Atlantic City, N. .T., April 3.-Tlie steamer Brighton, which stranded on this beuch on Monday, has mot with another mishap which may cause her to prove a total loss. While the wrecking tug Merritt was tugging at her to pull her Into the channel the wind velocity increased until It was blowing a small sized gale, and the ocean was stirred into a frenzy. These combinations not only drove the steamer off the inner bar, but cleor across the channel, and she was stranded again on the outer bar near Brigantine. She stuck fast, and while the tug Is still working hard to get her back into the channel little hope of accomplishing this is entertained. Steamer Brighton In a Dad Way. About the same time trouble arose In connection with the republic of Venezuela because of certain wrongs alleged to have been committed and debts overdue by this republic to citizens of various foreign powers, notably England, Germany and Italy. The concern of our government was of course not to Interfere needlessly In any quarrel so far as it did not touch our Interests or our honor and not to lake the attitude of protecting from coercion any power unless we were willing to. espouse the quarrel of that power, but to keep an nttitude of watchful vigilance and see that there was no Infringe-' ment of the Monroe doctrine—no acquirement of territorial rights by a European power at the expense of a weak sister republic.The Constantinople correspondent of the Times says disturbances and conflicts with bloodshed are reported from Kunianovo, near Uskub, and Okhrida, vilayet of Monastlr.

Monterey, Mexico, April 3.—During the celebration here of the victory of the Mexican forces under General Diaz at Puebla April 2, 1867, political capital was made of the affair by the partisans of the various candidates for governor of the state of Nuevo Leon, and n mob of 15,000 citizens formed and inarched to the residence of Governor Reyes and hurled a shower of stones at the governor and shouted, "Death to Reyes!" The |Dolice were sent for, and In the mlxup that ensued in dispersing the mob two' policemen and two citizens were killed and many wounded. ; Both powers assured us In explicit terms thut there was not the slightest Intention on their part to violate the principles of the Monroe doctrine, and this assurance was kept with an honorable good faith which merits full acknowledgment on our part. At the same time the existence of hostilities in a region so near our own borders was fraught with such possibilities of danger In the future that It was obviously no less our duty to ourselves than our duty to humanity to endeavor to put an end to that. Accordingly by an offer of our good services in a spirit of frank friendliness to all the parties concerned, a spirit in which they quickly and cordially responded, we secured a resumption of peace, the contending parties agreeing that the matters which they could not settle among themselves should be referred to The Hague tribunal for settlement.

The president bowed his thanks to Mayor Harrison and Mr. MacVeagh and then proceeded In his peculiarly energetic Wnner to deliver his address. He had some difficulty in beginning, for the reason that the cheers that had greeted his lirst appearance In the hall burst forth with renewed vigor, and it was several minutes before he was able to go on. The address throughout was received with cheers. Several times the president was obliged to pause because of the demonstration which followed some of the points he made. The consul, who was accompanied by a Turkish escort, was on his way to inspect the batteries which finally repulsed the Albanians who attacked Mitrovitza, when the sentry deliberately shot M. Stcherbina in the back, the bullet traversing the renal region and inflicting a serious wound. The sentry also tired at the consular kavass (military courtier), but missed him. The other soldiers of the guard then hurried up and shot the Albanian sentinel, inflicting mortal wounds. Murphy & Joyce. Always Lowest in Pricc. 200, 813, 079 North Main Street. v Phone, Evank Bros.

I wish to apeak to you not merely about the Monroe doctrine, but about our entire position in the western hemisphere, a position so peculiar and predominant that out of it has grown the acccptance of the Monroe doctrine as a cardinal feature of our foreign policy, and in particular I wlah to point out what has been done during the lifetime of the last congress to make good our position In accordance with this historic policy.

I am convinced that the Immense majority of our fellow countrymen so believe in it, but I would infinitely prefer to see us abandon it than to see us put it forward and bluster about it and yet fall to build up the efficient fighting strength which In the last resort can alone make It respected by any; strong foreign power whose interest it may ever happen to be to violate it.

Buffalo, April 3.—Judge Murphy announces that the inquest into the death of Arthur R. l'ennell will be held ut the office of the medical examiner at 3 o'clock next Friday afternoon. Ever since the time when we definitely extended our boundaries westward to the Pacific and southward to the gulf, since the time when the old Spanish and Portuguese colonies to the south of us asserted their Independence. our nation has insisted that because of its primacy in strength among the nations of the western hemisphere it has certain duties and responsibilities which oblige It to take a leading part thereon. We hold that our interests In this hemisphere are greater than those of any European power possibly can be and that our duty to ourselves and to the weaker republics who are our neighbors requires us to see that none of the great military powers from across the seas shall encroach upon the territory of the American republics or acquire control thereover.

Both phones In the last two years, I am happy to say. we have taken long strides In advance as regards our navy. The last congress in addition to smaller vessels provided nine of those formidable fighting ships upon which the real efficiency of any navy in war ultimately depends. It provided, moreover, for the necessary addition of officers and enlisted men to make the ships worth having. Meanwhile the navy department has seen to it that our ships have been constantly exercised at sea with the greajt guns and in maneuvers, so that their efficiency as fighting units, both individually and when acting together, has been steadily Improved. This policy, therefore, not only forbids us to acquiesce In such territorial acquisition, but also causes us to object to the acquirement of a control which would In Its effect be equal to territorial aggrandizement. Thin Is why the United States has steadily believed that the construction of the great isthmian canal, the building of which Is to stand as the greatest material feat of the twentieth century—greater than any similar feat In any preceding century—should bo done by no foreign nation, but by ouVselves. The canal muHt of necessity go through the territory of one of our smaller Ulster republics. We have been scrupulously careful to abstain from perpetrating nny wrong upon any of these republics in this matter. We do not wlah to interfere with their rights In the least, but, while carefully safeguarding them, to build the canal ourselves under provisions which will enable us If necessary to police and protect It and to guarantee Its neutrality, we being the sole guarantor. Our Intention was steadfast. We desired action token so that the canal could always be used by us in time of peace and war alike and In time of war could never be used to our detriment by any nation which was hostile to us. Such action by the circumstances surrounding it was necessarily for the beneflt and not the detriment ox the adjacent American republics. German Ambassador Entertained. 0)rury's PRICES.

Main St. Remember that all of this Is necessary. A warship is a huge bit of mechanism, well nigh as delicate and complicated as It la formidable. It takes years to build It. It takes years to teach the officers and men how to handle it to good advantage. It is an absolute Impossibility to improvise a navy at the outset of war. No recent war between any two. nations has lasted as long as it takes to build a battleship. and It is Just as impossible to improvise the officers or the crews as to improvise the navy. The navy which so quickly decided in our favor the war in 1898 had been built and made effictent during the preceding fifteen years. The ships that triumphed ofT Manila and Santiago had been built under previous administrations with money appropriated by previous congresses. The officers and the men did their duty so well because they had already been trained to It by long sea service. All honor to the gallant officers and gallant men who actually did the fighting, but remember, too, to honor the public men, the shipwrights and- steel workers, the owners of the shipyards and armor plants, to whose united foresight and exertion we owe It that In 1898 we had craft so good, guns so excellent and American seamen of so high a type in the conning towers, in the gun turrets and in the engine rooms. It is too late to prepare for war when war has come, and If we only prepare sufficiently no war will ever come. We wish a powerful and efficient navy not for purposes of war' but as tjie surest guarantee of peace. If we have such a navy—if we keep on building it up—we may rest assured that there Is but the smallest chance that trouble will ever come to this nation, and we may likewise rest assured that no foreign power will ever quarrel with us about the Monroe doctrine.
