There vas somewhat amusing passage ut arms
today in the Senate between Mr HALE OF NJ IL
and Mr. FoorE, the irresistible Mr.. FoorE' the
FoorE that knows no rest.
There was an expression in Mr. HaLEs speech
that offended the delicate ear Of M FoorE. lie
"a fastdious almost 10 a fault in bis own language
and becomes excruc ated whenever any other than
choice eD.thet most reG1ed expression hncs eX

guilty Of the strCci0l8 remark that the ffe1llehl
in the recommendation of Minister 70 Rome was
wandering % the passions OF the Roman 1 1thohc
o6,ulation." Mr. Fo0TE pronounced such Ian
suace vulgar and coarse To which Mr. FALk
replied with much energy oi language and 'oiae
warmth Of manner. Mr. FoJTE again Took the
door and explained the use OF the wo-l Vulgar
Iii meant something common, something mostly
used with the people. Mr. HALE accel

told upon the Senate. IL was received with roar,
and Nr Senator CAMERON. IN the way, perhaps 81
an excuse. requested Mr. HALE TO repeat 1t. o.
course Mr.. HALE made no personal application oil
the expression. That would not be Senatorial.
In the cOOIuy Tor such II became through M
international Mr.. HALE bore
himself well and evidently gained Lne sympathy
OF the Senate.
In his argument a. ainst the appointment OF
Minister he said that all tho political advantage oil
the movement in this country was sure 10 enure 20
the benefit Of one man. The Senator from MISS
be said. had called Pope PIus the man OF the
age" But the Senator was strangely iorgeti1l-
lanes X POLK was the man Of the age IT was
IN his politica benefit this mission was 20 rebound
Mr.. HALE loosely said he was not the sole as
pirant present in the Senate for the Presldency-
The Senate contained others as ambitious as ne
though perhaps With prospect OF the indulgence
of their great ambition. He warned them that Mr.
Polk would steal from them for his own purposes
tine whole accrcing benefit OF the scheme Hewas
too cunning for them. He told them they were
PLAYING into his hands-that all the grlst came nto
his hopper. r
yes Mr.. President said he. at the close OF his
speech there are other Presidential asplrants IN
destined to be deprived OF all advantage this move
mont promises IL will be the capital OF Jas n

tiaeuished Senator f,0m Michigan 10 say my

No no said Mr. CAss taken quite unawsres.
The opposite question and naive reply produced
q burst Of uerrinent in which the whole Senate
and audience ioned.
Mr.. CAss bore It very good naturally, aud crossed
over from his seat 70 Mr. Hale and chstted very
pleasantly with him
Upon the whole Mr. HALE lost no srcund by his
conduct, on the contrary, the sympathies OF the
Senate were ardently with him.
Mr. PESDLErcS OF Va it is said hes answered
Mr. BorIs's pamphlet on Whigsism in Virginia
Mr.. Boris will write another, aud Alr PEsDLEToN

Correspondence 81 The Tribune
wAsmNeroS, March -, 1913.
The scene in the Senate 10 day, during the set.
TO between Mr. FooTE Of Miss. and Mr.. HALE of
New Hampshire, was extremely ridiculous To
one who could for while forget the dignity and
decorum Of the Senate of his country it might have
been quite amusing.
Mr FoOrE, during his short career in the Senate,
has apparently tried hard to get into difficulties
with every body. | hardly know Senator Of the
political party opposed to him, that he has not used
language to which will say was not such as was
formerly common in that body Then his manner
is so vain and hippant; his pedantry, his school
boy or freshman display of learning, is so often
sivc to Senators used to the long established deco
rum of that body, that the leading Senators have
come to the determination not 20 notice anything
he says. Several times lie attacked Mr.. CLAYT0H'
when Mr. CLAYTON had very pointedy limited that
he would not notice anything coming rom him
'lother DAY, when Mr. BALDWIN oil Connecticut
had spoken he rose TO abuse Connecticut Mr.
BALDWIN did not notice him. Twice tocay ne
attacked Mr.. BADGER. when he saw that Mr..
BADGER had very clearly refused 70 notice him
So pointed was the refusal that even though
Mr. FooTE attributed TO Nj. BADGER, language
which he had no. used, he would not even
deny IT, till his colleague, Mr.. MANGuN made
the correction, even AFTER this when Ir bADG-
ER replied 20 Mr.. ALLEN, Mr. FOorE went
round 10 SIR. ALLgN AMI begged his permission 20
respond 20 Mr.. BADGER, which he did, though MI
b. did not and would not notice him. A man VINO
thus runs around the Senate begging tor sltpA'
ton where he NAV have achauce ( r iiOut ia the
face from those VINO have po.ntcdly refused 70 no
ticc him, is not a very di5nied exhibition Ia the
l. nited States Senate.
Mr. HALE had remarked that he would vote
against the bin called the deficiency bill, not be
cause it created mission 70 Rome, bat because it
appropriated millions for carrying on this war lie
said that he believed this item 20 send Minister
to Rome was put in to psnder for Roman Catholic
votes Yet as sending peaceful mission to Rome
was so much better than the other parts OF the BILL
which appropriated money for killing the Catholics
in Mexico he thought it quite an improvement, and
hoped others would vote for IT,
Mr. FoOTE sprang up, when Mr. HALE sat down
and said the word pqadcr was always coarse and
vulgar he said that the charge that the Presl-
dent would paAder for the Catholic votes was as
absurd rs il was malignant One may pardon -
nOrance, when unaccompanled by vanity. but any
one who is not as ignorant as presumptuogs might
know that the charge which was thus 90 dogmati
cally repealed IS true. JAMES h. PoLE aud his
friends have eudeayored to pandcr 70 the pfeIudiccs
of all religions We who know the facts know that
while JANIS X. Polk and many Of his friends have
shown that they are bigots ns Ndfircs, have also
eudesyored 70 pandcr for Catholic votes and lear
their pauderug was too succcssiul. w hllo foLN
friends were issuing hnndblls through thcPfoto'taut
parts Of Tennessee la which appeals were made -

master the Pope 10 all who woro opposed 10 tho
