THE AMERICAN POSITION. -
Senate Declaration Extending the Scope of
the Monroe Doctrine.
The United States Senate Committee on
rreiga-Relatioas orderei a report on the
resolution submitted by Mr. Davis, of Min
ui'ota. Chairman of the Sub-Committee.
This resolution noes even further than did
tho President in his message to Congress on
tim Venezuelan question. Omitting the
two whereases, which einiply form n pre
clude tf the more serious utterances ot the
resolution itself, the resolution reaffirms and
onflnns the Monroe doctrine, and declares
-that the United States will assert and main
turn it. It states specifically that this Gov
ernment will regard as an infringement of
this doetrine any attempt on the part of any
European Power to acquire new or addition
al territory on this eontineut or the islands
uijaeent "thereto as dangerous to the
safety tuul the. peace, o the Uaited States.
The United State?, it says, also denies the
right of any European Power to acquire
nay such territory. either by force,
purchase, cession, occupation, pledge, ool
ouizatiou. or protection, whether under un
founded pretensions, of right, 'under the
guise of boundary disputes-, or otherwise,
and declares unmistakably that any such at
tempt will be regarded as a-manifestation of
in unfriendly disposition upon which this
Government cannot look with indifference.
Will Not Permit It.
The Turkish legation at Washington have
friven cut the following official communica
tion : "The imperial government will not
permit any distribution among bis subjects,
-u his territory, by any foreign society or In
dividual?, however respectable the same may
be (as fur instance the Tied Cross Society) bf
money ifoliecfed abroad. Such Interference
no independent government has ever aUoVed,
especially when the collections are made on
tho strength" of speeches delivered upuaLia
meetings by irreconcilable ec'ernieS of thd
Turkish race, and on 'the basis of false abcu
satiocs that' Turkey repudiates. Be-ddes,
the Sublime Porte is mindful of the triio in
i r. -t of its subjects, aud. distinguishing be
t .vei n the real state of things and the
.'-'ihiinnk-s aud wild exaggerations of Interest
ed or fanatical parties, will, as it has done

AN OFFICIAL ENDORSE3IENt
Of The Chicago Southern States Cot
ton Exposition.
Chicago people are the embodiment of
energy and enterprise, and when they un
dertake anything they carry it through with
a rush. Chicago gladly accepted the Hon.
Pat Walsh's suggestion that a cotton States
exposition be held there, and her people are
not losing any opportunity to push the
schemo along as rapidly as posdblth
A letter from Mr. Malcom McNeill con
tains a copy of interesting preamble and
resolutions which have just been adopted by
the city council of Chicago. Mr. McNeill says
that Mayor Swift is heartily In favor of the
movement and that it ha3 tho endorsement
of a great many of the most prominent citi
zens of Chicago.
The preamble and resolutions adopted by
tho aldermen of Chicago are as follows:
Whereas, nearly four-fifths of the cotton
goods used in the United States are of the
annual value of nearly $800,000,000, and are
transported! an average distauco of about
three thousand five hundred miles Irom tho
source of tho raw material to the consumer
of the finished product at a cost for freight
of not less than $1 per 100 weight; and
whereas, every class of cotton goods can be
made in Southern mills much" more cheaply
than elsewhere by reason of cheaper raw ma
terial and labor; and whereas, cotton goods
in the South travel not more tnan 1,000 mleis
from the cotton n -'. ls to the center of pro
duction and consumptiun at an average cost
for freight of not more than 50 cents per
100 pounds: and whereas, tho natural lines
of distribution from Southern cotton fields
and for Southern cotton products are thoso
which go most directly to tho eentres of con
sumption, viz, .those which radiate from the
South to tho Central States, tho Northwest,
West and Southeast, all of which are the nut
ural tributaries of the Southern cotton mills;
and whereas, all the people of thoso Statc-3,
as well as those of tho Northeast, wil1 be
greatly benefited by th3 lessened cost of cot
ton goods which will result from their large
production in the South: Therefore belt
Itesolved, That whatever tends to encour
age the extensive manufacture of cotton
goods in the South is of general benefit to tho
entire people, as tending to reduce both tho
cost of production and distribution, and that
it is of special benefit to tho great cities of
the Central States, which being situated on
the natural and cheapest Hues of distribution
from the South, must, therefore, ; become the
distributing centres for its cotton product.
Resolved, That we on behalf of the city of
Chicago and the people of the .Northwest,
heartily approve of the plan of holding a
Chicago and Southern States exposition for
the purpose of exhibiting the Southern
product of every description and kind and
the manufacturing interests of the South,
and we believe it will be a practical1 method
for proving that the South is the best and
most economieal site for manufacturing cot
ton goods and that Chicago is the best and
most economical centre of distribution, be
cause it can reduce present freight cost about
60 per cent, equal to from 4 to 6 per cent of
the total value of tho goods.
Resolved, That the mayor of Chicago bo,
and is hereby, instructed to send a copy of
these resolutions to the mayor of each prin
cipal city in tho Southern States, and request
the municipal authorities ot such cities to
appoint a delegate to a.conventlon to bo held
in this city on February , for the purpose
of reviewing and revising the preliminary
work of tho various provisional committees
therefor engaged in organizing the Chicago
and Southern States Cotton Exposition, and
said convention shall also be charged with
the work of formal and legal organizing
such exposition, providing for it3 proper
furtherance. The mayor is empowered to
use his discretion as' to the details necessary
to give these resolutions effect. He is re
quested to confer with tho provisional com
mittees in charge of the promotion of the
Chicago and Southern States Cotton Exposi
tion 3 to the date of said convention and
other details upon which their advice may be
proper. All clerical work, printing, etc.,
necessary to carry this resolution into effect
shall be'performod by the said provisional
committee at its own cost.

National Democratic Convention tc
f Be Held Ihere July 7.
DECIDED BY NEW YORK'S Y0TE.
Twenty -nine Ballots Nce?sary rd Make a
Choice The Contestants Were New
Vork City, Chicago, Cincinnati, and it.
1 Louie -The Missouri Metropolis Nearly
Won the Prize.
After a desperate and unprecedented
struggle among Now York, Chicago, St.
Louis and Cincinnati, the National Demo
cratic Committee, in session at Washington,
4ecided that the next Democratic' Conven
tion shall be lield in Chicago on J uly 7. On
file surfaco it was a contest among four
ambitious cities. Under the surface it was a
trial of strength between sound money and
free silver and sound money, won.
The National Committee met in the ban
quet hall of the Arlington Hotel, and this
was elaborately decorated with National
flags, bunting, shields of the States and
Streamers of red, white and blue,
i At 11 a. nj. the National (Committee held a
eacret session. Fifty members were present,
and Chairman Harrity presided. Tho vote
on the date for holding the convention re
sulted'32 to 18 in favor of July 7 as-opposed
June '2. The resolution ot Patrick Col
fins, of Massachuselt?, offered in the conven
tion of 1892. that the nsxt National Conven
tion bo held behind closed doors was reported
adversely by'the sub-committee to whicir it
Vras referred, aud the report was adopted
unanimously. The committee took a recess
until 8 o'clock.
I The committea reconveued at 8 o'clock in
he parlors of the Arlington. The rooms
vere profusely decorated with American
$ag8, and there was a vast throng of visitor?.
Including a few ladies, adsnitted by ticket.
iQuitea number of Democratic Senators and
"almost half the Pwinoaratic membership of
fthe Lower Ilonso were present.
; Chairman Harrity said a roll ot the States
fivould be called 5 to determine which had
fcities desirous of having the Democratic
jponvention. Those which responded, be de
blared, would take thoir turns aiphabnttcal
fy, and would be assigned ono-half hour
ieaoh to present their arguments.
Chicago, Cincinnati, New York and St.
Jouls were duly placed in nomination amid
the cheers of their respective partisans.
HFhirty minutes was allowed each city in
rhich to present its claims.
The balloting began about 6 o'clock, and
from the first a long struggle wa3 indicated.
iThe first ballot resulted: Chicago, 6; Cin
cinnati. 11; St. Louis, 19; New York, 14.
There was practically no change, except a
plight fluctuation of a vote or two, until the
tenth bajlot, when Chicago began gradually
o increase her vote at the expensa of New
York. At the twentieth ballot New York's
Strength was rapidly disintegrating, her vote
going almost bodily to Chicago.
But St. Louis, whlob had clungtenaciously
pto her nlneteon votes, also captured several
pf Cincinnati's votes, and on the ballot be
lore the last led Chicago by one vote. On
Ihe last ballot, the twenty-ninth, which was
ftaken shortly before 11 o'c ock, the four re
'imaining votes of New York were thrown to
iChicago, and she obtained the necessary
plurality. Senator Brice voted for Cincin
nati to the last.
I The detailed vote on the final ballot b
.iStatea was:
I Cincinnati OhlOt
I Chicago Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts. Michigan, Minnesota, Ne
braska, New Hampshire. New York, North

oming. Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
?Ctah, Indian Territory.
I New York had the satisfaction of controll
ing the choice, and it was her votes that sent
the convention to tne city by the lake. . The
final fight between St. Louis and Chicago
was a warm one. An ana ysis of the votes
by States shows thi silver element stood by
St. Louis, while the sound money States
voted for Chicago. .
