ever such a contract shall be made, and
as a part of the cost of such cable, the

henderson rep, Of Nebraska, took the
ground that even if the rules did stand
IN The way of such an important propo-
si-1n the rules ought to be brushed

Of Delaware, described as anarchy"

for the great republic to extend It's limits
and to become the rival of England in
obtaining the islands of the ocean. He
advocated the taking not only of the Sand
witch Islands. but of some of the islands
of the Caribbean sea.
Mr.. Lodge. rep, of Massachusetts,, ex-
pressed similar views. and frankly ad-
m.tted that the main object of the amend
mant was 70 take the first step toward q
proper protection Of the United States in
the region laying around her coasts.
