Lodge, of Massachusetts, delivered an address which was listened to with by the fenate. Mr. Lodge gave a very interesting sketch of the history of the Monroe doctrine and how it was vitally in-, volved in the boundary line controversy. He followed this "with a brief relation of the pending dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela, which ho said had now reached a crisis affecting most gravely the honor, the intereststhe rights and the well-settled policy of the United States. If England, with no authority but a disputed claim, seized territory and declined arbitration upon it, her action, he declared, did not differ from seizing aud holding new territory in the Amer- teas, By Right of Conquest If feho could seize a claim which had grown larger each succeeding year, there was uothiuir to prevent her takiug indefinite regions in South America.

I he senator referred to the claim made on Venezuela Great liritaiu for reparation op account of the arrest by the authorities former country of British subjects ou the disputed territory. But the Question of reparation, he declared, must not bejmixed np with- the aequi- sitiou of territory. If enezuela'paid JJnuuidemnity fixed and demanded by Great Britain, she acknowledged in so doing that the disputed territory really belonged to the British and thus made the hole case void. We had. he continued, neglected too long our foreign policy and the great interests of the United "States which lay beyond her borders.

We wanted the matter of the boundary dispute settled by arbi tration, because if it is settled jkher-wise, it was a blow to a vital priuci-cipleof the welfare and dignity of the United States. He did not believe hat he people of England had the least desire To Engage In Hostilities with th United States, any more than sought or desired hostilities witn them. "Weh.ive,'1 said Senator Lodge, "seen British forces at Coriuto. We kuow the attitude they assume in Veuezula. They are attempting to take laud ou the Alaskan boundary.

They' have just deuounced the modus Vivendi and reopened in that way the perilous dispute of the seal fisheries. It is not by accident that these events have all occurred or all come to an acute stage within the past year." can itnr- elosetl the belief that questions between England and the United States would be peaceably settled, but it was very clear th.it such settiemeht could only be reached by action ou the part of congress and the president, which should be as firm as it was. temperate, and which shouiit maintain the Monroe doctrine a'-so- bite and at all hazards. wherever it jtisiiy applied.

There is general impression that Russia is one "of the large producers of gold i i the world. This is refuted bj the official figures published by the Kussian government, says an exenange The book about the industries of Russia," published for distribution at the World's fair, tells that the total amount of gold produced iu all the mines of Sibera in 1S91- was T740.2S pounds, valued "at 20,210,500 gold rou bles, winch is equivalent 10 in American gold dollars. This is about the average total gold product, -for the table from which these figures are takeri shows the product to have been about the same every year from 1882 1801.

It is? therefore, very, doubtful whether the Russian govern-juent will ever he able to send a large amount of gold to- the United StVs.

The resolution was as follows: "Resolved, that by injurious legislation by the Fitty-third congress, the revenues of the government were reduced below its necessary expendi-turesand the funds created bylaw for redemption of Uuited States notes invaded to supply such deficiency of revenues; that such a misapplication of the redemption fund is of doubtful le- frulltw Oil I the pub- olution instructing the finance com- nuttee to restore the McKinley duties i uu wi uuj revenue oiu reportea to the senate. ie declared that no in- dustry had receivel such a staggering and deadly legislative blow as that iu- uicteu upon uie wool industry by the j.
