THE TERM JINGOISM HOW IT FIRST ORIGINATED Why it is Used in Connection With a Foreign Policy. The question is frequently asked: "What is the meaning of "Jingo?" There need be no ignorance on the subject, as the dictionary contains the definition. But as is frequently the case, we would rather ask our neighbor, who may perhaps know a little more about the subject than we do for information, than go to the source where we are sure to find it. Funk Wagnall's new dictionary says after the word "Jingo:" of a party in Great Britain in favor of spirited and demonstrative foreign policy; hence, one in any country favoring such a policy." The name was originally applied during the Russo Turkish war of '77 and '7S to a section of the Conservative I'arty, clamorous in urging the Government under Lord Beaeonsfield, to the active support of the Turks. The name is an allusion to a popular song: "We don't want to fight, but by jingo if we do, We've got the ships; we've got the men; We've got the money, too." Said the man: "I have been considerably interested in that strike of street car men in Philadelphia for a certain reason I was looking to see what property was destroyed by the irresponsible mob that always looms up when a strike of this character is in progress, and does the mischief.

The mob usually destroys property and the strikers get the blame. But there is one thing that the people of Philadelphia, those who own property, should consider and they will promptly liscourage any destruction of property. There is a special law, applicable to Philadelphia and Allegheny counties, which savs that iroperty destroyed by a mob in either of these counties must be paid for by the counties, and eonsequently every particle of property destroyed by the irresponsible people in Philadelphia is just that much out of the pockets of the Philadelphia taxpayers. When a man who owns si home realizes that by his en ouraging the mob to destroy property he is piling up a tax on his own home, he is very apt to refrain and want to kick himself for what he has already done. When the city is called upon to pay for the property destroyed, and the additional tax is nlaced on the man's property, then the man does go behind the bouse and does kick himself.

That the city will have to pay is just as certain as night follows day, for the street ear company has already served notice that it proposes to bring suit. Allegheny county I paid out over two millions of dollars for the destruction of property in the riots of 1877." One of the witnesses before the Philadelphia Legislative Lexow Committee yesterday was a woman who swore that her husband's "speak easy" was raided ly thi? police at the instigation of a man who resided near to them and who had a regular liquor license. And she seemed to feel as if she had been treated very badly. Probably the woman dd not know that one of the reasons for passing the high license liquor law was to drive these "speak easies" out of existence. They paid no license, and they were a curse to a community.

By compelling the man who is licensed to pay a large sum for his right to sell liquor it puts him on the for the illegal seller, and he only 'jjtuirds his own interests whe he secures the nrrest of the people who sell liquor without a license. Glad to hear the law is working so well in Philadelphia. Gossip agrees with Speaker Reed that the question before the public now is how to dodge a bicycle. Yesterday on Third street a man who tried to cross at Walnut, was caught between two teams one in front going down and the rear one going up, and just as he was thanking his stars that he had not been killed, and was getting ready to dash across to the pavement, he was confronted by a boy oTi a bicycle who was bearing down on hitti like a cyclone and threatening to knock him galley west. What could the poor man do? He had already started and he could not stop, but by a mighty effort he nianasrpd to slow up until the bicycle got by, tntt it was a close shave, the wheels just nipping ill's boot tips.

The Scranton Board of Trade has taken up the matter of a paid fire department, and will recommend that a complete paid fire department be organized in that city.

The United Press news agency, from which the "Telegraph" receives its news, rendered most excellent service this week and last in reporting the trial of the Raymonds in Philadelphia.

SCHAEFFER'S ANNUAL REPORT He Commends Certain Acts of the LegislatureSome Statistics. Dr. Schaeffer, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, has finished his report for 1S95. He refers in opening to the wisdom of the Legislature in not reducing the appropriation to the public schools, remarking that although the annual amount has reached the magnificent sum of five and one half million dollars it does not cowr one third of the expenditures for public instruction. In the last fifty years the amount annually appropriated to the public schools has risen from two hundred thousand to five and one half million dollars.

Dr. Schaeffer says the Legislature deserves praise for its generous liberality in aiding the higher institutions of learning. He says the act creating the College and University Council and imposing a property qualification as a condition of chartering new institutions with power to confer degrees will check the indefinite multiplication of colleges with nothing to build upon except faith in the future. The act increasing the number of examiners at the State normal schools, he adds, has made it possible to conduct the final examinations at these schools with greater care and thoroughness. Dr.

Schaeffer also commends the act imposing upon the Superintendent of Public Instruction the duty of appointing the committee of examiners for permanent certificates. He says he does not find himself in sympathy with the clamor for uniform examinations throughout the State. The act for the establishment of free public libraries in the several school districts, which allows the directors to levy for the purchase, inprovement and maintenance of a free public library, a tax not exceeding one mill in any one year on the valuation of the property assessed for school purposes, is referred to as one that will result in great good. He says the moral effect of the compulsory school law has been salutary in causing some pupils to attend who would otherwise have absented themselves. Good results may also be expected, he observes, from the recent legislation designed to prevent the spread of contagious diseases and to improve the sanitary condition of the school houses and surroundings.

During the past year 0,472 schools were open ten months. 4,007 nine months, 'and 2,855 during eight months; the remaining 12,014 schools were open between six and eight months. The general features of educational work are discussed by Dr. Schaeffer, who calls attention to the fact that the teachers of Pennsylvania have raised more than eleven hundred dollars to place books on education in the Wick ersham alcove of the State Library. In conclusion the report compliments Deputy Superintendents Houck and Stewart and Financial Clerk Glenn and acknowledges their faithful services.

The children of the State, Dr. Shaeffer adds, owe a debt of the profoundest gratitude to the editors of the leading daily and weekly papers for their assistance in arousing the public to the need of better school houses, longer terms, higher salaries and more efficient instruction. The number of school teachers in the State is schools, male teachers, female teachers, average salary, male teachers, $44 52 per month; female teachers, $38 34; number of pupils, total expenditures, $18,902,051 12. Probably the most significant items in the statistical report are those showing an increase of nearly thirty thousand in the number of pupils, and an increase of over five dollars a month in the monthly salary of female teachers. There has also been an increase of over three hundred thousand dollars in the wages of teachers.

KELP AWAY PROM TROUBLE. The Disturbances In Philadelphia are In the Business Thoroughfares. It is the opinion of those who thoroughly understand the situation in Philadelphia that the people who visit that city from the other sections of the State run a great risk in going to Philadelphia to make purchases while the street car strike is on. There is great danger to women and children, and serious results might ensue in the event of a big riot ou Chestnut street. At 8th and Chestnut and Tenth and Market there have already occured serious disturbances and women and children, to say nothing of the men, have been iu jeopardy.

The best place to buy, where you can buy in perfect safety, is at home, and you can buy to just as good advantage as in Philadelphia and run no risk of being injured by the mob. Spmething Fine. Prof. T. A.

The Heartless Trick a Comedian Played Upon Ills Spouse A well known comedian of couvival disposition not long ago received as a gift from his wife a handsome diamond scarfpin, together with the injunction that when he caught sight of the pin reflected in a mirror behind a bar it would serve to remind him that "some one was waiting at home." The comedian was deeply touched, but it was not long before he fell from grace.

It was 2 clock in the mornipg before he caught the reflection of the pin, and then his conscience smote him. He hastened home, and finding his wife in bed and apparently asleep, he hastily disrobed and turned in without disturbing her. While he was figuring out what kind of a lie he would tell her next morning he became aware that she was really awake, but evidently believed that he had dropped off into a profound slumber. She got out of bed most cautiously, so as not to awaken him, and going to the bureau where he had left his new scarf pin in his cravat, she took the jeweled bauble out and dropped it into a vase on the mantel, all of which he was enabled to perceive by the di'n rays of a gas jet upon the glass of a picture frame. Then the lady came back to bed with caution, and having kept hersejf awake by an effort for some time, she fell into the deep slumber of exhausted nature.

Now it was the eminent comedian's turn, lie gave his wife a good half hour to get soundly to sleep, and then he got out of bed, took the scarfpin out of the vase and put it back iu the cravat, where he had left it before. Then he got back to bed undetected and fell into the refreshing slumber of the just. At 7 o'clock iu the morning he WRS aFOipsed 'by a vigorous shaking and his wife's agitated voice, which said: "Wake up! You've been robbed! Somebody has taken your scarfpin!" "My scarfpin!" said the eminent comedian. "Why, it's in my scarf on the bureau. I remember I left it there last night." "Oh, did you," said she with asperity, as she snatched the scarf from the bureau, 'ook here!" "YeS, there it is," said the eminent comedian, and he turned over and went to sleep again.

He says that ever since then his wile has been subject to occasional relapses into deep thought, when her eyes are fixed upon him with a faraway look, and he knows that she is wondering about her vivid dream of getting up in the night ami dropping his senrfpin in the vase.

Talmagc on the "New Woman." Rev. D. Talmage preached a rousing sermon to nn immense Washington con gregation Sunday evening upon the "New Woman," of whom we hear so much these days. I he sermon was in answer to a request by six young women that he should take the topic, instead ot decrying the new woman, Dr. Talmage takes a very sensible view of the subject and feels very certain that the coining woman will not be essentially different from the best sort of woman iu every ago, and thinks that it is not worth while? to fear that there will be any radical change iu the relations of the sexes.

No one doubts that the woman of the future will do many things that, the woman to day does not do. just as the woman of to day does many things her mother and grandmother never thought of doing. And notwithstanding all that woman has done and is doing, the great majority are quite contented with their position, though she does rejoice that if she must go out into the world she has more avenues for work open to her than tenching and sewing, that life affords her other opportunities beyond that of "old maid aunt."

Swords, of Iowa, sergeant at arms of the Republican National Committee, who is here to select the committee headquarters for convention week, said in discussing the Presidential outlook: "Senator Allison is in no sense a receptive candidate for the nomination, whatever that means. He is an active, aggressive candidate. His campaign will be managed by General James S. Clarkson and Congressman Henderson, of Iowa. Ours will be something of a waiting policy.

Government to compel the Sultan to afford security to the Christians in his empire under effective European guarantees, and urging that military representatives of the powers should be present at the surrender of Zeitoun, which, it is feared, the Turks are preparing to make the occasion for the slaughter of all the inhabitants in that city. Rev.

Joseph Parker, who presides over the city temple, Rev. Dr. John Clifford, the distinguished Baptist divine, and A. Spicer, member of Parliament for the Monmouth district, all made speeches vehemently denouncing the Sultan. A letter was read from Mr.

Gladstone in which he declared that a continuance of the present situation in Turkey would constitute an Irrevocable disgrace for Europe. He did not know, he wrote, who was to blame for the action of the six powers in prostrating themselves before the impotent Sultan; but England was able to cope with half a dozen Turkeys. HIS COLORED WIFE. An Ex Slave Woman Given Her Legal Chicago, Dec. 18.

Judge Brentano rendered a decision to day and ordered the entry of a decree which will make Maria Evans Laurence, an ex slave, the legal widow of Dr. Henry Laurence and a wealthy woman. She is now entitled by order of Court to an interest in her late husband's property which will bring her at least $50,000. Dr. Laurence was a white man, and died in 1801 at bis homo at 3120 Forest avenue.

As soon as Dr. Laurence died Maria Evans, as she is known, put in a claim against his estate on the ground that she was his widow. This claim was disputed by Dr. William J. Laurence, a brother of the deceased, and twenty other heirs.

The defense claimed that Maria Evans was only a servant of the doctor's, but the Court said the evidence of a common law marriage was too strong to controvert. THREW OUT THE PRIEST. Father Slattery Driven from Ills Home ly rarlsnloners Opposed to Mini. Lansing, Dec. 17.

The troubles which have agitated St. Mary's Roman Catholic parish here for the past two years broke out afresh to day, when a number of the parishoners who are opposed to Father Slaftery, Jed by Lawrence Frico, went to the priest's house and threw him out of it bodily Six other priests who had been assisting Father Slattery in devotional exercises were ordered out of the house, and complied. Father Slattery will swear out. warrants for the arrest of his assailants. It is probable that all of them will be excommunicated.

It is said tp day's trouble was precipitated by Father Slattery's refusing communion to the children of several members of the anti Slattery faction. ItlU EXODUS TO THE SOUTH. Thousands Upon Thousands Leaving iie normwm in rrairie acnooners. Cincinnati, Dec. 17.

Two elephants of a consignment of seven which arrived in New York on the Hamburg American liner Persia, fought at sea and but for their keepers might have killed each other. The elephants left Hamburg in charge of William Newman, known in the show business as "Elephant Bill," and another keeper, Pijot, who has tusks, and Albert, who has no tusks, were the only males of the lot.

They are nearly 12 years old and about five and a half feet high. They were placed iu opposite corners of a box stall On the fourth night, during the rolling of the ship, Pilot and Albert succeeded in breaking their chains, and they went at each other savagely. Their heads cracked together with such force that Newman thought their skulls would surely be fractured, The brutes attempted to rise on their hind legs and paw each other. Then they lashed each other ferociously with their trunks. They would back off and butt each other with such force that the shock stunned them for a moment.

Pilot made several efforts to puncture Albert with his tusks, but was not successful. Meanwhilethe other five elephants were grunting and trumpeting, so that the noise could bo heard all over tho ship. Newman and his nsslstnnt belabored the brutes with clubs, but the clubs didn't seem to have the slightest effect on the craniums of the elephants. Two pitchforks were procured. About half a dozen good "digs" with the forks took all the fight out of the two animals and they allowed themselves to be chained in their corners again.

It Made Him Feel Glad. A good many women who are overworked might take a lesson from the course of the "comfortable sort of woman" here described: "It comforts me," said a little bent old man, as he spoke tenderly of his dead wife, "it comforts me to know that Sally would alius lie down every afternoon and sleep a bit. Some folks thought it was a dretful lany habit and 't was no wonder we didn't get rich faster, but she suited me just as she was. Sally was a comfortable sort of a woman to have around, never frettin' at a feller or faultin' him when things didn't go right. When feelin' troubled she'd often say: 'Father, I believe I'll lie down for a few then back she'd come, spry ami chipper as a canary bird.

Satlydidn't drive and scold, but she wasn't lazy an' she brought un the youngsters to do their part. I don see that drivin' women get on one mite better than she did. It does comfort me to know that Sally would take her rest. Troy Times. Fairyland.

A quiet woodland nook, Witin whose shade a mountain brook Wound hither, thither. Loth it seemed To leave tho place. Perhaps it dreamed As I do now 'tivas fairyland, The graceful mountain trout, Watchful, swift gliding In and out, 'Mid roots that in the water grew. Leaped joyful, as if it knew As I do now 'twas fairyland. Soft moss of richest green, More beautiful than silken sheen Of Oriental fabric wove For palace halls, luxuriant strove To cover all my fairyland.

On vines half hid from sight, Arbutus blooms of piuk anr white Were trailed o'er moss and dead brown leaves, Where fragrant ferns on summer eves Caught the soft air of fairyland. A granite rock, huge, gray With running vine and oreamy spray Of wildwood flower a leafy screen And scarlet berried wlntergreen Nearby, was in my fairyland. No sound discordant, shrill Was heard; but from the pine clad hill, Cooing of doves, from grassy leas, Tinkling of bells with brook and trees, Made music sweet in fairyland. To day, in city heat And rush and din of crowded street. My thoughts turn back to days long flown.

I'vearn. faint, weary, home sick grown. For just one hour in fairyland. HERE IT IS. MONROE DOCTRINE IN FULL Together With the Latest News on the Yenezuela England Affair.

James Monroe, Dec. 2, 1823.) "At the proposal of the Russian imperial government, made through the Minister of the Emperor residing here, full power and instructions have been transmitted to the Minister of the United States at St. Petersburg to arrange, by amicable negotiation, the respective rights and interests of the two nations on the northwest coast of this continent. A similar proposal had been made by his Imperial Majesty to the government of Great Britain, which has been acceded to. The government of the United States has been desirous, by this friendly proceeding of manifesting the great value which they have invariably attached to the friendship of the Emperor, and their solicitude to cultivate the best understanding with his government.

In the discussions to which this interest has given rise, and in the arrangements by which they may terminate, the occasion has been judged proper for asserting as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent conditions which they have assumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European power We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable existing relations between the United States and those powers, to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interferd, and shall not interfere. But with the governments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on geat consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power, in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly spirit toward the United States. WHAT IS THOUGHT IN GERMANY. England'.

Isolation la Noted, but AH sorts of Opinions are Expressed Berlin, Dec. 18. A representative of The United Press has had an interview on the subject of President Cleveland's message on the Venezuelan question with a high Government official. He said: "Europe has never acquiesced in the Monroe doctrine. President Cleveland's threatened interference in a quarrel between two other nations is not seriously interpreted here.

Threats will show England the danger of Count Von Kanitz remarked: "The United States seems to be spoiling for a fight. She might get her hands full." Herr Richter, the People's Party leader, said: "I suppose it is an election trick of President Cleveland's. But it is doubtful if England will back down." Herr Von Puttkammer expressed the opinion that "the whole thing looks like an American practical joke." Herr Von Koeller, who recently resigned the portfolio of Prussian Minister of the Interior, made the following statement: "Germany does not see any reason for taking sides in this quarrel," Herr Dohna Schlodien, a member of the Reichstag, said: "It is time to bring about an international definition of the oft quoted Monroe doctrine, and the present occasion may accomplish it." The Vossische Zeitung intimates that: "The President's demands are such as to attract the attention of other Powers besides Great Britain." "Our Friend. Across the Sea." London, Dec. 18.

United States Ambassador Bayard was a guest this evening at the dinner at theActor's Benevolent. Fund, and responded to a toast, Friends Across the Sea." The toast was received standing and with loud cheers, Mr. Bayard was enthusiastically received. He said that they stood on common ground. There was no sea between them.

He thanked God that there were some things that could not be divided. Never was there a judgment that so affected the hearts and minds of men as that rendered when the false and true mother met to decide the fate of a child, and it was proposed that the child be put to death to decide the ownership. It could not be. The heart of humanity rang out when it said: ''Let the child live." It could not be. (Loud cheers.) There were children of brain and heart; there were children born of common ancestry, common language; they could not be permitted to die because of false parentage.

(Cheers.) He was glad to accept and answer for the phrase "Kindred Beyond the Sea." He could answer for his and their kindred beyond the sea. War a Long Way OlT. New York, Dec. 18. Mr.

William C. Whitney has expressed himself emphatically in regard to President Cleveland's message. He says: "It is simply a renewed affirmation of the Monroe It expresses the meaning and purpose of that doctrine. Mr. Cleveland's expression of it is clear, concise and not by any means overstated or intemperate, "1 do not think we need worry about war.

War is a long way off. The simple fact is that we cannot abandon the Monroe doctrine, and that we must make clear our intention to stick to it whenever a foreign power shows an inclination to forget its existence and vitality. "Mr. Cleveland states our side of the case very clearly. We keep tiu bauds out of Europe jind European rows, on condition that EuroH shall keep her hands off this continent.

Without the Monroe doctrine there would be nothing to keep the Eurorean powers from dividing up South America as they have divided up Africa. They would so divide it undoubtedly if allowed." Wbat Poster Says. Washington, Dee, 18, lion. John W. Foster, ex Secretary of State, and an acknowledged authority upon the subject of international law, was asked for an expression of opinion upon the situation as presented at present and in response said: "I recognize the President's exposition of tho Monroe doctrine as a correct statement in its application to the present controversy with Great Britain, and I deem it the duty of every citizen of the United States to support him in his attitude, I do pot, however, regard his course as necessarily leading to war.

I have confidence that the two great English speaking people of tho world will be able to find a peaceful method of adjusting the question honorable alike to both." Congratulations on All Hands. Washington, Dec. 18, An effort made this afternoon to obtain copies of the congratulatory letters and telegrams receiver! by the President resulted in tho following statement from Private Secretary Thurber: "Tho President has received many communications on the subject of bis message, by mail and telegraph. These have been coming since last night, and are still being received. We have telegrams from Maine and California, from Michigan and Louisiana, indeed, from every State and Territory.

In addition to these there have been a number of tenders of service from organizations and individuals." Endorsed by Gov. M'KInley. Columbus, Dec. 19. Governor McKin i ley having been requested by a number 1 of newspapers by wire to express his i views on the President's niessage on the VenezeuUui question, has responded as I fpllows: "Replying to your dispatch of this date touching President Cleveland's Vonezue Inn message, it isin my judgment that the President's firm and dignified state incut of the iidherences of our Govern ment to the Monroe doctrine will com maud the approval of the people of Ohio.

II is message enforces with strength and vigor the position of the United States in its relations with the European powers for more than seventy years. It is American in letter and spirit, and in a calm and dispassionate manner upholds the honor of the nation and insures its security." Mr. Paine Peace. Boston, Dec. IS.

Robert Treat Paine, of the American Peace Society, has sent the following table to Marquis of Salis. i buvy: "Is it posNftlo that Britain prefers war to arbitration? America wants arbitration and peace. Two nations, one people." Wbat tbe Row Is About. The facts are that the territory claimed by Venezuela formerly belonged to Spain, and became Venezuelan territory through a revolt from Spanish authority in 1810. The territory claimed by England is known as British Guiana, and is the same territory which formerly belonged to Holland, and which was ceded to England in 1814.

Therefore it is clear that Venezuela represents the Spanish title and Great Britain the Dutch title to any territory that may be in dispute. The treaty of Muenster in 1648 undertook to define these respective titles. As the settlement was not clear a subsequent treaty between Spain and Holland in 1691 gave the "Orinoco Colonies" to the Spanish and the "Essequibo Colonies" to the Dutch, without, however, defining the boundaries of these colonies. In 1810 Venezuela, having asserted her independence of Spain, assumed jurisdiction over all the territory previously subject to the authority of Spain. On the question of her western boundary she found herself subsequently involved in a controversy with the Independent Republic of Colombia.

This question was submitted to arbitration, and on the decision Venezuela lost a large part of what was supposed to be her territory. To this decision Venezuela gave prompt and honorable acquiescence. On the eastern boundary the claims of England, though decided by a treaty with Holland in 1814, remained without any accurate assertion until 1841. At that time one Robert Sehomburgk, a German naturalist, employed in the survey of British Guiana, drew an arbitrary boundary line defining the limit of the British claim. As this line was drawn in utter disregard of any title that Venezuela might have to the territory it defined, it has no value whatever either as a fact of history or as a point of international law.

It has never been accepted by Venezuela. It is said that it has been repudiated by British Ministries. At all events any determination made without the concurrence and consent of the adjoining power cannot give a valid title. The consent of Venezuela to her boundary is just.s necessary as the consent of Russia or of the United States would be inany similar question. This unfortunately is not the worst of the situation.

The question of a boundary is essentially a question of fact and of history, and as such eminently fit to be settled by impartial arbitration. The suggestion of such a settlement in this case is st by England with an intimation that while she might be ready to accept an arbitration as to any territory which had been omitted in drawing the Sehomburgk line, she should not be asked to consent to an arbitration on any territory within the Sehomburgk line. bat England Will Do. London, Dec. 19.

The Manchester Guardian claims to have knowledge that the Foreign Office will placidly proceed without regard to President Cleveland's message, and the demand for iudemnity for the arrest of members of the British Colonial police will be steadily pressed upon Venezuela, and if neeessnry, enforced by the admiral commanding the West India station. The territory extending to the Schomburg line, the Guardian says, will also be hold against Venezuela or any other Power, while the matter of possession of the territoty bi yond that line will be subnrtted to arbitration, if that can be agreed upon with Venezuela; otherwise, it too will be occupied in the course of time. THE SENATE TO DAY. Itlorgan Wants tbe Commission Bill Referred, but not for Delay. Washington, Dec.

19. The House was not in session to day, having yesterday adjourned till Friday. In the Senate today the House bill appropriating $100, tWK) for the extension of the proposed commission to Venezuela was laid before the Senate and Mr. Morgan Alabama, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, addressed the Senate on the subject. The Senate, he said, in considering a question of such gravity, ought to deliberate as long as was proper and necessary in order to come to an absolutely correct judgment, and he, therefore, favored the reference of the bill to the Committee ou Foreign Relations, but he should object to any such reference unless the Senate agreed that it would take no recess until the committee should make its report, for while he would hasten slowly in the matter, he would still make all necessary speed.

It was a question that was agitating the people of the Uuited States and of the whole world, and delay would give an opportunity for the formation of incorrect opinions that might become very unfortunate. More Battle Sblps. Washington, Dec.19. Mr. Hale (Rep.) Maine, to day introduced in the Senate a bill authorizing the President to have constructed by contract to the lowest responsible bidder six sea going const line steel battle ships, of about il.000 tons displacement.designed to carry the heaviest armor and the most powerful ordnance, and of the highest rate of speed, to cost $4,000,000 each, and for 25 torpedo boats to cost $175,000 each.

Senator Sherman, in a speech following Mr. Morgan, did not disagree with him. He applauded the President for his message, but thought that the Senate should proceed cautiously iu this matter. The bill as passed by the House should be amended, defined and limited. He endorsed tho Monroe doctrine, but its application by this country to a specjfic case was a matter of the gravest importance to the whole civilized world.

The controversy was a serious one, but Mr. Sherman said he believed it would end peacably. The English people would halt, when they perceived that the doctrine of Monroe was also asserted by Canning, when Prime Minister. Mr. Sherman did not think the question nhould be postponed or delayed, but the bill should at least be referred to a proper committee.

Mr. Lodge thought Congress ought not to adjourn for the holidays until the bill was disposed of. Mr. Lodge had no desire to limit the Executive. The House had by an overwhelming majority upheld his hand, the Senate would do the same, but it might desire to strengthen it.

Mr. Voor hees urged that the bill be panned as it came from the House. I look upon war as a horror, he said, but there will be no war. England don't dare to fight; the commerce of the world is in English bottoms, and she does not dare to subject it to peril. It might as well be known now on both sides of the ocean that England's colonization career has to have some limit, and that this country, and it alone, shall dominate the continent.

Ijet the President appoint the commission and tbo work is (lone. Mr. Hawley said it was not wise to assume that a great ieople will not fight, and he regretted the exceedingly warlike tone of the speech of the Senator from Indiana. What the Senate of the United States wanted was the facts, and they could only bo had through a commission. The bill should go to the committee for careful consideration.

The debate on the bill was continued until 2:10 P. when an objection to its second reading to day, made by Mr. Allen Nebraska, the bill went over until to morrow. It will then receive its second reading and a motion to refer to the Committee on Foreign Relations will be in order. The Senate at 2::50 went into Executive session, and at 3:15 adjourned until to morrow.

OI.NKV ON ARMENIA. Tlc American, are Protectcil from Injury. Washington, Dec. 19. The President to day transmitted to Congress a communication from Secretary Olney on the Armenia outrages, in response to the resolution of tin Senate.

Secretary Olney states that the number of citizens of the United States residents iu the Trukish Empire is not accurately known, but there are 172 American missionaries and dependents scattered over Asia Minor, lie Itcars testimony to the energy and promptness displayed by our Minister, Mr. Terrell, in taking measures for protection of Americans, which have received the moral support of the naval vessels of the United Slates. He adds that while the physical safety of the Fnited States citizens seenij. to lie assurred, their property had been destroyed nt Ilarpot and Marash, in the former case to the extent of The Turkish Government had liecn notified that it would be held responsible for the immediate and full satisfaction of all injuries on that score." The loss of American property at. Marash had not been ascertained, but a likedemaud for adequate indemnity would be made as soon as the facts wen known.

The correspondence refers to tin killing of Frank Lenz, the American bicyclist, and states that six persons, "Koords anil Armenians," were to be put on trial for the murder. A great amount of correspondence is also fur nisheil relating to other outrages, in some cases of which the Turkish Government had given satisfactory action and in the other cases a conclusion has not yet been reached. The correspondence accompanying the message to Congress is quite voluminous. A SUNDAY QUIET HOVERS OVER THE QUAKER CITY Strikers Passive And Tie Up Practically Complete. Philadelphia, Dec.

19, The tkird day of the strike of the motormen and conductors of the Union Traction Company opened with the situation unchanged, and with the tie up as complete as was the case yesterday morning whest a car guarded by mounted police and witn officers on the front and rear platforms, ran over the Market street division shortly before 8 o'clock. A car with policemen on the platforms also proceeded down Chestnut street about the same time, neither carried any passengers. With but one or two exceptions no efforts were made during the early morning to run cars on the other divisions. There was no disorder occasioned by the progress of the first cars to day, but the fact that a couple of mounted officers are stationed at many of the principal street corners shows that the authorities are prepared for any emergency. Up to 10 o'clock this morning there was no demonstration by the strikers or their sympathizers, everything being quiet, but th police do not look for a continuance of this state of affairs for any length of time.

An incident in connection, with th strike is the cheerful manner in which thousands of persons walk to and from their places of employment. The appearance of a belated car is invariably the signal for a volley of cat calls to the motormen and conductors. The number of vehicles which have been pressed into service for the transportation of passengers, in lieu of trolley cars, wa largely increased to day, and they included conveyances of almost every description. In addition to this several of the more prominent stores have lines of busses running to the railroad station and to the outlying sections of the city for the benefit of their patrons. The suburban trains of the Pensylvania alld the Philadelphia Reading Railroads continue to carry passengers by the thousands, the crush at the respective depots at morning and night being unprecedented.

Strikers Look to a Conclaslon To Day. At noon there was a partial resumption of street car service on some of the leading thoroughfares, the cars being, as usual, guarded by police officers. Car were run on Market street at intervals of from 15 to 20 minutes, and up to 1 P. M. they had not been molested.

This morning United States Marshal Colesberry took the initiatory steps towards swearing deputy marshals to have charge of the trolley mail cars. The marshal took the names of a number of men who were willing to serve as deputies, but he did not swear them in, his belief being that the emergency had not yet risen to justify him in going that far. At the headquarters of the strikers, officials of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes held an executive session this morning. The result of the meeting could not be learned. When asked as to the report that some concessions had been offered the strikers by the Union Traction Company, provided the employes would forswear membership the association.

National President Mahone said that rumors to that effect had reached him. He intimated that no direct proffer had been made. Hiram W. Lube, one of the strike leaders, to day sent a letter to Postmaster Carr stating that should he (Carr) hear of any blocking of mail cars the committee for the railroad employes will furnish all the men necessary to have them run on schedule time. National President Mahone this morning expressed his confidence that a conclusion of the strike would in all probabilty be reached to day.

Just what this prediction was based upon Mr. Mahone did not state, and inquiries failed to elicit any information on the subject. K. of JU Representative. Washington, Dec.

Minneapolis, Dec.

19. Harry Hay ward's ante mortem statement, dictated to a stenographer the night before his execution, contains his confession of the murder, and also the startling information that he committed three murders before that crime. Hayward stated in hi confession that he never got into trouble until he began to gamble. He tells of the killing in San Francisco in the latter part of of a Chinaman whom he caught cheating him at cards. He struck the Chinaman with a chair and killed him, then buried the body in a hole under the shed.

He never had any trouble about it although the papers reported finding the body. Shortly after Vhis he went to Pasadena, where he became intimate with a girl who had 500 in cash. He took her out riding, shot her and buried the body. She was not very well known and was never missed. Later on, at Elpaso Del Norte, he got mixed up with a girl, and her brother caught them together in Hayward's room.

A fight ensued and Hayward shot the brother. He and the girl had the brother's wound dressed and they made up. Hayward left there and learned that the brother died of blood poisoning from the wound. He was never called to account or it. lie details at length the murder of Catharine Ging, for which murder he was hanged.

The details coincide with the evidence which came out at the trial. The Fastest Mile Enr RlddaB. Cheyenne, Dec. 18.
