ODonnell of Michigan, member of the COM
mittee. said The message was very patriotic
worthy OF lie Executive, and viii meet the APP
prevail of the American people.
Barmer OF Pennsylvania another member Oh
the committee, said ii our country can receive
reparaton and satisfaction without the awful
consequences Of war he would avoid il. but not
at the sacrifice OF ourihag and the rights OF our
citizens.
OPPOSED TO WAR.
McMillln OF Tennessee said while the message
is in a belligerent tone, he thought we should be
able TO settle the matter without war.
Simpson of Kansas thought 1t ridiculous and a
disgrace for this country 10 20 TO war on The
prrteXt given I'm The evidence. The message
sounded like a speCia plea to get the irish vote.
He thought the President was DESTROYS OF getting
up row TO get renomlnatOn. II he could not
get it by other means. The proper course TO
pursue was to appoint a commission to inyeStl-
gate the whole subject.
Springer OF Illinois said: "The message seems
TO be entirely eX-parte in It's statements aud
does not disclose the case presented by the
Chilean Government l presume The case OF
chile Will appear In the correspondence, and,
after all the facts are known, the probabilities
are the case VIII be presented IN different
light. In any event, the facts are disputed and
while they are in dispute We won ID not be 1usu-
fed IN going TO war without further invesuga-
lion. There IS no necessity for haste, and am
satisfied that when this investigation shall have
been made and IL Is found that tue Chilean Gov.
eminent Is TO blame, that Government will make
ample apology aud reparattOn II the facts can
be agreed upon, case for arbitration will be
presented and the Intervention OF foreign pow
ers should be invoked. There should be no
resort 10 war until all efforts have been ex-
hau,Ied 10 secure peaceful solution"
Breckinridge OF Kentucky thought the mes
sage an able document, an excellent pTesenta-
ton by an admirable lawyer OF case that lie IS
prosecuting against an adversary. He hardly
thought IL StateSmanlIke message to a great
people about question OF war with very small
country IN the tnrOes OF civil war, especially
where the caus: OF The Oiiense grew out OF the
belief that our Minister and navy had sided
against them. He didn't think we ought 10 have

A WARLIKE SOUTHERNER.
Oates OF Alabama was Tor war. He thought
the message wel-timed and conservative 10 tOue.
II our demands wee not complied with and suit
able reparatiOn made, II Is right to break oil
diplomatic relations, and not only that, but the
Government ought 10 send a competent force
there to compel them TO respect our flag. "ln
utterDg thiS," said Oates, 'n my Judgment, am
ujermg the sentiments of the old southern
rebels Old Southern soldiers respect this flag as
our flag, and II insults are offered they are pre-
pared to fight like de Wis Tor the maintenance of
The honor OF country If Chile does not
apologize we ought 70 Seud enough men and yes

have torn the Chilean town to pieces"

York said tn message seems 10 indicate fully as
much OF eXgency on the part of The Administra-
Ilon which has got US into this difficulty, 10 have
its mistakes vIudica ed as II does of tie neces-
sity 10 maintain the dignity OF our country and
rights OF cur citizens. he assertion by The
President of The right OF asylum as practlced By
Egdu is so TeDuguant 10 the relations between
civilized people that It's assertion by the Presi-
dent 10 the opening OF his message indicates that
The Administration sees no beuer way out or the
mess ia which Il has permitted Itself 20 be In
VOWED than by distractng attention and hiding
behind the poor sailors OF the Baltimore. In
other words so far as the TWO nations are con-
cerued, on the Presidents own ground, the
United States seems the WantOn aggl esSOr We
nave yet no reason TO believe that when we shall
9ftAmplpQ be toward Chile tie
rights Of our citizens shall not be respected and
proper reparatlon made.
MONEY WILL BE SUPPLIED.

O'NeiIl OF Massachusetts, a Democratic mem
Der Of The House Committee on Appropriations,

thai of a MOI al protector. Our power and cOndl-
lion demands the greatest possible fOrbearance.
Our tue policy should have been earlier 10 have
sent to Chile some American WHO would have
been recognized by them as the rue Exponent #
American interests, with authority 10 settle The
difficulty. | DO not believe. however war Will re-
salt from the present condition OF things unless
The President is determined that + shall result,
because war on the part OF The Uni Ell States
against Chile would be simply objectionable |
| don't think the Presidents message foieclOSes
| The chances OF adjustment but | think lie has
made II more difficult"
