"The insurrection in Hungary," began the manifesto of April 27. 18 19, "has of late made so much progress that Russia cannot possibly remain inactive.

This proposition must have seemed somewhat broad, even to Canning, for in applying It to the special case of Greece he added that objected, as we have shown, that the revolted states, had no governments to recognize. Divisions and civil war. existed among the Insurgents themselves. Among the Cubans, no such difficulty Is known to exist. The Insurgent Government.

In September, 1S95, as we know by official documents printed on the spot, the insurgent government was regularly organized, a constitution adopted, a president elected, and. In due course, the various branches of administration Bachelor Frederick A. Hoyt Had a Of the Daughters of the Revolution Elect Officers. The annual meeting of 'the Long Island Society of the Daughters of the Revolution was Cield this morning In Wilson's parlors, 153 Plerrepoat street, wit's a fa'ir attendance of members. Reports of the year's work were Very Narrow Escape.

The right itself has been based on various grounds: "Impediments to "burdensome measures of protection and "requests" of one or both parties "to "effusion of blood" and "evils of all "humanity" and the repose of Europe." (Greek treaty of 1S27.) "A warm desire to arrest with the shortest possible delay the disorder and effusion of blood" (protocol of November 4, 1830 in the case of Belgium). "His own safety or the political equilibrium on the frontiers of his empire" (Russian circular of April 27, 1S43, in tho case of Hungary); "to safeguard the interest and honor" and to "maintain the political inllucnce of the intervening power" (French declarations of 1849 '50 lu regard to the states of the church). Finally, in the latest and most considerable, because absolutely unanimous act of all Europe, simply the "desire to regulate" (preamble to the treaity of Berlin In 1878, covering the recognition of Servla, Roumanla, Montenegro WAS OVERCOME BY SMOKE. will, which was at war with another and fairs of foreign states whenever tneir situa done In relation to the republic formed out of Spanish America, But the committee do not think that on this occasion any tardiness Is Justly imputable to the executive.

About three months only have elapsed since the establishment of an Independent government in Texas and It is not unreasonable to wait a short time to see what Its operation will be and especially what it will afford those guarantees which foreign powers have a right to expect before they institute relations with it. Taking this view of the wholo matter, the committee conclude by recommending to the senate the adoption of the following resolution: "Resolved, That the Independence of Texos ought to be nclcnowledKGd by the United States whenever satisfactory Information shall be received that It hns In successful operation a civil government capable of performing the duties and fullllllns the obligations of an Independent power." President Andrew Jackson in his Texas message of December 21, 1836, said: Jackson Lett It to Congress to Decide.

Since then, so far as we are informed, this government has continued to perform its functions undisturbed. On the military side, as we officially know, they have organized, equipped and maintained In the field sufficient forces to baffle the exertions of 200,000 Spanish soldiers. On the civil side, they have organized their system of administration in every province, for, as we know, officially, they "roam at will over at least two thirds of the inland country." Diplomatically they have maintained a regularly accredited representative In the United States for the past year, who has never ceased to ask recognition and to offer all possible Information.

Regent, Mrs. C. Chauncey Parsons: vice re or the political equilibrium on its frontier." As far as is known every other government in the world tacitly acquiesced in the establishment of this precedent. If any government recorded a protest it was that of the United States, but even the United States protested only by inference from the acts and language of the President. Secretary Clayton signed his instructions July 18, 1849, six weeks after the Russian troops had been ordered to enter Hungary.

At that time no other power than England, and Turkey least of all, admitted the necessity of this alternative since the war had then lasted four years without producing it, but what no other power was ready to admit In 1S23 became the accepted law of all Europe In 1861 in a form much more pronounced.

There Is no reason to suppose that any portion of the Cuban people wuld be dissatisfied by our recognizing their representative In this country, or that they disagree in tho earnest wish for that recognition. The same thing could hardly be said of all the countries recog nlzed by Monroe in 1S22.

Greece had no such stability when it was recognized by England, Russia and France. Belgium had nothing of the sort when she was recognized by all tho powers in 1830. Of the states recognized by the treaty of Berlin In 1878 we need hardly say more than that they were the creatures of intervention. Cuban Intervention Simply a Question of Meth od The only question that properly remains tor congress to consider is the mode which should 'be adopted for the stop which congress is pledged next to bake. The government of the United States entertains none but the friendliest feelings for Spain.

Its most anxious wish Ls to avoid even the appearance of an unfriendliness which is wholiy foreign to its thought. For more than a hundred years, amid divergent or clashing interests, and under frequent and severe strains, the two governments have succeeded in avoiding collision, and there is no friendly office which Spain could ask which who Is a light sleeper, was awakened by a strong odor of smoke. She went out Into the hall and found a small blaze but a great deal the independence of Texas should be left to the decision of congress. In this view on the ground of expediency, I am disposed to concur; and do not therefore consider it necessary to express any opinion as to the strict constitutional right of the executive either apart from or in conjunction with the senate over the subject. It is to be presumed that on no future occasion will a dispute arise, as none has heretofore occurred, between the executive and the legislature in the exercise of tho power of recognition.

It will always be considered consistent with the spirit of the constitution and most safe, that it should be exercised when probably leading to war with a previous understanding with that body by whom war can alone be declared and by whom all the provisions for sustaining its perils must be furnished. Its submission to congress, which represents in one of its branches the states of this Union and in the other the people of the United States, where they may be reasonable ground to apprehend so grave a consequence, would certainly afford the fullest satisfaction to our own country and a perfect guarantee to all other nations of the justice and prudence of the measures which might be adopted."

Moore, who promptly went Precedents in North and South America. The American precedents are handled exhaustively. It says that America, both North and South, has always aimed to moderate European intervention and to restrict its exercise. On this point we have the evidence of George Canning in a celebrated speech on the foreign enlistment act In 1S23. "We have spent much time," said Canning, "in teaching other powers the nature of a strict neutrality and generally speaking wo found the most reluctant scholars.

If I wished for a guide In a system of neutrality I should take that laid down by America in the days of the presidency of Washington and the secretaryship of Jefferson." After tracing the uprisings in Mexico, Venezuela, Chili and Argentine Republic against Spanish rule, the report says: The question of intervention began In 1S17. Tho Spanish government appealed to the united powers for Spain. The czar openly took sides with Spain and when in September, 1817, the Spanish government asked permission to build several ships of war in the Russian dockyards, the czar suggested that Spain should buy five ships of the line and three frigates belonging to the Russian navy. This was done and the ships were sent to the seat of war. At the same time, in October, 1817, the Russian government instructed the ambassador In London to press on the British government the great Importance of European intervention.

Get up and save as his single and sufficient authority to justify the step, upon which he and his colleagues In the government had decided, of recognizing the belligerency of the "power or community" which he officially called the "Southern confederacy of America," and which at that time had not a ship at sea or an army on land and which had given as yet no official evidence of war to the British government. Simultaneously the same action was adopted by the government of France, which "concurred entirely int the views of her majesty's government," and whose concurrence, in the absence of protest or objection by any other power, made Russell's view the accepted practice of Europe. Canning's recognition of Greek belligerency in 1825, as well as the joint recognition of "the Southern confederacy of America" in 1861, was only the first step toward an anticipated system of intervention. The Powers' Intervention for Greece. Then Prance joined with England and Russia and the three powers, on July 6, 1S27, united in a formal treaty signed in London, which committed them to armed intervention in case the sultan should still reject their proffered mediation within the space of one month.

ht of Recognition. To some expressions in the instructions the Austrian minister was ordered to take exception. He protested accordingly. Daniel Webster had then become secretary of state and replied to the protest in a paper known as the Hulsemann letter, in which he declared what he believed to be the American policy and the law in regard to new nationalities claiming recognition. "Of course, questions of prudence naturally arise in reference to new states brought by successful revolution into the family of nations, but it is not to be required of neutral powers that they should await the recognition of the new government by the parent state.

WHAT THE FOREIGN PAPERS SAY brothers, who are charged with being accessories to the murder cf the head of the fam ily. The murderer's request was refused and "Penetrated with the necessity of putting an end to the sanguinary contest which, by delivering up the Greek provinces and the isles of the Archipelago to all the disorders of anarchy, produces daily fresh impediments to the commerce of the European states and gives occasion to piracy which not only exposes the subjects of the high contracting parties to considerable losses, but beside render necessary burdensome measures of protection and repression; his majesty, the King of the United Kingdom of Great' Britain and Ireland, and his majesty the King of France he became furious. He tore his bedstead to pieces, threw chairs at the jailer and finally meeting of congress her independence would be speedily recognized by that enlightened body." Until now no further question has been raised in regard to the powers of congress. So much space has been taken by this historical summary that the case of Texas must be passed over without further notice and the cases of Haytl and Santo Domingo may be set aside as governed by peculiar influences. The record shows that in every instance, except Poland, down to 1850, where any people has claimed independence by right of revolt, the right of intervention has been exercised against the will of one or the other party to the dispute.

In every instance the only question that has disturbed the intervening powers has regarded neither the right nor the policy so much as the "time and mode" of action. The only difference between the European and American practice was that the United States aimed at moderating or restricting the extreme license of European intervention and this was the difference which has brought the United States nearly info collision with Europe in 1S61 and 18G2. Lords Palmerston and Russell, as we'll as the Emperor Napoleon and his ministers, entertained broke down the big gate which separated him The English Press on Cleveland vs. from Watkins. The murderer attacked the jailer with a certed and contemporary recognition of Buenos Ayres.

whose de facto independence made that country the natural object of a first step toward the establishment of a general policy. In December he notified both governments that he had patiently awaited ithout interfering in the policy of the allies, but as they had not agreed upon anything and as the fact of the independence of Buenos Ayres appeared established he thought that recognition was necessary. In January, 1S19. he announced to them that he was actually considering the measure Thus all parties had agreed as early as 1S17 and ISIS upon the propriety of intervention between Spain and her colonies. Both the United States and Europe asserted that the time had come: they disagreed only as to the mode.

When Lord Castlereagh at the congress of Aix la Chapelle in October, 1818. proposed to the fcur ether powers "to intervene In the war between Spain and her American colonies by addressing offers of mediation to the two belligerents," Russia energetically opposed and rejected the scheme, not because it was intervention, but apparently because it was mediation and to that piece of the broken beadstead and hammered Europe the same thing has been done by Belgium and Greece. The existence of all these governments was recognized by some of the leading powers of Europe, as well as by the United States, before it was acknowledged by the state from which they had separated themselves. If, therefore, the United States had gone so far as formally to acknowledge the independence of Hungary, although, as the event has proved, it would have been a precipitate step, and one from which no benefit would have resulted to either party, it would not, nevertheless, have been an act against the law of nations, provided they took no part in her contest with Austria." Thus on both sides the right to intervene both for and against the Hungarians seems to have been claimed and not expressly denied by either, and no power appears to have offered even so much opposition as was shown by Presiaent Taylor to the principles or to. the acts of Russia, which settled the course of history.

The fire, after all, did not amount to very much, and the flames were extinguished before they could spread to the upper floors.

The treaty proceeded to bind the three parties to offer their mediation immediately on the basis of the Turkish suzerainty and Greek self government, and in case Turkey should not accept within one month, the proposed mediation, the powers should prevent further hostilities by ordering their squadrons to interpose. The Turkish government, August 30, reiterated its decided, unconditional, final and unchangeable refusal to receive any proposition on behalf of the Greeks.

The officers say that Miss Rollings was 'doing some high kicking at the time and that Henderson made a great deal cf noise when he applauded the young woman. It was evident to the police that tho couple had been drinking and they were locked up in the Vernon avenue police station.

"Mr. Henderson was accompanying me to my home at 1.0G5 Myrtle avenue when we were arrested," said Miss Rollings to Justice GceSting when the case was called In court. "You see I am a concert hall singer and I drink on commission. It was late when we left Maspelh and I lost my way." "What do you mean by saying that you drink on commission?" inquired the magistrate.

Interventions have occurred most conspicuously in Spain, by France, in 1S23; in Portugal, by England, in 1S27: again In Spain and Portugal, in 1836, by England and France, under what was called the quadruple treaty; in Piedmont and Naples by the Holy Alliance in 1S21, and in so many instances since 1S48 that the mere enumeration would be long and difficult; but none of the disturbed countries claimed permanent independence under a form of revolution, unless it were perhaps the states of the church of Rome, which on February S. 1S49, declared the pope to be deposed and set up a provisional government under revolutionary triumvirate. The French executive. Louis Napoleon, gave another direction to the policy of France. He immediately sent a French army to Civita Vecchla, which landed there April 26.

If he waited before carrying it out, it was only because, in the actual balance of European power, he felt that isolated action might injure the cause he had determined to help.

He waited in vain. Neither England nor any other power moved again. After a delay of four years from the time when he began his policy the Greek revolt in Europe and the military successes of Bolivar and Iturbide in America gave the desired opportunity and Monroe sent to congress his celebrated message of March 8. 1S22, recommending the recognition of all the revolted colonies of Spain Mexico, Colombia, Chill and Buenos Ayres. These countries asked no more.

They based their claim on their independence de facto and Monroe admitted its force.

As early as 1825, when the newly recognized states of Colombia and Mexico were supposed to be preparing an expedition to revolutionize Cuba and Porto Rico, the United States government interposed its friendly offices with those governments, to request their forbearance.

The principles thus avowed by Canning added little to the European law of intervention, but the princlpla avowed by Monroe created an entire body of American jurisprudence. As an Isolated act it meant little, but in Monroe's view it was not an isolated act. It was part of a system, altogether new and wholly American. Monroe lost no time in doubts or hesitations. In his annual message of December, 1S23, he anounced the principle (the Monroe doctrine) that the new nations which his act alone had recognized as independent were by that act placed outside of the European system, and that the United States would regard any attempt to extend that system anong them as unfriendly to the United States.

From that day to this the American people have always and unanimously supported and case the United btates would have been obliged, for their own safety, to prevent the island from falling into the hands of a stronger power in Europe. That this emergency did not occur may have been partly due to the energy with which Monroe announced "our rights and our power to prevent It," and his determination to use all the means within his competency "to guard against and forefend it." This right of intervention In matters relating to the external relations of Cuba, asserted and exercised seventy years ago, has been asserted and exercised at every crisis in which the island has been involved.

He said tp the Eagle reporter to day: "I made the usual requisition to the authorities at Washington and they told me to make my own arrangements and use my own judgment, but that I was to do my best to keep the mails clear. We have a reserve force of 100 substitute carriers and I shall probably use them all. Several of them, indeed, are already on duty but the real rush will not come till probably Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I shall probably use this reserve force for two days. It is my intention to open an extra stamp window because the experience of th past has shown us that such a window is needed at a period like Christmas time.

I have seen, during Christmas week, thirty and forty and fifty people in line at one stamp window, and it is my idea, if I can carry it cut, to relieve the holiday congestion and at the samo time keep the ordinary mail entirely cleared." HURT AT A CARD PARTY. There was a fight in the Polish tenement houso at 114 North Sixth street at 4 o'cloclt this morning. A half dozen Poles were playing cards in a room on the second floor and when John Splengleski accused several of his fellow countrymen of concocting a plan to swindle him out cif his money someone suggested throwing Splengleski out of the house. A scuffle fcQlowed and Splengleski and two other Poles rolled from the balcony Into the approved the Monroe doctrine. They needed no reasoning to prove that it was vital to their safety.

The interval of nine months which has elapsed since that action of congress, has proved the necessity of carrying it out to completion. In the words of the President's annual message: "The stability two years' duration has given to the insurrection; the feasibility of Its indefinite prolongation In the nature of things, and as shown by past experiences, the utter and imminent ruin of the island unless the present strife ls speedily composed," are, in our opinion, conclusive evidence that the Inability of Spain to deal successfully with the Insurrection has become manifest, and It is demonstrated ground which his successors have struggled with varying fortune to maintain.

In the case of the recognition of Texas, tho report quotes from a report made June 18, 1836, by Mr. Clay, from the senate committee on foreign relations, which says: "Tho recognition of Texas as an independent power may be made by the United States in various ways; first, by treaty; second, by the passage of a law regulating commercial Intercourse between the two powers; third, by sending a diplomatic agent to Texas with the usual credentials or, lastly, by the executive receiving and accrediting a diplomatic representative from Texas, which would bo a reeogniton as far as the executive only is competent to make it.

YOUNG BAYARD'S APPOINTMENT Ing more than the useless sacrinco or Human life, and the utter destruction of the very subject matter of the conflict. Although tho President appears to have reached a different conclusion from ours, we believe this to be the actual situation of Cuba, and, being unable to see that further delay could lead to any action other than that which the President anticipates, wc agree with the conclusion of the message that, in such case, our obligations to the sovereignty of Spain are "superseded by higher obligations, which we can hardly hesitate to recognize and discharge."
