JINGO PAPERS CAUSE GREAT CLAMOR Demand for Application of the Monroe Dootrine Louder Than Warranted, MR. BAYARD PRAISED AS A DIPLOMAT His Recent Utterance Quoted as the Essence of Modern Diplomacy. GENERAL GLANCE AT EUROPEAN AFFAIRS rri n Fallure— Between France One-Sided Work. emu —Salixbury’ prefgn NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—(Special Telegram.) —With the Venezuela question still unset- tled, we scem likely enough to be confronted with a Trinidad question, and in both cases are to be called on, if some classes of Amerlcans nave their way, to enforce the Monrce doctrine as against England, and perhaps in the Guiana case as against France also. It behooves us therefore to see where we are and what the facts are. There is as yet no clear information about the Trinidad business. England herself does not seem very clear about it, and Brazil is toqmueh in anger to be clear. Tie island may or may not have been subject to resent British occupation. It is conceded that at one time it belonged to Great Britain, and at another time to Portugal, under which latter power Brazil claims it. Whose title Is latest or best is disputed. When England re- sumed her occupation of it, it was with a view to making it a cable station, and she seems to have had no doubt about her rights. Brazil's rather passionate projest, the popu- lar excitement in the streets of Rio, and che violent speeches in the Brazillan Chamber came upon her as a surprise, All that can be sald Is that the matter i& under negotia- tion. Trinidad fs itself an Insignificant, rocky island in the south Atlantic ocean, ten de- grees east of Brazil. Lippincott's Gazeteer sets It down as belonging to Brazil, and so does the last’ edition of Chambers Encyclo- pedia. On the latest English map I have it i8 not colored red, as all British possessions are colored, perhaps because it is not big enough, It is only a dot in the expanse of Eea. WHAT MIGHT BE INVOLVED. It Is assumed in the §ingo press that—I quate from one leading jingo journal in New York—“it Brazil should appeal to our go ernmient and showld be able clearly to show her ownership of Trinidad, the case would cortainly Involve the Monroe dootrine “Certainly” is a strong word. The Monroe doctrine in its original and authentic form is a little vague and not a little elastie. The Monroe doctrine, as interpreted by Governor Campbell,at Tammany Hall on the Fourth of July, Is one which no civilized government, least of all ours, would care to adopt. There 18 no use in dogmatizing on such subjects, or laying down a prior view with reference to a case of wulch the facts are not yet ascer- talned. Our minister at Rio is said to be in frequent communication with the Brazillan foreign office, but nothing is known of his instructions. The State department at Wash- ington declines to express its views publicly on the action of England, if it has any views, and rightly declines. It is not the duty of a secretary or department dealing with delicate International affairs to take the public press into its confidence. Mr. Bayard, our ambassador to the court of St. James, has, perhaps, been less reticent. He is reported as having said that he had no official knowl- edge of the alleged seizure of the island, but understood that it was wanted for a cable station, and thought it just as well that the island should be of some use to some- body. Thereupon he is attacked in the jingo press of America as if he had committed a blazing Indiscretion. BAYARD'S BREAK CONDONED. Well, it is probably always better in all circumstances that an ambassador should be dumb. Mr. Bayard's offense, however, if offense there be, is not what is imputed to him. He has rot been talking to an English, but to an American Interviewer, and what he said was sald for publication here and not there. His Jingo critics take no note of that distinction, which, nevertheless, 18 important. Nor is there anything in the remarks attributed to Mr. Bayard to justify the accusation of a leading New York jour- nal that he has endorsed England, offended Brazil and compromised the United States. 1 cannot see that he has done any one of these three things. Mr. Bayard's views of his duties as ambas- sador are well known, and he has just re- stated them, or part of them, in language which does him credit. “In my opinion,” said Mr. Bayard, speak- ing at a dinner given in his honor on Friday by the municipal authorities of Boston “in England, “the best diplomacy consists in per- fect frankness and in the preventing or re- moving of misunderstandings.” That, of course, will not please the fire- brands who cdnceive that we send ambassa- dors to England in order to make trouble, to foment disputes and to breed ill-feeling be- tween the two countrles. It is nevertheless the true view of diplomacy, the view accepted abroad, and the only view by which Inter- national comity can be promoted or peace secured. It Is perfectly consistent with the Qigaity of the United States or of any other country. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador at Washington, would say the same thing and act on the same theory. Those %ho take a different view must be prepared to own that they want not peace, but war, and that we send an ambassador abroad in order to bring about a war. Who will ven- ture to say that? FERDINAND'S PLAN FAILED, The great crime at Sofla seems likely to fail of its end. Prince Ferdinand aMowed Stambuloft to be assassinatgd in the hope that Russis, grateful for the taking off of the champion of Bulgfrian Independence, would recognize his murderer as the lawful ruler of the principality, He forgot that tools once used and useful no longer are flung away. The news from Petersburg is that Prince Ferdinand is still regarded an usurper and that Russia will recognize no- body who does not come to the throne of Bulgaria as her nominee and Instrument. This is what she means when she says that he must come in accord with the provisions of the treaty of Berlin, Her consent is requi- site under that treaty, and she will give her consent to nobody Who will not, An effect it ©ot in form, place Bulgaria once more under Russlan control. Prince Ferdinand's inex- plable fault B e caar's eyea s that be pot European | was intendea presumed to accept the throne against Rus- sia’s will. No subsequent subservience can atone for that, WHAT WAS THE UNDERSTANDING? The Interesting interviews and articles pub- lisked by the Paris Herald and Paris Figaro have not quite cleared up the mystery of the Franco-Russian alllance, it alliance there be. The Figaro frankly admits that its efforts to get hold either of the treaty or of any suf- ficlent documentary evidence as to the na- ture of the understanding between France and Russia have falled. The Russian dig- nitary interviewed by the Herald, on the other hand, proved rather too much. The energy of these two journals has provided us with some columns of very entertaining narrative and dialogue, but the real secrets diplomacy are too Jealously guarded to be often penctrable by the most enterprising journalism. The fact that the French forelgn minister, M. Hanotaux, In a speech in the Chamber of Deputies used the word alliance s the the strongest fact we yet have to go upon. The joint action of France and Russia in the east is undoubtedly the result of a speaial agree- ment for that purpose. How otherwise could Germany have joined In it? Or how could an agreement made, as the agreement be- tween France and Russia Is alleged to have been made, long before the war broke out in the far east have covered the resulting contingencies of that extraordinary conflict? It is Inconcelvable, or if not inconvelvable it is contrary to everything we know of and everything that has been conjectured as to the relations between France and Russia since the festivities of Cronstadt RECIPROCAL ONE WAY ONLY. 1t is, to adopt a French phrase to politics, France who loves and Russia who her embrace. It France who the ald of Russia In every emergency when Russia asks her co-operation. It is Russia who reserves the right to judge for herself in what circumstance she will side with France. 1f this be not a correct understanding between them, it Is at least the which every European statesman believes to be correct. It is the view of all the best informed and most impartial journals of Burope. The attitude of the Russian press toward France, though friendly, remains in- dependent. The attitude of the French pr to Russia can only be described by the word abject. It is painful to re for ex- ample, the comments of Paris journals on the murder of Stambuloff. Assassination is extenuated because it Is thought to be con- venient to Russia that Stambuloff should be out of the way. The French, again, have sworn many oaths that nothing should induce them to be found in the same boat with Germany. Russia lifts her finger, and lo, It is Germany with whom France Is s marching hand in hand in the east. FRENCH ENCROACHMENT IN SIAM. And the end Is not yet. Eastern com- plications may yet set all Europe aflame. The published accounts of treaties, when not official, are always to be recelved with caution, but It s positively asserted that France has con- ded a treaty with China by which China des to France that territory east of the Mekong river which has been regarded as a buffer state between England and France, Lord Salisbury s sald to have protested. The district in question was ceded by England to China, and Chinese claims to it were recognized for certain purposes only. It she ceased to use it for those purposes it reverted to England. In short, China has agreed to hand over to Frante territory which is not hers to dispose of. Here Is one more burning question in the east. There were already as many as either England or Frapce had any use for. The French en- croachments upon Siam could never have been carried out had England known what or had she been on the alert when the French fleet went to Bangkok. It Is too late to protest against what has been done. Lord Salisbury’s protest is against the further annexations which France med- Itates—annexations In fact of territory on which England has a first mortgage, WORK AHEAD FOR SALISBURY. Lord Salisbury has his work cut out him as forelgn minister, for not only in Asla, but in Africa, in Europe, possibly in America, he has to deal with diplomatic problems of no slight difficulty. He will draw nearer to Italy, as he did before, and nearer to Germany, and the league of peace in Europe which goes by the name of Triple Alliance will find him, «© say the least, a benevolent neutral. What he and his party will do in domestic affairs is yet to be seen. It they will do as little as possible they will satisfy the country for the present. A note of war has already been heard from Ireland. Mr. Healy proclaims through his organ, the Irish Catholic, that the compact limiting the extent to which Irish national rights shall be urged is demolished by th> conservative victory. The conservatives never had anything to do with such a compact, If it existed, but if Mr. Healy wishes to do the unionist government a service he has only to come out openly for repeal. GEORGE W.

(Copyright, 1895, by Press Publishing Company.) LONDON, Aug. 8.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—A story comes to me, which would seem preposterous ex- cept for its apparently unimpeachable au- thority, that a number of wealthy Spaniards have addressed a serious communication to prominent and rich Catholics in France, Aus- tria and England, proposing to raise a fund to purchase Rome from Italy, and thus free the pope from his imprisonment, albeit vol- untary, and make him again a temporal ruler, Italy’s almost utterly bankrupt condition Is quoted as a reason for the belief that the government would accept the proposition. The scheme seems wild enough, were it not that Italy’s condition is now one of the most { alarming elements in the European situ land is rapidly driving her helple: ridden people toward anarchy. Cardinal Gibbons received your Paris cor- respondent at Issy just before leaving France | on his homeward journey. He was very busy, but said: “I could not refuse representative of the World.” TIRED BUT PLEASED. “I am tired, as for months I have had no rest, mental or physical, but everywhere I have been treated with the greatest Kindness The consideration shown me has been won- | derful, both by Italy and France. What | charming people the French How little | Americans who visit Paris see of them, how little they understand them! In order to see the French as they really are one must live at Paris and go into the provinces. I have just returned from a visit to the arch- bishop of Rheims. With him and his clergy I went all over the diocese, mingling with the people, getting an inside view of things. And the church in France? The French church is very strong, but it seems to me that somehow or other the church has in | this country got out of touch with the peo- ple, and what is worse, it manifests little disposition to get into touch with them, The French church is hierarchical rather than democratic. It has been so long accustomed to rule, to be looked up to with reverence and respect that it finds it difficult now to come down from its aristocratic position to enter the democratic arena and keep abreast of the times. Here and there are men alive to the situation, but the mass remain inert.” “You are doubtless aware the greatest in- terest has been taken in your recent visit to Rome, and that numberless speculations have been made as to its object?” SIMPLY TO SEE THE POPE “Most of the press rumors have been ut terly wide of the nfhrk, but I make it a rule never to correct misstatements. The best is to let the ill-founded rumors deny themsel The truth in this particular instance is-very simple. I went to Rome on a visit to the holy father, who had expressed a desire to see me. My visit was ad limina, in ecclesiastical language, that Is, devoid of official signifi . I was recelved several times by the pope and we discussed many topics. What passed between us Is, of course a private matter and cannot be divulged. The pope is deeply interested in the progress of the church in America and wishes to be kept -informed with regard to all phases of its developments.” “And what impression did the pope make upon you? “The feature that impressed me most strongly was his extraordinary mental vigor, that he, burled in the Vatican, knows all, understands all. No detail escapes him. And this is truly remarkable for one in his 86th year. He is abreast of, not in advance of, the times and as keenly alive to the im- portance of current events as the youngest of those around him. Besides, he is a pro- gressist. The spirit breathed by his later encyclicals is the spirit of the man himself Physically he is not robust. His face is as white as yonder wall. His checks are transparent, yet through the fleshly veil an indomitable spirit shir The quickness of his intelligence marvelous. He, better than any other, understands that the watch- word of the church must be progress, reaction, energy, not apathy.” PROGRESS WILL NOT STOP. “But when the pope disappears, is there no likelihood of reaction?” “I think not. Progress demands a steady forward movement, and the Catholic church vcannot go back. The advance of the last few years will not have been futile. The of the pope will not be lost.” “And the effect of your visit to Rome upon the American church?” “We in America shall continue to work quietly and steadily as heretofore. We are making progress and are perfecting our or- ganization. Naturally the fact of being close in touch with the head of the church cannot fail to render our task lighter nor to incrase our zeal.” He ended the interview with these words *Good bye, my child. I much regret not to be able to give you more time, but my lelsure moments are few and my duties are press- ing IRISH PARTY CALLED TO MEET.

(Copyrighted 1836 by the Assoclated Press.) SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 3.—The princs and princess of Wales and the duke of York ar- rived here today and opened the new Graving dock, said to be the largest dry dock in the world and to be able to accommodate the largest ship afloat. Torrents of rain, how- ever, spoiled the decorations and thoroughly dampened the enthusiasm of the large crowds present. For years the work of dock extension here has been quietly but steadily going forward and now the Hampshire town within eight miles of London has a dock area of enormous extent. Already the great American liners, as well as the largest war vessels have been able to warp alongside the mpress dock, and now large vessels will be able to land their passengers in London within two hours of their arrival here. By this large addition to docking facilities of Southampton the larg- est can be and repaired here, he Graving dock just ately alongside the berths of the Parls, New York and St. Louls. Its capacity is over 73,000 tons and its maximum depth is thirty- five feet. Its width is eighty-seven and one half feet and the pumping engtnes for empty- ing it are the most powerful known. The guaranteed time for empiying the dock is two hours and fifteen minutes, which necessi- tates delivering 540 tons of water per min ute. Although the new deck is open, yet ready for use, as one of the big pumps is damaged and must be repaired before a large vessel can be accommedated. It originally intended to dock the New York of the American line today, but the damage to the discharge pump has necessitated sending the New York to Tilbury, opposite Gravesend. The town and docks were gally des ated for the occasion with flags and bunting, but when (I‘n» speclal trains from London and elsewhere, with the inwited guests arrived, the scene was one of damp desolation every- thing being deluged by rain. Alongside the Graving dock a sumptuols lunehi had been pre- pared in one of the dock houses, covers being laid for 400 persons, and on the edges of the dock stands had been erected, from which the visitiors viewed, as best they could in the rain, the opening ceremony, which was performed by ‘the prince of Wales. His al highness, accompanied by the princess of Wales, his two daughters and the duke of York, came over from Cowes i the rogal yacht Osborne, and at 1:30 p. m. the prin press:d the lever by which the sluice gates of the dock were set going.

(Copyrighted, 18 LONDON by the Associnted Press) Aug. 3.—With the end of Good- wood week yesters is looking forward to Cowes, where the great regattas commence on Monday and where' the usual bright will continue until the end of next week. An unpleasant incident is reported in con- nection with the Goodwood racing which, if true, does not redound to the credit of an English sporting prince, It is said that there is little doubt that Baron de Hirsch scraiched Reminder for the Manchester cup in order to allow the prince of Wales' Flori- sel 11 to win, but it is supposed that the prince of Wales was no party to the arrange- ment. However, it is asserted that the prince of Wales, at the beginning of the week, intimated to Captain Mact®ll, the owner of Ravensbury, that he was especially desirous of winning the Goodwood cup with “lortsel II. It is added that Ravensbury, which was the favorite for that event, was thereupon scratehed, and Florisel won easily from Lord Penchyn's Thesalian, which horse was only put in to make a race, there being only two runners. A conservative paper drew attention to this rumor and then the radical Sun of this vity took up the mat- ter, saying that the report was persistently made at Newmarket, and adding: “If the prince is correctly represented it would ap- pear that he temporarily lost his head and was unable to obtain a full gresp of the nature of the consequences of this acticn. It is to be hoped, for the sake of the repu- tation of the turf and of the prince as a sportsman and gentleman, that the rumor will be authoritatively denied and that Ravensbury will be seen at the post.” Japtain Mackell then came’ out with a denial of the story, and the prince of Wales also heard the rumor, and it was declared gatherings news- | that he was greatly upset and told a friend it was almost enough to make him sell all his horses. The prince of Wales' friends explained the origin of the report by the fact that the prince asked Captain Machell it he intended to run Ravensbury for the Goodwaod cup,” and if so Florisél 1L would not start, as the tolt would need too stiff a training. Captain Machell is said ,to_have replied that he had no intention of stfing Ravens- bury. The excuse is very plausible and the opinion is expressed in some quarters that the prince of Wales' simple question may bave influenced Captain Machell not to run his horse for the Goodwood cup CORNELL AFFAIR NOT FORGOTTE! The Corneli-Leander affair is not yet for- gotten here, and the Denver Tir com- ments on the cause of the collapse of the Cornell crew ere published in the news- papers. Vanly Fair, referring to the ad- verse cabled opinions of the Americans, sa. “It would really be better to realize once for all that there is some peculiarity about the institutions or the citizens of the United States of America, which, unfor- tunately, renders them incapable of what we call sportsmanlike feeling, that is, the desire to win on one's merits and without the determination to have 60 per cent the best beforehand of any contest. Nobody who reads the American comnfents on yacht- ing and on Vigilant's defeats Jast season will suppose that if Valkyrie IL wins the cup any American or American newspaper will allow that Watson's machine has beaten Herreshoft’s machine fairly on its merits.” These remarks of Vanity Fair become amus- ing when placed beside the rumors circulated about the prince of ‘Wales and the Goodwood cup. A The queen will give two state banquets in the Indian rocm at Osborne, in honor of Em- peror William of Germany, who will also be entertained by the prince of Wales on board the royal yacht Osborne. For these entel talnments a large quantity of the crown plate has been seut to Osborne from Windsor.

The result is that the Asso. ciated press is once more authorized to deny these reports, which are nothing more than the invention of sensation mongers. It is true there has been some little difficulty re- gardig the formation of the London Athleti¢ club's team, but there has never been any question raised which would in any way suggest that the English athletes intended to withdraw from thelr engagement to meet the Americans. The only difference of opiu- fon was one which prevailed respecting the men to be selected. The home membery objected to men such as the Irish athletes being Included, contending that the members of the London Athletic club teams bad bee Eoglishmen and of the same social status.

An extraordinary scandal has just come to light in connection with Russia and the Bering sea patrol. About the middle of last winter a firm of fur brokers in Hamburg received 4,000 beautiful sealskins, with in- structions to forward them to London in time for the big February sale which oc- curs there every year. It was noticed that the packages did not bear the usual marks or other indications of their having been sent through the ordinary channels, and what also struck people as pecullar was that not one of the skins had a bullet hole in it. It Is now reported’ on good authority that these skins were sant by the officer of the Russian war ship which left Robbins’ landing last September, and it is presumed that the enterprise was the private speculation of those who were sent there to protect the seals. The Russians were encamped on the island for four or five months, and, as is customary, wer allowed to land on the island during their stay there. It is pr sumed that the crew emplgyed its time in clubbing seals. The skins were sold at Lampson’s big sale here last February. Most of the members of Augustin company sall for home today. The season at the London theater has not been a thor- oughly successful one from a pecuniary point of view, and much surprise has been ex- pressed that Mr. Daly should have waited until o late in the season befgre bring- ing his popular company to London. This is explained by the fact that an arrange- ment made with ilenry E. Abbey gave the best weeks of the summer to Sarah Bern- hardt, It is stated that by the terms of this arrangement Mr. Daly secured a high: than has before been paid for London theater during a corresponding length of time. George du Maurier is most the forthcoming production of Trilby, which is now booked for presentation at the Hay- market during the secqid week in October. Beerbohm Tree is having much trouble in securing an ideal cast for the play. It stated that overtures have been made to Dorothy Drew to appear in the principal role. Lionel Brough will undertake the part of the Laird, and Tree will appear as Svengall. It is promised that some novel scenic effects will be introducsd, which will tend to enhance the main motive of the play, merely mesmerisn During the been quietly resting after forts which for the past been necessitated by the at the Lyceum theat of the great actor to appear mostly in Shakespearan roles during his coming American tour leaving the more popular characterizations for matinees andgeff-night performances.

During Wyndha vacation the house will be occu- pled by a company neaded by Clssy uranam, who will produce the musical piece by Messrs. Owen Hall and James Tanner, called “All Aboard,” which has been very success- tul in the provinces. Gzorge Ringgold, who will be remembered in America for his spectacular production of Henry V. several years ago, and who now is a successful Australlan manager, has pur- chased the Austrailan rights of the new play which Hadden Chambers will shortly pro- duce at the Adelphi.

One was the commencement of a campaign against the chancellor, Priuce Hohenlohe, and the other was the affront offered the latter by the Austrian premier, Count Goluchowsky, and the consequent estrangement of the leads ing statesmen of the allled powers. The Goluchowsky-Hohenlohe affair is being cares fully cloaked offictally in Berlin, as weil as {n Vienna, and as a result the Austrian pre= mier's motives for offending the ancellor have not been learned }]' ars that Prince Hohenlohe, soon after are riving at Ausse, had an audience with Eme r Franz Josef, and according to an under= | standing arrived at with the emperor, Prince Hohenlohe wrote a friendly letter to his new olleaguz, Count Goluchuwsky, who was at Ischt, near by, asking for a long and cons fidential conference, and inviting him to his |estate at Ausse. The Austiian premier rés | Plied, telling Prince Hohenlohe that he would {be glad to see him later in Vienna, hundreds { ot miles off. The chancellor felt that Count ! Goluchowsky's response insult and did not make any The conference, | therefore, did not occur, as when Count oluchowsky, after an interview with the Austrain emperor, tried to make amends for his rudeness by seading a courier to Ausse announcing his coming, Prince Hohenlolio {replied that he was going hunting and could |not see the count. There is much conjecture in political circlos as to whether this une pleasant incident will have the effect of dise turbing the cordial relations between the two cabinets. ATTACKS ON HOHENLOHE, The attacks upon Prince Hohenlote, aftep a series of innuendos and reproaches, espes clally from the agrarian and radical pri have been simultaneously Inaugurated in carnest by the leading conservative organ, the Kreuz Zeitung, and by the freisinnige party mouthplece, the Vossische Zaltung. The latter has devoted several columns to shows ing that Prince Hohenlohe is not reliable im bis promises, unstable in his policy and con= victions, and therefore quite unfitted for the post which he occuples. The Kreuz Zeltung, on the other hand, has bluntly blamed Prince Hohenlohe for the desperate condition of husbandry and for the fact the government could not, without giving guarantees for ful= filling its promises, have made a count of a majority in efther the Diet or the Relchstag. These attacks are construed as be'ng the bes ginning of a bitter war on the chanc lor. The situation is similar to that of a year ago. when Von Caprivi was hunted down A petition signed by Mr. William Waldorg Astor, United States Consul Mr, Simon Stern of New Louis Stern and others, has been presented to the Ba= varian government at Munich, asking thak justice be done in the case of Mr. Louls Stern, who has been arrested for understaling his son's age in order to avoid the payment of & tax, and that the court at Kissengen expedite a fiearing. In the absence of the United States ambassador at Berlin, Hon. Theodors Runyon, Mr. John B. Jackson, the sccretary of the United States legation, has secured the active co-operation of Count Lechenfeld, the Bavarlan minister at Beriin. Mr, Stern, who has been bailed in the sum of 80,000 mark is now traveling elsewhere with his fam! pending his appearance before tne court at Kissengen, * The German exports for the past six months #how an Increase of 165,000,000 marks, come pared with the same period of 1894.

Hauil storms destroyed the crops around Metz, in the Mo sell, in the Rhine valley and in the districk of Bautzen, Saxony, and hurricancs devasge tated the fields and demolished houses aboul Heidelberg. The greatest damage, ‘owever, was caused in the valley of the Danube, In Bavaria, the village of Geyse! ing was ene tirely destroyed, There was much loss of life, also. Six persons were killed in the Chine provinces alone. i The emperor has spent a week at his fa= orite pastime, reviewing and exercising troops on the Doberitz field, the new mae neuvering ground for the guards, which cosk 7,000,000 marks.
