After the Speech.


Mr.. Hoar's allusion to the lack of special
ability on the part of the American negotia-
tors of the treaty was contested by Senators
Payne and Gray.
Mr.. Hoar insisted that the training of
Messrs. Putnam. Angel. and Bayard did not
fit them to cope on terms Of equality with
the men whom Great Britain sent, and
thought the result their diplomatic attempt
would abundantly satisfy the Senate of that
fact. Mr.. Hoar thought Mr. Frye or Mr..
Trescot or Mr.. Woodbury. would have saved
us from the disgrace and humiliation of the
treaty. Commenting on the intimation in
Mr.. Morgan's speech on the treaty to the ef-
feet that If the question were submitted to
the South between free fish and war with
Great Britain, the result would be in favor
of the former, Mr.. Hoar paid a high com
pliment to the courage and c0nstancy and
capacity for the great affection and gener-
ers of the Southern confederacy. He ex-
pressed the conviction that the
"a Senators from that section,
20 of whom served in the Confederate
army, would not be willing (when it was a
question of insult and dishonor to the Unit
ed States) to take. their tone from the Secre-
tary of State or the Senator from Alabama.
There was no occasion, he said, for note of
war;. Firmness, strength, calmness and dig
nifty In understanding and maintaining the
just rights of the United States would be
much more likely to ensure peace than
would the yielding diplomacy of the admin
istraton.
The delivery of Mr.. Hoar's speech occu-
pied little over four hours. For the most
part it has been in type several weeks, but
some portions were extemporized. During
much of the time he occupied there was a
very fair attendance of senators on both
sides of the chamber during the whole time.
The senators present paid the closest atten-
ton to the speech. AT the close Mr.. Hoar
was complimented by several Republican
senators. The Senate then passed from ex-
ecutive to legislative business. The confer
ence report on. the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill was agreed to, and the SEN
ate adjourned

magnificent railroad system, and the courage
and enterprise with which her statesmen are
adding these new links to the chain with
which England, like Almighty snake, is wind
ing her coils about the globe. Sir Charles
Upper and Sir John Macdonald may well
give lessons to both sides Of this chamber.
She Is not afraid to create or to control the
great railroads that are essential TO her COM
mercial prosperity, She does not send away
her famous engines, when they place their
genius at her command, humbled and baffied
from her legislative chamber, to die in sor-
row and disappointment. She is not afraid
to build ship railway, or even to create
navy. But when she asks us to abandon our
fishermen to her tender mercies, to build up
a naval school for her by giving her fisher
men our market, she asks what it is neither
fitting for us to Weld nor for her to receive.
