dressed the Senate in opposition to the reso-
luton. He wished for more information on
the subject. He had no sympathy with
dynamiters, but would not vote for resolu

expression of sympathy with Irelande
enemies. It was known here that
there was war absolute between Eng
laid and Ireland, so far as Irish
xu1f Ant

Senate bad not sufficient information up1u
which TO base action of this kiHd. The body
was asked to vote in way which would b.
interpreted to sympathize with England and
against Ireland.
Senator Hoar said the Senator from Vir
einia seemed to treat the occurrence in Lon
don as If il were warfare adopted by the
Irish people against England. He (Hoar)
bad among his constituents many persons OF
Irish decentralization brave, manly peo
PIE. He thought be was justified in stating
that the doctrine expressed in the resolution
was their doctrine as it was that of other
American people. Making war upon unof
rant TO these citizens as 10 any other PEG
pie. He saw that Her Msjesty's Ameri
can representative had said America had
been remiss in her duties in some
respects America could not undertake to
deal with mere violent expressions and If il
did, those things would be more dangerous
IN their repression than in their expression
He believed the United States, in the future
as in the past, would perform all her duties
to other powers.
Mr.. Riddleberger said he had not assumed
that the explosions were the results of
method of warfare adopted by Irish people.
He declared again he had not sufficient in
formation, nor had any other Senator suf.
hcient information for the proposed action.
Mr.. Gibson said he thought ii proper
that American people OF kindred institu-
tions and kindred in blood with the British
should give expression to their views. Peo-
pie who used dynamite put themselves on
level with those who used poison they were
assassins and murderers.
