Mr.. HALE. Mr.. President this explanation tha. the
Senator has put in of piece with what he has always
said his last speech concede that and suppose he
thought that il sufficiently demonstrated and that there
was not any necessity to refer to it. But in the speech he

to the fact that he considered the aboonss dead
