Senator Pomeroy did not desire that the Gov

Cretans were in distress, and they should have
brothers aid TO relieve their sufferngs. A
monitor should be sent there, and the Turks
should be driven from their waters.
Mr.. Rangabee concurred in the views of Sen

Rev. DIR. Samson referred TO the great want
and restitution in that country, and suggested
thai collections be taken up in the various
churches.
Senator Doolttle said the Turks were inter-
lopers, and should be driven from there The
House had passed a bill TO sell the monitors,
and any one could buy them. The Government
could not sell monitors to make war on an
other nation; but, at public sale, they could be
bought by any. The Government would. in
the course of time, become the great arbitrator
to all nations. But that time had not yet come
