursued by this govern-
ment in view of the present condition does not
appear to admit of serious doubt. Having
labored faithfully for many years to induce
Great Britain lo submit this dispute to Impar-
tial arbitration, and having been now dually
apprised of her refusal to do so. nothing re-
mains but to accept the situation, to recognize
Its plain requirements and to deal with U ac-
cordingly
Great Britain's present proposition has
never thus far been regarded as admissible i>y
Venexuela, though say adjustment of the
boundary which that country in ly deem for
her udvantage and may enter Into for her own
freewill cannot, of course.be objected to by
the United Slates. Assuming.however.that the
attitude of Veneiuela will remain unchanged,
the dispute has reached snob s stage as to
make it now iiicumbeut upon the United States
to take measures to determine with suflletont
certainty for its justification what Is the true
divisional line between the republic of Vene-
zula and British Guiana The Inquiry to that
end should of course be conducted carefully
ami judicially, and due weight should be given
to all available evidence, records and facts In
support of the claims of both parties.

prosecuted In a thorough arid satisfactory
manner. 1 suggest that eongreis make
adequate appropriation for the expenses
of a commission to bo appointed by the
executive, who shall make the neces-
sary Investigation and report upon the
matter with the least possible delay. When
such report is made and accepted, it will,
in my opinion, be the duty of the United States
to resist by every means lu its power as a
willful aggression upon its rights and inter-
ests. the appropriation by Great Britain of
any lands or the exercise of governmental
jurisdiction over any territory which, after
inve .ligation, we have determined of right be-
longing to Venezuela.
In making these commendations, I am fully
alive u> the responsibility incurred and keenly
realize all the consequences that may follow

while It is a grievous tiling to contemplate the
two great English speaking pe iples of the
world as being otherwise than friendly com-
petitors in the onward march of civilization ami
strenuous and worthy rivals In all the arts of
peace, there Is no calamity which a great na-
tion can Invite Which equals that which follows
a supine submission to wrong and injustice
ami the consequent loss of national self respect
ami honor, beneath which Is shielded and de-
fended a people's safety and greatness.

it and then moved to go into executive

purpose was to discuss the Venezuelan
question behind closed doors. At one
