Original Monroe Doctrine. , .
London, Feb. , 1. The banquet of the
Non-conformist Unionist association at
the. Hotel Metropole hist night WfjS the oc
casion for an address by the Marquis of
Salisbury, prime minister and secretary of
state for foreign - affairs. In the course of
his remarks he said with reference to Ven
ezuela; "
VI have been held up as the denouncer
of the Monroe doctrine. As a matter pf
fact, although the Monroe doctrine is no
part of international law, my message to
Mr. Olney, the secretary of state of the
United States, supported it 1 as a rule of
policy in the strongest and most distinct '
terms. But when I stated in : that dis
patch, and reiterate now, that,as a rule of
policy, we are the entire advocates of the
Monroe doctrine, we mean the Monroe
doctrine as President Monroe understood
it. In that sense you will not find any
more convinced supporters than we are."
Lord Salisbury then turned abruptly to
the Armenian question, and he reproached
the religious communities with laboring
under a mistake when they supposed that
England had bound herself in honor to
succor the Armenians, which means to go
to war with the sultan in order to force
him to govern the Armenians -vell. The
Berlin treaty, Lord Salisbury said, merely
; bound the signatory powers that if the
sultan promulgated certain' reforms' they
. would watch over the execution of those
reforms. He did not think any one could
interpret that as an undertaking to go to
war. As to the Cyprus convention, Lord
Salisbury continued, it contains no trae3
of an undertaking to interfere in behalf of
the subjects of the sultan. .
"I was concerned in the drafting of both
these conventions," Lord. Salisbury said,
"and nothing would have induced me to
pledge Tny country to such a desperate un
dertaking 'a-: '"' j: 1 y:'-ti-'.: ". ? J
; The speaker reminded his hearers . that
the reforms which the sultan had recently
upon America, and it" had better have
been unspoken. We take leave to tell him
that he is playing w ith lire again, i His
confession of failure with regard to Ar
menia is a inosi ignomiuobs admission." .

In my judgment there is no ground for

faction, driven to the highest point in their
